“The people of Appalachia have never needed empathy; what we need is solidarity, real and true, which comes from understanding that the harm done to me is connected to the harm done to you.”

- Elizabeth Catte, WHAT YOU ARE GETTING WRONG ABOUT APPALACHIA

💜💫 Sunday Soul Time - Summer Solstice Edition 💫💜

It's a little late in the day but I couldn't let the day pass without posting a reading today, so here it is! I'm using The Appalachian Spirit deck today because summer airways brings me back to barefoot days in the grass and that simple, timeless wisdom of this deck is just too perfect to pass up for a solstice energy reading.

As always, if you feel called to do so - choose a card from the picture below then see the comments for my energy interpretation for that card. Read the full message with an open heart but don't force anything to fit if it doesn't feel right... take what resonates and leave the rest.

If you'd like additional clarity or a full reading of your own, just reach out and we'll get that set up (prices and options will be in the comments too).

Multiple truths can exist at once:

Appalachians are systemically oppressed.

That oppression is real, but it is not the same as the systemic racial oppression Black communities experience.

Black Appalachians exist at the intersection of both.

And white Appalachians, while impacted by regional and class-based oppression, can still benefit from and participate in racial systems that harm Black people in our communities.

Happy Juneteenth, y’all!
