Sex magic. Blood magic. Rituals. Tools. Dieties or not... the best vibes and feelings i got were in the kitchen making family recipes and honoring myself, the environment, my history, my soul.

Honor Earth, who has made you your Home. Honor Yourself and do no harm. Honor the Ancestors and Carry On.

It matters what YOU DO TODAY and we are asking yall to actually think about what you do, what you say, how you react. We are watching.

The excuses have to stop. Burying the truth instead of reconciling is what BAD PEOPLE DO so when "good Christian people" CHOOSE TO PERPETUATE THROUGH SILENCE. Damn

Hey, in response to the "not all christians are bad"

That verse in Exodus that states sins of the father onto the son.... didnt yall ever stop to think "the responsibility of my shepherding falls upon me even if my forefathers failed horribly and murdered ppl"

Yeah. It doesnt matter if ppl r good

"As a Native person who's living in the wake of a cultural genocide that nearly wiped our way of life ... off the face of this Earth, how you choose to live your life becomes a somewhat existential question," he says. "To live a life in an Indigenous way is a kind of profound thing"

Julian Brave NoiseCat's survival story is both personal and ancestral

NoiseCat is the son of an Indigenous Canadian father and white mother. After a cultural genocide, he says, living your life becomes an existential question. His new memoir is We Survived the Night.

In case ppl dont know/can't keep up- ya Bird is Dine/Hispanic but aint raised that way. My half brothers were, lol.

They encourage me, which is fantastic, to seek answers and to learn. They literally just tell me im alive and capable of learning.

Curious if other ppl do this...

Bird @birdthulu.bsky.social · 3d

Has anybody reconciled/taken back their heritage?

Asking other Natives/Indigenous

Its been on my mind heavily for years and its something im definitely not approaching lightly.

Also its amazing and terrifying how a couple of generations of trauma can cut you up. Its actually awful.

Bird @birdthulu.bsky.social · 3d

This. This as I read all the responses. This as I read the news of the day. This as I see people be mobilized over one man's death vs the hundreds of thousands that have already died....

This when I cannot reconcile the hypocrisy

This when I ask "when is it enough? When does it stop?"

Some of you still have no clue. It’s not about MY bad experience with your religion. It’s about the fact that your religion has produced, and harbors, people that want to kill me and my kind. It’s about the fact that this has been going on for thousands of years.

This! I ask questions all the time because how can I, or anybody, reconcile the reality as it is.

Because all anybody seems into is reality that "coulda shoulda aint"

Like oh it is what it is.

How is anybody of that faith not on fire for change and not out marching for it? [That's how I feel]

Yes, faith in what…

I don’t understang all their faith, but they believe in serving others, all others.

They believe in heaven.

They believe in a gentle, loving god.

They don’t try to change my mind abt christianity.

But only 2 in my long life?

Christianity does damage to believers and non.

And woe be if you grew up in it, tried to speak out...

It gets ugly. Families literally turning on each other like civil war.

And they want to divide and conquer humanity again and again like its their right.

I despise it. Why. I just cant comprehend why CHOOSE that Ugliness? Willingly choose it

Every animal has personality but when its just constant survival, one never sees it or gets to experience it.

Which makes me wonder if humanity was supposed to shepherd the earth in a way that the animals would have thrived, allowing new sentience.

But humans are too greedy for that realization

I was inquired through Reddit what i put on my stuff when I mentioned im a "wild" practitioner.

If it offends my soul I wont do it, but if my soul rejoices and I feel connected then DO IT. stop finding your religion in books and fucking experience the Holy Spirit/Creator as nature intended yall

"For the Joy I bring, may the Lord protect me"

OR

"By the Power of the Joy I bring, may I protect Thee"

This is the rough translation of the sigils I put on my yard ornaments.

Every time they get knocked down you gotta redo the intentions. But there ya go!

So people will run a vehicle into a church to open fire

Why aint anybody running vehicles into these AI centers and setting fire to them?

Being serious here. What's gunna damage society more? A failing religion? Or AI slop that targets children and is leading to suicide?
