You can hear more from my conversation with Maya Amatvult of @critwitches.bsky.social on “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking Podcast for Witches” wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find a text version (and link to the transcription) on my substack: open.substack.com/pub/daylinam...
A teal to green ombré background with a quote from Maya Amatvult. It reads: “I really do believe it’s a witch’s prerogative to be part of the debunking of misinformation, to be part of naming the game that’s being caused by misinformation, by cruelties, even intentional cruelties, and intentional ones. It is part of a witch’s relationship to the world around them, to step in and say something for all of these things, but it is hard, and it’s a skill like any other skill that can be built up and needs to be practiced.” On the bottom left is the logo, a black witch hat with a press pass tucked into the brim. And it white text it says “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking podcast for Witches.”

In some ways, it hasn’t been easy coming out of the broom closet. The mundane community thinks you’re crazy, and the magical community tends to sneer at folks who practice with healthy skepticism. But I really hope my new podcast helps folks vet info bc misinformation is rampant in the community.

They have short blue hair and glasses and are wearing a black shirt that says “future ghost.” They’re outside their house because the lighting is much better.

I am not trying to defend the Catholic church’s exploits, but pushing a false narrative of a pagan genocide on St Patrick’s Day does the community no favours either. Instead, we could focus our effort on the current genocides going on around the world.

Witchcraft rooted in love shouldn’t mean silencing the oppressed. It should mean amplifying their voices, standing beside them, and challenging the systems that harm them. Anything else is just privilege in a cloak. Don’t expect us to play nice. #noteverywitch #witchcraftsky #witchesfightback
