This is a little long so I recommend if you already have a difficult time chatting with me for over two minutes OR don’t feel the steady chafing of misogyny or zealots on the pulpit crafting a life of asinine rules and sneaking their way into state, skip it. Entirely.
Otherwise help yourself below.
IT’S ABOUT WITCHES and YOU’LL LOVE IT. GO ON.
Can you even IMAGINE being accused of witchcraft or any other imagined behavior lacking complete religious condonement?
What if you are not a witch - but also, what if you are? Either way back then you could be living a totally cool life as a modern maiden wonder which of the two local boys you might marry or will it be your cousin, you kind of hope even though it’s family, your cousin is by far the better looking of potentials. OR you could be making some sort of life saving salve as a dedicated witch AND EVEN taking down messages from the villager’s ancestors because you’re that psychic that jt happens all the time like that.
My point is. Didn’t matter if you hadn’t even heard of a witch, as long as you have one thing - let me say it louder for the people in the back - VA**NA - that’s correct, you only need one va**na and it is the only qualifying thing that will get you an unfair trial and later charred crispy rib bones, as the villagers wander west or east after yet another exciting excretion of the devil and his consorts etc and the like, there’s a roasting at least once a week more likely 2+, it’s a good show if you haven’t any butter to churn or thatching to attend.
Oh, I almost forgot, the men were also looking at a quick turnaround from being hale and hearty to a medium size pile of cinders, defend these women and into the fire you go, too! (It’s what they used to call a BOGO back before CVS existed and when babies were allowed to suckle lead spoons and people were totally sound mentally 🫣.)
SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING A WITCH TO TURN TO ANYMORE AS A MUNICIPALITY (don’t laugh, complaints have been lodged):
🎃🥇💯
Bring back the community witch and the mystery house she lives, make the witch a man or a drag queen or a tiny old woman with lace up leather shoes and all your secrets in the palm of her hand, eyes glinting while she only spills you a drop of your fortune (you only deserved a tease answer, you were kind of cheap with your offering of coins, tbh…) Or she manages a house of sin, or she is maybe the 5 year old youngling drifting advice around like cotton candy webs, listen carefully, those little voices have truths cutting and above argument.
Real or wanna be, magick creates hope, impetus, and imagination. Don’t be so sure you won’t be needing a spell of chicken bones tied with twine in the form of an X to do a set of like a million steps with on the crescent moon to reorder the local gossip’s focus fon you to zilch and maybe see if anything cool happens while you’re at it, or to sit shyly in front of a deck of tarot and a stranger and see if you can even ask the scary question, step into the pillow of the unknown, whatever that may be for you.
Witches are also good for the environment, the ECONOMY, creating jobs here people, and are a natural resource across the USA, yes - you heard me right. We do not have to even export the witches.
PLEASE🕯🤙Celebrate your magic, people, (AND your magic people your local celebrity sorceress is a good start) worldwide this month,
and never underestimate how the dragons tongue of flame starting to sear through the bottom of your bare, probably jail cell dirty feet, must have FELT, way back then, and know murky history never fully disappears.
People can be better to one another and stop clogging the lines with drama and fear and ignorance, it really is someone everyone can at least try to do.
So, for this Samhain and Halloween and spooky season and pumpkin spice, and use minutes of an hour for what this time of year is all about, tribute to our beloved dead. To all the burned witches and those who loved them and benefited from them, and to all the women who didn’t know a spell from an apple tree, but had no voice or power to avoid one of the more painful and vile deaths imaginable during the witch hunts; remember, honor.
You are one ragged breath away from being a better human each moment. And women could still use a little more raw, emboldened, and vastly wider nets of personal power and the ability to live as they please.
We are still in a world that voids women of an incredible array of basic and advanced human effing rights, I’m just saying this in case we forgot everyone isn’t free like us, the witch hunt is still on, the flames still crackling for flesh.
ALSO - Work your magic, be the voice for those who haven’t one yet, and FOR CHRIST OR THOR OR HELATE’S SAKE, STOP normalizing women behaving cruelly and directing their nasty low vibe problematic totally insane energy towards other women - go find something else better to do. How embarrassing, anyway.
Trick or Treat, gnaw on what is still tying us to worldwide misogyny and religious rule. Good grief. Also I could go on. I won’t. You’re welcome.
