This piece reads:


“I’ve been finding
fractured solace
In the miracle of nuance

—an esoteric dance
Of self preservation
Weaning notions of self from gods who once sustained me
And who’s newfound diasporic absence
Would leave me starved—


I’ve fallen in magnetism
Mailing Roses to All the Lost
And watering selves
Of myself
Sealed with the wish
That they may one day

Return

Home.”


SPELLIN SPELLS IS A CONTINUATION AND RESPONSE TO OPENI’S PREVIOUS WORK, FROM SHADOWS, WHICH INVITES AUDIENCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VULNERABLE PRACTICE OF FEELING YOUR FEELS AND HEALING PAST TRAUMAS.

AFTER DEEP RE ECTION AND CENTERING, SPELLIN SPELLS IS AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS: HOW AM I CHANNELING MY ENERGY? WHAT DO I WANT TO MANIFEST IN MY PRESENT AND FUTURE?

OPENI SHARES SELECTED MANTRAS DRAWINGS FROM THEIR PERSONAL LIFE PRACTICE, AND O ERS ORACLE BONE MANUSCRIPT- ED AS TALISMAN. SPELLIN SPELLS FOCUSES ON THE POWER OF OUR OWN WORDS, ENERGY, AND INTENTION IN SHAPING OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE REALITIES. 

 

SPELLING IS SPELLS.

WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN AND WATCH IT HAPPEN.
