Boycotting large chains is a privilege.

Protesting is a privilege.

Moving States or countries is a privilege.

Prepping is a privilege.

Growing your own food is a privilege.

Stockpiling meds is a privilege.

Far too many of the “solutions” to fascism are inaccessible to many disabled people.

"There once was a time. Before television. Before motion pictures. Before radio and books. The greatest part of human existence was spent in such a time.

And then, over the dying embers of the campfire, on a moonless night, we watched the stars."

I have such visceral memories of the times in my life when I felt like the Two of Wands getting ready to embark on a new journey. It's one of the best, most exciting feelings.

To the healers, empaths, creatives, revolutionaries, spiritualists:

We chose to be alive at this moment. Don't be daunted by the erratic nature of these current times. Tap into your medicine and offer it to everyone in your orbit. We will win and colonialism will fall.

Believe it.

Made a connection today b/t Beatrix Potter & the Queen of Pentacles. This is truly most of what I aspire to in life. Abundance in all ways, protecting the land & animals for current & future generations.

Day 13: Favorite tarot card and why

The Hanged Man has recently become my favorite! It's also my life path card (12). Reminds me of Rafiki from Lion King 🐒

I respond better to humor in spirituality rather than the rigidity & seriousness of some spiritual philosophies.

Day 10: How do you strengthen magical protection?

I imagine a sphere of birds soaring & swooping around me.

Hematite is also my go-to for longer road trips, plus asking my spirit guides to hop in the car with me :) I would like to start saging my car as well.

Ten of Pentacles gives me mafia vibes for some reason ha!

.. but also reminds me of my Italian heritage & how grateful I am for my ancestor's sacrifices. Gives me a new perspective on my privilege.

Missed this one for #witchmadness but wanted to chime in.

Day 4: A trick for understanding birth charts

Everything shifted once I started following my rising sign as opposed to my sun. Now I know where all of the houses land in my chart, and my planetary ruler.

Game changer. #astrology

Studying The Hierophant today. I remember pulling this one far more often in college. I do often miss being a student in a formal setting.

Very happy to continue my learning on my own terms as well :)

My favorite section in the daily Tarot worksheet: historic & fictional examples. This has been my favorite so far!

Some "Judgement" quotes:

"You're a wizard, Harry"
"Remember who you are" Mufasa

Many of my posts include ways I recommend to #Resist. In the comments many of you have great ideas on how to do so effectively.

altFWS tips for resistance:

10) Engage local elected officials you know. Encourage them to speak up for your community. This has more power than you realize.

Day 5: What’s your favorite cleansing method? #witchmadness

Open a window, clean & organizing my workspace, and finish with some sage spray or lighting a candle.

I also make sure to dust or sweep the corners where stagnant energy accumulates, & sort through my junk drawers.

Card Analysis of the Day: King of Wands

This personality type usually drains my limited energy reserves as a water sign, but I have always admired their willpower & ability to hype up their followers. I can usually spot them a mile away.

Day 4: What’s your experience with spirit communication? #witchmadness

I began a mediumship course Sept '24. It drastically shifted my relationship to Spirit. I more easily distinguish b/t what's mine vs someone else's & what is anxiety vs intuition. The communication has grown subtly over time.

Day 4: How do you interpret reversed cards? #witchmadness

If the card has a lot of energy behind it, a reversal tells me to tap on the breaks & reflect.

If the card is typically positive, a reversal tells me to look for how I am blocking abundance.

Often, I go with instinct or flip the meaning.
