[image description: a digital art rendered in a semi realism style depicting a brown skinned, fancy shawl pow wow dancer. they sit down with their left knee propped up and their left arm resting on their knee. They have dark blue, black, and yellow colored regalia. They wear thin blue hair wraps around their braids, a yellow beaded choker, a yellow beaded headband, and blue beaded earrings with yellow accents. Their under dress has medium sleeves and is a shiny, dark fabric that glitters blue and purple in the light. a yellow shawl with a multicolored heart design rests on their right leg, with black fringes. a circular cropped image of an eastern tiger swallowtail resting on green leaves is overlaid next to the fancy shawl dancer, who's regalia and beadwork designs mimic the butterfly wings. end image description.]

Research is Devotion Friends!!
Hey, like, literally just make a playlist. Of all your favorite witchy songs. Anything. Even if they’re non witchy, anything that makes you think of your practice. Play it, and research your practice. Anything that relates to it. Deities, history, metaphysical shops nearby, Pinterest boards, my tumblr posts ;), folklore, the history of witchcraft in your area, paganism in different cultures, different pantheons. Literally anything. You spending time with your practice in any way or form can be considered your devotion. Some people don’t have the space or safety. Plus it’s fun to learn new things.
If you feel like you have nothing to research, look into Pennsylvanian Pow wowing, or Braucherei. Literally almost all of my ancestors did it. It saved my aunts life. Totally super cool stuff.

Powwow Highway (1989) - Jonathan Wacks
- You tell everybody fairy stories.
- The stories of our ancestors. How they solved problems. Often the problems never change. Nor the people.
- Yeah, well it's just too bad those stories don't tell us how to keep our reservations from turning into sewers.
- But they do.

I am attending my first powwow since I was about eight years old. And when it is time for intertribal dance, I will not only dance for myself but for Cole. I will keep his spirit alive and dance for him and wear my braids proudly. Who knows, I might even acquire a new spirit name. Yes I got a spirit name when I was eight but I don't remember what it is.

my grandfather Jimmy Phillips aka “Grandpa Polkadot” was another one of those black artists in the 60’s who got their sound and songs stolen. this is one of the many hidden shelved tracks of his that was unearthed a few years back

common windmill butterfly?

[image description: semi realistic digital drawing of a pale person with black hair in fancy shawl regalia, standing with a light smile. Their shawl is pink satin with two black ribbons sewn all along at the bottom of the hem, and white fringes. A white laminated paper titled "Red Thunderbird Pow wow" and the number "858" printed in the center of it is pinned to the shawl. The dancer's hair is wrapped in pink hair wraps and tied at the ends with pink shell, and black ferret fur dangling at the end of it. Their underdress is also pink satin, and their waist is covered with a black leather mirror belt, and the front half of the vest sits in front of their chest. The vest, moccasins, choker, and leggings have a design mimics the pattern of the butterfly wings. They wear a black eagle feather behind their head. end description.]
(send me a butterfly or moth species and I'll draw a fancy shawl dancer inspired by it)
