That why when I learned he had a new book out called \u201cActs of Magical Resistance,\u201d I didn\u2019t even bother looking to see what it was about it and just ordered a copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230707_195115-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230707_195115-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230707_195115-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230707_195115-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230707_195115-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is \u201cActs of Magical Resistance?\u201d It\u2019s a short work of Hine\u2019s recollections of the occult activism history of England, including organizations, and many of their actions. Being in America, much of what this book discusses is new to me. The book is compact, at 50 pages, and it features some great images of flyers, comics, and newsletters from the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActs of Magical Resistance\u201d by Phil Hine is an important addition to the much need modern occult history category. I only wish there was more to it. I\u2019d love to see a second edition that takes the author\u2019s personal experiences and memories and builds it out with more. Perhaps interviews with others about their activism? Maybe more academic research? It could just be that because it\u2019s Hine I just want more of whatever he wants to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/enfolding.org\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you enjoy The Magical Buffet?
