————————-
Disabled people have existed since the dawn of time. Throughout history, we’ve been criminalized as witches, institutionalized as prophets, and punished for telling the truth.
Disability terrifies people, to the extent that disabled people are locked away in nursing homes and psych wards, out of sight — “nobody wants to see that.” When we convulse, shake, dissociate, limp, enter altered states of consciousness, and converse with unseen entities, people grimace and gawk.
Disabled people are connected to something greater — energy, intuition, Spirit, whatever you want to call it. When your body and brain diverge from what is “normal,” you join a lineage of outcasts, prisoners, magicians, healers, wisefolk, and truth-tellers — and everything changes.
Our gifts — our tremors, our visions, our episodes, our spells — are sacred.
