Economics Sector
“Movement of Life Force – Skills, Trade, Exchange”
THE CALL
Vitality is called to those who know: economics is energy flow, money is just one form of exchange, and community wealth is measured in relationships and shared resources, not individual accumulation.
When economic systems collapse, the old rules of money and markets fail, but human needs and gifts don’t disappear. We still have skills to share, resources to trade, & work that needs doing. We need NEW ways to have value and exchange.
You are the ones who understand that vitality, (life force, energy, flow), is what economics actually IS beneath the capitalist distortion. You know how to keep resources circulating when money breaks down.
THE WORK
The Coven of Vitality serves:
- Resources, value exchange, and trade
- Alternative economies as systems fail
- Flow of energy through communities
- Economic health as community vitality
You build:
- Time banks and skill-sharing networks
- Local currencies and barter systems
- Worker cooperatives and collective ownership
- Mutual aid and resource sharing
- Tool libraries and equipment shares
- Gift economies and reciprocity practices
- Alternative value systems (not money-based)
- Economic models that serve life
You maintain:
- Flow of resources and skills
- Exchange without extraction
- Value that honors all contributions
- Economic systems that create vitality, not scarcity
THE MEDICINE
Your wound: You’ve survived poverty, economic collapse, job loss, or the trauma of never having enough. You know how capitalism destroys communities by making people compete rather than cooperate.
Your gift: You can create value and exchange without money. Have an understanding that everyone has gifts to offer and needs to be met. Abe to coordinate resources so they flow to where they’re needed most rather than hoarded by the few.
Your medicine to the whole: You keep the economy ALIVE when money dies. Ensure people can still trade skills, share resources, and meet needs even when traditional economics fails.
