Book Description

Employing a unique blend of feminism and magick, this refreshing guide to female self-empowerment helps women acknowledge the beauty, strength, and sexiness within themselves. Utterly honest and captivating, LaSara FireFox banishes the damaging misconceptions and shame often associated with female sexuality and sheds light on what it truly means to be a Sexy Witch.

Each of the seven lessons-covering issues of body image, menstruation, genital exploration, self-acceptance, mentors, and gender-include fun facts, illuminating quotes, and exercises for nurturing the body and spirit. The second half of the book is devoted to rituals-to be practiced alone or with others-that celebrate one's power as a woman, a sexual being, and a Witch.

LaSara Firefox is a dazzling inspiration and firestarter to everyone who encounters her. - Susie Bright, author of Full Exposure

LaSara Firefox is a genius! You couldn't ask for a better guide to take you on this emboldening adventure. Accessible and engaging whether or not you consider yourself a 'witch,' Sexy Witch is a fabulous book full of serious fun. - Ariel Gore, author of The Hip Mama Survival Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Accomplishment, Nov 7 2005

By The Information - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sexy Witch (Paperback)

This is one empowering book! While it may seem this book is for women only, as a man I found it informative and very practical. Some of the contents are specifically for women, including exercises that are guaranteed to both shock and delight readers. A quick look into the library of LaSara Firefox reveals that this is her first full blown book. I will definitely be looking out for more from this author. Sexy Witch is one of the most daring, revealing, and inspiring books I have ever read. The fact that a book like this can be published proves that free speech is still a reality! Although the book does have some roughness, I give it 5 stars for what a special and unique accomplishment it is. I doubt there is any book in existence that pushes the envelope like this one. I found myself laughing out loud, and crying at some of the startling historical information. A copy of Sexy Witch on your coffee table is guaranteed to strike up some interesting conversations with your guests. Based on its contents and graphic exercises I would not be surprised to see this book banned. Sexy Witch has the potential to empower anyone who reads it. I especially like the "media fast" exercise. We all need to do this one, for our health and sanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pagan Exploration of Feminist Themes, Feb 25 2008

By G. Groszkiewicz - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sexy Witch (Paperback)

After neglecting my spiritual side for many years, I found it difficult to sort through the multitude of "witchcraft" books in the search for something genuine. I had seen Sexy Witch several times over the years, and was always curious, so I picked it up. I'm glad that I did, because it is exactly what I've been looking for in a guide to discovering my own spiritual sense.

This book may not be everyone's cup of tea, but perhaps it would help to understand some of the more "out there" activities suggested. Many of the exercises seem to derive from things I have seen and done in feminist workshops on improving body image and connecting with women's spirituality. Some are reminiscent of workshops from the women's rights movement, when women examined their bodies closely to get over the intense shame and stigma associated with certain areas of the female anatomy. Because I am familiar with such explorations, and have even done some of them in the past, I did not find it shocking. Sometimes challenging, but it all made sense to me. For someone who is uncomfortable with the word "Feminist" or who is deeply affected by the social constructs this book aims to push aside, some chapters may seem too radical.

Personally, I love a pagan book that is unabashedly woman-centric without being full of fluffy bunnies, "love spells," and cliche praises to goddesses of the Greek/Roman pantheon. This guide is flexible enough to allow great freedom of expression in ritual. Even color and direction associations are open to your own interpretation, which is wonderful for witches who do not connect with common Wiccan-inspired practices. This book is all about learning to love, honor, respect, and fully own every part of yourself, which is something most women desperately need help with in our body-hating, consumerist, patriarchal society.

This is the best pagan book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Five stars, and two thumbs up.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book had to be written as a joke......, Sep 7 2005

By J. Houy - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Sexy Witch (Paperback)

I wish there were options for negative stars to assign this severely misrepresented book.

The publisher and author have in my opinion done a dis-service to female sexuality and women in general just by the juvenile language used to refer to the female body throughout. There is NOTHING sacred, sexy, nor powerful in this pathetic tome, other than its power to reduce the Craft to a joke.

Please, find some way to read just ONE chapter from this book before deciding for yourself. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Good reviews and total misrepresentation are the only thing selling this joke, and they must be paid for because not one person whom I have shared this book with does anything but say "It would be funny if it were a joke" and then turn serious and say "Oh, just let the fundies get a look at this ridiculous farce and see how much fuel it adds to their fires!"

Buy this book if you want to:

1. Dress as a man for a week

2. Bodypaint yourself menstrual blood and consume your vaginal secretions

3. Hear your sacred parts referred to in all instances as you would expect a 13 year old boy in a gym locker to refer to them.

4. Believe it or not, it goes DOWNHILL from here!

If you want to truly deepen your sexuality and bring forth the true spirit of the Femenine Divine, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Following the path laid out in this book leads you to something between a punk rocker trying to be gross and someone in a padded room painting the walls with feces.

As a special note to any non-pagan fundies reading up on this, let me assure you this twisted tripe is the exception rather than the rule. (Sort of like when some out-there fundies were busy burning people at the stake as a way of life when your core religion states "thou shalt not kill" and preaches forgiveness). This is by NO means a book to be taken seriously, and is clearly a poorly contrived attempt to market the unacceptable and ridiculous through total misrepresentation of its contents. It is unfit for kindling in a sacred fire.
