Witches, monogamy and nudery
So... I'm curious about this. It's something that has occasionally blipped on my radar over the years. This is entirely anecdotal for me, so I can't say with any certainty if this is a larger trend, but it does track pretty well with the historical stuff I've read.
Non-monogamy seems to be very prevalent among witches. And I suppose it is somehow related to the fact that witches also generally enjoy being naked at any and every opportunity.
I say these things because my partner and I are poly, and have been for almost two decades. Both of us have other partners who are also witches (although they do not know that we are, as far as we know). We're also nudists whenever we can manage it. On the rare occasion that we have our home to ourselves, the clothes pretty much disappear. When camping, we like to be as far out away from people as we can, and we're generally nude the entire time if the weather cooperates. We've been to nude resorts, nude beaches, nudist campouts... it's a thing for us.
I've also noticed it on every social media platform I frequent, that the witch community is full of people that prefer nudity as often as possible, and who are non-monogamous.
Again, this has just been my experience.
I suppose this is part of freeing ourselves from the trappings of christian society, and for female witches I suspect it's part of taking back their identities and rebelling against the rules imposed upon them by the patriarchy. This is what my partner has said, anyway.
I do know of witches that are monogamous, and who are not nudists, but they are in the minority of what I have observed.
I was listening to a witchcraft youtube video, and the speaker was talking about taking a morning swim in a nearby river, and said that she swims naked there almost every time, and she said “Witches like to be naked”.
I think she's right.
