πŸ•― NEW VIDEO: Rite of Communion 2024

For the 6th installment of my Wheel of Revolutions series, we're continuing our journey through the Underworld by celebrating the dead and opening ourselves up to connecting with those that dwell on the other side. With the aid of a mental Safe Room I walk you through creating, or your own personal or traditional practices, let's take some time at the end of this month to learn and grow via our interactions with what usually remains unseen.

PART 1 - OPENING (Oct 29th)

PART 2 - CLOSING (Nov 1st)

As always, if you're new to my Wheel of Revolutions project, you can check out the full playlist here.

🌎 YouTube Recs for Indigenous Peoples' Day

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

Today I'm highlighting two free PBS channels available on YouTube where you can learn about Native American history, culture, and experiences.

#1 - PBS Origins: Self-described as the home of "inclusive, intersectional history content", this channel features a series called A People's History of Native America, which covers "the current social climate in Native America and the factors that have shaped contemporary circumstances." Watch here.

#2 - PBS Voices: This channel describes itself as "dedicated to documenting our shared human journey, and helping us understand each other a little bit better." Here you'll find a series called Sovereign Innovations, which focuses on modern Native culture, societal influences, and the titular innovations. Watch here.

πŸ‚ NEW VIDEO: Rite of Descending 2024

May as well drop my video updates here too!

The Rite of Descending, part 5 of my Wheel of Revolutions 2024 series, is now live on YouTube if you're into that sort of thing!

The Wheel of Revolutions is my personal take on a cycle of seasonal ritual celebrations, in the style of the Gardenian Wheel of the Year and its derivatives. I've been learning as I go how I want these to work, and while the beginning was super rough I daresay I'm prouder of it with each video I make. This time, we welcome our transition into the Night Side of the year with a short meditation centering on the imagery of the Solar Barque and the sun's descent into the Underworld.

You can listen to the latest video here, and if you want to check out the entire Wheel 2024 so far, I have a playlist for that!
