Join Witches for Progressive Politics

I’ve created a new Facebook Group, “Witches for Progressive Politics

I created the new Facebook group “Witches for Progressive Politics” during the Full Moon (October 17, 2024), immediately after going to Online Engagement Bootcamp for the Harris Campaign.

When I saw that the “‘Witches for Kamala’ lawn flag post” in Cat Ladies for Kamala Harris had hundreds of comments and thousands of likes, I thought, “oh my goodness: THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!”

So I created this group. It is some excellent Election full moon manifesting, I’d say!

I’d love for this group to be a resource during the rest of the election season and beyond. Invite your friends and connections who are interested. The more, the merrier!

I’m so exited to see what comes from this group. It is the intersection of two of my biggest passions: my witchy spiritual practice and my progressive political beliefs.

I can’t wait to connect with like-minded individuals! 💜🖤⚖️🗽🌛🌝🌜🧚‍♂️🔮💙❤️

From the About Section of the Facebook Group “Witches for Progessive Politics”

Because Salem 1692 will look tame if Project 2025 is implemented.

Calling all witches who support Kamala Harris! Let’s come together and manifest positive change and personal freedom–especially, in our case, spiritual freedom.

Member Request Questions

Here are the Membership Questions that I just created. Please make sure your answer is “yes” to these to ensure you’re a good fit for this group:

  • Are you a witch, pagan, or similar -or- an ally to the witch community at large?
  • Are you voting for Kamala Harris for President in 2024 (or support her if you are not an eligible US voter)?
  • Do you agree to the group rules?

Group Rules

  • Support for Harris & other Dems in 2024: The creation of this group was inspired by a post about the “Witches for Kamala” lawn flag as seen in this group’s cover photo, which was posted in the group “Cat Ladies for Kamala.” The focus of this group until the 2024 election will be to support Democrats, especially Kamala Harris for President. If you do not support Harris and other up-ticket Dems (US Senate, Congress, Governor), you should not join this group. After the 2024 Election, we can discuss 3rd party candidates.
  • Witches and Witchy Allies Are Welcome: If you identify as a Witch, Pagan, or anything along those lines, you are welcome to join this group. If you are an ally to people who identify as witches or similar, you are also welcome to join.
  • In addition to the standard rules of “no promotion or spam,” “respect everyone’s privacy,” “be kind and courteous,” and “no hate speech or bullying”

2024 Election Altar

I made an Election Altar with various crystals for the “Happy Warrior”

This is my 2024 Election Altar. In addition to this manifesting and meditating, I am also supporting candidates by donating and volunteering for their campaigns. It’s not one or the other. It’s both/and!

Ways you can help the Harris Walz Campaign


About My Election 2024 Altar

Candle Meditation

The candle wax is from some candle meditation I did in the early afternoon on July 21, because I’d heard rumors that Biden would be dropping out. After the candle was gone, I went online and saw the tweet from the President that he was no longer in the race and had endorsed Harris. I couldn’t believe it had happened while I was doing that candle meditation. Wild!

The plate is special, too. It belonged to my dear Great Aunt Betty. Were she alive today, she would be so thrilled about the chance to support such an amazing, intelligent, powerful woman for President.

Prints

The mailers and bumper sticker are for candidates I support in the 2024 election.

The Witches

The witch dolls are Camilla and Evangeline (hahaha, but seriously, those are their names). I got them from the CVS Halloween clearance last year, for $5 each. No, I do not ever chat with them like they’re real. What are you talking about? (Of course, I do.) BTW they are cousins and they love Kamala. They have offered to help the Harris Walz Campaign with some of their magick. (Goodness, I am a NERD! Har har har).

The Crystals

I purchased the crystals on a recent trip to Salem. I bought them at The Cauldron Black and Enchanted of Salem.

I bought them on August 18, the anniversary day of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which stated that women shall not be denied the right to vote on the basis of sex, so they’re extra charged based on date and location of purchase!

Protection Crystals

  • Yellow Obsidian: to draw out mental stress, block psychic attacks, and help keep balance
  • Purple Obsidian: trust gut feelings (as in, avoid sounding too politician-y!)
  • Strawberry Obsidian: protection from negative energy
  • Smoky Quartz: ease anxiety

Energizing Crystals

  • Green Aventurine: to ease mental and emotional trauma, dissolving negative thought and bringing calm (a combatant against MAGAism)
  • Red Aventurine: for creativity, vitality, and good luck
  • Labradorite: a stone for great magic and transformation

The Backdrop

The backdrop is a scarf with the climactic scene of Pride and Prejudice printed on it, when Darcy proposes to Elizabeth again, and she accepts. I’m praying, hoping, donating, and volunteering to help bring about a happy ending to this election.

Please to all the deities out there, listen to our petitions and grant us this Great Magic and Transformation we seek.

PS It is my Gramma Eileen’s NINETY-FIFTH birthday today. She was born in Salem. She loathes Grumpypants and loves Kamala.

Reproductive Rights and the 2024 Election

Vote for Kamala Harris and All Democrats Who Fight for Reproductive Freedom in the 2024 Election

Important links:

Reproductive Rights, Abortion Access, and the Presidential Election of 2024

Reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy is an essential part of my spiritual practice as a modern pagan witch. Reproductive freedom is also an essential right as asserted in Unitarian Universalism. Other religions and spiritual practices also stress this right.

Why some people’s religions get more say than others on this matter in our current laws, especially since the overturning of Roe v Wade, is a matter of, well, the fkn’ patriarchy.

Kamala Harris for President

The choice this election is clear: one side may be flawed and may have much room to improve. That is a given with any circumstance. The Democratic Party is not perfect. Kamala Harris is not perfect. But, as Obama has been known to say, “don’t let the perfect get in the way of the good.”

Because, much more significantly, the other party and the other candidate are an existential threat to freedom, including reproductive AND spiritual freedom. (More on spiritual freedom in another post, if I can get the time. But I must say, based on Project 2025, you know if *they* get their way, Salem 1692 will look tame compared to the persecution of people who don’t conform to a specific kind of extremist religious practice they hope to inflict.)

My activism for women and femme’s equality and equity is a core part of my spiritual practice. For this reason, and many more, I support the Harris-Walz campaign, and all Democrats who fight for reproductive freedom, for the 2024 election.

I hope you will, too.

Lughnasadh 2024

Happy Lughnasadh! I am celebrating by taking a trip with my Witches of Weymouth to Salem at the end of the month.

I’m also working on my “Liberty Spell” from now until about 5 days after Samhain AKA doing what I can to volunteer time for the Harris / Walz campaign.

If you’re interested in supporting the Kamala Harris Kamala HQ campaign, here’s some helpful links!

Kamala Harris for President

Witches have to support the Democratic nominee for President. Otherwise, Project 2025 will make Salem 1692 look mild.

Witches, modern pagans and other magickal practioners have a lot of reasons to vote for Kamala Harris for President. Donal Grump is dangerous for a lot reasons, reasons that have ramifications on what we as witches care about.

White Christian Nationalism Will Destroy Religious and Spiritual Freedom

Kat Abu’s video on white “christian” nationalism is thorough and terrifying. With so many witches, pagans and other magickal practioners still in the Broom Closet, if white “christian” nationalism gets even more power, the strides we’ve made to connect and communicate will be decimated.

Reproductive Freedom and Abortion Access

Harris will support and amendment protecting abortion access to reverse the Dobbs decision and restore Roe as the law of the land. Grump wants to institute a national abortion ban, with no exceptions.

Environment and Climate Crisis

As a modern pagan whose spirituality is very closely tied to the nature. Harris is the only viable candidate who actually takes climate change seriously and has policies to tackle the climate crisis.
