]]> Wetiko is an Algonquin word for a cannibalistic spirit or thought-form driven by greed, excess and selfish consumption. It deludes its host into believing that consuming the life force of others for self-aggrandizement or profit is a logical and morally upright way to live.

It’s about time that we recognize this dangerous characteristic and begin to transition towards a more authentic, life-affirming existence on this planet.
