What an absolute pleasure to have hosted Ryan Skinnell for a Zoom talk on teaching public rhetoric in the second era of Trump. About 130 folks signed up--college and K-12 educators and concerned community members.
Here's what I know: WE SHOW UP, even when we are terrified, pissed, and uncertain.

Rather than magick on a national level, my guidance has been to focus on the soul of the land of our towns, states and regions, with the intention of cleansing, protection and blessing amid chaos. State birds, flowers, and minerals can be helpful allies to call on.
