Excerpt from "The ontology of pussy"

Have you ordered F*cking Magic yet? Have you called your local bookstore and asked them to carry it? If you want incest survivor, bisexual-queer, psychiatric survivor, crazy magic writing to make it into the hands of as many people as possible, your support goes a long way! Published in a beautiful new edition with Revolutionaries press, F*cking Magic is more than 400 pages long and my favourite thing I’ve ever written.

“F*cking Magic is a collection of 12 zines originally hand-made by Clementine Morrigan and posted throughout the world. From alcoholism to sobriety, surviving incest to BDSM, throughout the seasons and many iterations of becoming, Morrigan leans into the darkest and most vulnerable parts of her life in this cult coming-of-age memoir that speaks to taboos and universal truths.” You can order it here.

My zines on trauma informed polyamory are being turned into a book which will be out with Microcosm Publishing in January 2027. The preorder is open! Preordering helps the overall success of the book.

“When we’ve been hurt in our past, relationships can feel fraught, and polyamorous ones even more so. Firebrand author Clementine Morrigan is no stranger to the intense emotions and nervous system reactions non-monogamy can inspire, especially in those of us with insecure attachment styles and significant trauma histories. With directness, vulnerability, and warmth, she shows us how to embrace the parts of ourselves that have acted out, while learning new strategies for our relationships going forward.

Morrigan provides empathy, a new framework and a set of tools, and the achievable goal of building a sense of safety so that our multi-faceted love life no longer overwhelms us. She invites us to validate our experience, set aside our shame, and find a path through the pain toward the fulfilling, secure relationships our hearts desire.” Preorder here!

For those who don’t know, I am writing a book called The ontology of pussy. In the simplest terms, it is my squirting memoir. In more complete terms, it is a trauma and chronic illness memoir that offers something other than pain and grief. It is a memoir about surviving incest, domestic violence, and rape, and developing lichen sclerorsus (an inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the vulva). It is also a memoir about co-creating deep, profound life-changing romantic love, and extremely hot, paradigm-shifting sex. It is about late 30s sexual awakening and the power of women’s sexuality when we step outside of the object role. It is about the freedom, sovereignty, boundaries, and limits that make real, transformative surrender possible. It’s about vulnerability and strength, polyamory, part time heterosexuality, and PUSSY. It is more “autofiction” than my other work, and I hope to slide into magical realism, but we will see.

I have been talking about this book for awhile, but I have also felt very stalled on it. I am finally starting to feel some momentum with the project. While most of the book will not see the light of day until publication, I am going to share some excerpts of the work in progress with my paid subscribers, as a way to keep motivated about the project, and as a way to keep this substack juicy while I’m turning a lot of my attention to the book. Here is a little excerpt. I am very excited about this project. Thank you for supporting my dream of writing more books and developing my practice as a writer.
