Indigenous Maya Woman Reading Popul Vuh: translated from the Original Maya Text
In this video, I begin my journey through the Popol Vuh, the sacred text of the Maya, translated by Allen J. Christenson. This version is highly respected, as it honors the original K’iche’ Maya text, ensuring the preservation of its true essence.
As I read through the preface (pages 1-26), I reflect on the importance of returning this sacred knowledge to Indigenous people, from whom it was taken or forgotten over generations.
The Popol Vuh is more than a collection of stories; it is a spiritual guide and ancestral wisdom, carrying profound teachings that are vital to understanding our heritage.
Join me in this reading as we reconnect with the sacred wisdom of our Maya ancestors, honoring t...

This question was asked in one of my adoptee support groups and I think it's a really great question to address. This is my answer along with several other adoptees' statements too. Thanks for the support!

Hey my name is Julia Grace Garfield.

I think I'm a more efficient writer than I am at making videos so if you want to read my articles on my website I encourage you to do so. ...

    Behind the "mormon facade" of family values is some really dark shit. You are not alone.

    Have you heard the racist (Mormon) story about the "fence sitters"? Such hurtful stories for a billionaire cult to spread

    They totally owe you reparations. Participating in child trafficking is wrong, just like you said-morally, ethically, legally. You would think that any decent person who found out they HAD wrongfully become involved this level of inhumane criminality would at least TALK ABOUT IT. They owe you so much more though. I think some parents did NOT do their research about adoption and prefer to live in the dark, thinking they are a white savior. Those days are over. Being ignorant, uneducated or willingly blind IS NOT AN EXCUSE . How can you not ask questions when ALL Guatemalan adoptions were stopped due to......CHILD TRAFFICKING AND CORRUPTION.

    I'm so sorry that you went through this. You came up on my recommended today. If you haven't heard of Shelise Ann Sola or the Cults to Conciousness Podcast I would look into her. It may be a community you'd be interested in and you could reach out to her with your story. It would be a great way to grow your channel and share your story with others. She left the Mormon faith and connects with people from all different walks of life/religions about their stories. She's previously talked about the Mormon religions' mistreatment of indigenous children and people of color.

    Yet another reason to believe that religious extremists are just delusional pedos with no morals. Religious conservatism is a disease in this country.
