History

edit

She has been active since at least 2013[6] and resides in Los Angeles, California, U.S.[7] She completed a bachelor's degree at City College of New York, as well as graduate school at California Institute of Arts.[8] As of 2019 she was working on her PhD thesis.[9]

In 2017 she appeared on the Tucker Carlson Tonight regarding her binding spell she had put onto Donald Trump to galvanize change symbolically in order to stop him from harming people; Carlson mocked her but she deflected his remarks.[10][11]

She is the author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch written in 2019.[12] An interview with Garcia in The Believer described the book as "[A] feminist history of witchcraft, a work of critical theory, an activist manifesto, a personal mythology, and a memoir ...".[13]
