Blade and Broom | Spoonie Witch | Disability-Informed Witchcraft @bladeandbroom | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Ever heard someone say, "I don't have the spoons for that right now" and wondered what it meant? Let's talk about Spoon Theory, disability, and witchcraft. (And ... We're going to be gentle with me -- and that fact that I sweated so much while setting up that my mascara was a mess. I had no idea! And frankly, it took too many spoons to record the video -- so I had none to spare to redo it! I'm a mess, and it's okay.)
