Callaloo Instituto de Magia

"Vibrations exist in all t'ings and all t'ings exist in a vibe--both in 'dem own spaces, wit' dem own rhythms who mind 'dem own times,"

Callaloo was nomadic and travel, lessons, and etc were sustained by a minimal amount of magical tools and a give-and-take with local resources. It allowed them to learn how to play to each other's strengths and weaknesses, how to conduct interspecies lessons, how to manage ecological resources, and how to facilitate cultural exchanges between the magical and non-magical mish mash of Circum-Caribbean cultures. Second, the social, political and economic isolation of Callaloo, and of the cultures they interacted with, meant their conflicts had never developed into a muggle/magic dichotomy.

Their grief came from the Western World.

Specifically, how both the mundane and magical Western World would exploit land, cultures, and resources, during almost every moment of every day… and so they were always in some sort of survival mode. Naomi Foley in Gon' Clear a Way for Meh Self
