“Territory: our body, our spirit” Declaration in support and solidarity with the communities of the Amazon

We: women, lesbians, transvestites, trans, indigenous, peasant, Indian, black women, Afro-descendants, community, villeras, urban, working, Latin American and the world, come together to repudiate the genocidal fire of the Amazon in Brazil.

The Amazon is the beating heart of life itself - which has millions of forms but is only one - vital organ of the world: it is the place where a force of the cosmos, the sunlight, is transformed into much of the air we breathe almost All forms of life on the planet. The Amazon is the place where the minerals are made earth and the earth is supported thanks to the networks that weave its centenary trees in its very bosom that bubbles large and small beings along the rivers. The Amazon is the place where rivers sprout from sources that millions of years ago lie beneath kilometers of rocks and give them the moisture that they need to live the earth and trees and their thousands, millions of animals and plants. The Amazon is the place where life makes itself and makes us with its air, its humidity, with its regulation of climates. The Amazon is the home, the source of life for hundreds of indigenous peoples who, in turn, protect it from the depredation of capital, of the capitalists, the peoples that protect the water of today and of the future, the food that many of We eat.

The Amazon and its inhabitants are the ancestral resistance to human imbecility, to the criminal anthropocentrism that revolves around, of course, the masculine universal. The Amazon is being exterminated by the direct action of extractivist capitalism.

We do not accept the violence or the deaths to which the indigenous companions are being subjected and the communities that have lived for centuries in mutual care with the jungle and with all the non-human beings that inhabit it.

We: women, lesbians, transvestites, trans, indigenous, peasant, Indian, black women, Afro-descendants, community, villeras, urban, working, Latin American and the world are grateful and support the struggles of the Amazonians of more than 130 peoples who left in the First March of Indigenous Women of Brazil to denounce the increase in deforestation in the Amazon by 67% since the arrival of the terrorist-extractivist-patriarchal government of Bolsonaro. With the motto “Territory: our body, our spirit”, the march denounced the urgency of the care of the living, of the forests and of the water, and demanded the cessation of sexist and racist violence against them and children.

The First March of Indigenous Women gives an account of a new type of struggle for the territory, also understood as the planet we inhabit and against the capitalist-extractivist-patriarchal causes of climate change. We have also seen the strength of the Margaritas March, which a few days before, brought together rural workers, the forest and the waters of all Brazilian states.

We, these feminized bodies that we are, reject violence and the colonial extermination of what exists and we thank our Amazonian and peasant sisters because their struggle is our struggle.

We know that businessmen, fazendeiros and their agents caused the fire. They seek to deforest the forest and displace communities to extend the agricultural and livestock frontier and favor the extractivist and genocidal accumulation of agribusiness. We understand that it is a form of atrocious discipline, an unbridled response to the energy that managed to enliven and lift throughout the world the march of indigenous women, guardians of the jungle and the insurgent forms of existence it houses.

"When we defend our territories, our bodies and our spirits, we are also defending the lives of the other peoples that inhabit this planet." So said several

of the women who walked the streets of Brasilia with their children: "it is in the communal life that a dignified life can be sustained". With them and for all, we call on feminist organizat

ions around the world to demonstrate and demand that the necessary measures be taken to stop the fire.

I am feeling this hard after reading this yesterday:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html

It’s very long, but it gives the background in very readable story form of the history of the awareness of climate chaos and how we got to the point in the conversation we are at now - and how often it was taken seriously, but not.

Now, the question that is absolutely basic for all human beings is, “What have you left out?”

The Common Poppy, also known as the Field Poppy or Corn Poppy, probably came to Britain with the first Neolithic farmers. Growing about 30 cm (1 ft) high with flowers of rich scarlet, each plant produces an average of seventeen thousand seeds, many of which will lie dormant for years in the earth before springing into life.

The card shows a Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) growing on a hot Midsummer’s Day. In the distance we see a round barrow with its entrance open, symbolizing both tomb and womb: death and the Mother Goddess.

Upright Meaning   Like the best of mothers, the Poppy combines vigour and tenderness in the most beautiful way. They seem to disappear forever, then one season, as if out of the blue, Poppies can return to a hillside or field to astonish us with their beauty. This card may suggest the reappearance of someone or something that you thought you had lost forever.

Alternatively, it may indicate that a quality or feeling you felt you could no longer access will become available to you again. Sometimes things have to be forgotten or hidden for a while before they can return like a new dawn to surprise us. And, in doing so, a redemption occurs. Just as we speak of redeeming an investment that has matured in value out of sight, so we can sometimes redeem a situation or relationship by forgetting it, letting it go, or simply not attending to it for a while, so that it has a chance to grow. It takes skill to know when to pay attention to something and when to leave it alone. Some situations require action, vigilance and even confronting; others require forgetting or ignoring. Raising children often requires us to know when each of these strategies is best.

Reversed Meaning   Any quality in excess can have a negative effect. Selecting this card reversed may mean that you risk being seduced by the apparent benefits of being anaesthetized to the difficulties of life. There is a reason why we have the psychological defence of denial, and we all need to protect ourselves at certain times from the harshness and pain of being in the world. But, in the end, we need to be able to find a source of comfort, well-being and protection that is rooted in our essence or our spirituality rather than in an external agent. Chronic pain or certain other disturbances may need to be treated with medication, but there is a distinction between the valid use of substances for medical reasons and addictive self-medication or sedation.

The Flower of Life and Death

So delicate are the petals of a Poppy that you can’t pick them as a flower for display. No-one is sure of the common Poppy’s origin – it is as old as agriculture and has sprung up wherever the soil has been tilled. Poppy seeds have been found in Twelfth Dynasty Egyptian tombs and archaeologists have found traces of the Common Poppy’s relative, the Opium Poppy, in sites in the western Mediterranean dated to 4000 BCE.

The Poppy’s blood-red colour combined with its seeds’ uncanny ability to remain dormant in the ground for decades – only to reappear as a blaze of crimson – led to its natural association with ideas of death and rebirth, and the fertility of the Mother Goddess. Before the introduction of herbicides, Poppies grew among the corn, further reinforcing this connection with fertility, and with the harvest and cyclical rebirth.

The Opium Poppy arrived in Britain later than the Common Poppy but, due to the climate, produces negligible amounts of narcotic. Opium was treasured by the Persians, Greeks and Romans for its powerful painkilling effect, and was often combined with Mandrake. Both these plants would have been traded between mainland Europe and the cooler regions of Britain, and may well have been important ingredients in the medicine bags of early Druid healers.

Centuries later the Physicians of Myddvai used an anaesthet
