https://www.thesymbolicworld.com/content/rachel-wilson-feminism-is-the-political-arm-of-witchcraft
They don't go deep, but they cover a ton of interesting ideas:
- Abortion is witchcraft, and at one point there was an attempt to get it protected under religious freedom laws as an occult ritual
- The Wizard of Oz included the first real example of "the good witch"
- Feminism is not feminine; in the name of destroying the "patriarchy" it sets up its own version of power politics
- At the same time it is genuinely anti-hierarchical and radically decentralized
- There was an anti-suffrage movement around the turn of the 20th century in which women feared the devaluation of their domestic work and roles
- Feminism has ties with marxism, and makes use of "standpoint epistemology" to shut down opposition
The interviewee, Rachel Wilson, claims that witches have contacted her and thanked her for giving them the credit they deserve for the undermining of the family and gender roles.
Anyway, here's a link to her book:
