This article is an excellent example of how European fairytales and folklore have been used to co-opt Indigenous cultures and spiritualities. Us witches, pagans and magickal practitioners need to be mindful and critical when following our spiritual beliefs on colonised land 💚

#Australia: "On January 26, a community march in Boorloo/Perth that had been organised to mark Invasion Day was attacked by a man who threw a handmade bomb into the crowd.

The device, apparently concealed in a sock and allegedly designed to explode upon impact, was an act of terror that specifically targeted First Nations people and their allies."

@n_dimension @Yehuda

Do you have #Indigenous or #FirstNations tags to suggest for the list? 🙂

Very happy to add them if so!

The idea of the list is to build it from people's suggestions, which is what I've been doing today.

Same same, but I try to use #firstnations

Here’s some TIL info about Native Americans that you didn’t ask for…

Anishinaabe and Ojibwe are often used interchangeably. But they are not the same. Anishinaabe is a group of nations that includes Ojibwe.

I know this because my great nieces are half Ojibwe.

So…there it is. Now you know.
