I've said it before and will say it again: the recognition of human as equal to nature requires not only the recognition of human as animal but of animal (as with all things, "living" and not) as divine. Chimpanzees dance at rainfall. Elephants recognize and celebrate moon cycles. Crows hold vigils for the dead. To properly place ourselves in the context of the world around us we must remove the colonialist idea of divinity and spirituality as something "above" the natural world.
No.
Wildness is next to godliness.

This isn't really a piece of druidic wisdom in any way but I definitely think the "gandalf big naturals" meme captures the spirit of Odin far better than any vikingbro meme has ever accomplished.
Good Saturn's Day. America's most recent winter storm has littered our local ground in a sheen of white. Take some time today to acknowledge the season AND get a good midday nap in.
Good Moon's Day.
I have been slow even on this channel to make politics a central factor of the message. But that is ridiculous. Capitalism within its very core, despite those who claim it as being "natural", fights against all natural tendency of humankind. The body is tired when it needs to be done with work. Yet the capitalist work day is 8 hours, pushing past any reasonable end time for work in nature. Interacting with the forest and trees and non-human-made world naturally causes the body to destress and yet we are expected to sit in cubicles and buildings all day. And even when we are in buildings we are expected to focus entirely on work instead of the natural desire to talk and dance and eat when we are around others. There is nothing natural about capitalism or the contorted, warped forms of agriculture, creation, and so-called "civilization" it has birthed.

The state only arches its back when it is losing control. The people are seeing through the illusion of domestication and civilization. Earth-based spirituality is returning. Narratives are being questioned. They cannot convince the people that capitalism and gender are natural, and so they must be imposed.
You are animal.
Remember it.
