I Am Bijoux Kin Meditation

Witches and dogs make good teams. Dogs operate in a different reality than we humans. They can smell fear, money, even cancer and missing persons. They know who and what has been here by the invisible trace they leave behind. Scientists guess the dog's sense of smell is somewhere between 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than ours. I am Bijoux kin, acutely aware that there is more to be known than what meets the eye. More in existence that we can see, but we can smell the changes in a shifting ...

You are Wuchak Kin Meditation

Here’s what Witches and Woodchucks have in common: we ARE the underground. In the seed and soils that sprout a grassroots movement, we dig tunnels. In the dark where no one knows and no one sees, we dig tunnels. Brave, safe spaces for Wuchak kin. Because witches are outsiders we are on constant high alert when outside our burrows. But here under ground, away from violently mainstream ideas, we dig in. About Missing Witches Amy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast. We do eve...

You are Horse Kin Meditation

Maybe young women love horses because they can relate. Because they can be safe with each other, and ride together with wind in their manes, collaborating to temporarily escape forced domesticity or worse. But think on this: the head of an equine herd in the wild is an older mare, not a stallion. The lead mare is unambiguous in her communication, has the trust of other members of the herd, and, while her behaviour may not always win her friends, she is always respected. You are horse kin. About ...
