For Ysha, Activist Witch, witchcraft is a deeply political practice. Our conversation explores the radical roots of witchcraft, and our marginalized history of prosecution and resistance. Ysha has a deeply inquisitive nature and a sincere desire to make political witchcraft accessible for people curious about the craft. Please learn more about their important work Witches for Palestine, which fundraises for the mutual aid project: Cwitches for Gaza (linked below.) Listen in for insights into spiritual activism, the importance of articulating our politics, and how capitalism co-opts and corrupts witchcraft - and how we can push back.
