y’all wanna talk about how honoring your ancestors could be cultural appropriation because it exists in both ATRs and basically every single culture in a certain form but don’t wanna talk about how the US gov is still tryna sell sacred Indigenous land

y’all wanna talk about how the evil eye could be cultural appropriation but not the colonization and westernization of Hinduism and Buddhism and how most of New Age spirituality is a watered down version of it

y’all wanna talk about tarot as a closed practice but ignore how a lot of imagery from it is Jewish symbolism and from Kabbalah, or how Native aesthetics are still used freely and without question in the spiritual community

my point is @ yt people stop saying everything is cultural appropriation when you ignore the roots of colonization in your own spirituality. start there.
