The weekly post is not a reading at all. It's a look at the energetics, and an emphasis on practices that work for me, with links to those providers.

And just like that... I'm bunkering in for the weekend before my first day at the new position to go through the Society of the Temple @templeofwitchcraft.org , Rays III, and Merkabah III materials because there isn't any time better than the present. :)

Holy Brigid:
In these times of love and rage
And these days when hatred stalks our streets…
Strike bright metal on your anvil.
Forge us tools that we can use to fight for justice.…

Someone I have collaborated with in the past has remained silent through the whole year on social media with regards to politics.

I thought I understood.

Today they posted a link about the dangers of illegal immigrants. You know like their murderers and they do all these harmful crimes.

I'm about to enter Texas. I haven't been here since... well since the last time I drove across country to live in NYC, with a pit stop in Manassas, VA, where my then bf's family lived.

Last time I drove this route, it was a blur. This time I'm pacing myself.

I did it. I finally had the time and space to turn in my final... realizations, and art for Yellow Ray II in the Society of the Temple, Temple of Witchcraft.

Small break here in Albuquerque where I'm staying the night before continuing on to my next stop! I will have hte Sushi + Tea now. :)

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

These are scary times, no doubt. But fear is exactly what they’re counting on. This is not the moment to hide. It’s the moment to organize. Unions exist for times like these.

Witches: Call your Senators! 202-224-3121. Here's your script.
“Please oppose DHS/ICE funding without oversight, warrants, and limits on harmful tactics.” That's it. Nothing further. Hang up. Call again if you need to funnel some energy.

Abolishing ICE is the real goal. Step one is this.

Thinking of the idea that we must be careful of what we worship for some things will devour us.

I’m on the road! 🚙 This week is about Completion. How do you know when a spell is done? When the energy drops away. 📉

I had to finish the work before I had "permission to leave." Now, we work with The Pathfinder to navigate the new.

“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”"

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Donald Trump will now be the president again. A colossal failure by every Republican, Democratic, legal, corporate, and media institution got us here.
