Black Girls and Moon Magick: Finding Spiritualism As A Black Woman

But it's no secret that by and large, the Black community primarily identifies as Christian. And though that’s not inherently problematic, both the Christian and Black community have tumultuous relationships with black women, often demonizing our very existence as both a black person and a woman.
