Welcome to Hippie Witch, Magic for a New Age.

I'm your host, Joanna DeVoe, and this is a happy, hippie place where Magic with a K meets the Law of Attraction.

Yoo-hoo!

Hi, thanks for joining me for episode 243 of Hi, Hippie Witch, Magic for a New Age.

My name is Joanna DeVoe, and I am the cookie creatrix behind Kickass Witch,

putting the K in Magic, and Hippie Witch, the show you are listening to right now.

I also have a free ebook by that name, Hippie Witch, Peace, Love, and all that good shit,

and you can pick up a copy of that at www.jana devo.com or back on the description page for this episode,

back on Blog Talk Radio.

And in case you didn't catch that, I said shit.

Yes, I did. This episode is going to have swear words. I'll have to go in to blog talk and mark it as like explicit language because the title

of today's show. Children, children, if there are children in the room, it is time to chase them out of the room and set them up with some SpongeBob.

Or you can rock a pair of headphones or you can save this for another time.

We are going to swear here, people, because the title of today's show is the joy in being a selfish fucking bitch. Yay! Just saying that makes me happy,

I'm going to be honest. I actually don't love the word bitch. I have talked about this before.

It's weird because I love the word which and part of my love of that word has to do with

the reclamation of it because witch is a word that used to be thrown at people. It was an accusation,

right? And it was, it was not a compliment and it could get you killed.

So I like saying which because I can, because I can get away with it. A lot of people reclaim words.

I will never say the N word as long as I live and it makes me so uncomfortable when people do. I know people like to

reclaim these words because they feel they're empowering themselves, but some of them are just

so untouchable to me. And for a long time, bitch felt that way too. And it still kind of does,
