Beloved coven, we've missed you. We took our annual August break with new weights on us this year, we've been deep in the composting and dissolving stage of transformation and we're only slowly unfurling our weird new wing-selves now.
The Rx. this week is just this sweet lil epistle, no podcast episode, your eyes only. We have lots coming up next week that we'd like to invite you to - come be in circle and learn and swirl powers with us!!! - and starting on Mabon, the autumn equinox, holy day of balance and of tipping into dark, we will officially launch our Fall 2024 podcast season. The episodes we're working on are weird and special and full of magic, and alive with radical Witch ancestors. We were cut open and walked the poison path and rebuilt the very land we stand on while we made these episodes, which brings us to the listening part of this missing witch prescription...
It's the VH1 Divas Live 1999 w/ Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Cher, Chaka Khan, Elton John, and comes via our beloved coven mate Jen.
In our Coven Circle, Risa shared that during the deep, disorienting wells of her chemotherapy, she'd discovered that what her brain loved best was concert footage. Narratives couldn't hold together, interviews or documentaries all unspooled, and comedies hurt, but well-shot concert footage was like being carried gently through time. And no one carries us through time into glorious futures quite like a soaring raft of 90s Divas.
So that's the prescription, let their fierce strength and joy and leather and sparkles and their huge levitating voices, their lovingly tended breath and bodies, their joy and vulnerability and friendship and dance moves, let it all help hold your hope.
