Letters for the Fire is back! This has had such overwhelmingly positive feedback from listeners and participants that it is now a permanent part of the show. I'm so glad to know that it's been an empowering and beneficial experience for folks who have sent letters in the past.
Letters for the Fire is a listener participation project for community catharsis and healing. Survivors are welcome to write a letter to their rapist or abuser and then send it to me. All letters will be read in a special episode at the end of the podcast season. I want you to feel heard and to have control over the way that you're heard.
Write your letter and email it to podcast.findingok@gmail.com or use the contact form on the podcast website. (your email address with NEVER be shared or sold)
You can send something short if you just want to have something to burn with other listeners. If your letter is longer than three pages or takes more than 10 minutes to read aloud I may not be able to include it in the episode, I do apologize.
All of the letters I receive will be burned together in a small ritual that honors and releases. A video episode will be made available later on my YouTube channel.
For legal reasons I will be bleeping or omitting last names of abusers if you share them in your letter. I will only use your first name if you include it. You are absolutely allowed to share a letter anonymously! Just let me know in your email if you would like to remain anonymous.
If you include a personal message to me in your letter I promise I will try to respond! This podcast and this project takes a great deal of emotional energy and I already struggle with executive function as a neurodivergent person. I am not great at responding to emails but I do read every message and I will do my best to get back to you. Please know that I hear you and I love you.
Please feel free to share this project with anyone you think would be interested.
Your letter can be whatever you want it to be. Express what you need to express. Zero judgement. This is for you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions as always.
Solidarity and strength,
Hecate
