Since it's not going in my article due to space constraints, i'll share a bit about Jane Manning James here. It won't be superfleshed out atm bc it got cut. I plan to do more later. As I am *Reorganized*, writing this for a Community of Christ publication, i researched Ld-S shared history to the point of Nauvoo. my article doesn't follow west (technically). the main resource was an LDS one (thank you v much for your freely available archive) asking about her time with the prophet of the Restoration.

Jane Manning James

A significant Black Latter Day Saint from the early church was Jane Manning James. A woman from Connecticut notably made the walk from Buffalo, New York to Nauvoo, Illinois on foot, with most of her family. This was only after being separated from the group of recently converted latter day saints in Buffalo, possibly due to their race. Jane was baptized in 1842 by missionaries in her home state of Connecticut. She recorded these things about her journey and arrival to Nauvoo and her faith when asked to recall her life living with Joseph Smith in 1905.

“When I went there [Nauvoo] I only had two things on me, no shoes nor stockings, wore them all out on the road… They [Joseph and Emma] was looking for us because I wrote them a letter. There was eight of us, my mother and two sisters and a brother and sister-in-law, and we had two children, one they had to carry all the way there, and we traveled a thousand miles.”

She was sure in her belief of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and Modern Prophecy. She says in her recollection, after seeing that Joseph Smith Jr was indeed the man in her vision in Connecticut, that “This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and there will never be any other on earth. It has come to stay.” Sister James would later go west with the saints under the leadership of then Apostle Brigham Young.

me tumblr posting again:

thank you for the example set Sister James on faith, dedication, and perseverance. She also had spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongue and faith healing. She believed following the gospel, knowing it was a key to a better way of living life (for her.) it wasn't easy for her, and yet, i think the faith community i observe today (and mormonism in general) is better, just for her having lived it.

may she be at peace, and in a manner God, Sister Jane herself, and her family she led that meant so very much to her, see fit.

Unhinged Naruto AU ideas hour of like. The supernatural tragedy and uncanny horror of a family line violently wiped out in one night and suddenly there’s no one left to honor the ancestors’ spirits and take care of the family shrines.

The idea of war causing cursed energy to increasingly seep into the ground of not just the battlefields but also the abandoned clan homes left behind.

Supernatural malice following after a killer and taking root into a growing nexus of negative energy until a village is blanketed with curses and regrets.

You know what, yeah, this could be interesting. Like an unintended consequence of bringing the clans together into villages, concentrating spirits into one place. And through continuous wars trying to weaponize an enemy’s curses, similar to targeting medics as a weak link, exorcists steadily die out over the generations.

By the time you hit canon, in locations like Uzushio and maybe Ame are seething masses of curses.

good news now (if you want to hear one idk keep scrolling): my nonna complained almost everyday about how her surname in her documents being written wrongly bc when her parents arrived from italy the desk people wrote it based on its sound instead of the actual spelling of it.

she passed away and didn't get the chance to write it corretly as she always wanted to. i'm not sure why but i think it was my aunt who never helped her.

but she always wanted to write it the "right" way. she would tell me all the time about that.

today i went to [whatever's the place's name in english] and the guy there said i can legally change the spelling of her surname even if she's dead.

i'm gonna honor my ancestors everyone :D
