Prayer is Just Casting Spells: an Interview with Dr. Melissa Bird, Christian Witch

Witches and Christians haven’t always enjoyed one another’s company (see: all of church history, witch hunts, etc), but what if there’s more to it than ladies with ergot poisoning who may or may not have rode brooms around the house as a way to…pleasure…themselves…and a systematic femicide perpetuated by the patriarchy? When we met Dr. Melissa Bird and heard about her work as a Christian witch, we had to know more. Join your triumphant trio of 40-something moms to learn how there just might be room in the world to make space for all of who we are. Even if we’re charting new territory. In fact, it’s not really new at all - it’s just casting spells aka prayer and joining into the ongoing work of creation. Content heads up for this episode: prepare to hear the worst (or most epic) pickup line in the history of pickup hackery. Other than that, it’s rather shockingly trauma free for once.Awaken your own graceful revolution and connect with Dr. Bird drmelissabird.comFB, Twitter, TikTok, and IG @birdgirl1001A message for our listeners from Dr. Melissa Bird:For the last 3 months of 2022 I am offering a special 3 month coaching package. 7 1:1 coaching sessions, 1 misfit magic hour, 2 clairvoyant meditations. https://www.drmelissabird.com/coachingofferThrough the month of October I am offering a Misfit Magic Hour BOGO special buy one get the next 50% off. 2 1 hour readings!
