The victory in the harrowing against the patriarchy was a huge success and we have reason to believe the patriarchy has been defeated.

The main reason for the burning of the effigies was to create a ritual of protection and liberation for all witches after the harrowing when we have to be vulnerable to the patriarchy in order to defeat it. <br><br>In the 30 or so days this sub has gained an enormous amount of attention and the engagement has been incredibly high. We have had over 200k people join us as of writing this, and it has taken us less than a month to reach that number. We have been covered in articles and covered on social media. <br><br>We have had women from all over the world come forward to share their harrowing stories on what they have been put through by the patriarchy. Everyone who has been a part of this ritual has been seen, heard, and believed.<br><br>Seeing the way our community is coming together in support of one another gives us reason to believe that our time on this earth is finally coming to an end. <br><br>We burnt the effigies. We have been seen. We have been heard. We have been believed.<br><br>Edit: I am getting several requests for proof as to who we are and why this event was so successful. Unfortunately you will not be getting any, but we will say this: just because you don't know what we look like or who we specifically are, does not negate the success of our ritual. <br><br>And to answer your questions, yes- we have the ability to walk among you and we always have. Yes, we are everywhere and can be anyone. Yes, the success of this ritual is because the patriarchy was burnt at the stake.
