Conner Carey raises truth; “You, Woman”

In a world where men have been celebrated for centuries, where women pretended to be men to gain recognition for their work. Where powerful women sat in the secretary seat, never once having a chance to do business in the whiskey back rooms. 

“This is for the women hurting here and across the world.”

For the women who know the trauma, who know the pain. For every woman who heard only of Eve’s naiveté and never heard the thunderous story of Lillith. Who was shamed for her power, shamed for her sexuality, shamed for her voice.

“For the women fighting every day to be more than ass and titties, ass ass and titties.”

We are powerful. We are powerful. We are powerful. We are powerful. It is our image in ecstasy and pain. Our image in birth and death. We are powerful. The full spectrum. Every woman. Glorious. Healing. Blessed.

“This one is for your Mama!”

“This one is for you, woman. You, woman.”

Dad and Media Activist Paves Way for Free Media

Netflix, Facebook, Fox News....

All of these organizations exist within a hierarchical system known as the modern media conglomerate. In an age of corporate privatization, we are losing access to information and resources rapidly. One anonymous dad and his squad are taking a stand against this with the development of Smartflix software. 

This software provides access to media without tracking, without borders and entire film catalogs are available “with no restriction on geo-specific film contracts”

“Smartflix is freedom. No borders, no geo ai tracking. It’s global film access in one beautifully designed intuitive interface.” 

In a confusing age of technology, we need people who are functioning with the following mindsets. I wasn’t too sure about what this all means, but I started checking into some of this guys basic programs (i.e. how he sees the world) 

“Outside of my daily tasks in caring and supporting 3 children, I like to use my specific life experience and intuition to expand freedom, honesty and truth.” 

“We need more dedicated fans of us, human beings, with all of our flaws and beauty and infinite genius. We ARE the Universe.

Lift the veil.... that’s our purpose. ensure everyone is aware of the true value of their lives and how important each and everyone of us are to the universe. We start here with our mother, our earth.”

Enough said, #witchforpresident is honored to represent caring citizens and especially parents who are actively disengaging from modern programing and reclaiming their right to truth. 

If anything, may this be a call for your own research into technology and the information you have access to before you have no access at all.

Featured Full Moon Poetess, Monserrat Iñiguez; “Womyn, to the girl”

Womyn, to the girl

I promised my mother I wouldn't disappear

but i lied every time I hung up the phone

and stopped being her daughter

and became someone else

womyn

not the girl

not the girl raised by the mother protector,

not the girl raised by the wisdom of crones,

not the girl raising her hand for permission to speak

womyn

the body of embodied fights of generations

the body of embodied rights of generations

the body of embodied nights of liberation

maelstrom of folkloric skirts clashing

womyn

not the girl

not the girl trained to fear the curves

not the girl trained to fear the urge

not the girl trained to fear the street

register miles on the richter

womyn

not the girl

promised my mother I wouldn't disappear

promised my mother I wouldn't lose touch

promised my mother I wouldn't waste time

womyn

not the girl

promised to be everything tantrums screamed for

and hid

in closets of wishful thinking the girl

not the

womyn

came into light

womyn

emerged a seer

not blind

womyn

buried seeds in full

moon darkness

womyn

not the girl

baptized by praying

mantis  

hands the girl a

womyn

to make love to

womyn

promise not to disappear

into the girl who

lies on telephones

because womynhood is feared by the

unexposed woman

don't do this

to the girl

don't suffocate voice with the debt of

daughter

don't do this

to the woman

girl

to the womyn

girl.

Mom announces that she’s a badass- dismantles beliefs that women and mothers are less

There needs to be an important shift away from workplace productivity and towards creating dynamic relationships and sustainable home spaces. So much importance is placed on production and efficiency in the workplace, but what about the home space?

Brenda Perdue, Full-time working mother of two, asks the question

“Why is being a Stay-At-Home Mom considered lazy or undesirable? Why do people look at moms and think "I wonder how long her husband is going to support her before getting sick of it.”

She brings up an ancient paradigm where women are dependent upon men and this is seen as lesser or subservient. Here at #witchforpresident, we consider this not only highly important to address but also we consider this an outdated philosophy.

Modern times have brought many versions of humans to the forefront. Women are successful in the corporate world (though tragically, earn less money); they are performers, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians and all manner of vocation. What we now need is an equal level of respect for the woman who choose to stay at home with her children.

"I want to know why people have been conditioned to think this way […] In reality, being a mom is the most priceless job anyone could ever have. Its the most tiring and trying of all the jobs in the world.”

If this position is considered to be the least productive, what are we then saying about the children whom are also “staying at home” and furthermore, what are we saying about the home space?

Much work towards a sustainable future starts right in the home, especially in the homes of children. This work is about creating nourishment that then flows out into the world.

Overall, we are looking to highlight the importance of Mothering. Not to be dismissed for another ‘working citizen,’ Mothers need respect. This position is a place of great honor and great responsibility.

"I do not regret that what I do every day is build up the next generation of humans that will run this world and hopefully will do something to make it a better place. What I do is give and build what you call the miracle of life. I’m a fucking baddass and I will always be loved and appreciated by the ones I helped grow with love and kindness.”

The next generations remain a priority here at Witch For President, and once in office, we will see that each woman and child and family will be supported to evolve their home space into a greenery of love and sustainability.

Artists Thrive in New Witch Order

Visual story-telling is an ancient practice and provides a unique framework for digesting information.

Philosophers have long relented the limitations of language on their conceptions and inner vision.

As president, our team will create a school system based on teaching children many different languages and mediums for creative expression. Grants will be provied to artists, architects, astronauts, aliens and acrobats.

Adea Frances is one such visual artist living in Colorado.

Her artwork will be displayed at Rabbithole Studios in Brooklyn, NYC on February 27th.

She feels especially connected to visual mediums as a method of discussing the reality of our world, “it’s how I communicate inner realities.”

Her inner realities are vibrant and many textured. Her style travels to various aspects of her personality and shine light on not only her own experience, but the pressing nature of existing for us all. As she gleans information on modern social justice issues, she laments, "I think art work really has the ability to bring things into light and point out uncomfortable realities.”

 See her somatic explorations and abstract structural form at The Art of Adea and better yet, get to NYC and see her live.

Yogini: Breathe and Be

Yoga is an interesting element of modern culture. It originated in the East and recently came to the United States where it has become likened to a fitness fad. That’s okay though, let’s take a look at why.

Take a deep breath in and embrace the appropriation of a culture we did not grow up in. Appreciate it. Respect it. Feel the silence around you, the spaciousness Release your breath fully.

You might do this very thing in a modern yoga class, and beyond breathing, you’ll also be connecting with your body in a deeply important fashion. While many Western teachers strive to bring the essence of the original yogic teachings to our culture of stress and pressure, it’s hard to know what real yoga is- something like a way of life. 

Despite this gap in cultures, we are lucky to have even the briefest of encounters with such potable knowledge in the midst of this modern desert. And in my experience, it works.

 Try taking one deep breath, try it. Sit up straight or lay down and just breathe. All elements of modern yoga. It feels great and helps release some of the stifling anxiety we are all undoubtedly feeling. Probably from all the traffic.

Oyana Mamedi is one such teacher dedicating her life to bringing this awareness to folks in the U.S. As she teaches asanas and lifestyle, she says “my peace begins with silence.” You may find out more about her at Clear Happy Fit.

Enjoy the silence, my friends and remember to vote by going outside and enjoying nature.

Our Foundation? Soil

Besides blanketing the precious ground we walk, we can achieve effective preventative healthcare through our relationship with the ground. Lucky for us, we have a witch on the team churning out microbial deliciousness and knowledge necessary for our people to rise. Check out Soil Magician Latoya Crick at her incredible website  and take her up on that soil witchery for your farm, garden or yard. Educate yourself.

The relevance of soil health cannot be stressed enough. We live in an interconnected web, for crying out loud! As president, our team of witches will ensure the necessary health of soils across the nation and begin teaching the people how to maintain the Earth surround.

Working in harmony with our environment will lead us into a symbiotic relationship necessary for continued human survival. Straight up.

Rebecca’s Apothecary, providing simple healing solutions to Boulder’s Public

Health is easily lost when it becomes as unachievable as hyper-glossed models, expensive medical bills and pills, and easy access to the worst food (not food) stuff around.

It’s pretty rough out there. But luckily, there are still paths to old, simple knowledge. One such place is called Rebecca’s Apothecary. I had the great pleasure of visiting with Becca, a member of the staff.

She had incredible things to say about the Apothecary. Like how much time they spend in finding local sources, looking for small farms and supporting them in a mutually beneficial relationship.

She explained that for personal use; one should look to their local  environment. Finding out what herbs grow locally and using those in abundance rather than ordering herbs from faraway lands is usually the route. 

She described her journey into herbalism as “Plant Lust” a term she picked up from Howie Brounstein. She loves making tea and sticks to about 20 of her favorite herbs. Stop by and see Becca Wasserman and say hello to the owner Rebecca, as they pass out some of the best and most gentle healers known to woman.

Local Plants; Where it’s at

The more we localize and appreciate the abundance of minerals and nutrients in our literal backyards, the more quickly we can assimilate into a sustained existence with Planet Earth -which lets be honest here, quietly calls each of us back to her.

Symbiotic relationships are that sweet harmony. #witchforpresident

Woman Inherently Triumphant Cradling Herself

What is #witchforpresident?

It is a cry for forest, for joy, for happiness and abundance. We in our society are rich with resources, but the structure of our society makes it impossible to access these simple pleasures through the ongoing struggle and toil.

With many serious topics in the political debate sphere, my hope is to imprint a sense of deep reverence for all that is available on the planet and in all the sentient creatures around us.

Through a humorous awareness and playfulness known only in the deep freedom of natural surroundings- I invite my human family to step outside of the political sphere, the binary nature of our modern culture and the sweet irrelevance of most things for just one moment to consider the symbiosis of deep forest.

Sincerely,

Witch For President

Recent Campaign at Open Mic ‘Raging Success’

A campaign team including young fairy and Hearth Mama joined a crowd of onlookers while a delightful trumpeter held ceremony in tandem with a few beautifully sung chants.

Later, Witches were seen rapping, playing acoustic guitar and eventually belting out vocals heard only in the depths of the soul.

Rumors poured from the crowd over what a great time everyone was having, and nobody felt miserable, lonely or in competition. Plans for future campaigns are currently under blueprint.
