White Witches Need to Talk About Cultural Appropriation

I talk through the cycle of cultural appropriation from a white witch’s perspective. “Whiteness” and our lost lineage of relationship with land and community contribute to the spiritual lack that leads to cultural appropriation. 

I invite you into the journey of rediscovery of lineage, of subversive decolonization, of the necessary work to dismantle white supremacy for individual and communal healing!
