About this listen
I share the mythic story of Kaveh the Blacksmith and Fereydoon’s uprising against the tyrant Zahhak as told in the Shahnameh, and reflect on what these ancestral teachings offer us today: how we resist tyranny, anchor ourselves in community, and transform our grief into courage.
I also speak about the upcoming Palestine Grief Circle on October 10th, a virtual space I’m co-facilitating with my friend Shivani (listen to my interview with them in episode 8). This donation-based offering is a way to honor our shared grief and fight for collective liberation, and to remember Mithra as the honored god of Mehregan and the guardian of truth and justice, and allow him to guide us in standing for what is sacred.
👉 Join the Palestine Grief Circle
Throughout the episode, I share ways you can celebrate Mehregan from wherever you are: creating a sofreh or altar, honoring the changing light, and tending the threads that bind justice, grief, and love.
In this episode, I reflect on:
- The mythology of Mithra, Kaveh, Fereydoon, and Zahhak
- How Mehregan invites us to act for justice and truth
- The connection between grief work and liberation
- Simple seasonal and altar practices for Mehregan
👉 Note: The Mehregan Guidebook is free for Dard-e Del members
