The Lawyer

Hi!  I'm the Lawyer.  I came to the Wicked Witches of Fucking Everything many years ago.  I can't imagine a life that doesn't involve being part of this circle.

Some Random Answers to Random Questions that Might Make You Contact Us

What do you like most about the circle?  I love being a part of a community of magical women.  I love the support that I receive from them and I love being able to be a part of their lives.  And, well, the magic.  Especially the political magic.  I love doing magic in a circle.

If they made a movie of your life, what would it be like?  You know that line in Out of Africa, just after her coffee farm burns down, and Karin's friend says to her, "What happened?" and she says, "I had the best harvest of my life, and, then, god remembered?"  That's my life.  Or, you know that line in Broadcast News where Holly Hunter's boss is mad at her and he says, "Oh, it must be great to always be right, to always know so much better than everyone else!" and she says, "Oh, no, it's terrible!"?  That's my life.  Or, you know the very end of the movie Karma Sutra where Maya (ha!) says, "Knowing life, I will allow all things to come and go, be as supple as the wind, and take everything that comes with great courage.  For, as the teacher would say, 'Life is right in any case.'  My heart is as open as the sky"?  That's my life.

What is your path?  I'm a Dianic witch.  I love the parts of witchcraft that bother "serious" Pagans, those with an ecumenical bent.  I'm that odd old woman who keeps saying those things that no one wants to hear.  My hera is Granny Weatherwax, who did not often do housework, but who was often the cause of housework in others.  I'll bind evil as fast as I'll send energy to a wounded bird and I'll never think twice about some fluffy-bunny "Rule of Three."  Go ahead, bind me from doing evil, in turn, if you think you can.

If you could, who would you choose to invite to a dinner party?  Dorothy Parker, Francis Burnett (and I'd sit them together), St. Catherine of Sienna, a woman burned at the stake, Catherine di Medici, Elphaba, Hatshepsut, Boadicea, Mitochondrial Eve, Queen Mab, a Priestess who knew the Eleusian Mysteries.

What witchy book do you go back to refer to?  My skin, my bones, my heretic heart are my authority.  The Tarot.  Judika Illes' Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells.  The Fifth Sacred Thing.



Imbolc

Imbolc was an amazing Sabbat for the WWoFE.  

Brighid crafted a Celtic salt scrub and led us underground to a warm "grotto" where each woman took a turn discussing something that she wanted to leave behind in the winter soil as she turned to Spring.  Her sisters scrubbed her back with the salt scrub and chanted magic for her as she exposed her new, tender skin to the Spring.  Many pairs of hands on each back, rubbing and scrubbing and touching with warmth.  Many voices chanting for each goal, raising energy, bringing change.  Then, into the warm "waterfall" to wash away everything between her and her new growth.  Finally, each woman slipped into her warm, lovely robe.  And, on to the next woman.   And the next,  and the next.

We lounged around on soft couches and went on a gentle guided meditation to touch the bulbs and tree roots ensconced underground with us, in the gently-warming earth.

And then, robed, relaxed, renewed, we ate and drank and talked late into the early Spring night.

Brighid Speaks

Hi, I’m Brighid the Goddess of Creativity. I’m also an active Huntress on E-bay and other sites. I joined the WWFE about 4 years ago after being a solitary for several years before that. While we are not a teaching circle, I’ve certainly grown in my power in being part of this group of amazing kick ass women. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel thankful that I answered the announcement in Witches’ Vox. I can’t imagine being part of another circle.

What do you like most about the circle? While we have a High Priestess, the actual creating and leading of rituals is rotated among us.

If they made a movie of your life, what would it be like? If they filmed my outer life, it’s be pretty quiet, however if they did my inner life, it would outweird David Lynch.

What is your path? I’m eclectic with some emphasis on green witchery. Along with Brighid, I work with Quan Yin, Laxsmi, and Ganesh.

If you could, who would you choose to invite to a dinner party? Aside from the WWFE, George Washington Carver, Carolyn Keene, George S. Kaufman, Mark Twain, for starters.

What witchy book do you go back to refer to? Probably the 365 Days of Goddesses.

The Wicked Witches of Fucking Everyting

The Wicked Witches of Fucking Everything is a closed circle of eclectic witches in the DC metro area.  We do magic on the 8 Sabbats & on either the dark or full moon each month.  We also get together for monthly "bitch" sessions.  We have an annual day-long retreat.  

Attendance at all events is very important to us.  

We are interested in doing magic that impacts our lives and our world.  Some of our magic is explicitly political.  Women take turns leading rituals.  Each year, we focus on a different goddess/theme and a different cause.  We open the circle periodically for new members.
