When this theme of Decolonizing Love occurred to me for this episode, the first person I thought of was writer, Erotic Blueprint coach and self-described baby Orisha devotee Chelsea A. Hamlet, on whose blog I’d been reading such titles as “This is how I wish my partners responded when I told them they gave me an STI” and “What About Your Friends with Herpes?” elsewhere her essays about kink like “‘I Had Extra-Freaky, Mind-Blowing Sex With A BDSM Dom And Hit Up A Kink Party’. That she’s “reading about the connection between pleasure, sexuality, feminism, and women of the African Diaspora along with redefining what self-pleasure means to her beyond traditional masturbation practices.”… This is just the kind of frankness and perspective we need to decolonize love, and decolonize our thinking. We started the conversation with Chelsea’s thoughts on the word Witch.About Missing Witches

Amy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast. We do

every aspect from research to recording, it is a DIY labour of love and

craft. Missing Witches is entirely member-supported, and getting to know

the members of our Coven has been the most fun, electrifying,

unexpectedly radical part of the project. 

 

These days the Missing Witches Coven gathers in our private, online

coven circle to offer each other collaborative courses in ritual,

weaving, divination, and more; we organize writing groups and witchy

book clubs; and we gather on the Full and New Moon from all over the

world. 

 

Our coven includes solitary practitioners, community leaders, techno

pagans, crones, baby witches, neuroqueers, and folks who hug trees and

have just been looking for their people. 

 

Our coven is trans-inclusive, anti-racist, feminist, pro-science,

anti-ableist, and full of love.

 

If that sounds like your people, come find out more. Please know that

we've been missing YOU.
