i keep seeing this on my timeline, so let me be clear
judaism is semi-closed. practices related to judaism require a barrier for entry. judaism is an indigenous religion and reserve the right to protect their cultural practices.
lilith is not open. kabbalah is not open. jewish mystism is not open.
there are ways to learn about these things and get involved in a community that do not involve stealing from indigenous cultures. in fact, you are less of a witch if your craft is stealing from closed and marginalized communities.
jewish people deserve to feel safe and to be welcomed with open arms into the witchcraft and practitioner community

It's a good day to put on my black pointy hat and say to myself: I'm still a witch, even though I've had to put my practice on hold because I've been ill. The gods, spirits, guides, ancestors, and divine beings, they all want me to put myself first and take the best care of myself. They'll always be here for me, I just need to focus on getting better.
i stand 5'8" tall, and my hair (when down and straight) reaches past the back of my knees. each day of my life, i carry several lifetimes worth of my own memories and experiences, all directly attached to my skull.
my beautiful black hair is an extension of my nervous system and divine intuition. it is my crown, my horns, and my wings. it acts as a spider's web, catching and transmuting all energy that seeks me out. it is my most sacred attribute given to me by the gods, and i am both eternally grateful and fiercely protective of it.
my hair is my own personal symbol of growth, power, wisdom, and feminine prowess. my braids, jewels, and adornments keep me guarded and defended from all malicious entities and foul intent.
as someone who’s indigenous and is also engaged with the practice of witchcraft, I literally do not care about what white people, or any non-indigenous person, dare I go far by saying any indigenous person who is not from my culture, telling me I cannot venerate my spirits (cemi’no) and work with them.
I have done my research, in contact with several taino practitioners, and I am engaged with my ancestors. I don’t need any doubts trying to destroy me and my practice
Pagans in North America should learn about the peoples who land they're on and the spirits of the land they live on. and the fact so many don't yet still claim to respect the earth makes think there are no real pagans here.
I'm not saying you have to worship the spirits of Turtle island, but you should respect them, the land, and respect the people who've had their practice banned, the people who fought to keep their practice alive, the people who's practice and wisdom you now use for your practice.

It seems finally the community feature is available to me ! I've been thinking about what kind of community I could make here, to have a space to discuss and share together, and I've come up with something ... would you all be interested in participating a community called Decolonizing Witchcraft ?
It'd be a space to exchange ideas that lead to decolonizing our ancestral practices (unlearning sexist, capitalist, racist systems and other systems of oppression) and through that, taking back control of our traditions, beliefs and practices. Decentering these systems and centering our own ancestral ways. A space to share our experiences in the path of healing colonial wounds and in the path of reclamation.
Not just for Indigenous and Native American folk, for any practitioner of traditional religions and folk magic ! White people need decolonizing as much as anyone else. I'd even say it's a responsibility for white people to unlearn harmful beliefs and decolonize white spaces but we can have that discussion there aswell !
I grew up within an eclectic religious environment that influences the way that I interpret my own spirituality. On one side, my family is Jewish (Romani/Italian) and Protestant (Scottish), on the other side, my family is Indigenous (Mi'kmaq) and Catholic (Acadian). My mother identifies as a Wiccan, and much of what I now do was learned from her, but my practice draws on less defined boundaries and is not affiliated directly with just one influence in my life. I am experienced in spirit work, and have a close connection with the dead whom I call upon to support and assist me in my practice.
