    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    I am honestly shocked by many of these responses. To me it kinda went like this; "Hey! Maybe we should see how the Native Americans see thanksgiving, since they are a huge part of it's history." "Nah, I think only our white version and perspective should be considered." Like for real? Are...

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    How ignorant. Do you really think they are not being screwed over today? Besides the other poster bringing up this, I found all this pretty quickly: 5 Ways The Government Keeps Native Americans In Poverty Trump challenges Native Americans’ historical standing Native Americans' sovereignty is...

    Bloody Religion?

    What's so "savage" and "primitive" about blood offerings? Those words reek of Ethnocentrism.

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    It's still happening, the crimes against Native Americans. Hell someone just on the first page of this topic linked to an article alluding to that. One of the videos I saw when deciding which one to share for this topic, a native woman pointed this out, that it DOES make a difference because of...

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    A lot of you replying that it isn't or shouldn't be about mourning, are entirely missing the point which is to see this from a Native American perspective. It does for Natives, based on my experience with the ones that have been in my life. It isn't for white people, but it is for Native...

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    None of this has any relationship to history or reality it's just a bunch of whitewashing. Did you even read any of the two articles or watch the video before regurgitating those narratives?

    Incest. Why Not?

    The topic of incest, at least "cosmic incest" so to speak (I want to write on this some time but it's a difficult topic to talk about), I am interested in (no lie). However incest between people, er, that's a different story.

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    I should also mention that I was engaged to a woman who was part native american too at one point and was familiar enough with her roots that she could speak Navajo fluently, and she wasn't quite a fan of thanksgiving either and she was also an influence on how I started to see the holiday...

    Thanksgiving as a day of Mourning

    For parts of my childhood, I was raised by my late grandmother who had an affinity for the Native Americans and their beliefs. This thanksgiving, I found myself thinking about her, and the things about them she taught me. This lead me to come across what some Natives had to say about...

    What are You Doing for Thanksgiving?

    Contemplating how Native Americans feel about it, after seeing a native woman speak about how it's a day of mourning for them. Since moving no family is around anyway, so might as well take time to take in another perspective.

    Christmas recital cancelled not to offend other cultures

    Ya I don't believe this, the "facts" in this is probably twisted to high heaven to fit a narrative.

    Trump ready to begin drawdown of troops at US-Mexico border

    Would be nice; I'm over 100 miles away and I can literally smell how bad the air quality is this morning due to it when I ran to get milk just down the street. A lot of central Cal is under an "unhealthy" air quality alert.

    Trump ready to begin drawdown of troops at US-Mexico border

    Even in light of him mocking Navy Seals, not honoring the troops on Veteran's Day? I saw posts online of vets feeling disgusted at his suggestion that troops should open fire on the caravan, among the many other things he has said over his presidency now and in the past. Granted a lot of that...

    Trump ready to begin drawdown of troops at US-Mexico border

    I seriously hope this is a joke. First of all, they need to apply for asylum at a port of entry as per law, they need to be in the US, so this idea doesn't even make sense within it's own narrative. They can't be kept out as they are applying to enter legally. I hadn't thought of that, sounds...

    Bloody Religion?

    Blood is a regular part of my practice, such as in this sigil I recently made. That's a crude protection sigil I made a while ago. Hadn't made it in ages and accidentally made it too small so did the best I could. Detail is missing a lot of detail due to that (plus it had been a while since I...

    God And Human Sacrifices

    You do know the ancient Kāpālika's were notorious for cannibalism right? More to the point, even in it's day they were very taboo and their use of Kapalas (skulls) came from the literal and or metaphorical killing priests and then using their skulls as begging bowls as penance. It was even said...

    What century would you prefer to live in?

    I was about to go with something along these lines too. To the future!

    God And Human Sacrifices

    Wait, why? I am not advocating or supporting or defending the breaking of the law, but in times and places where it was legal, even part of the society, I see nothing inherently wrong about it. The ancient world killed people for any manner of arbitrary or weird reasons. It's no more cruel than...
