94. Witch: Getting Close to the Word

I've been wanting to talk about the word Witch for a long time time now. It's a word that is not neutral. This is a word that knows violence. This is a word that knows silencing. This is a word that knows projection. It's a slippery word one that resists description, definition, and even etymology. It belongs to the realm of the unlanguable: to mystery, to intuition, to magic.

I wanted to have this conversation in my podcast because it might be safer for folks to get close to it if they don't have to put their name or their money down to engage with it. My desire is to do any small bit of clearing distortion that I can.

To help me in my dream for this episode, I invited 6 individuals who I knew would offer words on Witch as unique as they are. Thank you to each, who you hear in this order:

~ Mariola Rosario (she/her): astrologer, artist, teacher, and witch

~ Rebecca Padgett (she/her): artist, mystic, and medium

~ Jonathan Koe (they/he): artist, mystic, and astrologer

~ Samar Jade (they/them): magical academic, seer, writer, and ensoulment doula

~ Lisa Quigley (she/her): alien cyborg glitch witch

~ Matt Bull (he/him): writer, artist, dad, lover

I am wildly grateful for your these profound testimonies to the word Witch.

What comes together here feels very magical to me, and I hope it does for you too. Let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, confusions, or shares!
