Serwa Boateng's Guide to Witchcraft and Mayhem Quotes

“Sometimes, when our friends make painful choices, it usually has more to do with what they're going through than any desire to hurt us.”
― Roseanne A. Brown, Serwa Boateng's Guide to Witchcraft and Mayhem

“Do you know what surprised me most when I came to this country? The way witches are glorified. People here dress up as us for Halloween. They fill their TV shows and social media profiles with our aesthetics. It's like they've forgotten that, for most of human history, witches were something to mutilate, not emulate. Women who were seen as outcasts—too queer, too brown, too unwell...Any one of us on the margins was a target. To me, a pointy hat and a broomstick are not a cute costume; they are a reminder that, for centuries, people were brutalized under the mere assumption they might be what we actually are.”
