[will-o-the-witch]

No need to answer of it's too personal. But as a Jewitch, do you sometimes feel disconnected from other Jews (that are not witches)? I'm not familiar with the Torah but I vaguely recall that witchcraft is frowned upon.

Hey hey! I don't necessarily feel any more out of place than I would for any other aspect of my Jewishness we could scrutinize (like not keeping kosher/tzinuit, not knowing all the brachas by heart, etc.) The biggest disconnect has honestly just been trying to keep up with everyone else while still deassimilating, but everyone's been really understanding so it's largely just me being hard on myself.

When I make it to temple I don't always talk about my magic practice because it's my business/usually not relevant, but my Jew Crew definitely knows and we talk about it openly. A good bit of my work is also based off of Jewish folk magic and more hands-on interpretations of Jewish practice, so in many ways witchcraft is just one of the ways I navigate my Jewishness, and the "validity" of that is between me and HaShem! (I'd probably have a harder time getting away with it in an Orthodox community, but that wouldn't be my only obstacle there anyway lol.)

As for witchcraft and Judaism, jewitches has a great post about it that I'll link when I'm not on mobile ^^

being tzinuit in the summer is just a lot of wailing "how did we survive the desert" tbh
