The path of druidry is closed to none, nor is it open only to those of a certain bloodline. Anyone saying otherwise is a white nationalist in druid's clothing.

Worldwide colonizer logic be like:

-"find" land
-forcibly expel people on the land you found
-centuries later, make a historical marker about people group who used to be there (which still exists)
-do not invite them back
-profit

This is both

Today is Roma and Sinti Holocaust Memorial Day, in memory of the approximately 500,000 lost to the Porajmos across Europe.

No nazis. No fascists. Never again.

I understand I've been harping on the political side more recently, but earth-based spirituality MUST be political or it is without teeth. Those who venerate the spirits of trees and rivers and mountains MUST be honest with ourselves about the effects that capitalist "society" has had on the existence of such. Capitalism only knows growth, like a virus, like a cancer. It is inherent within the very fabric of the system to devour resources like the land, the very resources that are a core part of our craft and religious beliefs.

Do you respect the fair folk and the mounds they inhabit? Do you revere the sprites and the streams they frequent? Do you follow the witch-mother and her riders in the skies? You cannot do this and support those who unthinkingly bulldoze and pollute their residence for profit.

To be druidic and have any backbone at all IS TO BE ANTICAPITALIST.

Good Saturn's Day.

I sit on the very edge of terror for the direction things are going in, and the deep hope that it is all temporary, that we are coming to the edge of something new. The massive public uprising against ICE raids, against genocide by governments across nations, against corporate greed, all points to me that we have learned something from the past, even if the repeating of the cycle itself was inevitable.

Can we actually break the cycle?
