I knew I would fall in love with this post and I did. I have heard of loving our shadow selves and acknowledging our demons as a way to heal. But this tangible practice is something I will take with me and cherish. Also your voiceover is heavenly. Darning the socks glues it all together perfectly. Chef’s kiss. Thank you for this deep and moving post.
Just listened to Accidental Gods podcast where Manda Scott talked about doing this practice, your explanation here and links very helpful, a powerful practice. And I too appreciate your sock darning explanation , will try both. Love that you attend to mending psyche and socks in one post !
Yep I’m up for a bit of co-conspiracy and experimentation, think we and the dual approach make for a great combo. Should we do a Zoom sometime in New year to make a plan ?

This practice really is gold! I’m touched at how beautifully you received it. May our demons be well nourished!

Thanks for the podcast tip Sally! And happy darning! Let me know if you need more instructions, my photos were not super clear.
Perhaps a Substack sock darning circle..?!

Yes! Let’s! We can dm and find a time.
That sounds great. How about an Earth mending sock darning circle? Drawing on some wise old women energy !
Conversation on Accidental Gods podcast was the recent 3 way one with Della and Nathalie
Sally, that’s a great idea, an Earth mending sock darning circle - I’m in. Would you be up for co-conspiring?
I’m reading rather slow and parallel these days but much enjoying your weave of thoughts in Climate Crisis and Consciousness.
Such powerful alchemy, thanks for sharing💙
You are so welcome Eden!
Fascinating explanation of the liberation that can come from feeding your demons! I liked the sock darning info too. I like that you darn your socks.
Thanks Laura! There is definitely something Kintsugi about darning socks, with each repair they are more beautiful.
