Summer Ritual Boxes to benefit Medical Aid for Palestinians
May 29, 2018Jonah Aline Daniel
Dear Narrow Bridge Candles Community,
As the season has unfolded, we have seen enormous acts of resistance in Palestine, and solidarity around the world. Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been severely wounded by Israeli fire, causing the hospitals to be incredibly overwhelmed and the need for medical supplies to be desperately high.
This season, Narrow Bridge Candles will be donating a quarter of the proceeds from the Summer Ritual Boxes and Subscriptions to the Medical Aid for Palestinians Gaza Emergency Appeal. We hope the funds raised will bolster the resources available for relief.
As always, I am grateful to be in community with you, towards justice, jonah

*The Femme Summer potion, included in all the Summer Ritual Boxes and Subscriptions this year, was created as a collaboration between Plants as Allies and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. It was made from medicinal plants grown by Jonah on the land they tend at the 2017 New Moon in Leo in the height of Summer. The potion is vinegar-based and quite magical.
