This episode feels vulnerable, powerful and radical. I speak to witches and the society which demonized and burned them. The witch trials represent the fear and control enacted on those with differing views than the prescribed narrative. This injustice is one that needs to be spoken. My work is one of remembering that we are nature. And in nature there is light and dark. And to find balance in those, I believe, is the way to freedom.

I want to preface this episode by acknowledging my perspective on the spectrum of depressive states. I have not personally experienced chronic depression and acknowledge that this is some peoples experience. My goal is to broaden the perspective surrounding depressive states while not diminishing others experiences. I hope this is what is spoken here. If this is not your perspective on my words, I am open for a discussion about it.
