This dude’s reign really took hold. Forget the protestant reformation, witch hunting and the demonization of apothecaries and drugs themselves began with this absolute shell of a man. If you want my dissertation on this subject please stay tuned, cause I will be writing on that topic when I have time. In the mean time check out The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name by Brian C. Muraresku – this is an excellent and worthy read on a whole lot more than this, but will provide a lot of facts in this area.
But let me tell you, the shit that motherfucker constantine put in motion is still present to this day. You have to give the regime some credit for their ability recognize what specific elements to dig their hooks into in order to produce a lasting effect. I mean, this dude took what was already considered a “cult”, lured them in, appropriated the fuck out of their formula, condemned any human other than white straight men (in order to protect the bogus possession of and gatekeep the facilitation of “ultimate power” because who else would take that shit to the grave so hard – yes, not all men we know), and demonized drugs so hard that we STILL run hard at “just say no” and have piss poor knowledge about drugs due to fear and stigma. The AUDACITY. While it is impressive that it has achieved such longevity, the reality that was created in the 4th century B.C. has caused such a monumental level of death and destruction in its path it makes me sick. Would it have been worse had it not gone down this way? Perhaps. Is this the reality that we know and exist in? Perhaps. Will anything change on a large scale if the Vatican acknowledges the fact that they falsely claim to be the sole authority of enlightenment and release all of their deepest darkest secret? Probably not.
But. I live in the United States of America and I’m allowed to call bullshit on all of this and use my teeny tiny little platform to express my awe that this motherfucker is still present to this day. Witch hunts are still happening, in modern form, all over the world.
What’s different about now, though? The rise in technology and the ability to access information in real time all over the globe. On one hand, it is insane and devastating the nervous systems of our minds. On the other hand, it is providing the human race with an unprecedented view of the realities of what this motherfucker put in motion all those centuries ago.
So, in our quaint little towns, from our privileged perches here in suburban America, us witches and bitches sit ready to push back hard. The insidiousness of the same audacity that motherfucker constantine had just reared its ugly head in a sister business next to mine. Prompting me to femsplain to anyone who thinks they can “quietly” edge out those they do not understand. So, hear this:
If something feels dark to you, take a look in the mirror. Before you take action against the physical representation of the dark, ensure you are not projecting what is surely rotting within you onto the innocent. Objects are objects, plants are plants, words are words. It is the intention of the beholder to determine the harm produced by any earthly tool.
A lot of “witches” are here, educated, and are not afraid of the antiquated ignorance many possess. Many of us have had women breaking ceilings for us for centuries. Many of us have had to unpack the generational trauma embedded in us from small minded men with egotistical ideals driven by fear manifested as control. We are old enough now and free enough now, thanks to many sisters who came before us, to stand steadfast. Last month it’s a local food shop owned by a person of color in a white town, this week it’s a local shop run by a woman selling rocks and plants, next week we invite your congregation to open your minds and sit with the discomfort of your own darkness. You may be surprised by what you find there.
Peace be with you. And with you, as well.
