Winter Moon

“This winter moon is singing songs of ice and storm, and I, a weary witch without a dream, am taking to my cottage of stone.

Here, may I meet those unseen Others who know me best, and may they drum the old year to death in a rhythm my deeper soul remembers.

May they circle ’round my haunted birthing bed and bid me breathe with the force of ten thousand northern winds as this new year crowns slowly from between my blood-wet thighs.

May they bring me gifts of snakeskin, antler, and wolf bone and tell me tales of holy stars and midnight wandering.

May they tend the fire while I labor long into the night, and may they bear witness to this, my initiation as myth-dweller, my wilder resolutions. . . .

I lay to rest what was, and I welcome what comes. I drum skin back onto my bones and sing the blood to well and warm in my veins. When this dawning year takes its first breath, surely, I will be ready.”

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
