Today's Card
Hag of Air ~ Dhumavati (Upright)
Hindu Widow Goddess
What appears unlucky becomes something sacred.
Dhumavati is the Hindu smoke goddess, the widow goddess. Covered in ash, she dresses in rags gleaned from the cremation grounds. There is a time when she lives with the god Shiva in the Himalayas. She is hungry and asks him for food. When he refuses, she swallows him and widows herself. The widow has a difficult, disrespected social position among her people, but the hunger of the goddess is only satisfied by eating the god who contains the entire world.
Dhumavati is assertive and determined to go her own contrary way. She is associated with the ugly aspects of reality, with hunger, thirst, and need. She represents all that is inauspicious. She is Shakti without Shiva, the goddess without god, a strange figure in the well-paired world of the Hindu. She sits in a cart without a horse, as a widow is thought to have nowhere to go.
Dhumavati is worshipped by widows and bachelors, by people who renounce the world, and by sorcerers and witches. Her companions are the unlucky, unclean, carrion and garbage eating crows, the symbols of black magic and dark forces. She is especially knowledgeable in the use of spells for the ending of things, for death and separation. Her tool is the winnowing basket. With this she separates what is necessary from what is not, what is nourishing from what is deceiving, what is true from what is false. She sees through the smoke of outer forms to comprehend the inner essence. She has the power to take what appears unlucky, sanctify it, and turn it into a blessing.
For Dhumavati is in truth a wisdom goddess. When the seeker overcomes distaste at her ugliness and fear of her misfortune, the goddess becomes a divine teacher who reveals the secrets to obtaining ultimate knowledge beyond all illusion.
When Dhumavati appears:
It is easy to count blessings that everyone recognizes, not so easy when fortune appears contrary. Look for opportunities to change your perceptions. When something you took as given you now see to be untrue, create a different definition in its place.
Find the hidden blessings in the situation. Claim a weakness as a badge of courage. Set yourself free through acceptance of what is imperfect or strange.
Build a fire big enough to burn something that represents a trauma from your past. Be naked, pure, alone, and focused. Watch the object burn, watch its form become smoke. Smoke can twist around, it can linger or dissipate. Inhale anything you want to keep of the experience. Exhale all you are ready to see gone. If it is necessary, ask for justice on your behalf. Entrust the matter into the hands of the goddess, and be done.
Pay attention when crows speak. When you hear them, consider what human illusion they are mocking. Laugh with them when you can. Find crow feathers & set them around your home for luck. '

“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well.
It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.
Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person.
But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.
Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument.
That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change."

' Getting ready for another zoom workshop, What the Medical Community Needs to Know About Sx Trafficking.
Survivor centered care is a necessity. When the medical community learns from those who are making money to "save" us...the medical community is learning how to work with cops and greedy NGOs...oftentimes learning the same harmful practices those organizations are participating in.
They are NOT learning about what survivors need.
We need to shift the narrative to the reality of what survivors need and want...because the funding is there...but the resources we want are not available to us survivors.

' “And do what?” said Buck, baffled.
“Do?” said Harrison. “Do? That’s just it, my boy. All of the doors have been closed. There’s nothing to do but to find a womb suitable for an adult, and crawl into it. One without machines would suit me particularly.”
“What have you got against machines?” said Buck.
“They’re slaves.”
“Well, what the heck,” said Buck. “I mean, they aren’t people. They don’t suffer. They don’t mind working.”
“No. But they compete with people.”
“That’s a pretty good thing, isn’t it—considering what a sloppy job most people do of anything?”
“Anybody that competes with slaves becomes a slave,” said Harrison thickly, and he left. '

' This course is an experiential, online course for care workers as broadly defined with an emphasis on mental health/psychology but also including medicine, bodywork and other healing modalities, home and nursing health aides, etc.
Guided by four denials (e.g., denial of systemic violence, denial of unsustainability, denial of entanglement and denial of the magnitude of the challenges) we will focus specifically on how care work and care workers are complicit in each, and how psychology and wellness keep systems like modernity, capitalism and colonialism on life support.
We end each session and the course with gesturing toward a decolonial care work that rekindles our connection with the planetary metabolism rather than individual wellness, transforms our relationship to pain and grief, and supports us in becoming better elders and ancestors to our human and other-than-human relations.
