🪶In our Elder Wisdom ritual, I always draw a card that offers medicine to orient us toward liberation in our field of practice. This time, I pulled to the "Harvest" card; it was much-needed Earth medicine in Pisces season.
🪶This is the ancestral wisdom that came through: Although it may seem hard to believe, we are living in a season of harvest. As we face empires of domination, harm, and oppressive systems, we are harvesting the fruits of generational movements toward collective liberation. Our tools of resistance and the fractals of healed realities we exist within are part of the harvest, as are the new tools blooming in the imaginations and hearts of those inspired to root themselves within lineages of love and liberation.
🪶Pulsing rhythms and echoes of call and response between grief and grace, joy and heartbreak, and life and death punctuate the harvest season. Our participation in this harvest enables our collective survival in what ancestor Lorde calls "the mouth of the dragon." To that end, each of us is responsible for giving back every drop of nourishment we receive from the harvest and then some to ensure future kin will be nourished.
🪶Tend the soil by engaging the world and one another with love, especially when you have every reason not to.
🪶May your words be cool water for the seeds of liberation. May the garden spade of your actions uproot what is invasive to your soul's soil. May old thought patterns become compost, and may the light of your spirit shine like the sun coaxing emergent and generative realities out of their protective seed coats of dreaming and into the mystery of being. May your life be the most prolific seed of liberation you cast.
