WF LITHA 2021 Earth Bound Futures: QUEER The Heroes Journey and Find Your Inner Ally
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

BELTANE 2021 w Amy & Risa: Turning and Burning
In this episode, Amy and Risa take a patented Missing Witches Spiral of conversation around the Beltane Bonfire of Imagination. We dance around our future plans, our May fundraiser for Native Women's Shelters (KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS, WE'VE GOT SOME AMAZING RAFFLE PRIZES FOR DONORS), and our love of fire, literal and metaphorical. Turning (the Wheel) and Burning (the system).
Image by Amy: We officially launched our Instagram on Beltane 2018 and I made some digital art for that post, so I figured I'd honour the anniversary with another digital bonfire.About Missing Witches
