It’s brutally obvious how much the "new age" has engaged in an extractive and often appropriative relationship with Indigenous knowledge and people. As part of the work of reparations, each year, they pay forward all of their May community earnings to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal AND organize a community Reparations fundraiser. We would love your help, whether it’s donating, signal boosting or joining their squad. Find out more at MissingWitches.com/Reparations The Missing Witches Team would like to thank you for your support in sharing our work. We are so grateful to have found YOU as part of our community.
