Missing Witches

Missing Witches is created by Amy Torok and Risa Dickens: old hag solitary witch best friends living, writing, and recording out in the woods on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory, in Quebec, Canada. Missing Witches is an art and activism project and a public research project. We come from a place of longing and of curiosity. We want to learn from artists, poets, academics, activists and magical practitioners who are conjuring better possible worlds.

MW Gaura Devi: This Forest Is Our Mother's Home. We Run Our Lives Through This. 25.10.2020

This is a story about hugging trees. About the women who inspired the iconic environmental Chipko movement in India, which literally means to hug, and it’s a story about the Bishnoi faith and the women leaders from that small spiritual minority in the Himalayan foothills, the ones who triumphed, and the ones who were murdered protecting the ancient trees that hold back the all-consuming desert and...

MW Margaret Murray: What Science Calls Nature and Religion Calls God 18.10.2020

An archeologist before there were any.  The point of origin for the idea that witches gather in covens. The mother of all subsequent covens, in a way. The first woman to unwrap a mummy. Author of ''The Witch-Cult in Western Europe''. Criticized for her cognitive leaps, discredited for the way she pieced through sources choosing what resonated, and for the way that, over time, the ellipses in some...

MW Buffy Sainte Marie: This Is My Path. Discover Your Own. 11.10.2020

Most of our Missing Witches episodes are inspired by words - books, articles, poems, spells, but the idea for today’s offering came from my record collection. We say Words are Spells a lot around here, but so too are notes, tones, music, vibrations, vibrato. Buffy Sainte Marie is another magical being who doesn’t show her witchiness through occult study, cauldrons, crystals or tarot cards, but rat...

MW Harriet Tubman: Reach For The Stars To Change The World 04.10.2020

Today’s episode is unlike most because you’ve almost 100% heard of our featured witch. But the Missing part of Missing Witches comes in many forms.

MW Dihya al Kahina: A Free and Noble Witch 27.09.2020

Story behind the image:   "During a visit to the Kabyle region in 2006, I photographed graffiti painted on a town’s whitewashed walls that featured various historical figures adopted by the Amazigh movement. Busts of three figures done by an unidentified graffiti artist included a woman on the left of a geometric design and two men on its right. Underneath each bust was a name written in Tifinagh,...

Imbolc Special 2020! Decolonizing Love with Chelsea A. Hamlet 01.02.2020

When this theme of Decolonizing Love occurred to me for this episode, the first person I thought of was writer, Erotic Blueprint coach and self-described baby Orisha devotee Chelsea A. Hamlet, on whose blog I’d been reading such titles as “This is how I wish my partners responded when I told them they gave me an STI” and “What About Your Friends with Herpes?” elsewhere her essays about kink like “...
