Alt-right spaces used to be easy to spot and avoid. Everyone knew to carefully vet evangelical churches and tread lightly in certain states and towns. However, as people leave evangelical spaces to find more fulfilling spiritual paths, they sometimes bring with them bigoted and harmful ideologies.
It’s one of the growing reasons why any new ideas and mysteries we come across need to be carefully scrutinized before we embrace them. Shannon and I love a history mystery as much as the next pagan, but media literacy and critical thinking are crucial to avoid falling into the alt-right pipeline and finding yourself in very scary situations.
Join Shannon and I this week as we lay a foundation for keeping yourself and your fellow witchlings safe in the craft.
