”We are a mirror. 

We are here to see and be seen, for you to see us, 

for you to see yourself, 

for the other to see himself in our image. 

We are here and we are a mirror. 

Not reality, just a reflection. Not light, but just reflected light.

Not the road, but just a few steps. 

Not the guide, but just one of many paths which lead to the morning.” 

-Subcommandante Marcos-

”As someone who believes the earth is a living being and all of us are part of her life , I say this is wrong. Something is wrong with a system in which ten-year-olds in India works sixty-hour weeks making carpets and corporate executives make millions. Its not justifiable under any theory of economic growth or comparative advantage, its just wrong. And if we truly believe that the Goddess is every human being on the planet (and a lot of other things besides), then we owe the billions of Her who are hungry and hopeless and see no future some help, fast. /…/ We need to think about what we buy, to consider the karma that comes with a pair of Nikes or a purchase from Wal-Mart.And we need to be willing to speak for our values and take action.”

"This is how it works: Someone has a vision that arises from a fierce and passionate love. To make it real, we must love every moment of what we do. Impermanent spirals embed themselves in asphalt, concrete, dust. Slowly, slowly, they eat into the foundations of the structures  of power. Deep transformations take time. Regeneration arises from decay. Si, se puede! It can be done."

Aktivism, feminism, spiritualitet, förändring.

”Identifying as a Pagan, feminist, Witch and anarchist is possibly a way to alarm great segments of the general public, but at least it keeps me from sinking into a boring and respectable middle age."
