The summer solstice reminded us of the light that The summer solstice reminded us of the light that shines within. On the longest day of the year, the radiant sun illuminated all that had been lost. So we may see. So we may rediscover parts of ourselves and humanity that has been waiting to be found. With the fire in our soul and the passion in our hearts - we light the path of recovery. Take sweet and sacred care of yourselves, beloveds. Love Vasalisa and Lucy. #sacredrecovery #summersolstice #litha #wearesacred #recoveryrituals #ritualsofrecovery #soberaf

This is why anti-racist practices and social justi This is why anti-racist practices and social justice are a part of our recovery. Sharing from Soda Millington via FB. “Something I dont hear addressed frequently but I would like to discuss today. We all recognize how our sympathetic nervous system responds in "fight or flight". This hormone response happens in times of stress and it's not in control by the logical brain, this response comes from a more instinctual process with less prefrontal cortex involement. Why are we civilians expected to act with the with utmost logic and ignore our sensations completely to "comply" when we are sometimes literally in fear of our life. When our body's response is LITERALLY NOT PROGRAMMED LIKE THAT. Wouldn't it make more sense to find ways to engage with civilians in ways that are less likely to turn into overdrive hormone responses. Wouldn't it make sense to create trusting relationships with civilians and quality repuations for LEOs. It makes more sense than trying to completely re program our nervous system out of our natural human response that has been the reason we have survived as long as we have.”
I am privileged because all it takes for me to fee I am privileged because all it takes for me to feel safe in public places in broad daylight is a mask, a shungite crystal, and the colour of my skin. Others are not so “lucky” - which is why being an ally to BIPOC folx and using my voice and energy to stand in solidarity and advocate for better treatment of people of Colour is a part of my recovery. I have actually witnessed racism of indigenous people as I am often mistaken for a First Nations woman. When I worked in Alberta I was called racial slurs because of this. I used my privilege in those moments to advocate for those who have to live that daily. Those men were very apologetic when they discovered I was Macedonian, not First Nations. May they be reminded that it is not me they should be apologizing to.
A cop murders a man in cold blood, in an icon of h A cop murders a man in cold blood, in an icon of humiliation, knee on neck, a man who is bound and pleading for his life, and all this happens not just in front of other cops who do not intervene, not just in front of a live crowd, but is videoed and shown to the world. It’s a public murder, a lynching, a display of brute power. And this murder is one in a long string of murders, black life after black life, and in the majority of cases, the perpetrators have walked free. And we wonder why our cities are in flames? We are surprised when a cigarette butt sparks a raging fire in a tinder-dry forest? I am a life-long advocate and practitioner of nonviolence, but I’m not going to preach it to those who have the knee on their neck. Not until I first send out a larger call: I call for nonviolence from the cops, whom we as a society entrust with the right to carry weapons and to use force, and who therefore must be accountable and responsible when they abuse that trust. I call for nonviolence from the president, who has condoned and advocated violence on every level, stoked racial fear and hatred, supported white supremacists, egged on armed, white protestors, and so much more that I can work myself up into a froth just trying to list it. And from all the other power-holders who aid and abet him, who ignore their duty to govern fairly and accountably. I call for nonviolence from the media that focus on and glorify violence and too often ignore peaceful protest, from the media outlets that spread misinformation and outright lie, from the social media that provide platforms for lies and hate to spread. I call for nonviolence from any folks of privilege, whether that’s vanguardist leftists or, far more prevalent, organized white supremacist groups, who are using the protests to advance their own agendas instead of taking the lead from those whose lives are most directly impacted. I call upon us all to acknowledge that racism is violence, continual and nonstop, like a low-level inflammation that saps your energy and occasionally erupts into agonizing pain. And occasionally sets the world on fire. Via @starhawk_spiral Contd in comments
#Repost @blackvisionscollective and @witchesconflu #Repost @blackvisionscollective and @witchesconfluence ・・・ Protest looks like many things. Taking to the streets, caring for activists on the frontlines, sharing food and medicine, sharing your dollars with POC businesses, orgs, and individuals, sharing a song, sending your prayers and psychic protection to your black and brown brothers and sisters. We’re following the lead of the @blackvisionscollective and lighting up our altars in solidarity with BIPOC friends to send protection, love, and spells for radical systemic change. Let’s weave some collective spells for Justice, tonight, and keep those candles lit until real justice can take root We all need to protest. And protest has many shapes, sizes, and colors. Protest is song and drumming, protest is cooking and holding babies, protest is prayer and meditation. This is an offering to black and brown people to explore the inward ways that we protest, the ways we honor our ancestors in protest, the ways we seek guidance for this work in the long haul. This is an invitation to meet each night in prayer, in song, in meditation. Let’s turn up at our altars. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ As communities in grief and in rage at the historically callous treatment of Black life in our city and in this nation we are coming together each night to connect to purpose, our ancestors and a collective practice of reflection and renewal. Bring your rage, your love, your fire. Put candles, bowls of water, earth, plants, seeds, stones, Florida water, rum, mezcal, sweet foods, copal, sweetgrass, palo santo, and images of your loved ones, elders and leaders that you admire. Show off images of yourself in your practice and at your own altar, however you choose to build it and whichever spiritual or non-spiritual practices you follow.
