Thinking about when I attended a Powwow and (though I had to step out because I got overstimulated) I remember it being so damn cool. The dancers were incredible and all the clothing was beautiful, and the stands selling art and jewelry were so cool.

I still get excited when I see someone wearing a ribbon skirt.

I recommend all white people (esp north americans) make an effort to learn about indigenous cultures and ask to help/participate where you're allowed. Listen to indigenous storytellers, attend truth and reconciliation marches, go to indigenous-lead workshops, listen to indigenous music. GO TO INDIGENOUS RESTAURANTS. I'm so serious, indigenous art is so cool and important.

and never forget that being a non-indigenous (esp white) person comes with privilege, make sure you use that privilege to stand up for our indigenous neighbors.

Haint Tree - North Carolina.

Blue bottles hanging from a tree are an old protection against devils and evil spirits. It is said that the bottles will trap these supernatural pests whereby they will be burned up in the sunlight. A Haint tree in your yard can protect your home from unwanted supernatural guests.

art inspired by a dancer i saw at the Halloween powwow last year.

the highlight of the night was when he kneeled down and asked an older woman from the crowd to dance with him.

i never learned his name, but i did hear that he won first place!

“I could issue an order against these useless and harmful performances [dances, powwows, and other gatherings], but I would much rather have you give them up of your own free will . . . “

A Message

TO ALL INDIANS:

Not long ago I held a meeting of Superintendents, Missionaries and Indians, at which the feeling of those present was strong against Indian dances, as they are usually given, and against so much time as is often spent by the Indians in a display of their old customs at public gatherings held by the whites. From the views of this meeting and from other information I feel that something must be done to stop the neglect of stock, crops, gardens, and home interests caused by these dances or by celebrations, pow-wows, and gatherings of any kind that take the time of the Indians for many days.

Now, what I want you to think about very seriously is that you must first of all try to make your own living, which you cannot do unless you work faithfully and take care of what comes from your labor, and go to dances or other meetings only when your home work will not suffer by it. I do not want to deprive you of decent amusements or occasional feast days, but you should not do evil or foolish things or take so much time for these occasions. No good comes from your "give-away" custom at dances and it should be stopped. It is not right to torture your bodies or to handle poisonous snakes in your ceremonies. All such extreme things are wrong and should be put aside and forgotten. You do yourselves and your families great injustice when at dances you give away money or other property, perhaps clothing, a cow, a horse or a team and wagon, and then after an absence of several days go home to find everything going to waste and yourselves with less to work with than you had before.

I could issue an order against these useless and harmful performances, but I would much rather have you give them up of your own free will and, therefore, I ask you now in this letter to do so. I urge you to come to an understanding and an agreement with your Superintendent to hold no gatherings in the months when the seed-time, cultivation of crops and the harvest need your attention, and at other times to meet for only a short period and to have no drugs, intoxicants, or gambling, and no dancing that the Superintendent does no approve.

If at the end of one year the reports which I receive show that you are doing as requested, I shall be very glad for I will know that you are making progress in other and more important ways, but if the reports show that you reject this plea, then some other course will have to be taken.

Wish best wishes for your happiness and success, I am

Sincerely yours,

[Signature]

Commissioner.

this is a long shot but do you have any information on German folk magic or German American folk magic?

I'm not a German folk practioner but you are in luck because I do know of a few creators online who are! They'll do a hell of a lot better job at directing you to good information than I can.

I'd recommend doing the usual stuff like searching on social media platforms for relevant tags like #germanfolkmagic #braucheri & #hexe. Learn the language, read the folktales, learn some recipes, listen to the folk music & learn the history. When searching online, use whichever web browser is commonly used in Germany because that'll open you up to a lot more information.

There are a few awesome German & German American folk practitioners on tiktok I follow. Go check their content out & look on their Linktrees for more information. I think all of them are on YouTube as well.

Hexe Marie ◇ A Hearth Witch ◇ De Spokenkieker

For more Pennsylvania Dutch folk magic (also known as Powwow or Braucheri), i'd recommend these channels on YouTube:

The Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center

The Pfalzisch Braucher (I'm pretty sure Olivia's also on Tiktok)

The Powwow Guy

Douglas Maderford

Hopefully this gives you a good place to start. ❤️
