hi white people
your weekly reading & more, below the cut.
Spiralwalker is a weekly newsletter, published here & on Substack, for weird people who want to live a more free life. I talk about healing and spirituality and what it means to be human beyond empire.
Subscribe here to have Spiralwalker delivered to your inbox.
The truth, along with a whole lot of distortion, propaganda, and misinformation continues to emerge. As promised, it's not getting easier, just weirder.
If you are white, now is the time to begin learning about and examining whiteness. Whiteness is a social construct that was created to justify and support the colonization of the People of Global Majority.
Whiteness is not the color of your skin; it is the internalized beliefs and structures that you carry within, and the network of people who carry this within them supports societies and cultures that create the world we live in.
What Epstein and the people connected to him did is not new. It happened during chattel slavery and the Indigenous genocide–all kinds of white people did depraved things to Black and Indigenous people.
Those behaviors are encoded in our bodies, passed down through time. It lives in you now as privilege, as bias, as the very ignorance of the realities of whiteness (or even the existence of it).
You do not have to do this alone.
My peer Keellia & I are facilitating a bi monthly white caucus, a space for white people to come together to discuss issues surrounding deconstructing whiteness–a place to learn, unlearn, and process what comes up along the way.
White people need to learn to take up less space in the collective but we need to have spaces to exhume these internalized beliefs, if we want to be better members of humanity.
The Uncomfy Lunch Group meets every other Tuesday, beginning February 17th from 1:15-2:30 PM Eastern time.
Meetings are live and will not be recorded. $10-25 per meeting, payable via Venmo to @keellia-guevara who will pass donations to the selected mutual aid fund.
If you are interested, you can email [email protected].
I hope to see you there.

10 of swords - the hermit - apprentice (page) of pentacles
Isolation in your mental overwhelm and despair makes sense but is not necessarily the path forward. Taking time to be with yourself and what is, quiet contemplation where you can face your shadow is all well and good but what is important now is what comes from it.
We are on the precipice of a new world and as much as we need to make space for grief we need to lean into action. This doesn’t have to mean the biggest, most obvious actions, but you must act on your new knowledge in some way. This helps you embody and transmute the knowledge to wisdom. Small steps toward anchoring a new way is all that is needed. It’s too foggy for anything other than what you are sure of.
When you have been as indoctrinated and propagandized as we all have been in the Western world learning what you don’t know (or know incorrectly), contextualizing that knowledge, and examining how systems live in you (aka how you perpetuate them), is action.
It’s a good place to start.
