Day 10: Have you ever faced discrimination for your views on witchcraft or how you practice?
No, because I am not 100% "out." I don't fear discrimination in my employment because I keep my work life and spiritual life separate. If I am discriminated against in that way, I will go to my union and go to the ACLU. I am educated, connected, and bilingual, so I can't imagine being unemployed for long if it ever came to that.
My spouse is incredibly supportive, and he's the only person in my personal life who could really influence how I practice.
As for people out and about, no one would really guess I'm a witch. I wear a ring with a spiral surrounded by two triquetras, and people just say it looks cool. I will have impassioned discussions about witchcraft, feminism,racism, and animal rights in public spaces outside of work, and I have never encountered anything but the occasional look.
Seriously, though, who would want to mess with a witch? I don't practice any witchcraft on people without their consent, but they don't know that.
