The_Spiral_Pentacle_by_SingingGandalfAwakening the Horse People invites ongoing submissions on the topic of decolonizing witchcraft, wicca, heathenry, and eclectic paganism.

We would like to particularly invite self-identified witches and those who identify as practicing pagan witchcraft to share your thoughts on the role decolonization plays in these practices.

Some questions for consideration are:

  • Are pagan witchcraft, wicca, heathenry, or eclectic neo-pagan beliefs consistent with movements of decolonization?
  • How are modern witchcraft practices related to authentic reconstruction of ancestral lifeways?
  • How are issues of cultural appropriation, spiritual materialism, and objectification of fantasy (fluffy) stereotypes reconciled within groups of practicing pagans?
  • How can the practices and gatherings of pagan witches, heathens, wicca, and other neo-pagan movements in colonized lands become safer and more respectful of Indigenous people and communities?

Please limit submissions to 1000 words or less. Send submissions to connect@awakeningthehorsepeople.org.   Selected works will be published on Awakening the Horse People blog.  Many thanks.
