Ruderal Witchcraft: Working Class Ecologies in Revolt

By Margaretha Haughwout and Oliver Kellhammer

Ruderal Witchcraft: Weeds and Magic in the Capitalocene offers a theoretical framework and a set of practices specific to the planetary, weedy natures that emerge as a result of
capitalogenic processes.

Organized in five categories of witchy, revolutionary action: love spells and invisibility magic in the margins; 'biotarian' timecraft; shapeshifting powers of hyperecologies and hyperorganisms; fugitive commoning; and healing, remediation and danger.

Drawing primarily from Marxist feminism, Marxist environmental history, science and technology studies, Situationism, as well as the authors' own ecological interventions in the so-called United States, the authors propose that these actions, when conducted together, can expand the territory from which revolutionaries can renew themselves.

With descriptions of how to work with ruderal plants and ruderal ecologies, plant monographs, spells, and other hands-on information, Ruderal Witchcraft is, among other things, a field book, a cultivation guide, and a grimoire.
