greenstormSpeaking of not making things to look forward to, I am looking forward to this course and am very curious about it. Some of my pagan friends have found it's helped them, and I'm curious about the other participants:
Land: Loss and Reconnection
“The Witch has been created by the land to act for it.”
--Peter Grey, Rewilding Witchcraft
Land is how we live. We live on the land, we live because of land, and when we die we go back into the land.
Yet land, in our modern capitalist dystopia, is often the farthest thing from our mind. Few of us even have access to land—everywhere it is fenced off, paved over, gated, polluted, and destroyed.
How did it come to this? How did the notion of private property come about? Why were so many people displaced from the land through enclosures, the transatlantic slave trade, and brutal colonization?
And what has this done to us?
In this six week online course, writer, artist, and Gods&Radicals co-founder Alley Valkyrie will lead you through the history and meaning of land, illuminate the processes and politics that caused our separation from land, and guide you to spiritual reconnection and political reclamation of the land beneath our feet.
Alley Valkyrie’s course will cover the following topics:
Week One: The Importance of Land
Week Two: Lost Land—Enclosures & Property
Week Three: Lost Land—Displacement and Colonialism
Week Four: Land—Its spirits and Peoples
Week Five: Spiritual Reconnection to Land
Week Six: Political Reclamation of Land
