Convention Days at Women’s Rights National Historical Park
The year 2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.
Early women’s rights activists dedicated years, and in some cases most of their lives, advocating for the right to vote. Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York commemorates one of the earliest women suffrage movements in United States history. It was here the first Women’s Rights Convention took place in 1848, attracting nearly 300 men and women to debate and exchange ideas regarding the social, civil, and moral rights of women.
The park tells the story of this event through a variety of sites including Wesleyan Chapel, where the convention was held, as well as the homes of renowned women rights activists Jane Hunt, Mary Ann M'Clintock, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who launched the women’s rights reform movement. They contributed to the creation of the Declaration of Sentiments, which proclaimed that “all men and women are created equal.”
If you find yourself in Seneca Falls this weekend, the park is hosting Convention Days on July 19-21, 2019.
The event is a unique opportunity learn about the early days of the women’s rights movement and the factors that impacted its development. Not-to-miss events include ranger-guided tours, reenactments of the Declaration of Sentiments speech, and the opportunity to meet Coline Jenkins, great-great granddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who will present the keynote address!
Hi, I don’t curse, but can we all just agree that cursing white supremacists is a really good-heckin idea right now? Can everyone please just get along and work together to annihilate the fucking Nazis? Just imagine we’ve got our cursers on offense here in combat sending forth their collective conscious force of magickal fucking wrath and non-cursers on support throwing binding spells left and god damn right, energizing the magickally drained cursers after battle, and healing those ill-affected by the war. I’m honestly not settling for less than some fantastic full fledged army of Nazi-ass-busting witches here.
I’m in
Idea for non-curser witches: you can always bind their sorry asses from hurting and harming others. Just a friendly witch tip ;)
It’s also a good idea to cast protection/good luck spells to help protect the people in danger of nazi bullshit
I’m glad you all enjoyed this edition of “Late Night Stonery Ramblings with Amanda” which I barley remember writing from my apparent high-induced inspiration for motivational speeches and destroying the Nazis.
I’m gonna be slaving away at the keyboard today gathering a wide variety of information to compile a detailed master post with spells and tips for both cursers and non-cursers to all gather and merrily participate in the Nazi-ass-busting together in harmony.
[Spell Jar to Protect American Minorities]- I need to give a special shout out to the creator here because this spell is fucking awesome and is absolutely perfect for this cause and useful for all types of witches!
[Avada Kedavra Curse] - “a harry potter inspired curse designed not to kill, but to make the target feel death’s presence in their life.”
[Red In Your Ledger Curse] - “a curse to inflict all the pain a person has caused back on them, one item at a time.”
[Seven Devils Curse] - “inspired by florence + the machine’s “seven devils”, a curse to burn the kingdom of and haunt the target.”
[The Gaston Curse] - “curse to knock someone off of their high horse and make them feel the pain they have inflicted upon others and/or you.”
[Voice Theft Curse] - “a curse to stop someone who has been spewing hateful speech and words and return that negativity they put out back into their life.”
Now go forth my children, and give em’ fucking hell.
One of my favorite Disney witches, Eglantine Price, proudly defended her country from Nazi invasion through the judicious use of barely understood spells and charms (never could get that toad spell down).
I would be honestly astonished to discover that any of my friends here on Tumblr were Nazi sympathizers, so I doubt anyone will be bothered by my complete lack of trouble with reblogging this post.
However, since I am certain a great many people who do magic are thinking of doing this exact thing, might I suggest a few tactics?
1. If you aren’t good at curses, or don’t desire to curse, but you do want to go on the offensive, there are confusions spells and “bad timing” hexes, and of course the occasional useful weather spell.
2. If you’re a more kindly sort, protection spells can be cast not only on your more aggressive magical counterparts, but also upon potential victims. Concealment spells and “nick of time” charms might also not go amiss.
3. For those who work with spiritual forces such as gods, fae, ghosts, or otherwise, calling them forth to aid the situation might be exactly what the doctor ordered.
Our recent Circle of Salt podcast episode talked about exactly this phenomenon, so let me also remind you all- if you want to be public about your spells and join a movement, remember that the work on 45 is in fact working if we observe the evidence. For those who wish to be less open about their work, or aren’t fond of joining these kinds of things, I encourage you to focus at least some of your efforts on doing something useful that hasn’t been advertised yet.
For all of you, make sure at least part of your magic is intended to bring about blessings to the rest of us, because life is hard, and endless aggression and fighting makes it harder. The dangers of a witch war often are not only found in how another’s spells affect us, but in how our own outlook affects the rest of our lives. Take care of yourselves and each other, first and foremost.
This is why I love witchblr community so much I’m gonna cry
My non-history friends were all, “Let’s go do something fun!” Apparently museums aren’t fun? Here I was, thinking primary source gathering was the best it got…
Baron is going to fuck a follower this weekend. There’s a horny little wife out there who isn’t getting all she needs. I feel it’s my civic duty to fix that… especially since this one is HOT as hell!
