A Cry for Help from Gaza My name is Aya, I'm 29 years old. I'm marrie… Aya Alanqar needs your support for Save Gaza: A Brighter Future for

Abdelrahman, Adam, and Jori are the heartbeat of my heart and the light of my life.

Abdelrahman: the lion of the house, the helpful and loving boy to his siblings and family.

Jori: my beloved girl, the one closest to my heart, and my little mini-me.

Adam: my little hero and my spoiled child.

Since the onset of the latest war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us into displacement. We’ve had to move more than thirteen times in search of safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced severe hunger and malnutrition that nearly took my life and the lives of my children. Additionally, we were exposed to numerous contagious diseases and dangerous epidemics.

Before: This is our home, our dream, and our promising future.

My children have to travel long distances just to get water and stand in line for hours to get food. Their mental health has been shattered by the war, their education has come to a halt, and they have suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.

After: This is our home, built with our sweat and effort, and it has been completely destroyed.

The Right to a Peaceful Life

My children deserve to live a peaceful life free from fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your assistance means the world to me and my children.

Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed.

Working with deities

The idea of "working with a deity" refers to the spiritual practice of building a relationship and working collaboratively with a specific divine being or god/goddess. This is common in many polytheistic spiritual traditions, where followers seek to develop a personal connection and work in partnership with particular deities.

The specific nature of this relationship can vary, but may involve practices like prayer, ritual, meditation, offerings, and invocation to communicate with and request the deity's guidance, blessings, or assistance. Devotees may see the deity as a mentor, teacher, protector, or source of power and inspiration.

The goal is often to receive the deity's wisdom and support in one's spiritual growth and life path. Working with a deity is considered a two-way relationship, where the practitioner honors and serves the deity, who in turn provides spiritual, emotional, or even practical aid and direction.

Of course, the details depend greatly on the particular spiritual tradition and the individual's personal experience and relationship with the chosen deity. But in general, "working with a deity" refers to this collaborative, reciprocal dynamic between a human and a divine being.

Common things to do

Offerings - Making physical offerings of food, drink, flowers, incense, etc. to the deity as an act of reverence and to request their attention and blessings.

Prayers/Invocations - Reciting prayers, hymns, or spoken invocations to communicate with the deity, express devotion, and make requests.

Meditation/Visualization - Meditating on the deity's image or form, visualizing their presence, and seeking to develop a felt sense of their divine energy and guidance.

Rituals/Ceremonies - Participating in structured rituals, ceremonies, or liturgies dedicated to honoring and engaging with the deity, often involving symbolic actions, tools, and recitations.

Offerings/Sacrifices - In some traditions, more elaborate offerings or even animal/food sacrifices may be made to the deity as an act of devotion and exchange.

Divination - Using divination tools like oracle cards, runes, or other methods to seek the deity's wisdom and messages.

Altar/Shrine Building - Creating sacred spaces with the deity's images, symbols, and offerings as a focus for worship and ritual.

The specific practices depend on the spiritual tradition, but the overall intent is to develop a meaningful, reciprocal relationship with the divine being through multi-sensory engagement.

Modern adaptations (same thing idk)

Journaling - Writing letters, poems, or reflections addressed to the deity as a form of devotional practice and dialogue.

Deity Visualization - Visualizing the deity's image or energy during meditation or throughout daily life as a way to feel their presence.

Deity Altars - Creating small personal altars or shrines with representations of the deity, their symbols, and offerings.

Deity Invocation - Spoken or silent invocations to call upon the deity's energy, wisdom, and aid for specific purposes.

Deity Art/Crafts - Creating artwork, jewelry, or other crafts inspired by or dedicated to the deity as an act of devotion.

Deity Study - Researching the deity's mythology, history, and associated symbolism to deepen one's understanding.

Digital/Online Practices - Participating in online deity-focused communities, social media, or virtual rituals and meditations.

Music - singing hymns/devotional songs as a form of worship.

Very often I see Black Palestinians relegated to a hypothetical or used for rhetorical arguments. They are real human beings, a real community within our larger Palestinian community. They deserve respect, recognition, and assistance.
