As an earth-centred Pagan religion, Wicca involves manipulation of natural elements to provide an outcome based on the practitioner’s intentions. Given the importance of the natural environment to Wicca, its practitioners have often been at the forefront of environmental activism. Wiccans have also been a strong presence in eco-feminist and other feminist movements because Wiccans tend to see themselves as part of the same lineage of witchcraft that saw thousands of people, especially women, ostracized, tortured, and killed during the Salem witch trials and other persecutions. In contrast to what they see as heteropatriarchal ideologies like Christianity that fear women’s sexuality and devalue their work, Wiccans valorize women and “femininity.” In the 20th century West, Wiccans, who tend to take this “path” as teenagers and middle-aged individuals, continue to fight stereotypes of Wicca as “evil” (often confused, as it is, with Satanism) and to fight stereotypes of powerful women as “witchy” – especially as women’s power relates to their sexuality. This poster seeks to contextualize contemporary Wicca as a response to gender and environmental injustices by drawing on scholarship of Wicca, in particular, and New Religious Movements, more broadly. |
