For us as witches, this work we’re doing through Witches Healing the Earth is equal parts magic to practical action. We hold synchronized rituals and meditations, and we also volunteer for beach cleanup days or to clean up our local roadside litter.

While participating in healing rituals and stirring up a cauldron of magical intentions is badass (and something we will continue to do), we also must engage in the nitty-gritty mundane work. That includes writing our legislators, staying informed on environmental policies, holding our lawmakers accountable, etc. We must engage in our communities locally, nationally, and globally. After all, if we could simply wave a magic wand to bring peace on earth in an instant, one of us undoubtedly would have already done so.

It sounds a bit daunting, doesn’t it? Part of the reason is that there is so much information to sift through. Laws and loopholes, breaking stories, policies, corruption, greed. It becomes tiresome. We get worn out. But that’s why witches need something like Witches Healing the Earth. What if all the information that we look for not only as witches, but also as citizens of our respective states, provinces, countries, and earth, was found in one place? What if there was a place to go to get objective, sound, trustworthy information and advice and action? (And maybe some genuinely uplifting and inspiring stories along the way too!)

That’s what I envision Witches Healing the World to be: a lively networking community of environmentally conscious people working toward the greater good of humanity and the planet through thought, magic, and practical action. I envision us leading by example, in a humble yet badass warrior sort of way.

But like everything in the world, it takes a village. Can one person make a difference? Sure. We have had heroes like that in our history. But it’s so much easier (and I’d also presume a bit more fun) doing it alongside others.

My vision for Witches Healing the Earth is that it becomes the most trusted resource for environmentally conscious witches. My ultimate dream is that it grows into a position of philanthropy, allowing further influence on healing wildlife and humanity. In more clear terms:

Yes, eventually, I’d like this website to make ad revenue. I'd love for people to be inspired to donate, so that we can give those funds to high impact, thoroughly vetted charitable organizations and relief funds.

For this to happen, we must stretch into that aspiration. We will need quality, credible content in the form of articles, photographs, artwork, poetry, etc. There will be topics ranging from quick and light fluff pieces, such as “10 Earth Day Resolution Ideas,” which can be easily read on someone’s lunch break, to heavier, more intellectual journalistic articles, such as a report on environmental bills or policies and how they’re affecting earth and humanity.

All of this is in addition to the community aspect, in

These can include interviews, intimate profiles of witches in our community, compelling cultural or personal essays, etc. We are also looking for feature writers. The sky is the limit here, as long as the content relates to witchcraft, spirituality, environmentalism, or humanitarianism.

• Editors. We currently have two editors and are looking for three more to ensure our writers have the resources they need.
