The astronomical date of Samhain & Makahiki is November 6 this year, which is when the Pleiades or the Makaliʻi star cluster rises in the sky to mark the winter months, wet season & new year. #Pagansky #Animism #IndigenousPractices

Do you want to play? Name a book that changed your life?

For me, it was the first book I ever read. Whatever that book was, it set me off on a love of reading. Which in turn, gave me a love of travel, a yearning for adventure, the belief in all things are possible 📖 💚

1. The Mayfair witches books by Anne Rice.
2. The mists of Avalon
3. She still lives: A Novel of Tibet
4. A mutant message down under.

All of these books, I read as a young adult from high school to my early 20s that are the most memorable and influenced my spiritual journey.

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating.

Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape.

Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

You know you’ve been watching too many scary movies when you get in your car at night and the first thing you do is look in the back seat to make sure nothing is there. 🤣 #Spookyseason
