Book Description
Alchemize your unique dreams and desires, glean the magickal tools you need, and direct them toward your visions and goals to achieve a Wild Dream Life that you never imagined was possible.

Build your Wild Dream Life—a life that is designed by you, that makes the most of your talents, skills, and gifts, and that is made up of all the things you love, value, and desire.

In this transformational guide, Brandi offers the wisdom, praxis (practices), and rituals you need to say a full-bodied “yes!” to releasing all the magick that resides in you and then follow up with action—in whatever form you so choose.

From meditation, journaling, tarot reading, and tracking your progress in a grimoire, to building ancestral connections, calling on spirit animal allies, and harnessing seasonal, astrological, and lunar magick, Brandi offers practical and magickal ways to kickstart your journey and achieve your own Radical Personal Alchemy.

Author bio
Brandi Amara Skyy (she/they/we/us) is a Catalyst; Author; and Wild Dream coach who believes we all have a fire and Universe inside waiting to Big Bang its way out of us.

They are the author of 7 books, including The Little Book of Drag (2022) and Be More Drag (2023) both published by Ryland Peters & Small, The WOKE MAGIC Grimoire (2020 to present), and Magick For Transformation (October 2024). Their work has been featured in BET, Curve Magazine, Global Grind, and Ofrenda Magazine with her first piece for BET going viral; and as a journalist, op-ed writer, TV anchor, and columnist for The Dallas Voice.

She grew up under the South Texas Sun, rhinestone beaches, and full familia tamale-making kitchen table wisdom. As a double Leo, they have been everything performative under the Sun: Junior Olympic artistic roller-skating champion, cross-country touring belly dancer, and award-winning drag queen.

Known as the “Queen of Firsts,” they were the first to publish books on female drag queens and spearhead the first haute drag magazine, GAG Magazine; have their neo-drag performance group open up for Lady Gaga; and win the first National Drag Pageant, Miss Diva USofA in 2014.

As a Queer, Indigenous, Mexica teacher and coach, her mission is to use her life to be proof of what is possible and lead the change she wishes to see. Through her lifestyle bodega and brand WOKE MAGIC, 1:1 and group mentorship programs, and online magical Witchflix learning hub, they help folxs reclaim their magic, conjure their creatrix, and learn how to lead from their creativity, heart, and medicine so they can use their life to be proof of what is possible.

As an Artivist, Brandi has been using her art as activism since 2005; has spoken on diversity inclusion to international companies like Southwest Airlines; lobbied Congress on behalf of the Human Rights Campaign while interning at the Women’s Institute of Public Policy and Research in Washington DC; and has marched, led, and help organzine many street marches. They hold a BA in Dance and MA in Multicultural Women’s & Gender Studies from Texas Woman’s University.

When they’re not busy being the change they wish to see, Brandi can be found deepening her craft, on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, and/or obsessing over all things Lisa Frank and Dallas Cowboys football.

Brandi resides on her native lands, known as Wimberley, Tejas, with her wife Candace, and their spoiled, papaleta Maltese/Shih-Tzu rescue, June.
