When Cathy Meyer sings, <\/strong>it sounds gentle and unpretentious. At least, that is what the website of the cultural organiser announcing one of her concerts says. In her YouTube videos she plays an acoustic guitar, her hair in braids; sometimes, though, she also dances with her bandmates in an underground car park to rockier sounds. Cathy Meyer is 25, and you might take her for a perfectly ordinary young musician. But Cathy is a witch. Or at least she identifies as one.

It began in Cathy Meyer\u2019s childhood. Her mother, Christina, often read to her from books about witches and gave her the pet name \u2018little witch\u2019. When Cathy was in her fourth year at school, Christina gave her a small pentagram pendant of her own. \u2018It was a kind of initiation ritual,\u2019 Cathy recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean to identify as a witch? For Cathy Meyer, it is about believing in the power of nature. She wants to live in tune with the changing seasons. Resting in winter, more energy in summer. No strawberries in winter \u2013 only seasonal vegetables and whichever herbs happen to be growing. \u2018For me, witchcraft is a faith and a place of calm, something that gives me peace and strength. Something I can always fall back on. It always has a bitter undertone for me when I compare it with other religions \u2013 but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any different. If you asked Christians or Muslims, you would probably get the same answer.\u2019 For Cathy, her belief in witchcraft is something that gives her strength and security in everyday life, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cathy Meyer is not alone: \u2018Witches are everywhere today,\u2019 writes the Swiss journalist Mona Chollet in her book \u2018In Defence of Witches\u2019. In the USA, for example, they demonstrate for the right to abortion. For Chollet, the witch embodies a woman freed from all domination and limits \u2013 a feminist ideal. This link between witchcraft and feminism may be surprising at first glance. Yet the idea is several decades old.<\/p>\n\n\n

As early as the 1990s, the American psychologist Lynda Warwick<\/strong> wrote<\/strong> that women could benefit from witchcraft from a feminist perspective. Warwick argues that the goddess figures revered in witchcraft embody many qualities that are positive for women. She sees them as symbols of strength, creativity and women\u2019s ability to exercise power. Warwick also sees the male counterparts in the witch cult as examples of a positive image of masculine strength. The male god figures, for instance, are modelled on the Stag King or the Green Man of ancient Britain. According to Warwick, they embody a masculinity that neither oppresses women nor abuses patriarchal power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Lynda Warwick also sees the community of the witch cult as a particularly positive environment for women. She describes it as tolerant and open to many lifestyles and identities. Above all, the cult is often an exclusively female space, which brings further advantages: \u2018A women-only space can create an atmosphere in which survivors of male violence can develop a positive, lasting sense of spirituality.\u2019 The rituals are often improvised and include elements of theatre, dance, art, poetry and song. For Warwick, they also encourage interaction between members of the group. She sees this creativity as a chance for women to learn from one another and to look after each other\u2019s well-being. In her article \u2018Feminist Wicca\u2019, she concluded: \u2018The practice of magic requires women to learn an attitude of empowerment.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why witch cults can be a source of positive emotions for women. Cathy Meyer, the witch from Hannover, however, mostly practises on her own and shares witchcraft mainly with her mother. \u2018She gave me witchcraft as a seed, and I was free to grow whatever I wanted from it. For me, that is inspiration and freedom at the same time.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n
