last commission of 2025 - a little garlic & rue magic for the new @jewitches.bsky.social logo. watching this project grow over the years has been a treat, thank you so much for trusting me with this redesign!

Christmas Trees aren’t pagan…So why are people so obsessed with this myth? Let’s trace it back to the German nationalists of the 1800s, the Nazis who promoted it, & let’s debunk the supposed origins — Saturnalia, Yule, Sol Invictus, Yule Log….all with citations. open.substack.com/pub/jewitche...

Look at the gorgeous pomegranate goodies I got from @jewitches.bsky.social I have a wee obsession with pomegranates. I am so happy to have these amazing candles, washi tape, and enamel pin. I love them so much! #witchsky #pomegranates

"Jewitches exists as a means of creating an emporium of curated goods from across the Diaspora." JWA chats with Zohare Jacobi, founder of @jewitches.bsky.social

just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes: bookshop.org/p/books/wild...

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

Jewitches is one of my favorite small businesses AND THEY ARE SELLING FROG CANDLES. 😍

It is raining in parts of Los Angeles, burnt chaparral and foundations sprinkled with the waters of heaven that have been robbed from it because of capitalism.

Working on a post & am asking for help: I have a recollection of Elon Musk being subscribed to a horribly antisemitic account on Twitter, but cannot find corroboration. Does anyone have a screenshot / link? Thank you!

Frog candle? Yes, please! jewitches.com/products/fro...

The Jewitches Shop is the perfect blend of old world apothecary, trinket shop, & modern spiritual provisions. Get candles, incense, herbs, trinkets, tarot, jewelry, accessories, decor & more… Jewitches.com

If you want to educate yourself on antisemitism (and I highly recommend you do so) and you don't want to be fed imperialist and pro-genocidal talking points from the ADL, I highly recommend @rudaleh.bsky.social's website. jewitches.com/pages/antise...

The "Anti-Defemation" Legaue has been turned into the "Defame so long you are rich and unconditionally pro-Israel." They have fully turned into a one issue organization, and that issue is NOT combating antisemitism and hate. Also, love me a good @bendthearc.bsky.social ratioing ADL today:

Fixed it.

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

The heart of Jewitches has always been to open the door to those who seek knowledge — you’re more than welcome to ask questions.

Story here & pending updates!

Transgender activists (yes, that's Chelsea Manning in the suit!) just staged a sit-in inside the congressional bathroom closest to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, to protest GOP-led efforts to keep trans people from using restrooms that match their gender identity. They were arrested. Story TK

Today is a good day for Tzedaka (mutual aid). Consider donating to my dear friend Willa 🧿 Venmo: Willatheewisp If you cannot donate, please repost!

One day, you will be forced to confront that much of Western Occultism lies at the feet of antisemitism; only made possible through centuries of oppression and violence against Jewish people. Profit from the theft of our books, our knowledge, our magic; all while denying that it was ever ours.

Religious but in a “returning to moss and mycelium, summoning angels and feeding the spirit in the chimney, glasses of blood red wine and burnt offerings, sturdy tomes and hours of study of the practices of our mothers” kind of way

chanukah is the most magical season in my shop, the deep wintry vibes and warm glowy themes just work sooo well with what i most love to draw and design!!

"I love being trans. I love being with you!" The amazing @chasestrangio.bsky.social, minutes after making history as the first openly transgender lawyer to argue in front of the Supreme Court 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 We love you, Chase ❤️

Muskeljudentum, or muscle Jewry, sought to create the “New Jew” — a virile, violent, muscular warrior — as opposed to the “Jews of Old”, who they saw as weak, backwards, pathetic (after all — how else would they suffer through antisemitism?) It was rooted heavily in white supremacist ideals.

Had a great conversation a bit ago and was asked, “what is the goal of what you do? What is the goal of Jewitches?” And it’s one of the questions I love. Here’s a summary of my answer, which is ever evolving.

Just because something feels right doesn’t make it accurate or true. Misinformation relies on tugging at the heart strings of all the societal bigotry & trauma you have endured. We must all learn to disentangle our feelings in order to search for truth.

Have you spent time ruminating on the difference between your intuition and your internalized biases from growing up in a society riddled with bigotry?

Trump’s new tariff plan will decimate small businesses. 35% from China, 25% from Mexico & Canada… And it doesn’t mean we import everything from there, but I beg you to consider the supply chain…

Say hello to the Pomegranate Candle of your dreams ✨ Made of beeswax & hand poured in Los Angeles, these are perfect for altars, decor, tablescapes & make fantastic gifts jewitches.com/products/int...

There are two wolves in me: one who understands that commercialization and capitalization of sacred holiday traditions is bad and the other one just wants cute Jewish decor

Fiancee gave me a second anniversary gift! This is a jar of protection salt from @jewitches.bsky.social . Excited to use it! #WitchSky

Being a small business right now is very frightening. The potential upcoming tariffs have already begun to raise prices on certain materials…It isn’t just about the end product, but all the things in the supply chain between manufacturers & businesses…

The Doikayt Necklace, which celebrates our values of Hereness, is in stock ✨ Channukah is in a month — so make sure to snag it before it sells out! jewitches.com/products/doi...

Recently, I have been confronted with the reality of the long standing appropriation of Kabbalah — something only made possible by centuries of oppression & persecution of Jews. And more of you have been impacted than you know—if you’ve ever picked up a RWS Deck, you’ve experienced it.

The holidays are quickly approaching! Order as soon as possible to make sure they arrive in time 🤍 jewitches.com/collections/...

Jewitches has an *excellent* primer on Christian Zionism and if your instincts are to automatically think "Zionism = Jew" it's time to educate yourselves on the world's largest group of Zionists who are actively and gleefully funding Israel. jewitches.com/blogs/blog/c...

The wave of anti-intellectualism we are currently witnessing is in kinship with the rising tide of fascism: they are part of the same dangerous sea.

One of the most frequently asked questions (and accusations) is, “how do you combine Judaism & witchcraft?” The premise that we're "incorporating" something into Judaism is a fundamental misunderstanding of what we do-and it's understandable!
