They still don't know how many people or who was held (or continues to be held) in the horrific outdoor prison disgustingly called "Alligator Alcatraz". Reading this, I want to throw up.
![A "2x2 cage-like structure... [an] extremely small space that prevents sitting, lying or changing position" has dimensions startlingly reminiscent of those the Senate documented in the black sites. The major difference is that in Florida, the Small Box is exposed to the elements and constructed as a barred cage, whereas in Catseye, it was a closed structure inside the larger closed structure of the black site. And in Florida, the box is used as punishment. According to one of the Alligator Alcatraz survivors in the Amnesty report, people were put into the box simply for alerting the guards to someone's need for medication. "They were taken to 'the box' and punished for trying to help me," the person told Amnesty.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4jqzx7do7en65rn63vhblh2j/bafkreigptczwutq57s46sh27m5txe2d43zquzqxkwc3356w72ixxenvx2i@jpeg)

Spending the day grinding natural dyes for the taper candles I want to make later this week. Why buy synthetics when nature makes the most beautiful colors all by itself? 🥰

I have a theory that the best predictor of long term relationships is whether your partner supports your changes or clings to a static version of you. When I met my hubs, I was* straight, neurotypical, atheist, wanted kids, & my biggest focus was a high-powered DC career.

So, I've been doing shadow work for a month or so, reading, mediating, doing rituals, etc. A smaller yet important vice I'm working on is my impulsive book buying. This is extra hard because right now I'm going through a book every few days. Anyway, the deity I'm working with most is #Hekate... 1/4

Working on the deity section of my grimoire and having so much fun with it. Does anyone else basically turn their grimoire/book of shadows into a scrapbook? 😅 #witchsky

For everyone going through it right now, I wanted to share two glimmers from the shadow work book (Dark Goddess Craft) that I'm currently working through. On the left are cleansing rituals you can undergo w/ Badb (The Morrigan). I'm going to try these in the next week or two! On the right... 1/2

I'm engaging with shadow work for the first time at the urging of Hekate, so I spent forever looking for a journal to guide me through it. I really struggle with stream-of-consciousness journaling, so I was hopeful I'd find something else. This book is AMAZING. It takes you through... 1/2

I did a big one since it was my first/Samhain. Although the $4 willow bundle at Trader Joe's made the wreath weaving super easy!
And that cracks me up. That totally vibes w/ my graveyard oracle experience I told you about. Here's a clue...okay slightly clearer...okay explicit, fine. 😅

This year, I used my candle scribe to carve the name of my lost loved ones into their Samhain candles. It was such a nice touch and I will definitely dress them in oil & herbs next year as well. Did you guys do anything special to welcome your ancestors home? It's still #Samhain until sunset!
