Leading the Witching Hour discussion tonight at Third Eye Creations in Holiday, FL!

Come talk with me about the need for critical thinking in witchcraft and paganism, and learn more about my new podcast: “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking Podcast for Witches.”

The discussion starts at 7!

Got this on my car today lmao.

Respectfully, I do not, thanks. Christians, come collect your sheep. They be wildin’ out here.

Also, wondering if they saw the kidney donation decal next to my Hail Satan one. I’ve done far more Christian things than most Christians.

You can hear more from my conversation with Maya Amatvult of @critwitches.bsky.social on “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking Podcast for Witches” wherever you get your podcasts.

You can also find a text version (and link to the transcription) on my substack: open.substack.com/pub/daylinam...
A teal to green ombré background with a quote from Maya Amatvult. It reads: “I really do believe it’s a witch’s prerogative to be part of the debunking of misinformation, to be part of naming the game that’s being caused by misinformation, by cruelties, even intentional cruelties, and intentional ones. It is part of a witch’s relationship to the world around them, to step in and say something for all of these things, but it is hard, and it’s a skill like any other skill that can be built up and needs to be practiced.” On the bottom left is the logo, a black witch hat with a press pass tucked into the brim. And it white text it says “The Light of Day: A Critical Thinking podcast for Witches.”

Don’t conflate critical thinking and science as if you can’t think critically about things that don’t fall into the category of “science.” (1/3)

In some ways, it hasn’t been easy coming out of the broom closet. The mundane community thinks you’re crazy, and the magical community tends to sneer at folks who practice with healthy skepticism.

But I really hope my new podcast helps folks vet info bc misinformation is rampant in the community.

In January, I launched a substack to explore critical thinking, media literacy and more in witchcraft.

I just dropped a trailer for the podcast by the same name - The Light of Day. It’s on Spotify and w/in 24 hours will be everywhere else.

I hope you subscribe!

Love, love, LOVE my new nonbinary witch hat from Opal at www.fibermagick.com !

Isn’t the feather on the side super neat?
A non-binary person in a crocheted witch hat made with black, yellow, white and purple thread - the nonbinary flag colors. They have short blue hair and glasses and are wearing a black shirt that says “future ghost.” They’re outside their house because the lighting is much better.

This issue is on "Queer Magic" and features the most number of contributors I've had so far. Hope you enjoy!

A teal and green ombre rectangle. In the center is the white cover of my latest zine. It says SASS Witchcraft #4: A zine by Daylina Miller. The art in the middle is a rainbow circle. Inside the circle it says Queer Magic in bubble letters, and has a black and white spellbook with a pentacle in the middle made with the progress pride flag.

It’s an awesome way to pitch topics, produce feedback, and help one another learn!
