Following a decade of abuse, addiction, PTSD, and heavy-duty drug treatment for a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, she felt drawn to the real spirits and powers her dispossessed and discarded ancestors knew, while she undertook necessary work to find love and meaning. In this collection of intertwined essays, she writes about land, heartbreak, and colonization, about life without the escape hatch of intoxication, and about how she became a powerful witch. She interlaces stories from her forebears with cultural artifacts from her own life -- Twin Peaks, the Oregon Trail II video game, a Claymation Satan, a YouTube video of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham -- to explore questions of cultural inheritance and the particular danger, as a Native woman, of relaxing into romantic love under colonial rule -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Washuta, Elissa. $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Witchcraft. 650 0 $a Witches $z United States $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Psychology. 941 $a 19 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716033635.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015903.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023332.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20231018010702.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021624.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011007.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706013645.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064951.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20211214011045.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010357.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210803015124.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064644.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210702013058.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012250.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010508.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210629010507.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210508010129.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013542.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210420010152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA3CB22AA19D11EB913A758D3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
