MW+: W.I.T.C.H - We Are The Power
In the first episode of season 7 of the Missing Witches podcast, Amy tells the story of W.I.T.C.H. Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell - a group that sprung up from the Women's Liberation movement in 1968 New York, on Halloween, to hex sexism, capitalism and racism. A group who's legacy is still visible today. Then Risa joins in to chat about the bizarre and the holy, the infinite modes of taking action, hiding in plain sight, and together we dance in the notion of being our own ancestors. Delight and liberation for all.
