Buzz Coil: November-December 2017
Here are some notes about recent posts from blogs on our blogroll:
HecateDemeter: Blogger Hecate’s December 21 post, “This is a Prayer for the Darkest day; This is a Prayer for Defiance,” begins:
“This is a prayer for the darkest
day; this is a prayer for Resistance.
This is a prayer for the longest
night; this is a prayer for defiance.“This is a prayer for warriors, for women who rise up, wounded,
And do what needs to be done.
Feed the animals in the frozen dark.
Make coffee in the bitter cold.
Pull on sweaters, and fingerless mittens, and socks over cracked feet.
Make five more calls….”
Hecate’s
series of meditative posts, “The Magical Battle for America,” continues (topics
in parens): December 17 (video about Harriet Tubman), December 10 (cowboy
theme), December 3 (cemetery art), November 26 (Lady Liberty), November 19
(Thoreau), November 11 (effects of January 2017 Women’s March), November 8
(Russia and US election).
