10 Kickass Quotes for Living Your Thanks & Walking In Gratitude...
Thanksgiving has become a hotly debated political subject among hippies & witches & pagans alike, perhaps this year more than ever, due to the courageous protests taking place over the Dakota Access Pipeline.
I decided a few years ago that, for me, Thanksgiving is no longer about Pilgrims & Indians, which weren't even Indians to begin with but rather Native Americans & devoted stewards of Mother Nature.
It is most certainly a time to honor & continue that stewardship in whatever ways we can, but I choose also to honor the tradition of gathering with family, however unlike-minded we may be, and to reconnect with the magick of gratitude.
Giving Thanks.
