On today’s episode of the A Pinch of Magick podcast I’m joined by Stella Hervey Birrell as she talks about her essay in the book The Modern Craft.
Her essay is titled: Polite Persecution. Raising non-binary children, dismantling everything else.
We discuss:
In this conversation Stella shares her experience of losing the spaces where she had previously felt safe because her children were non-binary, and how she rebuilt a safe space for herself and her family.
She shares her experience of what she calls ‘polite persecution’ where people who had previously been close friends say the right things and smile, but actually withdraw their love and support.
We also discuss using magick to create safe spaces and the importance of advocating for yourself and your family.
