MW Rx. 53 - Come And Get Your Love
Coven, our annual Reparations Fundraiser is complete for 2024 and we're thrilled to share that we beat last year's tally and have officially returned over THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to indigenous-led organizations and non-profits that support survivors of domestic violence and violently displaced people around the world. $3490 of that went directly to the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal.
Amy's prescription is Redbone's Come And Get Your Love.
Because you deserve it, we all do, and it's here for you!
We did it. We came together. It's beautiful. It's been such an amazing thing to witness because we know you don't have tons of extra money lying around, it's so beautiful to see the sacrifices you are willing to make in the name of reparations, in the name of this coming together.
We especially want to shout out some of our top donors: Claire, Julie, Sarah, Karen, and especially Brienne who has been our top donor for the past two years.
We love you so much. We're so grateful you've chosen to be part of this coven.
Please keep the spirit of this action going throughout the year - follow indigenous leadership, artists and authors, learn about the First Nations people of your native land, educate yourself and others on the landback movement, consider how to make reparations in any way you can: donate, celebrate, protest, support!! Or just give your neighbours a helping hand...
The Rx. episode takes a sharp left turn at this point, as Risa brings a request for a prescription she recently received from a friend. We unpack it together to see what we can offer a young Witch and her mom as they navigate how to live with and/or dispose of an object weighted with darkness and heartbreak.
We talk about the weird psychology of freezer spells and the power of making our own rituals in times of pain or transition. Amy offers the perfect prescription song for our querent and for all of us, it's Argent's Dance In The Smoke.
We will light a giant burning fire tonight
We will burn it and dance in the smoke
Every brand we'll tie somebody's worries to it
We will burn it and dance in the smokeAbout Missing Witches
