Filth and Cleanliness: A Manifesto

As the Queen of Filth, ruler of the mundane and sublime, I declare allegiance to the ritual of filth and cleanliness in the domestic realm.

Within the mysteries of dust, grime, and stains lies a profound connection to the essence of existence—a connection I honor through meticulous practices.
 

I recognize that filth and cleanliness are not opposing forces, but a cycle that ebbs and flows. The dance between these elements is a testament to the chaos and order that inhabits our daily lives.

​​

I approach work with reverence and respect, regarding each home entered as a sanctuary of one's self. In sweeping, scrubbing, and ridding of excess, I find there is divinity in domesticity.

​​

Our surroundings reflect the state of our inner world, and I approach each task with mindfulness and intention. By tending to these physical spaces, I am aware of their meaning and significance to our bodies, to our souls. 
 

I proclaim this manifesto in defense of all that is hidden, unkempt, and gloriously dirty. For cleanliness does not exist without the presence of filth.
