And as I sit with the land, this desolate, aching Earth. Even if I didn’t choose the damage, I can select the devotion that follows because this is what it means to love the land not just in spring, but in sorrow.
Leandra WitchwoodThere was a moment when I wasn’t sure I would ever publish this post. I wrote it several weeks ago in conjunction with some deep shadow work I was walking myself through. Even though these words burned inside me - raw, real, and rooted in truth, I hesitated. I feared backlash. I feared being misunderstood. I feared being seen as greedy, transactional, or unspiritual for saying what so many of us in this work already know: Witchcraft without reciprocity is spiritual theft.
