Join Anna Titov as she explores the fascinating links between socio-political climates, and witchcraft...
Witchcraft can be interpreted as a practice that enables the creation of an “otherworld”, a liminal space that one can enter or embody in order to perform manipulative actions through the form of ritual that bring real change into the perceived world that one has real interactions with.

Drawing on observations concerning phenomenology, corporeality and subjectivity, nature and spiritual attention, this lecture will explore the witches’ creation of an otherworld as a means of self-preservation based on their particular lived context, namely the current lived irreversibility of the Anthropocene and the effects this has on humanity’s relationship with nature beyond ourselves, a cherished relationship observed in all stems of modern Paganism.

We will discuss how these spaces are created, aspects of interaction between a perceived realm and one that is visited, how communication with nonhuman entities deepens our relationship with nature in an empathetic way, and how the history of women and witchcraft shows us that strengthening these ritualistic practices may indeed be the first step to halting the damage we are inflicting on our environment.
