You have stolen our birthright
Stripped us of our heritage
Hidden the truth or else
Destroyed those who sense your lies
But I see you
And I will reclaim what is rightfully mine
So hear me, spitting my furious defiance
See me casting off your chains
And fear me
For now I know
That your control
Is far from absolute.

Witchy fedi or else anyone who had ideas...

I'm attempting to restore memories that have been stolen from me. Whether actually stolen or suppressed by myself I like, don't know. But it's a weird thing. I'm missing most of an entire place I lived, and okay... there are other weird patchworks that seem to have filled gaps or holes. I only noticed when I really looked at those memories and realized they were of things that could not have happened. They feel "newer" than they should, if that makes sense?

So one, anyone else have this experience? And I guess two, ideas for trying to pull thr true memories back out?

Allyson Shaw's Missives From The Verge

An invocation for tonight's full moon:

We rise, and magic rises with us.
We rise, and our power rises with us.
We rise, and the old gods rise with us.
We are awakening.
Magic is returning.
The weave is repairing.
The ways are reopening.
Together in hope
We create our future.
Across the worlds, our voices resound.
As we speak it, so may it be.

The full moon is Saturday.

Whether you are witchy or you revel in the spells of science, you are free to join us in spirit, this circle of unbinding.

Take a moment, Saturday night. Imagine what it might be like if we had the power to shift the balance. If the magic of our shared histories, those patterns spanning thousands of miles, those stories with parallels unexplained, meant something.

Imagine this world and add magic. With hope restored. Let yourself feel the joyful tears of the promise of a brighter future.

And add your voice to the discordant, beautiful harmony of those of us who believe we can fix it.

You don't have to believe. You only have to hope.

I, we, hope to feel you there.
