#contre-attaque

[majokkid]

With Walpurgisnacht quickly approaching, I wanted to solicit you all again to help me hunt the Heritage Witch and its minions! (As a reminder, you do not need to be a real-world puella magi or even work with Puella Magi Madoka Magica as a paradigm to participate!)

It is clear that Trump’s approval is waning steadily. People who were on board with this admin’s aims are getting increasingly fed up with all of the empty talk, contradictory actions, and undue harm placed on their communities. While I obviously do not take sole ownership of this tide shift, I really do think our work up to this point has contributed to it.

Please read the playbook linked here and send me your ‘attacks’ by 7PM EST on April 30th!

This is a very image-heavy PDF so it may take several seconds to load for you!

I’m looking forward to working with you all once again! ☆

Another successful immolation and series of attacks launched at the Heritage Witch! ☆

This is what we started with:

On the right we have the interior of the effigy with images of Agenda 47, the Heritage Witch, and its various familiars. On the left is the window effigy sealed and covered with the ‘attack’ sigils. (I love how it looks like colorful butterflies are swarming the window!!)

We had rain this morning so it took a bit to get a nice fire going but as soon as the effigy hit the fire pit it was off to the races.

As always, the ‘attack’ sigils were incredible to watch. The bright yellow and green flames were particularly prominent tonight!

At this point, the window effigy opened up and the images of the Witch and its familiars were immediately engulfed in flames! It was such a cool moment to witness!

It didn’t take long at all for the effigy to completely burn down. Despite the damp start, I think this was the fastest that the effigy was reduced to ashes! I’m not sure if it was because of the materials used this time or what but it seems as good as an indication as any that the opposition to Trump’s admin is growing in strength and voracity.

A huge thank you to @grimoire-of-geekery, @mahouoftime, @denpa-teki, @niaskotl, and friends not on Tumblr who contributed to the hunt this round!

The Ongoing Hunt of the Heritage Witch

On the heels of another murder by the hands of ICE in Minneapolis, I wanted to post something for magical heroes who wanted to hunt the Heritage Witch (Agenda 47) and its minions outside of the concentrated attack efforts I’ve orchestrated.

Even though I won’t be soliciting ‘attacks’ from the community at this time, I invite and encourage you to utilize the playbook I wrote for Walpurgisnacht of last year to guide you in your own work. In the digital pamphlet you can find not only some of the magical worldbuilding I used to frame the hunt, but the Witch’s Kiss or sigil of The Heritage Witch (which you can also see in the GIF above), depictions of the Witch and its Familiars, and suggestions of how you can access the Labyrinth.

You can find the original pamphlet (with new Witch Cards and Appendix) here:

It may take several seconds to load since it is an extremely image-heavy PDF!

As I mentioned in the document, the Heritage Witch is something that cannot be defeated by a single person alone—it is through our collective actions that we will be able to pull this country from the grips of despair. ☆

I’m sure other American magical heroes are equally as horrified and incensed as I am with the news that an ICE agent in Minneapolis gunned down an innocent civilian.

Whether or not you have joined me in my ongoing work against the Heritage Witch, I think it’s prudent to draw attention to another class of Familiar that has grown out of actions such as these:

This minion is known as the Mercenary. Its role is to enforce the will of its master through violence. This familiar has fully formed wings and will fly around the Witch’s Labyrinth, aiding other familiars with their duties. They carry various firearms that they use indiscriminately against those who threaten their master.

Feel free and empowered to direct your work towards these Familiars, particularly if they are actively threatening your communities.

Hmm, wondering if I should conduct another hunt for the Heritage Witch and its minions for this year’s Walpurgisnacht…

With the admin’s popularity steadily declining and more folks questioning its actions, I think that keeping up with the work would be prudent but I’d love to know if others would be on board to help!

If you aren’t familiar with the work I’ve been doing with this, you can read about it in the linked doc! (It is a very image-heavy PDF so it may take a few seconds to load.)

Another successful immolation! ☆

The flames caught on a trail of ‘attacks’ near the bottom of the effigy and worked their way upwards and inwards. Just like on Walpurgisnacht, the attacks burned up in various colors which was so cool to watch!

I hope the flames are indicating that the admin will continue to bring about their own undoing; all of those who have wronged the people will be held accountable and I for one am fully prepared to keep working until that happens.

Thank you again to all who contributed!

Even though courts ruled that the Trump administration must pay SNAP benefits while the government shutdown is still underway, they are fighting that decision tooth-and-nail to withhold funds from millions of folks in need. Some state governments have stepped in to fund SNAP recipients in their jurisdictions but many other places are scrambling to keep food banks and community pantries stocked and funded.

If you are wondering what you can do to help in your area, consider:

⚘ Donating goods and/or funds to your local food bank, community pantry, or meal distribution center ⚘ Volunteer with groups like Food Not Bombs that work to reduce corporate food waste and get meals and ingredients to those who need it most ⚘ Contact your representatives to urge your state to fund SNAP in lieu of the federal government’s actions ⚘ Find or start a reoccurring community potluck event to bring help folks together, facilitate mutual aid, and help destigmatize food assistance

Remember to always donate and work within your means! Even small gestures of kindness can mean the world! ☆
