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.

To smell her is to know heaven people! Stick your face in her hairy pussy. Even the sound of her name is orgasmic, MIMOSA. I love this happy plant! With her blooms lifting up and tickling my nose when you smell her, she just makes me want to laugh. And for this Leo rising, to laugh is to swoon. And to swoon is everything. What’s the deepest dive into joy your heart can muster? What’s the kid inside you need to express? That’s what mimosa is asking, the energy of our current Venus transiting Leo is asking and the bright shine of summer is begging us to uncover.
.

My collaborator, @nomyteaches made an elixir of mimosa blossoms, honey and brandy many years ago and called it: Malakh Maisa, Yiddish for: Angel Pussy. It literally turned me on when I took it. Joy turns me on more than anything else.
.

This time of summer is also the Jewish month of Av, a time of love and also a time of grief. If you are feeling grief, seek out these blooms. Smell them, lick them, talk to them and tell them your woes, listen to their loving message.
.

I really believe invasive plants (the Albizia Mimosa is native to China, Persia, Korea and Japan) have particular healing to offer us, around colonialism. I remember as a child loving this plant and being so drawn to especially her leaves. She has softness and innocence.
.

Yesterday the brilliant @lauramaenorthrup launched an incredible new podcast series called, Inside Eyes, about how entheogens and plant medicine can help heal us from sexual abuse (check it out and follow!), the connections between sexual abuse, colonialism and spirituality. Mimosa is a plant whose unbridled joy brings me back to the innocence of childhood and therefore, a healer for me around sexual trauma.
.

Happy Leo season! Wishing you encounters with this beauty!

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. 💓

What you can’t see : the sunburned side boob, blood moles (I got one on the tip of my nose now like a real witch), stretch marks and hairy bush. Use your imagination. Just your every day 41 year old babe keeping the skank alive over here..

Sending out my newsletter tomorrow with some words about growing older and the challenges of receiving what is good. Ugh, so hard and so easy! Link in bio.
