How will you recognize it? - Author: Amy Torok - Tags: Zine The prompt for our last meeting was: **What does the re-enchantment look like? What does liberation feel like? How will you recognize it? What will be unexpected about it? How did it get here and what did it change? What is it like to wake up and go to work in a re-enchanted, liberated world?** **This is the New Moon we dedicated to the radical anti-capitalist magic of The Word in our book,** [**New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Capitalist Tools for Resistance and Re-Enchantment**](https://bookshop.org/p/books/new-moon-magic-13-anti-capitalist-tools-for-resistance-and-re-enchantment-risa-dickens/19508628?aid=91531&ean=9781623177904&listref=books-by-missing-witches&ref=missingwitches.com)**, and for this circle, we'll invite you to wield your mighty pen to help imagine liberation.** The output from this meeting was so fantastic, we've decided to compile it into this Zine post and share it with the world! What follows are poems and drawings created by the Missing Witches Coven during our last New Moon meeting! ## From Melissa S. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b0/b2/b0b2b0c5-0324-4ded-8c78-fb468356e3e1/content/images/2024/02/IMG_20240208_192119-1.jpg) Aquarius Moon Art by Melissa ## From Rebekah **Body Liberation** Stretching and folding MY body in half Releasing the secrets and Mysteries in my muscles Smelling my own blood Having a moment... a check... a beat Releasing the old fear of Guarding my own gates Inhaling my own scent deeply **Family Liberation** To the government that killed my family FUCK YOU Defiance Is the truth possible or is it buried In decades of outdated power My voice is possible Old stories do matter That has not died We are his liberated voice That is not in the grave My liberating word from scarcity: ENOUGH There is enough I am enough Enough with these lies There is enough My liberating word from male dominated heteronormitive sexuality: mmmmm MORE **What I wrote last night in response to the prompt of: "How will we know that the bright future is here?".** No sorrow. As the church hymn goes, "there'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear". But does that mean I will know less love as sorrow is love as well? Or is it that love will be complete and sorrow obsolete? Perhaps if I have sorrow I am already in the bright future because I am already in love. The bright future is when the version of love that shows up like sorrow is shared, when our own sorrows are lighter because we are all not alone. ## From Killian I am Witch I am plugged in Electric body singing Web vibrating An imperceptible secret Felt only by me An interconnected weaving The very fibers of my being Refusing to be denied Hidden in plain sight Indelibly esoterically unstoppable ## From Carly ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b0/b2/b0b2b0c5-0324-4ded-8c78-fb468356e3e1/content/images/2024/02/20240208_202603-1.jpg) Beautiful Chaos by Carly ## From Vanessa **Radical Re-Enchanted Liberation** On the one Hand, almost unrecognizable On the Other, let’s try. We will recognize it when everyone is safe. Every being, every insect, every rock. When we care for our most vulnerable, we will know it has arrived. It will look like cottonwood seeds dancing through the air. It will look like the insects whose wings catch the sun’s slanting rays at sundown. It will look like a woman /wearing anything she wants/ Going anywhere She Wants. Alone. Without fear. I have nothing radical to say here. And yet, it is completely radical. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b0/b2/b0b2b0c5-0324-4ded-8c78-fb468356e3e1/content/images/2024/02/AQU-van.jpg) by Vanessa ## From Teela When a stranger's smile Is warmer than the sun When my daughter Can live without fear When our children are safe In public spaces When community means more And we can rely on each other When people can live in harmony Without hate and jealousy When kindness is more important Than appearances or status When people can be Whoever they want to be And find acceptance and love When it's normal to sing off key And to dance in the rain That is when I'll know The right future Has arrived ## From Jasmin **Found poetry: The kids are alright** You are responsible for your own algorithm All pronouns are good pronouns What’s in your wallet? I have 45 butterflies in my wallet I’m neurodivergent, you’re just going to have to deal with that! My autism is autisming My adhd is adhding Ableism is really everywhere? Damn The frozen soundtrack really slaps What if we had to do school outside? Shut up you’ll jinx it! I wanna fight you in the parking lot, as a joke I want to ask that person out…do you think they like the same pokemon as me? I actually learned something today The Berlin wall…was a wall…in Berlin… Can you love more than one person? Can I like…change my mind? Can I go home? I’m kind of done today y’know?People shouldn’t be houseless when there’s rich people down the street Home come asparagus is like 10 bucks? What would you do if you were a zombie? It’s like I get you, y’know? You get me too I feel like I want to hibernate Hey look it’s sunny out! Can everyone just shut the fuck up? She’s talkin! See you tomorrow? Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I will never forget you, I would not be where I am without you. I will still keep in touch with you over email, maybe sometime we could go out to eat or something. Thank you again. ## From Deb ### **The future told me, “We live now in a healing you couldn’t imagine, but one that grew from your seeds.”** --- 🌿 [Support The Project And Join The Coven](https://www.missingwitches.com/membership/) Today. ## Interested in contributing to the Missing Witches Zine?
