They called it witchcraft when women did it.
When we gathered in circles under the moon, chanted our desires into the dark, made offerings to the unseen, and trusted our bodies as conduits of cosmic force—they called it heresy.
When we turned inward for guidance, saw visions, healed with herbs, guided the transitions of life and death, or declared our wisdom, they called it evil, dangerous, and ungodly. 
So, in the name of their god, they bound us, beat us, burned us, silenced us, and did all the bad bad unspeakable things to us. 
Wait, who are the evil and dangerous ones here?
And now—centuries later—here come the mens. Preaching manifestation, selling abundance, law of attraction, NLP, energy healing with fancy names. Standing on TEDx stages, explaining “vibration” and “alignment”, as if they discovered it.
And let’s not forget to mention, the rituals and prayers, the incense, the chanting, and the trance states utilised in all of the mens’ religions.
As if this wasn’t the same sacred technology that we have always known and used, that they stole from us, and that they continuously attempt to erase when WE speak of it.
Let me be clear, all of that stuff is magick, and esotericism by another name. 
They are the bones of witchcraft.
They are ancient. They belong to the women, the queers, the gender diverse, the neurodivergents, the pagans, and the indigenous people of every country. And they were once punishable by death. 
But of course everything is acceptable when the mens do it. 
It is not new to understand that intention shapes reality.
It is not revolutionary to claim that desire calls the future into form.
It is not genius to teach people how to attract through vibration.
Witches did this long before the mens came with their misogynist monotheism. It was safe before then. It was respected.
We built altars and whispered into fire. We called upon deities, ancestors, and elemental forces to guide our offerings into the world. We read energy, shaped our belief, and trusted sensation and intuition. We wrote sigils and prayers. We sold potions and prophecy. We helped people.
I’m not here to take anything away from those who teach with integrity. But I will not be silent while our stolen magick is polished and resold as motivational instantaneous ‘gold’. it really doesn’t work like that. And they are spouting lies.
Corporate spirituality is toxic, it punishes the weak and the disabled and the different. It pushes people blindly beyond their limits. It sells quick fixes that don’t work in the long term.
We are the descendants of the silenced, the healers, and the heretics.
If you’ve ever doubted your wisdom because it didn’t sound like a textbook or business podcast—stop. Go back to the source of it. Trust your inner knowing again. You are walking in an unbroken lineage of truth, wildness and power. Remember who you are.
With love and Heresy,
