The ring shout is a powerful and enigmatic spiritual dance with deep roots in African American culture, particularly within Hoodoo and conjure traditions. Originating during slavery, it served as a clandestine form of worship, resistance, and spiritual connection for enslaved Africans and their descendants. More than just a dance, it is a living testament to resilience, a sacred ritual that allows participants to connect with ancestral spirits, invoke divine power, and find liberation in movement and sound.
At its core, the ring shout involves participants moving in a counter-clockwise circle, shuffling their feet without crossing them (a nod to West African prohibitions against crossing legs in sacred dances). The rhythmic movement is accompanied by hand-clapping, foot-stomping, and call-and-response singing. This collective energy creates a trance-like state, a spiritual vortex where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds thins. The "shouters" often move with an increasing intensity, their voices rising, their bodies swaying, until the spiritual energy culminates in what is often described as the "spirit catching" – an experience of profound spiritual possession or enlightenment.
The enigmatic nature of the ring shout lies in its ability to be both a public demonstration of faith and a deeply personal, often concealed, spiritual practice. Its ties to Hoodoo and conjure further emphasize its mystery, linking it to ancient African magical and spiritual systems that have been preserved and adapted in the Americas. In a world that sought to strip enslaved people of their identity and spirituality, the ring shout offered a space for reclamation, a hidden language of power, and a direct line to the divine. It is a dance that whispers secrets of survival, resilience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
ideal living situation is what i call the 'sitcom special' : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.

Can only accurately reblog this addition until November 25, 2024.
Astro observations are so funny cause you can tell when certain "notes" are just vent sessions about specific people with random placements slapped on the title.
You didn't "observe" anything, you're just mad at a specific Scorpio Venus.
when mary oliver said ‘if you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. give in to it.’
and mahmoud darwish said ‘and if happiness should surprise you again, do not mention its previous betrayal.
enter into the happiness, and burst.’
due to personal reasons I deeply wish that this autumn feels entirely like rebirth
The Navy Federal credit Union issue is a great example of when I say the machine is not a nameless and faceless entity.
If you guys aren’t, aware after an audit, it was revealed that navy federal credit union denied over half of black applicants for traditional loans and it was found that a black applicant making $140,000 a year with a similar credit profile as a white applicant making $45,000 a year was less likely to receive a loan than the white applicant. 
This is a clear example of institutionalized racism, but I highly doubt that Navy Federal credit Union sent out some kind of memo instructing their staff to deny black applicants. So what’s happening? Well, what’s happening is that white people who are in charge of these applications have issues with Implicit, bias and racism and they are collectively denying black applicants.
So I think there’s a really good example of how systemic racism isn’t just this abject thing without a root cause. It’s not this nameless and faceless evil. It actively being perpetuated by every day white people all around the country.
