The black witch project is a term used to refer to the various initiatives and efforts aimed at shedding light on the history, experiences, and contributions of black witches. It seeks to challenge stereotypes, dismantle prejudices, and promote understanding and inclusivity within the witchcraft community. The project endeavors to highlight the diversity and richness of black magical traditions and practices, which have often been overlooked or undervalued. By doing so, it aims to challenge the prevailing narrative that witchcraft is a predominantly white undertaking and to debunk the notion that black witches are rare or nonexistent. The black witch project also seeks to address the historical erasure and marginalization of black witches. Throughout history, black people practicing witchcraft have faced persecution and suppression, often due to racist beliefs and colonial agendas.
