Due to the inevitable collapse of capitalism and in reaction to the oppression of people who identify as women, witches will gain the freedom to create ecofeminist communities within the midwestern landscape. The ecofeminist community will foster a space for people to learn about natural healing methods, the innate knowledge of ecology, and safe explorations into magical and non-traditional means of living. Witches thrived in the pre-capitalistic society and will once again reclaim the land after capitalism falls in the future. The practice of wicca spirituality is present today, and the midwestern fortress of witches is a dignified space to dedicate to these practices. Witchcraft can be a very individualistic and communal process and spaces within the fortress allow for personal journeys. Rituals and daily practices are encouraged for people within the spaces along with care for the garden landscape and rich midwest soil.

      

“Being a witch means living in this world consciously, powerfully, and unapologetically”

“The history of Europe before the Conquest is sufficient proof that the Europeans did not have to cross the oceans to find the will to exterminate those standing in their way.”
-Silvia Federici, Caliban and the Witch

“Across ideological differences, the feminists have realized that a hierarchical ranking of human faculties and the identification of women with a degraded conception of corporeal reality has been instrumental, historically, to the consolidation of patriarchal power and the male exploration of female labor. Thus, analyses of sexuality, procreation, and mothering have been at the center of feminist theory and women’s history. In particular, feminists have uncovered and denounced the strategies and the violenc e by means of which male-centered systems of exploitation have attempted to discipline and appropriate the female body, demonstrating that women’s bodies have been the main targets, the privileged sites, for the deployment of power techniques and power-relations”
