Usually here at Missing Witches starting at the Fall Equinox we begin a 6 episode season telling stories of real people who help us understand what we mean these days when we cackle and invoke witchcraft. But this summer I was diagnosed with cancer. We’re here, we want to be here with you, and we come bearing stories; but we can’t guarantee what shapes they’ll take. They’re still metastasizing. I’m going to begin with a miniature Cancer season, episodes drawn from the elements, and there will be witches here who walked this cancer path before me. I’m going to start with the Water. I’m going to follow Audre Lorde.
