This article is an excellent example of how European fairytales and folklore have been used to co-opt Indigenous cultures and spiritualities. Us witches, pagans and magickal practitioners need to be mindful and critical when following our spiritual beliefs on colonised land 💚

How early Australian fairy tales displaced Aboriginal people with mythical creatures and fantasies of empty land

From mythical Moth people, who kidnapped children, to threatening desert fairies in loincloths, early Australian fairy tales helped sanitise white settlement, expressing colonial fears.

I HIGHLY recommend the #YouTube channel Andrewism ~ an Afro-Trinidadian solarpunk anarchist. His videos offer invaluable social, cultural and political commentary on topics such as #ClimateChange, #Racism and #Colonisation, #Patriarchy, #Anarchism, #Solarpunk and #Communism while offering constructive solutions to various systemic issues. Truly inspiring and comforting content to reminds us of how capable we are in fighting back against all the struggles we face 💚

💚 Following the devastatingly divisive Voice to Parliament last October, so-called Australians (Yes and Sovereign No/Abstaining voters alike) NEED to be advocating for Treaty and Truth Telling NOW.

🔗 https://events.humanitix.com/truth-telling-and-treaty-forum

Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.

This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.

We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.

Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."

@Kabbaway
Andrew is a recurring guest host on "It could happen here" a podcast which covers politics also from a leftist/ anarchist viewpoint. But it's often a bit depressing, so be warned.
