Patriarchy has given us many beliefs.

The belief that we must control everything is one of the biggest. We have been taught that we should control nature, women’s bodies, people of color, our emotions, our desires, and more.

As I age, I have come to understand that the need for control is not necessary.

The dark moon is upon us. Her voice echos and resonates from the deepest, darkest depths of my soul. Her rich, deepening tone can be heard by those who find comfort under her thick black cloak. If we choose to accept her invitation, we will find ourselves wrapped in her warmth. BUT, her warmth is not readily given. You can only come to know her warm after you have come to know her cold embrace. No, this is not a horror story, I will tell. This is a personal story – one only you can muster. It is one that is overflowing with the soreness you bring to the table. And Yes, many a discomfort you will uncover as the dark lady wraps you in the cold still night, but… with each layer discovered, you will grow stronger. As each dark veil is lifted and moved aside, you will know healing, clarity, and peace.

This shows the massive creative ability of humanity. We did not get to this level of evolution by wallowing in our misery and giving up. We got here through realizing that we are resilient and capable.

Recently as I browsed my newsfeed on Facebook, I came a crossed a post in a popular Witch group. This post was an article written by Nathara (I love her name BTW) from CrowSong, deliberately shaming self-published authors, calling them “Fake Witchy Authors.”

Within nature, we can learn and grow. She is patient and takes time to sincerely, and deeply know us. We can exist without ridicule. We are not falsely judged and wrongfully sentenced. We are protected. We are fulfilled. Here we can become whole.
All of these gifts are at our fingertips. Just step outside and open your mind and heart.
