What is the relationship between witchcraft and anarcho-communism? What is “somatic abolitionism” and how can magic help us embody it? How do oppressive systems actually work, and by what means can they be uprooted?
The social, political, and spiritual questions that we are struggling with today have been asked before, and their answers are deeply intertwined with the historical and present day practice of witchcraft. Looking ahead to an uncertain future, we must call on tools to help us imagine a world that has never existed. This class will explore the epistemology of justice and the law, the praxis of spiritual self-governance, and what resilience skills are necessary for sustained political/magical action. Students will be invited into a radical reimagining of power, personhood, and the unimaginable potency of intuition.
