Witches are as a whole pretty Earth-friendly, however, there is more to the death of the planet than just recycling cans and plastics. Real activism is called for, and witches as a group are some of the most motivated to take on real activism for change.

Daily Changes

The little things we do each day that are part of our practice are a good format for how we change our environmentalism into part of our spiritual practice. Growing our own food is a way to start, as well as being seed savers. We can recycle, of course, and reduce our footprint everywhere we can but that alone won’t preserve the Earth.

Another way to apply this is to practice daily acts of activism. For the moment, I write to change minds. One day, I hope to feed my neighbors with my garden. Helping others in any way is daily activism. Anytime witches engage as a community they are changing not only the world but the world’s perceptions about witches.

Political Activism

Don’t just do spells. Engage.

From all our years in the closet, we’ve become used to letting the world have its way lest it turns on us, but it’s counterproductive. Being part of a collective is the only real way to affect the collective. This means voting, taking local action in local races, actively working for social organizations who are doing the hard work.

Witches can change the world as easily and with as much courage as any other group if they take the time to become part of the communities in which they live and restore the balance. For too long, the world has been inundated with corporate greed and selfish mindsets, and what it truly needs is a few more tree-hugging spiritualist types to hit the reset button.

Appreciation of the planet and its gifts is part of our nature, and it’s literally our best shot at prolonging the life of the people on it. We can do this by building community and activism into our daily practice. That’s how witches will change the world.
