MW Harriet Tubman: Reach For The Stars To Change The World

Today’s episode is unlike most because you’ve almost 100% heard of our featured witch. But the Missing part of Missing Witches comes in many forms. In American history, Harriet Tubman’s story is oft told, a hero of civil rights, a literal trailblazer, railroad conductor, freedom fighter whose face was set to appear on the american twenty dollar bill, making her the only woman and the only black person to hold such a distinction. Monuments, schools, museums and libraries, even a U.S. military ship bear her name. So for sure I’d heard of Harriet Tubman. What I had not heard was that she was a Witch. The Missing part, for me, in Harriet’s story, is the Witch part. So we’ll be hitting some key biographical points, but today, we’ll mostly go looking for the Witch part we’ve been Missing. 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.    https://www.missingwitches.com/join-the-coven/
