Focusing on the history of Witchcraft.
We sat down in the anointing glow of Christena Cleveland’s light to chat about her new book God Is A Black Woman. “We are all healing from religious trauma,” she says. But we are all sacred and we can imagine a God who welcomes our messiness. “My mess is my sacred offering to
PodcastWe are missing the profound magic of marginalized voices. The world is starving for them. We are longing for all the wisdom and magic that has been suppressed and defamed. We are always interested in Black History. But let’s pause together here — while we are in the moon cycle dedicated to thi
Missing Witches“The remarkable Veronica Varlow seizes life with both hands and bends it to her will. Learn from her.” —Neil Gaiman And we got to!

PodcastThis episode was hard to write. Hildegarde’s work seems to go on and on and I want to go deeper and deeper into the visions she shared, and swim with her in all directions – into the cosmos and into the earth. But I also keep pulling back and asking why a witch history spends… Read

Missing WitchesLucille Clifton was a twelve-fingered, two-headed woman – her mother and daughter too – and she stepped into a house in Baltimore and began to hear the voices of her ancestors. She was the first poet to have two books up for the Pulitzer at the same time. Her grandmother was a child when
Missing WitchesIn this story we push past the settler faces dynamited into sacred ground to get to the missing history of real American heroes. Real Witches whose names aren’t told in school, but whose magic has shifted the culture we inhabit. Hidden, moving in shadows and behind the scenes. Today we’ll meet Lozen
Missing WitchesThis one goes out to the queer, and to the lonely. For so many of us who deviated down the occult aisles, Scott Cunningham was our first.
