Not in my mind but the body
Feels you fully
Translations miss whole worlds
Three lines give more
Than books
Reading you on my skin
Engraved on tongue and earth
The song is loud
I am your river

Not in my mind but the body
Feels you fully
Translations miss whole worlds
Three lines give more
Than books
Reading you on my skin
Engraved on tongue and earth
The song is loud
I am your river
//eĆ³ten
Entered the space
To heal the wounded root
Deep black shards
She showed me
And deep black oozing shame
Around betrayal
I protect
The still baby born cold
The song of bodies long buried
In the snow
I see I am to join them
Curled beneath the roots and thorns
To sleep once more
Be a tree
Before the mountain
No pretending the birds always know
Reach with hair into the wind
Let the earth move you
As you drink from it
Unspool like a song your humanness
And find the thicket path
To another you
Animism is both a way of looking at life and a way of working with the world.
Animism helps us improve our creativity, family lives, love lives, work, health, emotions, environment, sense of purpose, freedom and power.
With animism in our lives, we can find the wholeness and wildness that make life joyful.
It means that we can work with the circumstances of our lives through ceremony, art in all forms, thinking expansively, being in nature, honouring our ancestors, working with spirits, divination and working directly with energy.
Practicing animism is different for everyone, and is often shaped by our cultural heritage. Sometimes, it simply looks like folk magic and other times it looks like mysticism.
The common thread is how it allows us to directly work with everything in our lives, creating real change and understanding.
