"This is a time to be cautious, not a time to be fearful. This is a time to tell the world who we are, not who we aren’t."

I wish Pagans were the threat “Pagan Threat” says we are. I wish we had the power, the influence, and the organizational competency it says we have. Instead, this book tries to make Pagans the scapegoats for the internal failings of conservative religion.

🚨 🎙️New Episode Drop 🎙️ 🚨

Rayne finally got to attend the Sacred Space Conference this year and while it was several months ago at this point, we circled back to discuss since it has since shaped our practices and beliefs.

As the term "mancy" originally referred to divination, originally "necromancy" was less about raising zombies and more about using the dead to predict the future, such as by throwing bones, studying entrails, or summoning a prophetic ghost for questioning.

🥴 Especially these days, when someone asks me I just kinda stare because I have no idea what they are about to hit me with.

My biggest pet peeve is the negative assumptions of the #Ouija board by normies and other practitioners. The Church and The Exorcist has rotted your brain.

#WitchSky #PaganSky #Divination

Think about where your beliefs come from. The Ouija board is NOT a portal to hell. That's what the church wanted you to believe! #witchtok #ouijaboard #divination

In short, conservative and racist "witches" are doing lots of mental gymnastics to reaffirm their hate and privilege and should be called out.

Witchcraft is political. Spirituality is political. To deny that is to be willfully ignorant.

The more I learn about the history of #Witchcraft and the evolution of spirituality in America, especially the Spiritualist movement, the more I'm convinced that you CANNOT claim to be a #Witch now without also being an activist and ally to the oppressed.
