 INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE BAG OF COUNTERS IN YOUR HANDS. IMAGINE YOURSELF AT THE TIME OF YOUR IDEAL DEATH, AND CONSIDER THE SENSATIONS YOU WOULD MOST WANT TO EXPERIENCE IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHAT DO YOU SEE? 
WHAT DO YOU HEAR? 
WHAT DO YOU SMELL? 
WHAT DO YOU TASTE? 
WHAT DO YOU TOUCH?

EACH TIME YOU THINK OF SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE, PLACE A COUNTER AT THE CORRESPONDING POINT OF YOUR PENTAGRAM. RECORD EACH SPECIFIC WISH IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. 

(IT‘S POSSIBLE THAT YOU‘LL PLACE EQUAL VALUE ON ALL SENSES OR FIND THAT ONE OR TWO SENSES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR YOU!)

EACH TIME YOU THINK OF SOMETHING THAT YOU DON‘T WANT TO EXPERIENCE, TAKE A COUNTER AND CAST IT FROM YOUR PENTAGRAM. RECORD YOUR AVERSIONS AS WELL AS YOUR DESIRES.

REPEAT UNTIL YOU‘RE OUT OF COUNTERS, REVIEW YOUR NOTES, THEN DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO RESET BOTH THE PHYSICAL SPACE AND YOUR MENTAL SPACE.

Happy #SpookyMonth! I'm spending October rounding up some death doula resources, since so much of the work is either learned through direct practice or just knowing how to find legal resources online.

For October 1st, here's an adaptation of an exercise from "The Devil's Death" by Shiva Honey:

Random but in the last two days here I've felt autumness. It's hot af and humid like you're walking in soup. But the undertone is no longer summer.

What is with all the makeup demos touching the droppers directly to their skin? I thought we all knew that was asking for the crud, but it's in every ad now.

I'm always amused in mixed spiritual groups how it's always the xtians saying, 'I'm going to try mugwort for lucid dreaming' and the pagans going 'you know that interferes with medications...'

Do you smell one thing and automatically smell another despite that it isn't there? Apple/cinnamon.

Watching young women trick out their Hello Kitty mini cars and tricycles is one of the most femme-empowering things I've ever watched.

Just a reminder that Thom Tillis is personally responsible for helping to block Medicaid access to hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians, which led to 11 rural hospital closures across our state.

And now he's running away. Tracks.

Sad that in the Diddy trial ppl can't tell the diff btw a lifestyle and a crime. And the defense is counting on that.
