A lemmy.world alternative to the popular subreddit. WitchesVSPatriarchy is a space aimed at providing support and uplifting content centered around women and women's issues.
"The goal is to at once embrace, and poke fun at, the mystical aspects of femininity that have been previously demonized and/or devalued by the patriarchy." - r/witchesvspatriarchy
As witches, we're all navigating this wizard dominated world together. Let's help each other out with humour, supportive messages, advice, and everything in-between.
This is a safe place for women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC. TERFs are not welcome. We love and support our trans witches.

As a refugee of Reddit, I am happy to see some of my favorite communities coming over as well, including some of the pagan ones that first brought me to this community on Reddit. So greetings from you Norse pagan alley. Down with the patriarchy!
