Trump Goes After Anonymous Email Provider in Italy. The Real Target Is Free Speech in the U.S.
Trump designated an Italian web-hosting provider as a foreign “terror” group. It could take #antifascist sites in the U.S. offline.
Matt Sledge
August 28 2026"In the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s war on the left, the U.S. government’s designation of a popular antifascist webhosting provider as a terror group could shutter a swath of radical websites in the U.S.
"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio and Treasury Secretary #ScottBessent announced Wednesday that they were targeting the Italy-based A/I Collective with terror sanctions. Federal law gives the Treasury Department broad discretion to apply the terror label to foreign groups.
"A wide array of #anarchist, antifascist, and #FarLeft groups in the U.S. and abroad use the privacy-minded collective’s offerings, including an anonymous email service and its popular noblogs.org blogging platform.
"The practice of designating an internet platform and service provider as a terror group — rather than those pursuing violence themselves — has 'huge' implications for the future free speech on the internet, warned Jillian York, the director of international freedom of expression at the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation.
" 'They are going after the messenger,' York said. 'I don’t think that the members of the group would necessarily condone the actions of the people that they hosted. What they do condone is the freedom to host, the ability to be anonymous, the ability to be private.'
"The A/I Collective told The Intercept that it is exploring its legal options to fight the sanctions, which block U.S. citizens and companies from providing the group with financial support.
"In an unsigned statement, the group said that it denies the U.S. government’s allegations.
" '#Antifascism and #anticapitalism are not #terrorism ,' the group said. '#Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for #humanity.' " [And #MotherEarth ! ]

The expected effect of the terrorist designation is the ostracism from all the actors that don't want to be associated with you anymore.
https://www.inventati.org/campaign/pressIt has started for me yesterday: as I was mentioning the event on different platforms, the moderators on one platform said: "don't mention your site again ( https://mangaispolitical.noblogs.org ), we don't want to have anything to do with terrorism. You will be banned at the next mention.".
A Chinese-type of internet is coming sooner than you think..

@crinstamcamp @springdiesel I want no #supremacy culture. Unfortunately, supremacy has captured parts of our culture and parts of its institutions, such as govt. An #Anarchist framework helps me see the oppressive patterns. It also helps me envision culture and institutions that advance liberty, justice , joy, and flourishing, for all. I would like to use every personal, cultural, and institutional strategy to help make a better world.

The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an #Anarchist #Zine
#DanielSanchez is facing federal charges for what #FreeSpeech advocates say is a clear attack on the #FirstAmendment.
by Seth Stern, November 23 2025
Excerpt: "Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment in response to a July 4 noise demonstration outside the #PrairielandICE #DetentionFacility in #AlvaradoTX, during which a police officer was shot.
"There are numerous problems with the indictment, but perhaps the most glaring is its inclusion of charges against a Dallas #artist who wasn’t even at the protest. Daniel 'Des' Sanchez is accused of transporting a box that contained '#Antifa materials' after the incident, supposedly to conceal evidence against his wife, Maricela Rueda, who was there.
"But the boxed materials aren’t Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, or whatever #MAGA officials claim 'Antifa' uses to wage its imaginary war on America. As prosecutors laid out in the July criminal complaint that led to the indictment, they were zines and pamphlets. Some contain controversial ideas — one was titled '#InsurrectionaryAnarchy' — but they’re fully constitutionally protected free speech. The case demonstrates the administration’s intensifying efforts to criminalize left-wing #activists after Donald Trump announced in September that he was designating 'Antifa' as a 'major terrorist organization' — a legal designation that doesn’t exist for domestic groups — following the killing of Charlie Kirk.
"Sanchez was first indicted in October on charges of 'corruptly concealing a document or record' as a standalone case, but the new indictment merges his charges with those against the other defendants, likely in hopes of burying the First Amendment problems with the case against him under prosecutors’ claims about the alleged shooting.
"It’s an escalation of a familiar tactic. In 2023, Georgia prosecutors listed #ZineDistribution as part of the #conspiracy charges against 61 #StopCopCity protesters in a sprawling #RICO indictment that didn’t bother to explain how each individual defendant was involved in any actual crime. I wrote back then about my concern that this wasn’t just sloppy overreach, but also a blueprint for censorship. Those fears have now been validated by Sanchez’s prosecution solely for possessing similar literature."

Die Entscheidung, nicht zu sterben: Ein Ritual für Michael Kimble oder: Ich war letzten Freitag auf einer coolen Show
Vielleicht schreibe ich später mehr über die aktuellen Anti-#ICE-Proteste. Im Moment habe ich dazu nicht viel zu sagen, außer dass sie die volle Unterstützung aller verdienen und dass wir unsere Unterstützung nicht von Protesten oder Demonstranten abziehen sollten, nur weil sie laut (oder ruhig) sind. Und dass die Peace Police in Salt Lake City letzten Samstag bei einer #50501-Demonstration einen Demonstranten ermordet hat, aber ein antirassistischer Aktivist, der von denselben Leuten angeschossen wurde, nun dafür angeklagt wird. Die #Presse versucht hartnäckig, die Geschichte zu verbreiten, dass Arturo #Gamboa ein Gewehr auf die Menge gerichtet habe, bevor er und ein Passant erschossen wurden. Es gibt jedoch eindeutige Videoaufnahmen, die das Gegenteil beweisen. Hier ist ein Artikel über die Situation.Die Entscheidung, nicht zu sterben: Ein Ritual für Michael Kimble
„Niemand soll vergessen werden. Niemand soll sich allein fühlen. Unser heiligstes Gesetz das einzige Gesetz, das wir nicht brechen – ist #Solidarität. Ohne sie sind wir verstreute Glut. Zusammen sind wir das Feuer, das sie niemals löschen können.”
Dominic Black, „11. Juni: Niemals vergessen”Letzten Freitag war ich bei einer Benefizveranstaltung im The Rhizome House, einem Sozialzentrum in Cleveland. Es war eine Benefizveranstaltung für einen Gefangenen namens Michael Kimble. Michael Kimble sitzt lebenslänglich im Gefängnis, weil er sich entschieden hat, nicht zu sterben.
1986 ging der schwarze, schwule Michael Kimble in #Alabama mit einem anderen Mann Arm in Arm spazieren. Ein weißer Mann, ein bekannter weißer Rassist, begann, die beiden zu beschimpfen. Michael schrie zurück. Der Mann griff an. Michael entschied sich, nicht zu sterben. Er zog eine Waffe und erschoss den gewalttätigen Fanatiker. Er sitzt nun seit fast 40 Jahren im #Gefängnis und bereut nichts. Im Gefängnis wurde er politisiert, ursprünglich zum #Kommunismus, aber er lehnte die autoritäre Struktur dieser Bewegung ab und ist seit Jahren als #Anarchist aktiv, der #Gefangene organisiert.
#Gefängnisse existieren, um Menschen verschwinden zu lassen. Gefängnisse existieren, um uns vergessen zu lassen, dass Menschen jemals geboren wurden, dass sie jemals frei waren. Menschen einzusperren, oft für ihr ganzes Leben, ist so ziemlich das Unmenschlichste, was man sich vorstellen kann. Deshalb müssen wir daran arbeiten, uns an Menschen zu erinnern. Wir müssen uns daran erinnern, dass Michael Kimble lebt, dass er beschlossen hat, nicht zu sterben.
Vielleicht war die #Benefizveranstaltung also ein Ritual gegen das Vergessen. Vielleicht war jeder Song einem Mann gewidmet, der sie nicht hören kann. Vielleicht haben wir in seinem Namen getanzt. Vielleicht trägt jedes Mal, wenn sein Name hier oder anderswo geschrieben wird, dazu bei, die Auslöschung seiner Erinnerung, die der Staat wünscht, rückgängig zu machen.

Heute in der Geschichte der #Arbeiterbewegung: 18. Mai 1814: Der russische #Anarchist und Philosoph Michail #Bakunin wurde geboren. In #Paris lernte er in den 1840er Jahren #Marx und #Proudhon kennen, die ihn früh beeinflussten. Später wurde er wegen seiner Ablehnung der russischen Besetzung #Polens aus #Frankreich ausgewiesen. 1849 wurde er in #Dresden wegen seiner Beteiligung am #Prager #Aufstand von 1848 verhaftet. Die Behörden schickten ihn zurück nach #Russland, wo er inhaftiert und 1857 nach #Sibirien verbannt wurde. Er konnte aber über #Japan fliehen und floh in die USA und dann nach #England.
1868 trat er der Internationalen #Arbeiterassoziation bei und wurde Anführer der schnell wachsenden anarchistischen Fraktion. Er setzte sich für #Föderationen selbstverwalteter Fabriken und Kommunen als Ersatz für den #Staat ein. Dies stand im Gegensatz zu Marx, der dafür eintrat, dass der Staat zur Verwirklichung des #Sozialismus beitragen sollte. 1872 wurde Bakunin aus der #Internationale ausgeschlossen. Bakunin hatte Einfluss auf die #IWW, Noam #Chomsky, Peter #Kropotkin, Herbert #Marcuse, Emma #Goldman und die spanische #CNT und #FAI.

Zur #BTW25:
Als #Anarchist gehe ich seit Jahrzehnten wählen - aus rein taktischen Gründen, stets auf der Suche nach dem #kleinstenÜbel, was auf einen Vergleich von Übelkeiten hinausläuft.
Die GRÜNEN haben bei mir spätestens seit dem #KosovoKrieg völlig verschissen und sind seitdem noch weiter rechts abgedriftet.
Die Partei Die Linke ist - wie alle anderen relevanten Parteien - ebenfalls #autoritar und ich möchte die keinesfalls "an der Macht" erleben. Sie stellen aktuell jenes kleinstes Übel dar. Sie sollten sich aber auf meine Stimme (und vermutlich viele ähnliche) bloss nichts einbilden...
Letztendlich gilt aber "Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen können wir nur selber tun!", d.h. eine #graswurzelbewegung von vernetzten Bezugsgruppen aufbauen, selber die Dinge #autonom in die Hand nehmen, nichts mehr an "Repräsentanten" delegieren, die über kurz oder lang doch nur wieder der zur dunklen Seite, zur Macht überlaufen.
Die Herausforderung liegt darin, aus unseren Fehlern der Vergangenheit, insbesondere in punkto #Kommunikation untereinander, zu lernen und neue Formen der #GfK zu erarbeiten und zu verbreiten.

You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I come across yet another pseudo-mystical cipher that’s essentially just a doodle from someone’s psychedelic drug trip, or another set of sigils lazily thrown together using Austin Spare’s substitution method and embellished with Theban or Malachim script within a basic geometric shape, on a page with bones and skeletons, I swear I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.
It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.
These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I see another faux magic cipher that feels like a cipher but is really someone who got high during a ritual and just sketched out their trip, magical sigils created through Austin Spare’s substitution technique inside a circle with Theban or the Malachim language around that circle or any other basic ass geometric shape on a page with bones and skeletons, I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.
It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.

I think occult models, patterns, and schemas are dangerous and pathological; however, that doesn’t mean I think magic is the same. I’m a sorcerer who practices magic, but I am convinced that occultism is poison. I am psychic and interact with magical forces on a psychic level. This means that my mind is in contact with the energy of the collective experiences correlated with magical systems. To create a barrier between my consciousness, the edge of my consciousness, and the insanity, I create elaborate systems of abstractions.
Besides that, occult systems have been poisoned on a cultural and psychic level. For Wheel of Time readers, it’s equivalent to the poisoning of the Saidin half of the One Power. Luckily, occult systems are more like a contrived psychic construct, loosely associated with culture and resonating with experience. Any sorcerer can isolate themselves from that poison by using a different system of cultural patterns, allegories, and drawing from a different set of experiences.
Furthermore, every still practicing occultist I know from my cohort has become insane and spiraled off into dark web conspiracy esoteric orders. I really do mean the dark web. Currently, I’m working on abstracting and extracting elements of magic from the occult prototypes and patterns. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram between toxic nerds, incels, and problematic occult memes, patterns, and images is a circle. Popular art has been just as poisoned, so I will need to create this from scratch. However, I need to make it abstract enough to resonate with other people’s experiences on a psychic level so I can draw and amplify psychic energy.
Moreover, I believe drinking from a poisoned well of power is pushing magicians over the edge. Almost every schizophrenic woman who forms a parasocial relationship with me, cis-gendered or trans, is associated with Babalon explicitly. They explicitly integrate their ritualistic practices with 156. Doing some research, I’ve noticed that this association between schizophrenic women and Babalon goes all the way back to the 1970s and 1980s. There is an associative correlation between Babalon and schizophrenic women that decide to engage in magic dealing with them. There are systems that my mind flags as dangerous. It outlines them in red, causing me not to seek out detailed knowledge of them, so my knowledge of Babalon is limited. My mind has explicitly outlined her with red and put up wards. Someone in my psionic cohort is getting drawn down rabbit holes via that particular deity, albeit I believe it is the culture and them being terminally online that is responsible and not some supernatural force. They really should be seeking out psychiatric help. I am not calling anyone out; instead, I am seeing a pattern of schizophrenic women from different cohorts – cis and trans – drawn to Babalon, so there is some association between that deity and schizophrenic women, whether paranormal or purely psychological and psychiatric.
Furthermore, my mental wards are not intended to prevent external entities from doing something; instead, they prevent me from doing things. If I get a flash of prescience that says there is danger ahead of me and I am walking, it will be harder and harder for me to continue physically walking until I just stop walking. I have to turn around because my subconscious mind has placed a block on that decision. I don’t know why, but my body won’t allow me forward. I go home and then find out if I kept walking I would have walked into a shootout. I have an intuitive sense of what is a bad rabbit hole to go down or how deeply I can descend without losing my way. Adopting the jargon of chaotes who like SCP, I have a cognitohazard sensor built into my subconscious mind that makes itself known implicitly through my gut. Seeing the shit show that is Thelema, I am glad I did not jump on that wagon when my cohort did. When I say my cohort, I am specifically referring to millennials that were involved in paranormal, energy working forums, and IRC servers in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Additionally, as a teen, I never researched The runes of the Elder Futhark because my mind intuitively labeled many pagan ideologies as red and made me feel uncomfortable about much of the stuff I was reading. Over a decade later, I see the relationships many of those magical groups have to white supremacy, Nazis, etc. I think the nature of the culture and how they enable mental illness is to blame. My husband trusts me when I tell him I get a bad feeling about social influencers because, lo and behold, it comes out they did something awful.
Moreover, I have an odd relationship with reality. Anyone who knows me knows that I am highly skeptical and constantly lecturing about not losing touch with reality. I emphasize using an empirical perspective, but I love mathematics. Math has an odd relationship with reality. It is more abstract than reality and doesn’t necessarily describe reality; rather, it describes the inferences and consequences of rules, like a game. Math is less a description of reality and more like a game and story that writes itself. We also cannot empirically observe the number 1. 1 and I are symbols that point to the concept of 1, and Algebra is the manipulation of symbols per rules and relationships. A professor I had in college drove that lesson home. He made sure that we understood that mathematics is the manipulation of symbols and concepts, and that algebraic relationships are nothing more than rules that entities must obey. Math is a symbolic language whose purpose is to describe things in such a way that the ambiguity of everyday language is removed. Symbolically, numbers and magical sigils are both ideograms, so both mathematical symbols and sigils denote the same type of symbol. There’s a tautological relationship between a conceptual and ideal realm of Math and reality that humans know of via intuition. A video that goes into that is:
I am not saying occultism is based on Mathematics because often Mathematical proofs of occult systems wind up false somewhere. I am stating that Mathematics shows an epistemological and ontological link between the Ideal, the Mental, and what we think of as Reality. The existence of Logic and Mathematics creates a paradox when discussing that in conjunction with Empiricism, ironically. Mathematics provides me with a logical basis for magical thought.
To be precise, I normally define divination and sorcery as inverses of each other. The etymology of the word sorcery is one who shifts fate, essentially.
sorcery (n.)
c. 1300, sorcerie, “witchcraft, magic, enchantment; act or instance of sorcery; supernatural state of affairs; seemingly magical works,” from Old French sorcerie, from sorcier “sorcerer, wizard,” from Medieval Latin sortiarius “teller of fortunes by lot; sorcerer,” literally “one who influences fate or fortune,” from Latin sors (genitive sortis) “lot, fate, fortune” (see sort (n.)).
also from c. 1300Sorcery is a magical art of shifting futures. Divination, on the other hand, is the art of the prediction of futures. For example, a sorcerer would use tarot cards to create a particular future, whereas a diviner would use tarot cards to predict a future. Sorcery has an odd connection to reality. Sorcery is not descriptive like scientific languages that are meant to describe measurements precisely and predict things. Sorcery is an art where a magician intends to influence outcomes where there is a deviation between what the magician causes and what we expect. That difference, because of the deviation, is a gradient of energy. Magical systems are expressions of how things will be, not how they are, so there is a disjointed relationship with reality. When a person casts a spell or shifts a probabilistic and entropic system, even if we are just talking about the entropy of coins or cards to encode information, that person is breaking the unitary symmetry of reality and creating a structure or pattern that aligns with what they have willed to have happened. Fictional narratives are speculative or counter-factual, and in breaking the unitary system of a system, a magician realizes probabilistic subjunctive conditionals.
Furthermore, that creates a paradox because I am quick to criticize magicians for losing contact with reality when they become delusional and believe their hallucinations are real. On the other hand, I tacitly acknowledge that fictions and delusions can become real. Why does it become real for some and not others? Power. Energy. A property that passes from one system to another system that causes a change, i.e., a difference is conventionally referred to via an abstraction we call energy. The ability to get something to change as a consequence of you is power. So, the degree that a magician can do this is relative to energy and power, and we can empirically measure that change because there are physical anomalies because of the symmetry breaking.
Thankfully, mental illness is epistatic to psychic and magical ability. It is like inheriting red hair from your father and a gene for baldness. While your hair is red, no one will see it because you have no hair. Schizophrenia masks and mitigates psychic and magical power by introducing noise, disorder, and entropy. As a result, individuals with schizophrenia lack the ability to manifest their delusions and hallucinations because they struggle to organize and concentrate enough energy. Energy dissipation is correlated with disorder, causing a schizophrenic’s psychic energy to dissipate faster than they can effectively utilize it, making it too diffuse to realize a reality-warping event. Every once in a while, they are lucid; however, they are frequently too insane to be reliable. Psychotropic medications have no negative effect on psychic ability, so the best thing a schizophrenic person can do to improve their magic is to get on antipsychotic medication.
Moreover, potential energy can be thought of as the energy of configuration. It is the energy an entity has from its relationship to other things, internal or external. For example, mass is energy that matter is and has that emerges from its internal configuration of gluons. The configuration of gluons gives rise to hadrons like protons. Heat, in the form of enthalpy, relates to internal configurations of matter. In this context, the potential energy of the system comes from how a culture patterns and stores the experiences of its members.
Since I am discussing potential energy within the context of a psychic network, I should provide a more precise definition of energy. We can think of people’s minds and attributes of their minds as nodes connected to their own mind and the minds of others, and an adjacency matrix would be a matrix that represents the connections among nodes and the connections themselves as edges, where the edges have a weight. The energy of this system would be the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. That is pretty abstract. An eigenvalue is just a factor by which something is stretched or compressed, so the energy of the network is a sum of how we can scale something. We can think of it as springs. The higher the value, the more you can stretch out the spring where the energy of that spring is the extent to which you can stretch it or compress. So, in this, we can think of the connections as standing waves, and eigenvalues are how far you can compress or stretch those waves that connect people psychically. That means people are oscillating or vibrating. Algebraically, that would also be what we would call a characteristic polynomial.
While we can think of these connections as lines, it’s more accurate to think of them as vibrating, pulsing waves where the energy of the system relates to the eigenvalues. This, of course, means we can model these psychic networks using partial differential equations and wave equations. The analog to the temporal components would be orientations and integrals of experience. Angry people, for example, are vibrating at the frequency of anger, so their energy is characterized by anger. Consequently, they can antagonize others because of their anger and, in turn, provoke similar emotions in others. It seems that many occultists vibrate at literally insane frequencies, thereby spreading a wave of insanity. A wave is a propagation of an oscillation that pushes something out of equilibrium. Occult psychic networks, that occultists are connected to by communities and cultures, emanate waves of insanity that spread memetically or through psychic contact like a contagion.
I don’t think the members of occult cults are actively using the antisocial and insane energy they are storing; instead, I think it is a consequence of cultural and psychosocial factors. I think they become magically realized as an analog to kinetic energy when a psychic magician interacts with that system. The psychic ability of the magician acts as a catalyst; however, since intentionality is the magician’s mind using itself to create a representation of that system, it instantiates a type of image or representation. Since the potential energy comes from, well, insanity, there is an entropic and chaotic backlash on the magician that warps their mind. I think the insanity within occult cults and cultures manifests physically through how they socially interact with each other and their physical behaviors.
In addition, one of the reasons why people have a hard time realizing that I am a sorcerer is that, well, I am normal looking. When people read this without seeing a picture of me, their mind conjures up all sorts of odd ideas of what I must be like. A married, queer, suburban black person living in Atlanta is usually not what they think of so much so that many schizophrenic people have created these odd delusional narratives about me. I am that person next door who wears business casual clothing most of the time or basic jeans and a tank top. I don’t wear occult symbols, and I am not edgy. I don’t give off a witchy vibe. I like that suburban person next door vibe, so I am rejecting the image of the sorcerer that wears cloaks, robes, etc.
Furthermore, I think I am going to base magical patterns and templates that I create on how I intuitively recognize magic. If I am watching a film or reading a book, does this feel magical? The first step is to drop the lexicon, which is why I am not using occult terms.
Many people ask if I have such a bad attitude about occultism, why am I involved in it. The short answer is my mom’s a witch, albeit a cunning woman would be a more apt description of her, that lived in denial of her magic and that cost her her sanity and her relationship with her child – me. My maternal great-grandfather, my mother’s grandfather, is white and Irish. Specifically, we are descended from Irish Travelers. That’s where the psychic abilities I inherited from my maternal side come from, albeit I am culturally black. The past is the past and skeletons should be left buried, so I am in no hurry to look into that side of me. I am multiracial and multicultural; however, I choose to identify as a black person with one reason being that is how society treats me. The archetype of the witch is not a specific cultural instance; instead, it is more of a broad anthropological classification. The south is filled with many black witches who don’t even know they are witches. My marriage to an animistic indigenous man and where our cultures intersect make me question the separation between shaman, wizard, and witch, but that touches on intimate topics.
To me, magic is a transformative act that illuminates things. Beyond the influence, it reveals things about our society in the very aesthetic elements of the artistic medium itself. I think magicians need to move past occult systems. They’re poisonous.
