In this episode, we're talking about a subject many people have been taught to fear ... witchcraft. But the image of witches in Hollywood, couldn't be farther from the truth!
Right now, the witch is rising! More and more young people - women especially - are reclaiming the term "witch" and using witchcraft to take a stand against racism, sexism, and the patriarchy.
Today's guest is Michele Morris. She's an eclectic pagan and practicing witch who just so happens to be the high priestess of Fort Hood Open Circle, the first pagan congregation to be recognized on a U.S Army post. In our chat we discuss:
- what witchcraft means to her
- her path to finding witchcraft and paganism
- empowerment through witchcraft
- why the witch is rising right now
- goddess worship
- tips for "baby witches"
You can connect with Michele via the Fort Hood Open Circle Facebook page.
