CW: laughter, tears, rage. Today we gather to invoke an idea that Dr. Beverly Smith shared with us in the past: A conversation can be a protection spell. May this conversation be a spell of Protection for all those pushed to fear by the overturning of Roe v Wade. In this frank and emotional episode we protect bodily autonomy, we protect our siblings who feel like our bodies and our fates are out of our hands. Olaomi reminds us that our bodies "belong to us. They are ours. We ARE in control" and helps us on a path toward this knowledge, saying "Reproductive work has always been magical work." Mackenzie reminds us that one of the strongest weapons used against us is isolation, and collective community is the best defence. "Our connection to the universe cannot be combated." - Olaomi
