It’s that time of year…when the granddaughters, and great-granddaughters of the Witches they couldn’t kill, celebrate what they are, and they REMEMBER!

witches
don’t disappear
after Halloween
we’re always here
in spite of the fact
that men tried their hardest
to wipe us out
witches
are healers
spirit guides
counselors
guardians
and
seers
witches are everything
and with our sisters
we celebrate Yule
a holiday
stolen from us
by men
whose hatred
has never weakened
and continues
to this very day
but the light is coming
it can’t be stopped
and believe me when I say
neither can we

you think we don’t exist
but we are everywhere
we teach your children
cure your dis-ease
we grow your food
and write the books you read
we lecture
and run the businesses
you support
we keep you safe
in a world of violence
that never ends
we are the children
of those they never
burned
and we are everywhere

We no longer dress in costume
we blend in nowadays
we look like everyone else
but witches we are
and witches will will always be
handed down from generation
to generation
we are everywhere
and we will never forget
what you did
never
every time
I see a beautiful picture
like this one
I hear women
screaming
as they are burned
for being
witches
by white men
who
simply wanted
their possessions
if you’re very quiet
and pay attention
maybe you can hear
them too
they’re still
screaming
