#deathwork — Public Fediverse posts

I'm here to do an #introduction post since my nicest one went down in flames when firefish.lgbt disappeared, god rest her soul

I'm a #writer. I like to write about #grief, #QueerIdentity, #hope, #praxis, and #harm + #reciprocity. (my websites are in my links!)

I have trained as a #DeathDoula, and I engage in #GriefWork & #DeathWork with and for my best beloveds: the #LGBTQIA2S+ community.

In my spare time you can find me hyperfocusing on whatever it is that I can't stop thinking about. I love a new game, a new favorite song, a new project management solution, and thinking about my chosen family and intentional community.

I'm #pagan, I am training in an old mystery tradition of pre-Gardnerian British traditional #witchcraft. We are from a long time ago and we are doing what it takes to support, love, and keep safe the people in our communities.

I will always fight for your right to #choose. I believe this right is a fundamental human gift.

Thinker of profound thoughts & also shitposts.

#Trans #Non-Binary #GenderQueer. #Neurodivergent #Writer. #Disabled with #ChronicIllness #MCAS #EDS #POTS.

I write about #QueerIdentity, #Death, #Hope, #Praxis, & #SongLyrics at the Infinite at https://nixkelley.com. My inspiration to write usually comes when songs and poetry remind me what is true.

I currently live on Anishinaabeg land in what is called Michigan, in the lower half of the mitten, between the Great Lakes.

I am a trained #DeathDoula. I engage in #DeathWork and #GriefWork for my community, using a reciprocity model rather than a capitalist structure. I write Paths That Lead Home, essays for the dying and their loved ones. You can sign up for it at https://everonandon.com, my deathwork website.

I'm currently training in a pre-Gardnerian Celtic oathbound lineaged oral mystery tradition of #BritishTraditionalWitchcraft. I serve the community wherever I live (and wherever I can travel digitally), as a layperson for now and as clergy once I reach an appropriate level of training.

I am a #pagan #polytheist and #animist. I live in an intentional community with my #ChosenFamily, and we are learning how to do this as we go, taking inspiration from indigenous Celtic tribe-based communal living.

I'm a #gamer. My current rotation of PC games is #IXION, #MaskOfTheRose, #OxygenNotIncluded, & #LOTRO. I have a deep love for #DeathStranding #Fallout4 #ESO #Skyrim & #Frostpunk. On the Switch, I'm playing #CozyGrove #OregonTrail & #NotTonight.

I'm a #knitter & my Ravelry profile is https://ravelry.com/people/nixkelley

I am a #polyam person and I currently have two partners. I watch queer media whenever possible. I love ridiculous #paranormal media. My favorite kind of humor is dark.

#AltText is the rule: my avatar is a selfie I took, framing my face and one of my tattooed arms. I have pale skin and in this photo my hair is dark.

Bone #witchcraft post!

Do you feel humbled, coming across the #bones of a life that's gone by?

Life in the mountains means we have far more opportunity to see #death first-hand, to reach out and be taught by it.
Cities are too fast-paced for me- I do not have enough time to pull the pigeon from the road before the bus ravages its tiny body, nor to take the kitten that sickness claimed before the sanitary workers dispose of it like it was trash. I'm sure others who do #spiritwork thrive just fine there. Just not my style.

I much prefer the forest, because here, death lingers. The song thrush will melt into the earth that fed it, and its feathers may come to be the nest bed of a fresh clutch of eggs. The old fox will go to sleep in her den and wake in a different world, the snow covering her home's entrance until it's warm enough for the critters to nourish themselves on the body she left behind. We see death, sometimes invite it in- be it #hunting or culling livestock. We honour death and the life it brings.

This beautiful lady was a life. An ewe that likely bore several lives herself, before death took her. I have a special place in my heart for sheep. My people have lived alongside them for so long that maybe it's in our blood by now. She wanted to come home with me, to sit near me and the other unseen friends I keep. How could I say no?

I brought her home, meaning to dye her #skull with coffee to help the myriad textures of her bone steal the show with more contrast, but that's another post altogether.

#deathwork crew, this one's for you.

(This is a cross-post from Instagram)

Decided to finally write my ✨ first post ✨ on here, in hopes I'll like this place enough to establish myself and share things on here.

Is it just me that's incredibly picky about online spaces? It can be difficult for me to take the plunge and explore a new site or platform, and this goes doubly so for witchy/pagan/spiritual oriented places because after years of being (a queer) Greek online, I know what I'll see, and some times you just do not have the energy to get into arguments because foreigners think they know better than you your own culture. Fun stuff. Anyway. Positive thinking and whatnot. Hopefully the people here are chill!

I miss sharing informative tidbits and exchanging perspectives and methods with fellow practitioners, you know? It's nice to get to see how other cultures, other people do things, especially when you get to draw parallels and point out differences and similarities. There are good people out there, curious and respectful people who are willing to learn without overstepping boundaries and who take correction with grace. That's why I keep coming back to posting, I guess, regardless of platform. I like helping people learn.

What kind of posts you can expect from me: #divination like #cartomancy , including but not limited to #tarot and #oracle decks, #osteomancy , #scrying and #bibliomancy , #herbalism #deathwork #spiritwork #greek #myth #folklore #culture #tradition and #witchcraft oh and #polytheism of course. I'm sure some posts about textiles (knitting, weaving, etc.) will worm their way over as well.

Hopefully this is how the tag system works here, lol.
