What we return, what we remember, what we can shape — together.
🌱 The 2025 Missing Witches Reparations Fundraiser is CLOSED!
And together, witches — with your help, the MW Coven returned $13,703 to our local Indigenous communities.
Of that, $3,871 went directly to our beloved friends at the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal.
This is what it means to live the spell.
To love not just in word but in deed.
To make repair — again and again — in every spiral of the year.
Thank you.

🎨 A New Visual Essay: Hilma af Klint, Jung, and the Cosmos: How Trance Paintings Mirror Modern Astrophysics
We posted a new visual essay in the zine today that returns to the mysterious wisdom of Hilma af Klint — painter, mystic, medium, and seer. This one asks:
What can we really know? And what can we shape?
If you’ve felt yourself tumbling through a time of unknowing —
if you’re floating in the space before the outcome becomes real —
this one’s for you.
Dive deeper into Hilma’s cosmic trance paintings and her ties to modern astrophysics here:

🐈 Schrodinger’s Cat and the Chaos of Now
Sometimes we find ourselves back in the box —
back with Schrödinger’s Cat, in a liminal space of not knowing:
Will the treatment work? Will the check come? Will the tide turn? Will we be okay?
We're witches. So in that space, we cast spells.
We craft, we hope, we sing, we vote, we rest, we give, we vision.
We put our fingers on the scale for life, love, health, fertility, abundance, and justice.
🕯️ This Week’s Spell: Spiral Back to the Beginning
Last week, we re-told the story of how Missing Witches began.
A strange little meeting in a green room.
Dancing around broom-handle maypoles.
Building a life raft out of friendship, research, and ritual.
Telling our story rooted us in a time of speeding crisis.
And it reminded us who we are — and why we’re here.
Your RX for this week:
🛁 Take a bath and dream it.
🖋️ Write it in your journal.
🎤 Voice note it to a friend.
🎨 Make a collage.
Tell the myth of your becoming.
The catastrophes that shaped your knowing.
The glimmers that show you who you are.
From these seeds, follow the bread crumbs to who you were always meant to be.
In the immortal words of Octavia Butler:
So be it! See to it!
And as always,
Blessed fucking be.
💋 Upcoming Coven Event: Cut-Up + Kiki with Uma Gahd!
Get ready, witches — this one’s going to be fabulous.
Join us live for a cut-up and kiki with none other than Uma Gahd, star of Canada’s Drag Race Season 5!
Uma isn’t just an incredible performer — she’s a community queen, the Matante of Montréal, and a co-founder of the local chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an order of queer drag nuns devoted to art, joy and service.
✨ There’s a lot to talk about — queer magic, sacred satire, ritual performance, community care, and sequins.
🧙♀️ Coven members are invited to join live.
An edited version of this sunny conversation will drop on the podcast as our Summer Solstice Special!
✨ Paid Members, RSVP here.
Not a member yet? Join the Missing Witches Coven to be part of this live magical moment (and all the ones to come).
May the bread crumbs lead us to each other,
BFB xo A&R
