This theme of this issue is Occult which refers to “hidden, secret and mysterious, particularly pertaining to the supernatural.” Occult practices appeal to our natural curiosity. According to Wikipedia, the occult, in the broadest sense, is a category of supernatural beliefs and practices which generally fall outside the scope of religion and science, encompassing such phenomena involving otherworldly agency as mysticism, spirituality, and magic. Examples of occult practices are astrology, witchcraft, the black arts, fortune-telling, magic (both black and white), Ouija boards, spiritism, and parapsychology.
Radicle Threads is a BBIMP (Black Brown Indiginous Melanated People) grassroots company that aims to create a sustainable, ethical, and equitable online and print publication with a focus on crafting.
Their mission is to uplift, amplify, and empower Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Melanated People (BBIMP) voices and to share their knowledge, skills, and experiences with the goal of increasing accessibility for all.
From the makers of Radicle Threads: We wanted something that reflected change and growth; according to the dictionary, the Radicle is part of a plant embryo that develops into the primary root. Radical people advocate for complete thorough social change that supports a progressive reform in marginalized communities.
Threads are about the connections that we form as we go through life. We, as people, are connected through this invisible thread that shapes our interactions with those who come into our lives.
