I liked about half the stories; most of the rest were good but not what I was looking for. A couple I skipped almost entirely, because they had nothing really to say about either meaningful resistance or magic, the two things the book should be about. I did mark my favorite stories (Trash Magic, Garden, and I Am Myself a Body of Water) so I could find them later, because I do very much intend to read them again.

Deeply personal and invigorating, Becoming Dangerous offers connections and shared experiences for femmes everywhere and presents insight to how modern witchcraft sinks into our daily lives. These essays are heartfelt, vivid, and moving, and the collection of writers makes a noteworthy attempt at intersectionality.

Other reviewers are right, the standout is really "Ritualising My Humanity" by J A Micheline, which comes almost at the end of the book. About half of the essays are five-star worthy, and most of the rest were very good.
This is by far the best, most varied, least prescriptive*, and most interesting witchy book I've read so far.
* (that one essay notwithstanding, lol.)

A thoughtful read that was not really for me as there was a focus on finding strength in sexuality and sex which isn't inspiring (or particularly enjoyable to read) as an asexual. I would like to return to the self-care, glamour, facial skin care essay as I definitely have been wanting to get into Korean skin care and that was basically an essay cheat sheet lol.
