Planting Gardens We'll Never See

This speaks to the idea of investing in the long term and not just prioritizing personal short term interest to the detriment of your community. This is absolutely counter to the modern American fixation on immediate gratification, hyper-individualism, greed as a virtue, and - if you're a far-right Evangelical - the need to even plan for a future because you hope the world ends in your lifetime.
Guest Post: Cultivating Hope - Lessons From Our Fungal Elders
I am excited to share another guest post from my dear friend and go-to resource for bioregional witchcraft, Doozy. For context, this guest post was written on the day the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case was announced.
Guest Post: Cultivating Hope
I’m excited to again share a guest post from Doozy! In this post Doozy reflects on the necessity of hope in the world. She writes about things we might take for granted or not appreciate, our interconnectedness with the seen and unseen world around us, and the hope those things can provide when things look bleak or we are exhausted by everything happening. She talks about her view on hope as an important magic that takes conscious effort but can transform the world.
