Bridgette The Strange

the stress and anxiety and irl threats 😬 at least we got each other lol

Aha ty! I’m used to being attacked by serial killers, bears, tigers, etc. but the dad run lately is newwww 🙈🫠

Speaking of hard conversations irl- I keep having dreams of confronting my dad about Trump and the Epstein files, all of which result in him punching me or attempting or threatening to.

Oy. MAGA boomer fathers are something else.

13. What does solidarity look like beyond hashtags? #WitchMadness

This is goin g to be different for everyone.

I am financially secure so a lot of what I do is donate to organizations that can do the work I can’t. As well as fund mutual aid.

Hard conversations irl is another way I show up.

12. How do we hold power without abusing it? #WitchMadness

For me it looks like the Queen of Swords.

Soft yet stern. Open yet fair.

Listening and speaking with intention.

Cutting through the muck and looking for Truth.

Clear minded, opened eyed, heart-felt Justice for Justice’s sake.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Tarot has changed me so much. For the better

💯💯💯 yes exactly

uncomfortable or painful situations is one thing.

Readers should not be frightening their querents. That’s their own ego and a misuse of the power dynamic between a reader and sitter.

11. How do you use tarot to fortify instead of frighten? #WitchMadness

I always say that tarot should be productive not predictive. That the power isn’t in the cards, it’s within us. We have free will to walk the paths we choose.

Tarot shows us different ways to navigate those paths.

Confronting

Ah that’s amazing!!

🥰

🥹 thank you!

New absolute trash resolution

Original resolution

It’s the age of knowledge. There’s no excuse to live in ignorance anymore.

Do better.

I have stopped supporting businesses of white witches who sell white sage and palo santo.

Who claim to be a ‘master’ of everything. Who charge money for these cultural wisdoms and don’t support the communities they come from.

Who talk about having a spirit animal.

Who pronounce Chakra wrong.

10. What harm have you witnessed in witchcraft communities, and how do we correct it? #WitchMadness

This goes out to my fellow white witches.

We have to stop collecting other people’s cultures and profiting from them.

Here’s a good article to start off your research with.

legally/politically locally and around the country and take appropriate action. I call and email my representatives. I raise awareness.

I also am a part of a local inclusive coven where all are welcome to come as they are.

Finally, I’d say- reading the stories and/or talking to people unlike

9. How do you create safer environments for queer and marginalized witches?

As a queer, Jewitch myself… I created my own safe place: my Discord.

Other than that, I am involved in my local politics and what I’ll call.. defense groups. I stay educated on what’s happening…
