History
**Missing Witches**

Missing Witches is created by Amy Torok and Risa Dickens: old hag solitary witch best friends living, writing, and recording out in the woods on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory, in Quebec, Canada. Missing Witches is an art and activism project and a public research project. We come from a place of longing and of curiosity. We want to learn from artists, poets, academics, activists and magical practitioners who are conjuring better possible worlds.

MW+: W.I.T.C.H - We Are The Power Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

In the first episode of season 7 of the Missing Witches podcast, Amy tells the story of W.I.T.C.H. Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell - a group that sprung up from the Women's Liberation movement in 1968 New York, on Halloween, to hex sexism, capitalism and racism. A group who's legacy is still visible today. Then Risa joins in to chat about the bizarre and the holy, the infinite modes of taking action, hiding in plain sight, and together we dance in the notion of being our own ancestors. Delight and liberation for all. Missing Witches is a feminist history of magic podcast exploring the meeting place of spirituality, activism, and art practice.
