For solstice and as a celebration of STRENGTH this Litha, we spoke with Tanya and Skye of Earthbound Futures. Honestly it took me forever to edit because I kept writing down astonishing things they said. Here are a few:

Something I am learning from disability justice advocates is that there’s no healing for me if there’s not healing for the larger systems in the world... That’s the queering of the hero’s journey for me. I don’t want to fight something. I want to get together with other people and creatively destroy the systems and the structures that are keeping the world inaccessible and keeping us sick and making us sick.

...

I feel like I’m trying to get in touch with a body that society has tried to make me dissociate from in so many ways. Growing a beard at 11 was so confusing. It was such a big secret, a secret that I’ve been holding on to, I was 32 when I started growing my beard and when I did that I feel like I unlocked all my queer ancestors. Be who you are. Smash that binary. I’m a bearded woman, I embody both energies.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.
