MW Dihya al Kahina: A Free and Noble Witch

Story behind the image: "During a visit to the Kabyle region in 2006, I photographed graffiti painted on a town’s whitewashed walls that featured various historical figures adopted by the Amazigh movement. Busts of three figures done by an unidentified graffiti artist included a woman on the left of a geometric design and two men on its right. Underneath each bust was a name written in Tifinagh, an ancient Berber script dating back to the fourth century BCE that was used to write administrative texts and funerary inscriptions across northern Africa prior to use of Arabic. Amazigh activists use individual Tifinagh letters as identity markers, writing slogans on public spaces, and, in this case, a graffiti artist wrote the word “Dihya” underneath this female figure referring to the Kahina’s actual name." Cynthia Beckerhttps://mizanproject.org/the-kahina-the-female-face-of-berber-history/https://www.jstor.org/stable/1595873?casa_token=X3UeRAwCHOkAAAAA%3ABghUhzzsr9e8cri0Lmr0J4--x2BmuuiQtKSTFHUsCCM9r1py_g8QlnkYY2DNqVjznKjFPiDeAboWCUpeZsQ7op0VxLJbftbZIIJJ3A0zcTnaSWXwDvuhbg&seq=4#metadata_info_tab_contentshttps://intercontinentalcry.org/free-people-the-imazighen-of-north-africa/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Berber_religionhttps://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/12088/LewisKahkatYac.pdf?sequence=1https://www.ancient.eu/Kahina/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Berber_religionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berbershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihyahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa_during_Antiquityhttps://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/kahina-r-695-703-cehttps://www.blackhistorybuff.com/blogs/the-black-history-buff-blog/the-kahina-queen-of-the-berbers-ruled-688-705-adhttps://www.arabamerica.com/an-early-feminist-al-kahina-7th-century-north-african-queen-fact-or-fancy/https://www.audubon.org/news/are-these-birds-better-computers-predicting-hurricane-seasons The Missing Witches coven is trans-inclusive, anti-racist, feminist, pro-science, anti-ableist, and full of AWE and LOVE.If that sounds like your people, come find out more. https://www.missingwitches.com/join-the-coven/
