Gryphons Moon Coven stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the Black community. Racism is an institutional injustice that continues to affect Black communities and others of color, and it will not end until this country sees white supremacy as a white problem.
We do not endorse, approve, or find tolerable racism or bigotry of any kind, and we work to not only be not-racist but to be actively anti-racist. This means supporting the Black community by joining protests, signing petitions, educating ourselves and our loved ones, amplifying Black voices, and supporting Black-owned businesses.
As Witches and Pagans, we know what ostracism and prejudice feel like, so for us to not acknowledge how centuries of systemic oppression continue to affect the Black community is not only hypocritical, it is unethical. Change starts with us, and we owe it to ourselves, our community, and to the Witches of tomorrow to bring this change into our lives and the lives of those around us. We must all do our part to end systemic racism.
Gryphons Moon Coven works to build acceptance and diversity within the larger Pagan community, and we welcome this diversity into our own coven.
Racism affects us all. We must always strive to bring racial justice into our communities, especially if that makes us uncomfortable. Racism will no longer be an issue to be suffered in silence.
