Missing Witches

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, an ancient Berber script dating back to the fourth century BCE that was used to write administrative texts and funerary inscriptions across northern Africa prior to use of Arabic. Amazigh activists use individual Tifinagh letters as identity markers, writing slogans on public spaces, and, in this case, a graffiti artist wrote the word “Dihya” underneath this female figure referring to the Kahina’s actual name." Cynthia Beckerhttps://mizanproject.org/the-kahina-the-female-face-of-berber-history/https://www.jstor.org/stable/1595873?casa_token=X3UeRAwCHOkAAAAA%3ABghUhzzsr9e8cri0Lmr0J4--x2BmuuiQtKSTFHUsCCM9r1py_g8QlnkYY2DNqVjznKjFPiDeAboWCUpeZsQ7op0VxLJbftbZIIJJ3A0zcTnaSWXwDvuhbg&seq=4#metadata_info_tab_contentshttps://intercontinentalcry.org/free-people-the-imazighen-of-north-africa/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Berber_religionhttps://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/12088/LewisKahkatYac.pdf?sequence=1https://www.ancient.eu/Kahina/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Berber_religionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berbershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihyahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa_during_Antiquityhttps://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/kahina-r-695-703-cehttps://www.blackhistorybuff.com/blogs/the-black-history-buff-blog/the-kahina-queen-of-the-berbers-ruled-688-705-adhttps://www.arabamerica.com/an-early-feminist-al-kahina-7th-century-north-african-queen-fact-or-fancy/https://www.audubon.org/news/are-these-birds-better-computers-predicting-hurricane-seasons About Missing WitchesAmy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast.

In this episode, Amy and Risa sit down to chat about how we are managing to keep it together. We discuss Lammas blessings, plum trees, the capitalist meat wheel, the magical power of hope, our gratitude to the Missing Witches coven for being a safe place to be vulnerable, and swing back and forth between contradictions, weakness, strength, our shared profound confusion and, maybe, hopefully, some confidently solid advice for this Lammastide.About Missing Witches Amy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast.
