💬 “We’ve lost sight of the magic in us,” said Tree Carr, a high priestess, a witch, a tarot scholar, dream guide and death doula 🔮 As the rational, material world becomes increasingly dire, it seems that many of us want to believe in magic
Carr is pleasingly witchy in a long dress and a huge crystal necklace – which she tells me later is smokey quartz which is good for “grounding” – and her face is open and smiling. She shows me up to her “witch cave” – a home office with a wall of electric guitars on one side and shelves stuffed with jars of dried herbs and twigs, giant volumes on witchcraft, tarot and astrology, and an altar of black candles.sit on her desk.
Then we start pulling tarot cards, which I’ve never done before. She tells me that the right card will pick me. Inwardly I roll my eyes at that idea but every card I pick seems to be speaking to specific things I have been struggling with during the process of writing a book. They prompt Carr to give me insights that ring so true that at several points my eyes fill with tears.
Between 1400 and 1782, 60,000 women were burnt at the stake for witchcraft, during which time pamphlets with cartoons of old women with facial hair and pointy noses – images we still see in Disney cartoons – were in circulation. Carr believes that the patriarchy was threatened by the power these older women had. The misogyny that wise elder women faced then is, of course, still present.
