Cultural appropriation in witchcraft has unfortunately been happening for decades. However, with the current modernization and general acceptance of witchcraft in social media, the need for education on this matter is continuing to increase.
Since I am a white passing person that has hereditary ties to the native tribes of New England, I present a unique point of view on this issue. It stands to reason that people like me have the responsibility to speak out and educate people who may have their heart in the right place, but are appropriating native practices all the same.
Ultimately I stand firm in the opinion that the natural energies in this world are meant for all to benefit from, no matter your upbringing. Cultural appropriation is only possible if you are are willfully uneducated or disrespectful, or you claim these practices as your own and are profiting off of them as a non-indigenous person.
I talk about this issue in length in my new post over on my patreon. You can find the link in my bio 💖 or search Witchly Tarot on Patreon.
