We change society by transmutation - shifting the value system. One person at a time; beginning with ourselves:
1. Know your own values.
2. Recognize the values of your culture, government/systems, and local community.
3. Open dialogue to share, explore, and understand.

You don't have to have it all figured out and put together. In fact, if you do, I am honestly worried for you.
Sure it might be easier to follow the set path, but then what was the point of drawing breath at all?
Life is messy.
You are singular.
Embrace that chaos!

Baby WItches and folks considering work with Brigid:
A simple (tradition based) way to start would be to light a candle (e.g. a tealight or whatever is handy) for 19 nights. On the 20th night, make time to learn about or be with Brigid as She tends the flame. /|\

Shadow work is a psychological and spiritual practice focused on
exploring and integrating the unconscious or repressed
aspects of the self.
It involves examining those parts of ourselves that we may not
readily acknowledge, including negative emotions, hidden desires,
and unresolved traumas

For me personally, this was only possible after doing inner work
Releasing copious amounts of supressed fear
Those who try to manipulate me with fear (As is the low-consciousness way to control)
Find no purchase here
That's liberation 🕊

I loved it so much, I made two more this year, to have one at my desk for Her "Fire in the Head" as well as one in the kitchen (plus the larger version on my hearth-altar).

I love this little candle; it's become so easy to pause, connect with the divine, and then extend that moment from cooking to eating and even after.

Another Imbolc has come and gone; my altars have been cleaned and re-concecrated.
My home is being deep cleaned and purged as the moon wanes.
And I am re-commited to my efforts in planting seeds of change for both my own life and my community.

It's not that history repeats so much as that lessons must be learned before new things can be experienced.

Parts/shadow *integration* can't be rushed.
The body and subconscious has to process the changes
And that just takes time 🕑
Too much too fast isn't the answer, it's counter-productive
Sometimes slower is faster

Walking the path begins with seeking.
Learning wisdom from it relies on noticing.
Again and again you notice. You return to noticing, and the lessons gradually unfold.
Patiently, persistently, we grow closer to the divine Truth.

Sometimes we find ourselves striving to be understood or fending off assumptions and misunderstandings. This is a clue that we've given our power away.

I am contemplating Fehu again; seeing it from new perspectives and deepening our relationship.
The lovely thing about Runes is how many layers of secrets they hold and the cycles we must tread before we can begin to see the next.

A dark anniversary with potent lessons; I like to spend this day reflecting generally. This year, I will add some ceremony and recite a favorite invocation.

Finding your inner guide and that gift you were meant to bring into this world takes a lot of patience and silence.

Artists use lies to tell the truth and often it is the trickster who conveys the deepest truths (to those who know how to listen).

Sometimes the mundane leads you to the magickal; other times, the magickal lead to the mundane; in either case, the two are so connected in surprising, subtle, and potent ways. That is the real magick to me. /|\
