ACTIVISMIn the course of an interview with Unquiet Things, I was able to put my thoughts and feelings about the importance of our activism into words:Since the day we first opened our doors, helping support and strengthen marginalized communities has been of paramount importance to me. At Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, we have never shied away from our civic duty, and since the inception of the company, we have made it a point to do everything within our power to support organizations that provide emergency aid and disaster relief, support environmental and conservation causes, help the homeless, protect civil liberties and reproductive rights, and offer succor to the LGBTQ community and marginalized ethnic, racial, and minority religious groups. It is our way of helping to protect and provide for our communities, and we feel it is our obligation as human beings to help those who may not be empowered to help themselves.Activism - Hymn to the Erinyes++ HYMN TO THE ERINYESVociferous Bacchanalian Furies, hear! Ye, I invoke, dread pow’rs, whom all revere;Nightly, profound, in secret who retire, Tisiphone, Alecto, and Megara dire:Deep in a cavern merg’d, involv’d in night, near where Styx flows impervious to the sight;Ever attendant on mysterious rites, furious and fierce, whom Fate’s dread law delights;Revenge and sorrows dire to you belong, hid in a savage veil, severe and strong,Terrific virgins, who forever dwell endu’d with various forms, in deepest hell;Aerial, and unseen by human kind, and swiftly coursing, rapid as the mind.In vain the Sun with wing’d refulgence bright, in vain the Moon, far darting milder light,Wisdom and Virtue may attempt in vain; and pleasing, Art, our transport to obtainUnless with these you readily conspire, and far avert your all-destructive ire.The boundless tribes of mortals you descry, and justly rule with Dike’s impartial eye.Come, snaky-hair’d, Moirai many-form’d, divine, suppress your rage, and to our rites incline.- Orphic Hymn LXVII: To the FuriesThis is the end of silence, the end of shame, and the end of bearing the burden of other people’s crimes.I see you, I hear you, and I believe you.
