#117 - Ketzirah Lesser, Jewitch Art Priestess

Ketzirah Lesser, haMa’agelet (The Circle Maker), is a maker and teacher of the sacred arts who is an ordained Kohenet and Celebrant as well as holding a BFA from the University of Miami. Through Devotaj Sacred Arts, she explores Jewishly-rooted making, mussar, and magick to connect past, present, & possible future(s); cræfting artifacts for a forgotten future that is more equitable, just, and spiritually alive. The second edition of her oracle deck, Eit/Aht: a Netivot Wisdom Oracle, which is based on Jewish teachings recently funded in only five days on Kickstarter and will be available to the public soon. She lives in Washington, DC with her husband, two pet rabbits, and a house filled with ensouled teddy bears, enchanted appliances, and magickal creatures.

On this episode, Ketzirah discusses her peace amulet for Israel-Palestine, the history of Jewish witches, and how she crafts magic in all aspects of her Jewitchery.

Pam also talks about her current thinking about Israel-Palestine and intergenerational wounds, as a Jewitch who believes in manifesting peace for all.
