By T. Thorn Coyle | Urban Witchcraft | Magical Realism | Queer & Inclusive Fantasy

By Earth launches the Witches of Portland series by beloved author and activist T. Thorn Coyle, blending contemporary magic, spiritual activism, and richly developed characters in an empowering tale of healing, resistance, and community.

Set in modern-day Portland, Oregon, the story follows Cassiel, a witch and herbalist called to awaken their power and face long-buried grief. As gentrification, climate crisis, and injustice threaten the city’s heart, Cassiel joins a circle of witches working elemental magic to restore balance—beginning with Earth. Through ritual, love, and transformation, they discover the strength to reclaim both magic and purpose.

Rooted in real-world magical practices and featuring a cast of queer, diverse, and complex witches, By Earth is a vibrant introduction to a series where every element brings a new layer of wisdom, growth, and resistance.
