Mother Earth is not a fucking white woman; we’d all be dead from neglect if she was.

Boundaries is a means of channeling energy. Not a way to stockpile privilege.

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, Mother Water, Mother Fire, Mother Air… they are ALL, if NOTHING else, WILD! WILD AS FUCK.

I trust you recognize, by Now…. in 2020, she’s reminding us.

Wild women do as they please, to quote my divination teacher, Ifasayo. Wild women don’t get the blues. And well behaved women rarely make history!

Colonizers have written all the history books they put in the modern education system. Their “well behaved” white women have oppressed from pedestals for centuries. Respectability politics has choked off whole movements of insurgent radical Black and Indigenous queer femme liberatory praxis.

But what would happened if all the rules changed?

What if WILD were the natural, the just, the true authority.

What if it became our business, as the marginalized and especially the magically inclined, to police the police, to monitor their activities, to redefine what is lawful?

Not only could we the people be wild and free… we could also be well resourced and regenerative…
