In ancient times on Rosh Chodesh, a fire would be made on a mountain top. This fire would signal the beginning of the month, and when others saw it, they too would light a fire on a mountain. The fires on the mountain tops connected people in counting time.

This time of darkness: moon time, access to the reptilian mind on the surface.
This time of transmutation, morphing, change: ignition of our soul fires.

Ways to heal .

(especially if you work with plants and your people are not Indigenous to Turtle Island and, if your people and you have white privilege) :.

I invite you to check out and donate to @canoejourneyherbalists ! Link in bio.

I love the plants of this land I live on here on the Salish Sea. I pray with them and make medicine with them. I try to do this in an honoring way, listening to when the plants say no, listening to the people Indigenous to this land and what they are asking for.
.

Rhonda Grantham started @canoejourneyherbalists from her work at Standing Rock. Together with Sophie Geist they have grown this incredible organization that honors the milenia of Indigenous plant knowledge and makes these medicines available for one of the biggest convergences of Native people in the NW, Canoe Journey. .

This project is a way I have found to give back thanks to the keepers of this land, those Indigenous to this part of Turtle Island. .
.
There are lots of ways to be involved throughout the year: volunteering at the many gardens in the area, growing and processing plants for Journey, wild crafting requested plants and making medicine. .
.

Right now Journey is coming up and the big request is: Cash! So we created a GoFundMe, to bring elders on Journey, pay for travel costs for Indigenous folks to volunteer and an assortment of other costs. .
.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! .

May I present to you the violet bush bundle.
.
According to my teacher Corinne Boyer, violets are good for love magic- seduce the object of your affection with scent or taste. Also good for heartbreak, the heart shaped leaves are so gentle and loving. Also good for children dealing with grief.
.

I’m making an elixir of the flowers and drying the leaves.
.
Wishing you a friend who has a lawn full of violets hasn’t mowed yet!.
.
Anyone else have favorite violet associations?.
.

Harvested because of the love of @kittykoppelman not mowing her lawn. 💓

I’m so grateful to Rep Ilhan Omar. For her strength and vision, words and calling.
.
I have so much to learn from the dignity and strength of leaders like Rep Ilhan Omar, Dr Marc Lamont Hill, Dr Angela Davis and Rep Rashida Tlaib and all other Black and Muslim leaders who are calling out institutions such as AIPAC who condone human rights abuses in Palestine.
.
The backlash they are experiencing is Islamaphobic and racist. .

Our struggles are completely woven and as Jews we have the opportunity to align ourselves. To understand the difference between anti semitism and hate. Rep Ilhan Omar is not anti semetic. You know who is? Our president, Mike Pence, David Duke, and yes Benjamin Netanyahu. You can be a Jew and be anti semetic. You can be violent towards Jews and other Semetic people.

This MLK day I am focusing on reparations. One way to bind ourselves up in the struggle (still potent as ever) of Coretta Scott King her husband. I have heard many black people ask for this, thank you for asking and bringing it to the front. Economic reparations..
.

As much as our culture fails to recognize this, it’s not just black activists that lead the struggle but also those creating essential art and culture we depend on for our inspiration, livelihoods and emotional well being. Art creates life, life creates art. Where would we be without the scholarship, art, music, healing arts, dance, comedy and performance of black people? Literally we all would be dead. I know it’s a funny way to think abt it but it’s true, if you really meditate on that.
.

Give reparations today (and any day) if you are white and can. You know who moves you, what artists and organizations. I don’t say this to lift myself up but because I hope it will be an inspiration for someone else to do the same. A couple brilliant healers I am focusing on giving to right now (u can too): .
