I have a question

As much as realistically possible, I resist using the descriptions that I "own" this business, or that I'm a "solopreneur". I have used these terms, but they feel disingenuous and simply inaccurate.⁣

I define animism as the Cosmos being alive and intelligent, comprised of many different sentient beings, and humans are just one of the beings. In other words, the Universe does not exist for humanity's exclusive pleasure, convenience, opinions, or survival.⁣

Now let's apply that towards business (which we have been discussing as a group in the Evoking Your Business + Project Series - now available via self-study), there are a vast roster of seen and unseen beings involved in the viability and operations of a business, as a business is a mini cosmos in a way.⁣

This is simply a long way for me to say that your participation is so valued, appreciated, and revered. For folks active in the Substack community, I am deeply grateful I can ask you for your honest opinions.⁣

I have a question…

I really love writing. Mainly for myself, but sometimes I also like to share what I write.⁣

Do you enjoy reading? Do you enjoy reading what I write?⁣

If I were to publish an e-book, a hardcopy zine, or hardcopy book, would you purchase a copy? Would you support this work of mine?⁣

Does it matter to you whether if it's self-published or via a publisher? Would this affect how you perceive the book (don't worry about how others may perceive it)?⁣

Would you be more interested in a single topic? Or something more on the lines of intersectional occultism? Or maybe one of each? (one can dream haha!)⁣

By intersectional occultism, I can't even really call it occultic. It's simply a book about humanness. I desire to conceive a "book baby" that will walk with you, cry with you, hold you, inspire you to believe in humanity and spirits again, something that will make you want to cook up a storm, start your dream business, cast your spells with fervour, and help you fuck sweetly. I want to talk about the ridiculous expectations placed upon mothers, the toxicity of some spiritual systems, medical trauma, making money and paying bills, what happens to us when we live wildly and reconnect to the animal that lives in our hearts, that MAYBE is a viable answer when making decisions, and how exhilarating it is to smell the tracks of spirits. I absolutely can guarantee you that my book will not be perfect, and will likely have typos and grammatical mistakes (if I choose self-publishing) because I don't think you really want me to outsource an editor so that you ultimately need to pay more for the book. Covid, industrialization, depletion, and politics have worn us to the very last threads of who we are, to reveal we are more resilient that we were told, more creative than we can imagine, and the fed-up-ness of it all is the only thing we can truly call our own because the fed-up-ness is a sign that we still know that the sacred is possible.⁣

Anyway, if yes, each of you, PLEASE, comment below. What would you be in for?
