Gorse moves exuberantly into the artificially stunted ecosystem of the field, introducing a hostile, rampant diversity resistant to poisoning and cutting, and sheltering the children of the old forest. This is an example we, as anarchists, can — and should — follow.

Even though, to some, it feels like a decade has passed, 2021 is almost behind us. Gods and Radicals is not a news site, but staggering events around the globe have made it difficult to avoid incorporating this ‘genre’ into our writing. Before stepping into this new Gregorian calendar year, let’s revisit some of the events we felt the need to cover and consciously decide what lessons we hope to take with us into this next phase, and what we ought to leave behind.

The woods on a day like today are gloomy. The air is damp and cold, the sky a blanket of grey, making everything seem darker despite the early hour. And yet this is needed. I enjoy the festive period, the sparkle and glow of it all, the food, the drink and the merry making with my nearest and dearest and yet sometimes I just need this. The cold damp air on my face.

It’s astounding how little the average citizen knows about nature and their local ecosystems. It has become easier for us to imagine a mosquito that is genetically engineered to be sterile, than to learn about which animals in our area are their natural predators.

I could have listened to her forever, so vast her experience, so full her life. Her words raised goosebumps as she spoke about her early life, “I know what it’s like to be a refugee in a strange country,” she told us, “I know what it’s like to be really hungry.”

Trees are symbols of this cycle, of this ever turning wheel. They signify the seasons, and show the incremental changes that occur as the wheel creaks ever onwards; the blossom of spring, the lush green of early summer, the fruits of late summer and early autumn. The dramatic colour show and loss that mark late autumn and the bare branches and evergreens of winter.

The November 2021 Edition of Another World

At the time of writing this article, the #witchtok on Tiktok has more views than #biden, the current president of the United States. This is quite clearly a shocking development, one that those who worked in metaphysical stores in the 1990s never would’ve anticipated.
