111. Ysha ~ Activist Witchcraft & the Fight for Collective Liberation

from Modern Witches✨ · host Modern Witches

For Ysha, Activist Witch, witchcraft is a deeply political practice. Our conversation explores the radical roots of witchcraft, and our marginalized history of prosecution and resistance. Ysha has a deeply inquisitive nature and a sincere desire to make political witchcraft accessible for people curious about the craft. Please learn more about their important work Witches for Palestine, which fundraises for the mutual aid project: Cwitches for Gaza (linked below.) Listen in for insights into spiritual activism, the importance of articulating our politics, and how capitalism co-opts and corrupts witchcraft - and how we can push back. BIO: Ysha (she/they) is a Fat Queer Non-binary Autistic Immigrant Witch of Colour of Egyptian heritage, raised in Italy and now living in South Wales, UK. They have been making content at the intersection of Witchcraft and Activism since 2022 on YouTube as Activist Witch.
