Love Auntie - Parables and Prayers for Sacred Belonging

Shantell Hinton Hill

Beschreibung

Embrace a faith that makes room for all of us. Where can we go when the world refuses to see us in our fullness? When culture reduces us to categories and stereotypes and even our churches make us feel like we don’t fit in? If we’re blessed to have an Auntie—someone who, like Jesus, welcomes us wholly and calls us beloved—then we have glimpsed the liberation and divine affirmation of sacred belonging.  Time and again, Aunties have offered a model for undoing, becoming, and embracing our identities and deepest beliefs. Auntie culture, particularly in Black spaces, is immediately recognizable as an embodied experience where nieces, nephews, and “niblings” feel safe, heard, and seen. Whether we are biological or simply beloved kin, Aunties welcome us in.  In Love, Auntie, Shantell Hinton Hill—aka Reverend Auntie—offers tender testimonies to a flock of loved ones who have been led to believe they do not belong. Through modern-day parables, prayers, and prompts for reflection, she invites readers to sit alongside the wisdom-bearing of Black women, lovingly known as Aunties, as they carve out space for doubts, questions, and spiritual expression that honor intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. Because trust and believe, Aunties always know how to turn mess into miracles.

Celtic Gods and Goddesses -...

Odessa Nightshade

The mythology of the Celts is a vast and complex tapestry woven with gods, goddesses, spirits, and mystical forces that shaped their understanding of the universe. Unlike the structured pantheons of Greek or Roman mythology, Celtic deities were deeply intertwined with nature, the cycles of life, and the mysterious Otherworld. Their gods and goddesses were not merely distant figures residing in the heavens but active participants in the world of mortals, influencing the landscape, the seasons, and even the fate of individuals.
At the heart of Celtic belief was an intimate connection with the land. The Celts saw sacredness in rivers, mountains, forests, and the sky, often linking divine beings to specific places. Many gods and goddesses had direct associations with natural elements—Brigid with sacred wells and fire, Manannán mac Lir with the sea, and Cernunnos with the wild and untamed forests. This reverence for nature shaped their spiritual practices, with offerings made at holy sites and rituals performed to honor the divine forces that governed their world.
Another key aspect of Celtic spirituality was the concept of the Otherworld. This was not a place of punishment or reward but a mystical realm existing parallel to the human world. It was the dwelling place of powerful deities, spirits, and the souls of the departed. The Otherworld was often accessible through sacred sites, burial mounds, or moments of deep ritual significance. Many myths tell of heroes or mortals who ventured into this hidden realm, encountering gods, gaining wisdom, or even securing supernatural gifts.
