Despite what others may try to claim, witchcraft is inherently political. Throughout all of history, folk healers, witches, cunning folk, and other magical practitioners used their expertise in herbalism, magic, sorcery, and more to thwart those in power by helping those within their communities so they were not forced to rely on the systems in place and the people who controlled them to meet their needs. As magical practitioners ourselves we must use ALL the tools in our wheelhouse to stand in solidarity with the most vulnerable of our communities and fight back against those in power to dismantle the systems they uphold along with the human created hierarchies that allow these oppressive systems to rise time and time again.
J.D. (they/them) is a folk witch and practitioner of folkloric traditional witchcraft located in the Northeastern United States. They are a chronically ill creator cultivating a community of magical practitioners who want to learn and grow together as well as share knowledge and personal expertise so we can co-create a community that both inspires and motivates.
Here you will find a place where together we can dive into witchcraft, folklore, ancestral reconnection, and radical disobedience by reclaiming the role of the witch as heretic in opposition to the current status quo of capitalism, colonialism, and christian nationalism in attempts to move towards collective liberation and abolition.
