Wicca, Appropriation, and the WitchTok Backlash

What this episode covers

Wicca’s getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner’s colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We’ll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are ethical, respectful, and real.This isn’t about canceling Wicca it’s about unlearning the blind spots and reclaiming the parts of the tradition worth keeping. 🎧 Website: https://bustedbroom.com📸 Instagram & TikTok: @bustedbroomwisdom🧹 Facebook Group: Busted Broom & Broken Matches💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/UXUVNvtH5J📬 Email: [email protected]
