IT WAS WOMEN - "It was not witches who burned. It was women. Women who were seen as Too beautiful Too outspoken Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously) Who had a birthmark Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine Too loud Too quiet Too much red in her hair Women who had a strong nature connection Women who danced Women who sung or anything else, really. ANY WOMAN WAS AT RISK BURNING IN THE SIXTEEN HUNDREDS!! Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice. Children were tortured to confess their experiences with “witches” by being fake executed in ovens. Women were held under water and if they float, they were guilty and executed. If they sunk and drowned they were innocent. Women were thrown off cliffs. Women were put in deep holes in the ground. The start of this madness was years of famine, war between religions and lots of fear. The churches said that witches, demons and the devil did exist and women were nothing but trouble. As we see even today, there is often a scapegoat created, and the chaos escalated in Sweden when the Bible became law and everything that did not line up with what the church said became lethal. The Bible fanaticism killed thousands of women. Everything connected to a women became feared, especially her sexuality. It became labeled as dark and dangerous and was the core of the witch trials through out the world. Why do I write this? Because I think the usage of words are important, especially when we are doing the work to pull these murky, repressed and forgotten about stories to the surface. Because knowing our history is important when we are building the new world. When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women. To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace. It was not witches who burned. It was women." ~Fia Forsström

Trying not to panic while I wrap things up with everything surrounding the album. It’s been so much work and growing pains. Each new day as it comes. It’s all fated anyway. 🙏🏻✨🌕🐇 « Forest Green Tunnel Vision » 🎶🎹

This further solidifies my theory that exposing children to pornography is akin to molestation (and porn sites which are not verified age restricted should be charged in a class action lawsuit). Maybe not the most traumatic form of sexual abuse, I don't want to downplay how traumatic it is to be abused by a person in real life, but jusf look at how violent the crimes they commit are compared to the cases of children who were molested and then sexually abuse other children. The cases where the children viewed porn are actually far more sick and twisted. Porn is so evil it can even make male children into rapist monsters, imagine what it does to adults. Imagine what it is doing to adults who have viewed it their entire life, starting in childhood.

Why is it always, "She's mature for her age." And not "He's delayed for his age."

This man tortured and abused his wife to the point of her developing terminal cancer and eventually taking her own life. He radicalized her daughters against her and somehow even got custody. Catherine wanted all of us to share her story to raise awareness about domestic abuse. Rest in power, Catherine. ❤️
