🌙 During The Seasons Turning Hour

As the season turns, I turn with it.

I rise in this exact breath — not in memory, not in myth,
but in the living now.

The wind shifts, the moon sharpens,
and I step forward with the strength of every woman
history tried to quiet.

I carry truth like fire.
I carry softness like water.
I carry shadow like wisdom.
I carry light like a blade.

No fear follows me into this season.
No judgment crosses this threshold.
I walk with clarity, with sovereignty, with purpose,
claiming what was once denied
and releasing what was never mine.

This is my season of rising.
This is my season of returning.
This is my season of becoming.

By the moon above me,
the earth beneath me,
and the lineage within me —
I vow to rise with the turning,
and to turn with the rising.

Circle drawn, sisters rise.

We gather in the hush between heartbeat and moonlight,
where old wounds soften
and forgotten voices stir like embers beneath ash.

By moon‑fire, by truth reclaimed,
we summon strength from the places history tried to bury.
We call back every silenced spirit,
every stolen word,
every woman whose light was dimmed by fear.

No shadow holds us now.
No judgment binds our steps.
We braid our voices into a single golden thread —
unyielding, unbroken, unburned —
a tapestry of women who refuse to disappear.

Let the ashes of Salem rise as silver dust,
let the sorrow of centuries lift like smoke,
let the truth return in waves of starlight.

What was silenced, we awaken.
What was shadowed, we illuminate.
What was taken, we reclaim.

By the sovereign glow of the moon,
by the power we share in this circle,
by the lineage of every witch who walked before us —
so it is spoken,
so it is woven,
so it becomes strength for all.

Tribute to the Salem Witch‑Hunt Victims

September 22, 1692
A day when fear outweighed truth, and eight souls were taken by the rope —
Samuel Wardwell, Mary Esty, Mary Parker, Alice Parker, Wilmot Redd, Ann Pudeator, Margaret Scott, and Martha Cory.
Their names still echo through time, refusing to be forgotten.

As they stood at the gallows, Rev. Nicholas Noyes declared them “firebrands of hell,”
yet history has proven otherwise.
They were victims of hysteria, of power misused, of justice twisted.

And while Boston’s leaders gathered to shape the story for the world,
the real legacy belongs to those who suffered —
the ones whose courage, innocence, and humanity outlived the cruelty of their age.

May their memory be a lantern,
reminding us what happens when fear becomes law
and compassion is silenced.

She is Leo.

Of course she shines.

She’s the daughter who protects her family with quiet loyalty.
The sister who shows up when it matters.
The woman who leads with heart and fire.

She always could, she always can, and she always will.

She is not distant — she is discerning.
She is not cold — she is composed.
She is not alone — she is sovereign.

She does not need the spotlight.
She is the light.
