Just a "Hello, we have offerings" message in your inbox today.
Since publishing our first Autumn episode (below) many have asked how to support us during Risa's cancer treatment and Amy's efforts to save her land from flooding. Your kindness means the world. The best way to help is honestly by supporting our Missing Witches project so we can earn a living and care for our families.
Here's a mini rundown of things that help keep this boat afloat:
- Become a supporting member of Missing Witches.
- Treat yourself to some sweet Missing Witches merch.
- Order our books or our oracle deck.
- No $$ things: review our work on Apple Podcasts or Amazon, or share us with someone you love.
Building the web is the most magical magic of all.
Okay, okay love you =)

New Episode: Cancer Season 1 - Water with Audre Lorde
"On June 3, 2024 I went with my husband Marc to get the results from a biopsy of my left breast and a lymph node. The biopsy was way more painful than I'd been expecting and had left me with the loud stapler sound of the ultrasound-guided biopsy machine ringing in my ear and blood splattered all down my side and back, but still, I wasn't expecting cancer."
New Witch Wear: Bless This Chest for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
After Risa's bilateral mastectomy, she found she needed sports bras and wanted to make one for Missing Witches Shop which was imbued with protection and love. When artist April Rosenberg sent us her art piece Lilith's Cave as a generous offering for podcast merch, the hands reached out. With April's permission, we isolated the magical hands and the drawing of the parsley flower for this mini collection for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Parsley flower has held protective magic for women to exert their choice over their bodies and futures for centuries, in this piece it represents the more-than-human world having your back.
May your chest be blessed and may you feel supported in all your changes, labours and transformations!
New Witch Wares: Spooky Season
Amy created these new designs to celebrate Halloween season, drawing on the lyrics from our song Spirit is Rising (which you hear an exerpt from at the beginning of our Rx. episodes) and from a Samhain carol she wrote for Missing Witches last year:
The seasons change and so must I,
Samhain is Nigh.
