Stunning read, Simon. Woah.

This:, "No amount of sage smoke can prepare you for this." Haha! So good.

And, this: "Ragnarok isn’t an uplifting tale. But it ends with one important lesson: we must be good to each other. Despite the horrors unfolding across the world, despite the darkness that blocks out the sun and casts us all into shadow from time to time, the story tells us clear as day: if we’re going to survive this, we must hold on to love. "

Amen.

Thanks so much for reading Tara. Truly appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad its resonating for you.

And yea- thinking about my last "Eclipse Festival" experience–all the attempts at New Age neo-shamanic ceremony seemed like throwing a glass of water on a wildfire. The vibes will be off because they are SUPPOSED to be! :P

Potent reminders here. I have been reflecting too over the Easter story. Yes, Life rose again, in a transformed way, but not until a total acceptance and enactment of death first occurred.

Indeed. Do you find your contact with natural laws and systems and indigenous knowledge has helped you get closer to that acceptance?
