What We’ve Forgotten is an ancient text for modern times that promises to undermine systems of oppression through the power of wonder and magic available to us all. Meeting at the intersection of social justice, technology, and witchery, it's magic book for the tech world that takes readers on an active quest through the cosmos of consiousness.Shining new light on the old ways, What We’ve Forgotten is a like playing Legend of Zelda in a book. Each chapter is its own temple, its own room. Amy Miranda leads readers through an active meditation, bringing them through portals in the universe that most of us don't even realize we have access to. What We've Forgotten reminds us of the adventure, rites, and ritual of journey work. Wonder witch and oracle Amy Miranda invites us all into a temple of remembering, taking us through the cosmos of consciousness to reconnect us all into the deep magic of life. Unlike most books on magic, What We've Forgotten recreates the mystery and adventure of deep journey work, leading readers to their deepest memories and hidden truths. For the first time, the traditions of shamanic practice are given new life, told through a modern perspective while still honoring their historical and cultural traditions. Amy Miranda is not your usual witch - unless your witch quotes Public Enemy while communing with ascendent masters, all while connecting thousands of clients and followers with guides, forces, and powers from the other side of the veil. Amy always knew she was a magician - just not the kind that pulled rabbits out of hats, rather the kind that invited people down the rabbit hole. In What We've Forgotten, that invite is extended to all, creating a literary VR-experience where readers will journey through the temple of their consciousness, helping them to understand how magic is nothing more than the chemicals we are made of and the ether in which we all exist, now, before, and beyond. In this heartbreaking and hilarious work of witchery, Amy adds a new spin on some of the most famous teachers under which she was trained, including Sandra Ingerman, taking the rites and rituals of journey work, and not only making them accessible to all, but understandable, sharing the historical, scientific (she will definitely take readers to Nerdtown), and cultural traditions which ground the work of cosmic consciousness, and its interdimensional exploration. Through this experience, readers will not only have the opportunity to engage with their own cosmic consciousness, but begin to see that our world can achieve collective liberation not only through the disengagement with systems of oppression, but through the re-engagement of wonder, that lives within us all.

Through Maggie's drunken youth, she was reminded by her preacher father of The 3 Things: you are part of a family, be true to yourself, and glorify God in all that you do. But as Maggie shares in this transformational book, those old truths take on new meaning in modern life, recovery, and motherhood.Sometimes, simplicity can untangle the most complicated messes. Even in the darkest pit with the cold hard slab of rock bottom pressed against our face, there is a lifeline of truth, a rope of wisdom we can grab to pull ourselves out. As Maggie Boxey curled into a tight ball of overwhelming shame, addiction, and isolation, she could hear her preacher father’s voice, echoing in her ears. “You are part of a family. Be true to yourself. Glorify God in all that you do.” These were the three things Maggie’s Daddy would insist she repeat as a teenager before running out the door for “sleepovers” that were really trips to the darkest corners of town to binge drink with strangers. Each night, she would rattle off the 3 things before wandering off to pull herself further into the complicated mess it would take decades to untangle. It took her 25 hard, traumatic years for her to fully grasp the depth of her father’s words, through her time serving in the Navy, through addiction, and through losing custody of her child due to her behavior and instability. The deeper Maggie sunk into addiction and isolation, the less she felt part of a family. Without community to see herself reflected back to her, it felt impossible for her to be true to herself. Instead of glorifying God in all she did, she resorted to foxhole prayers and felt unworthy of God’s love. She lived in the undoing of the 3 things until she found herself in an alcoholic suicidal bottom with only two ways to go: end it all, or surrender to a new beginning. She chose the latter. With the 3 things as her guide, Maggie gathered powerful forces to aid her in her recovery: contemplation, community, celebration, and compassion for herself and others. She relied on her 12-step recovery community to help her get sober and put in the humble work to right the wrongs of her past. She became part of a family again, both chosen and inherited. Her compassionate honesty allowed her to be true to herself. And she remembered what it means to glorify God in all she did, whether that was taking out the trash, giving birth to her second child, or writing a book in service to others, The 3 Things. In The 3 Things, Maggie Boxey shares how she used her faith to regain all she lost and find the will to start again, even when it seemed hopeless. She shares her struggles of being a sober progressive liberal living in military communities in the South. And as a die-hard Indigo Girls fan, she guides readers from all walks of life and religious backgrounds to get closer to fine.

After her husband's tragic death, recovering addict Jane, a former producer for one of television's biggest broadcasters, must confront her past and the potential she abandoned years before when she, negotiating between advocacy and exploitation, must decide if she's willing to fight for the dream she left behind.
