' I have not found a single professional as regards dating, sexuality, or intimacy who will talk with us about sex trafficking.
Almost every attempt I have made, especially with professionals in Austin Texas, has resulted in blocked contact or no response despite profound efforts over long periods of time.
What's up?
Would anyone like to say? I don't want to speculate.
Holy cow, necessary conversation.
.
How on Earth does any survivor of sex trafficking ever alert their community to the danger?
It appears that it never happens, no one has planned for it, and no one wants to.
My response to this is Are you kidding? Just at the moment.
What exactly am I missing?
.
You, too. What are you missing?
Will anyone on Facebook see or respond to this post?

XVII Stars ~ Spider Woman (Reversed)
Hopi Goddess of Thought and Creation
Small things hold the Earth to Heaven.
In the high desert of the American Southwest, Spider Woman is revered as the creator of the world and benefactor of her people. In the mesas of the Hopi, her name is Kokyangwuti (pronounced similar to koh-kyang-woo-tee). For the Pueblo, she is S’ts’tsi’naku (tse-che-nako). She is called Thinking Woman, Old Spider Woman, and Grandmother Spider. Although she is ancient, her power of renewal is shown through her hair, dressed in the whorls of the squash blossom, the symbol of fertility. She draws light and life from darkness.
Spider Woman creates through her thought, through her vision, through the powers of clarity and consciousness, through the powers of a universe that sings inside her. She creates the stars by spinning a web, lacing it with the precious dew, and tossing it into the sky. She creates the stars to shine upon her people in the darkest night. She arranges the constellations to show her people there is meaning in creation. A single star in the sky may appear a small thing, but be significant in its relation to another, through the patterns they make together, and in the feelings the expanse of a starry night evokes.
In the darkness in the beginning of time, Spider Woman is told she is too small and weak to help, yet through intelligence, persistence, and belief, she travels to and returns safely from the Lake of Fire. She succeeds in bringing light and warmth into the world where more imposing animals try and fail. In another tale, she keeps the rising sky from leaving the world entirely by spinning web lines day and night to tie heaven to earth and preserve her creation. Spider Woman saves her people yet again after the destruction of the Third World, when she opens a path through the dome of heaven and leads her people into the Fourth World, the present earth, providing hope and direction through an inner light that shines even in utter darkness.
When Spider Woman appears:
The more you reach for what inspires you, the more your purpose becomes apparent. Saving grace is at hand.
Act in alignment with your beliefs. Believe in what you want to be. Even without a clear sense of direction or a specific goal, doing small good things will illuminate your next steps.
This is not the time to tackle a large problem head on. Use subtlety, humility, and thoughtfulness in your approach. Sense the pattern that exists behind the scenes.
You are part of a network, a luminous, radiant web that connects every living being. Feel your connections, to the ones you love and to your special places on the earth. See these connections shine with clear and flowing light, light that flows through and fills you. Invoke this web in your meditations to send healing lights and energies to those in need.

Eight of Air ~ Crow Mother (Reversed)
Hopi Goddess of Initiation
Take responsibility to break through restriction.
The Hopi Crow Mother (Angwusnasomtaka) is revered as the mother of all Kachinas, the spirits that make up the natural world—spirits of living beings as well as the ancestors who have become part of nature. Kachinas have powers of rainfall, protection, and healing that the people desire, while they enjoy prayer feathers, corn pollen, and respect. Hopi rituals are mutual gift-giving ceremonies which preserve harmony in the world.
Crow Mother appears on the mesas at the first full moon of spring, initiating the yearly Powamu ceremony of purification and renewal. She comes from the San Francisco Mountains carrying a basket full of bean sprouts to the village, symbolizing new life for the community. When she comes, she sings the song of the Kachinas and their coming to this land.
Crow Mother teaches the proper way to live in community. She presides over the initiation rites of Hopi children at the age of nine or ten, instructing them in the ways of the people. She reveals the secret that the mysterious and powerful Kachinas who appear among them are their elders, masked and costumed. Shown behind Crow Mother are her whips made from the blades of the yucca plant. They stand between her and the child’s return home. The children do not yet know that home will not be the same, because they will have changed. The initiate will be whipped, four strokes, the only time in their lives the children are ever beaten. They must face their fear, they must face surprising pain, they must accept knowledge and the shattering of their childhood illusions. When they do, they are rewarded with a prayer feather and a meal. Then the new young adults are reunited with their community and welcome to join the sacred kiva societies.
When Crow Mother appears:
You are not strengthened by remaining isolated.
To step out of a stuck situation, you need to step up. Face what has been holding you back. Recognize the truth when you hear it. Self-centered and childish fancies impede your participation in a larger world.
Learn the lessons offered by the situation. It will take some discipline, but your future need not be colored by old disappointment or current disillusionment.
Create a prayer stick. Find a stick on a walk. Wrap it with colored yarn, using from one to four colors, repeating your intention with each winding. Tie on stones, shells, and feathers. Give the prayer stick to the earth and sky by leaving it outside in a special place. Leave it, walk away, and do not look back. Trust your prayer will be heard.
