The Open Door

I wanted to share this article with y'all because it's actually a very good read. I, for one, always loved Saint Patty's Day, because it gave me an excuse to celebrate my favorite color: green! And in the past, I didn't even really know the origins of this holiday. It wasn't important to me. But we grow older and wiser and more educated, don't we? So, I was happy to come across this article that helps make sense of how to transition one's celebrations. ‘Celebrations of this day may have become more secular over the years, but at its origin, it’s a celebration of patriarchal religious colonialism and the destruction of indigenous traditions. Which is not cool.’ And now that I understand, I cannot, in good conscience, celebrate it the way I did before. So what the heck do I do with all of my green shamrock decorations? Well, after reading this article, I have a few ideas! Happy Unpatrick's Day! 💚💚💚 Here is the full article: https://metro.co.uk/2017/03/17/how-a-pagan-celebrates-st-patricks-day-6513439/
