To R E W I L D is to remember the Essential Nature of who you are.

This is a space for celebrating the poetic overlap between Gnosis, Activism, Magick, Cyclical Consciousness, and Radical Decolonisation.

Welcome.

If you’ve made your way here, I congratulate you, and I’m oh so grateful.

This is R E W I L D, by Leila Madeline.

I’ve been craving a space for long-form and thoughtful pieces. A space for intimacy, for vulnerability, and for the freedom to share and express the fullness of things.

I love social media so much. I love the fast-paced nature of it, I love the quick turnaround, the screaming into the void and tossing things into the clusterfuck of noise. I find it to be truly exhilarating.

(Particularly reels! Oh my goodness! I love how much we’re trending towards celebrating yelling into a camera for thirty seconds and being done with it. As you’ll see below I’m a Gemini Sun + Gemini Venus in my Third House. I am HERE for the era of lightning-fast expression.)

But I notice myself wanting to dive a little deeper, sit and simply Be a little longer, cultivate a little more intention and presence.

So, this is the space for that.

Here, you’ll find my contemplations on Cycles, somatic reclamation, creative rehabilitation, effective activism, radical decolonisation, Gnosis, practical magick, and my own recovery from the colonial capitalist patriarchal paradigm.

From here, where you’re currently sitting, you might be thinking that all of these things don’t have much to do with each other.

Hang out here with me for a little while, and you’ll start to realise that all of them are in fact, one and the same ;)

There will also very probably be lots of updates about just… my life. I feel a bit squishy about dedicating a space for just me and my thoughts, but I’m really needing a space where the intention is expression, rather than education.

(Although, I do assume that loads of it will be educational as fuck, because I am an educator in my constitution, so my expression of that will still often look like “teaching” I’m sure…)

If you’re into Astro, have a peek at this…

There’s me.

Sun in Gemini.

Moon in Aquarius.

Aries Rising.

And all the Air and Earth. ;)

I hope you enjoy reading these pieces as much as I plan to enjoy writing them.

With love, and fierce solidarity,

Leila xx
