About this product
Product Information
A history of mystic resistance and liberation and of five women who transcended the expected to transform America. For centuries, women who emerge as mystic leaders have played vital roles in American culture. For just as long, they've been subjugated and ridiculed. Today, women and others across the nation are once again turning to their mystic powers to #HexThePatriarchy and help fight the forces that seem bent on relegating them to second-class citizenry. Amid this tumult, Lucile Scott looks to the past and the stories of five women over three centuries to form an ancestral spiritual coven: Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans; Cora L. V. Scott, nineteenth-century Spiritualist superstar; Helena Blavatsky, mother of Theosophy; Zsuzsanna Budapest, feminist witch and founder of Dianic Wicca; and Marianne Williamson, presidential candidate and preacher of the New Age Gospel of Love. Each, in their own ways, defied masculine preconceptions about power. A scathing queer feminist history and a personal quest for transcendence, An American COVENant opens our eyes to the paths forged by women who inspired the nation in their own times--and who will no longer be forgotten or silenced in ours.

"Journalist Scott delivers an in-depth look at five 'feminist mystics' from American history in her provocative debut...[and] reveals how the female leaders of these movements have risen to prominence and been repressed by the powers that be...In addition to biographical sketches of each woman, Scott provides the historical context for their movements, and details her own search for identity and spiritual solace amid personal turmoil...Scott writes with blunt honesty, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong sense of purpose. The result is an impassioned tribute to the perseverance and radicalism of female spiritual leaders in America." -- Publishers Weekly, "Journalist Scott delivers an in-depth look at five 'feminist mystics' from American history in her provocative debut...[and] reveals how the female leaders of these movements have risen to prominence and been repressed by the powers that be...In addition to biographical sketches of each woman, Scott provides the historical context for their movements, and details her own search for identity and spiritual solace amid personal turmoil...Scott writes with blunt honesty, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong sense of purpose.

In this delicious blend of memoir and ethnography, Scott has taken us down a rabbit hole that old, crusty, colonial history books should've given us should they only have been so honest. I devoured this book, learned a great deal about little known people who shaped the world fiercely, and even discovered a good bit about myself. This is one hell of a book!" --Mira Ptacin, award-winning author of Poor Your Soul and The In-Betweens: The Spiritualists, Mediums, and Legends of Camp Etna "As someone who's long tried to resist the 'woo,' An American Covenant was an eye opening and delightful read. It beautifully strikes a balance between modern day feminism and ancient mysticism that gives all of us permission to embrace the unknown to better shape today's world." --Franchesca Ramsey, host of MTV Decoded and author of Well, That Escalated Quickly "Journalist Lucile Scott writes the way Van Gough painted; with swirling use of vivid, colorful prose lavished onto a canvas of dreamy sequences, An American Covenant culminates into a gorgeous work of art worthy of its own exhibition. Scott escorts us along her time-traveling journey, breathing new life into pathways long since forgotten, while showcasing five spectacular women--all mystics, whose influence on our history and inroads into dismantling the patriarchal power structure have never been fully honored. Until now. An absolutely enchanting and enlightening read." --Victoria Laurie, New York Times bestselling author of Ghoul Interrupted and Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls "[Lucile] is the Anthony Bourdain of mysticism." --Brian Vines, BRIC Media, An Autostraddle fall book to look out for A Lambda Literary most anticipated LGBTQ book of October "Journalist Scott delivers an in-depth look at five 'feminist mystics' from American history in her provocative debut...[and] reveals how the female leaders of these movements have risen to prominence and been repressed by the powers that be...In addition to biographical sketches of each woman, Scott provides the historical context for their movements, and details her own search for identity and spiritual solace amid personal turmoil...Scott writes with blunt honesty, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong sense of purpose.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
