Clio Ajana describes her experiences at the 2022 Paganicon festival.
“Yet, when the world’s events, like the weather, paint a picture that appears to be without hope, I wonder where or how – or even when – Ma’at’s scales will balance.”
Clio Ajana examines the numerological and astrological significance of the year 2020, and considers how the murder of George Floyd reflects the trajectory of life for black people in America.
All years are full of death, just as they are full of life. This year, however, seems particularly violent. Admittedly, this dark feeling is encouraged by the mainstream media, the alternative media, and social media. Even with that caveat, the past month has seen a heartbreaking tide of killing. Between June 12 and July 22, we collectively witnessed over 150 violent deaths: the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Dallas and Baton Rouge police shootings, the Nice and Munich attacks, and the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
