Andra, Ayo (Witch Prophet) and Laura, all identify as Queer Witches. They all go on their separate journeys to find out their past life stories that have shaped their reality today.
Andra Zlatescu, travels to Romania to find out more about the Witches of Romania and her roots.
Ayo -Witch Prophet, travels to New Orleans to meet with spiritual healers to be blessed.
Laura travels to Scotland and finds out that women in her family were killed because they were accused of being witches.
The film introduces an array of colorful characters, kind of sterotypical of what you might expect a witch or similar in a Hollywood movie. Some scenes felt like they were lifted from one of those kinds of movies. Lot's of drone shots, lots of over the top, Hollywood character type of people explaining witches rituals and practices.

A lot of it revolves around religion. I don't know how I feel about the whole thing as I am not one that follows organized religion because I don't feel that it is always current with our times and I do not relate to some of the rituals and practices.
I wondered how Director Rama Rau, went about finding all these witches for this film. Is there a Witches Convention? I wondered why 3 female lesbians were chosen as the main subjects. All of a certain similar age but not similar backgrounds.
It is worth a look to make you think about how you feel about these stories and how they believe in astral projection, past lives, ritual ceremonies, spells and potions.
