growing up with bits of your culture, yet still with your people, is complicated. no one really tells you HOW to do things. i’ve been wanting to incorporate more personal ceremony into my life so i made this little altar full of medicine and my grandparents.

i’m sure someone real sacret will be like “don’t share photos of these things!” which i dunno i buy (culture is dynamic and honestly i need some receipts internet teachings lol) . i feel like we are all still learning how and from eachother and creating new ceremonies.

just because things move and change and look different doesn’t make them any less sacred. these teachings and call to ceremony are coming from somewhere deep within us and we gotta really go through a lot of even access what this can look like personally and communally.

anyway i just wanted to share cuz these sorts of things have to no roadmap and i wanna be open and honest about what this looks like for me incase others have felt as isolated as i have in “ceremony”.

it’s so important to hold onto the old ways and relearn what was hidden from us through colonialism but i think it’s also so important we make anew and see what our own person ceremonies look like. ***

*** this thread is for Indigenous people only please to god no new age crystal people and white lady witches.

***** when i talk about personal ceremonies i mean for us Indigenous people reconnecting with what ceremony means for us. NOT for white people to steal our sacred things and call it cErEmOnY.
