Overturning RvW
We are here, not only as Practitioners of the Arcane Arts, but as citizens of a society seemingly lost and in rapid decay in the eyes of many. The people of these currently not so united states are pulling at the Golden Strings of their personal Divines, not understanding fully what they do, and seemingly not caring about the outcome as “it doesn’t effect” them. ALL are connected. Yet, politicians rooted in their patriarchal dogmas continue with adding to the strife and obvious discontentment of their troubled souls. How do they do this? By enacting measures that strip value from those around them. They lessen their neighbors. Cheapen their significant others. Darken the futures of their children.
That Will has been infringed upon by those who pretend that they have the best interests of others in their minds and hearts –when in fact, they do not. They have removed bodily autonomy and enacted forced birth in many locations across this nation. Women have died due to complications of this force. Doctors, who take a Hippocratic Oath to “do no harm”. Yet, here we are. The Hippocratic oath is a well-known Greek medical text that most students of modern medicine learn of. This strongly held ancient text requires new physicians to swear an ethical oath. This Oath includes promises to uphold professional standards, such as treating patients with dignity and respect, and providing the best care possible.
They are not all abiding by this. Women are dying. Barnica. Glick. Crain. Thurman. Miller. Wilkinson-Sobieski. The list goes on, but must we keep going? Must more women die?
To deepen the concern, it seems that these deaths do not matter to them. It does not matter if females are held against their Will and raped, resulting in pregnancy. They are further enabling the corruptive and criminal element with an indirect ability to continue to damage another life. They will further dump on an already overburdened Health and Human Services system, beyond taking away a female’s birthright of Free Will AND her right to privacy as protected by the Fourth Amendment.
Who are they to say what a person's state of mind is after such a vicious, and damaging, moment in time? Has the shoe been on the other foot? Would you force the females in your life to suffer such an Experience? Worse yet, are YOU willing to shatter this soul when it asks, “why was I adopted?”
No. Most reasonable humans would not.
As a politician, they have the privilege that would afford a way to give themselves or a loved one the option, THE CHOICE, that is NOT being given to others in the same situation. Unfortunately, the almost half-million rape victims that occur in the US alone each year, many of these resulting in pregnancy, (over 30% on average) do not know until the Second Trimester has already begun. (For the record that is around 14 weeks.) For the record, according to RAINN, on average, there are 463,634 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year in the United States. The highest risk years for rape and sexual assault are ages 12-34.
No female desires to be raped and placed in the situation where restrictions or bans are already enacted with no exceptions. It is a complete lack of logic and empathy to force a female to have such a frightening Experience without that choice in place for her chosen resolution.
Did she have a say in any of this? NO. Females have only been allowed to be recognized as individually counted and voting citizens of this land since 1920. Before that, she was the property, along with her children, of the males in her life. Dad. Brother. Spouse. Uncle. And sadly, sometimes Son. That was a little over 100 years ago, but that is how it feels now to women all across this land. The female voice is not being heard over dogma. Morals do not need dogma to be seen or felt. We do not need a book to tell us how to treat others and what Free Will is. We feel it. We know it. It is truly a birthright.
We at National Black Hat Society stand on the side of Free Will.
This unfortunate event of overturning Roe versus Wade is a tragedy in our country. Regardless of the determination of legal precedence, a female should not have to have permission given to her by any other individual or government entity for the choice that she makes with her OWN BODY. Often her choices have already been stripped from her by the occurrence of rape itself. Being the age of majority, with a sound mind, body and soul, she is the one who has to die when that moment comes and that decision has to be made. The Supreme Court overturning of Roe versus Wade has already condemned many with an almost imminent mortality.
This is not acceptable.
Our Promise to YOU
Together with hundreds of thousands of other American citizens, our Practitioners will fight against this blow to the female’s Free Will and freedom of choice. We will carry our torchlight and knowledge forward in our continued Journey of life and teach the youth around us how morally bankrupt our Judicial system often is. We will teach them the fallacy that occurs with “legislating from the bench”. Their eyes will be opened to the err of the ways of these muddied waters. The voice of our supportive males will rise above the din. Our Kindred. Our Brothers. We will join together and right this wrong.
This is our house that we have all chosen to live in together, yet those that have been elected to lead are not doing so. They act with impunity upon the female of our species all across this country. All women, regardless of origin or station are targeted. We all must take initiative and change that. Each of us is responsible to assist in the recognition and empowering of the people whose Free Will has been slighted.
Will you?
It is time to truly ask ourselves, “where are we going” with this damning decision and “how are we getting there”. It is time to take stock in our personal lives and ask the hard questions. Can we allow this reversal of majority decisions regarding Free Will to continue?
No we cannot.
We are each asked to act. Whether it is a mantle we carry for the females in our life, supporting their birthright to Free Will or contacting our elected representatives, LET OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES BE HEARD.
The time is now.
Thank you for reading this official statement from National Black Hat Society.

Recognized Charities for 2024
From National Black Hat Society Council:
There are hundreds of thousands of charitable nonprofits operating here in North America alone. They range from food banks, museums, senior centers, houses of worship, schools, theaters, research facilities, animal shelters, health clinics, housing assistance centers, transportation providers, and the list goes on and on.
Helping others is a continuous, selfless act, absent of Ego. None of us would be where we are, even if we live “off grid”, if it were not for another human.
Everything from our yurts, wooden spoons, soaps, clothing, all the way to our cell phones, computers, tablets, cars and homes – ALL are made by other humans.
None of us made it all.
To show our continued support of the magick in our human species, National Black Hat Society and its Affiliates are donating to both national and local charities on a regular and continuous basis. Some of these vetted charities are listed below.
Join us in giving?
#TCMedCalifornia
Simply the Basics
Simply the Basics is a San Francisco based organization here to help those in need of feminine hygiene products and for educating others. As we know, those born with a female body typically have a moon cycle to experience each month, as well all do, but females also experience menstruation. There should never be stigma placed on someone experiencing this as we all have for tens of thousands of years.
Menstruation is a natural occurrence.
To ease the burden of hygiene poverty, there is help here for those of us that need those supplies. This is but one place you may contact.
#TCMedGeorgia
Lost-N-Found-Youth
Lost-n-found Youth is an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that provides services to LGBTQ+ Youth experiencing homelessness. They are a great program to be a part of when trying to get off the streets that you have been forced onto by caregivers who do not accept you wholly and unconditional.
#TCMedNorthCarolina

Right now, one in five people in central and eastern North Carolina don’t have enough to eat. Your tax-deductible gift helps provide food and hope to families, children, and seniors right here in our community.

This is aid for Pennsylvania specifically. Please donate if you can.
No matter where you are, the number of charitable organizations in the United States are endless. What we as citizens contribute in time and money is not. It comes and goes. It fluxes with the economy. It fluctuates with our mood. Everything is a factor. Sometimes we let others and other ideas stop us from helping those in need.
It is time to remove those roadblocks.
If you find yourself sitting on a shop at home website for the second time today, scrolling past redundant ads on social media, being click-bated into buying another something you will NEVER use… STOP.
A child is starving for food, right here in the USA.
A family has no water to drink, right here in the USA.
A woman is in need of help, right here in the USA.
You do not have to look past the town you live in to find those in need. Say “yes” to helping out your kindred human. Despite the judgment that some sit in, “in need” is NOT synonymous with “bad”. You helping out is NOT “enabling”. Give because you can. Give because you want to. Give because if the shoe were on the other foot, you would appreciate help too.
Join us!
Take a moment and peruse the charities mentioned above or seek out one that is near you or dear to your heart. We all greatly appreciate anything you can give in donations of time or money.
Thank you,
National BHS and Affiliates
