Beltane 2026: Midwives To New Worlds - MWRF 2026 Part 1

What this episode covers

It's Beltane! It's May Day!! It’s the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice! It's a day of solidarity! It's the official kick off date for the annual Missing Witches Reparations fundraiser!! Every year we at Missing Witches, and our coven, and extended Witch community spend the month of May joyfully raising money for Indigenous support orgs (especially the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal!) and gathering together with magical friends to spotlight Indigenous voices through conversations about Indigenous Futures. Today we're joined by Amanda Amour Lynx, Granddaughter Crow, Christopher Marmolejo and Patty Krawec to talk about our imaginative fantasies as tools of hope, the worm, our stories as umbilical cords, the gardener as futurist, and community as remedy to the weight of survival mode. What revolution are you funding? Patty encourages listeners to join the fundraiser by donating to PAYYOURRENT.CA - collecting funds from people living on stolen land and disbursing them to Indigenous people. Amanda suggests donating to the Sierra Club - Protect the Lakes From a Devastating Oil Spill and Support Anishinabe Nations. As always, GDC recommends discovering and getting involved in your local community. Christopher suggests donating to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. Here's a quick rundown of how our fundraiser works: Make a donation of $10 or more to your local Native Women’s Shelter or Indigenous Led Support Org or DONATE to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal. Take a screen shot of your receipt and email it to [email protected] with the subject line: REPARATION Be entered to win one of more than twenty-five fabulous prizes (more than $6000 in prizes available to be won - full 2026 list HERE) donated by luminaries of the Witch community.
