I have been researching the witch hunts. It makes me cry. They estimate that millions of European mothers were raped, tortured and murdered for things as simple as not becoming pregnant after a few years of marriage. Earth People and Original Practitioners of ancient ways of life dismissed as "pagans," "heathens," "witches." To know that these were the very herbalists and elders who carried the knowledge of how to be interdependent with nature, brings a tear to my eye.
I see pale skinned people differently now. I can see their ancestors in their eyes. I can see their songs, their ceremonies, their sacred mountains, their languages going extinct due to Roman expansion and their mothers. I see the massacres, the torture, the rape, the illusion. I can see all the little boys and men who watched their women get hurt feel so helpless. Blaming themselves for things they could not have stopped. I see myself, as I cannot speak my mother tongue either.
It has been so healing for me to see these mothers, even when they are being burned alive.
May their souls forever rest in peace and may we remember where these processes of colonization started. May we stop these cycles here and now.
In our native communities we say that a nation is not defeated until the women's hearts are on the ground. This is why the dark targets the women- they are the spinal chord of society, they are the source of life and the first teachers of the children.
I pray for those people who are working to reindigenize the European narrative, recovering what was lost and who visit these sacred mountains that lost their people, and therefore their prayers, to slaughter. I was very blessed to visit a sacred mountain in Geneva and she gave me many blessings and taught me many things. They still work! They just need to be lit up again...
