Fire Mountains / פֿײַער איופן בערג / fayer oyfn berg

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.

ART & RITUAL FOR EVERYBODY

Almost eight years ago here on the Salish Sea, I began the Moon Angels / Malakh Halevanah Oracle Deck and over five years ago, birthed this baby into the world. It's been quite a journey, it's led me to places and people I could have never predicted. When you make something from your soul, from your heart, channeling the creativity of the universe, you let go of control. You can't predict where it will take you. My friend @gracerosarioo said to me once, "Making the art is just 25% of the process." It's so true, (she is so wise!) there's everything leading up to the moment of creating and there's everything that happens when you share it publicly. If you never share it, you're missing out on a huge part of the process. If you never make it, you deprive the world of your "you ness," your gift back to the universe that created you.
.
Now I'm coming to the end of my run. I'm not sure if I'll do another printing, so if you've always wanted one, nows the time to order.
.
I'm working on a new deck that's much different. I still use the Moon Angels everyday, they are always with me.
.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and supported this angelic journey through the cosmos.
.
I love you.

#NeverAgainIsNow action today in Seattle, shutting down the ICE office.
.
On the eve of Tisha b’Av, the Jewish holiday of grieving, it was so powerful to be framing this work in the context of concentration camps that have existed before, for Japanese, for Indigenous folks and currently for immigrants.
.
We all belted out “NO!” Together, feeling the somatic reverberations ripple through us, igniting a grief that will continue to fuel us, to keep us from despair and keep us in action.

Last night the royal Toni Morrison passed. What a gift her life has been to our universe and society. Her art, her voice, her writing had more power than any politician. There is no other author I’ve been so influenced and formed by. I read The Bluest Eye at sixteen and Song of Solomon at seventeen. As a teenager these books formed my understanding of the resiliency of Black Americans and the centrality of it to our culture.
.

As a white person, I experienced the centralizing of Black experience Toni Morrison did as an essential and generous tool for dismantling racism and for loving ourselves by working for racial justice.
.

Toni Morrison’s work and life have formed my personal prayer: that Black and Indigenous people will be in leadership positions that continue to influence the tide of cultural healing. And that us white people will do everything to support this happening.
.

May your family and all who mourn your loss find comfort and peace. Thank you Toni Morrison. May you rest well and have a great time dancing with the ancestors.

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. 💓
