One brought on by time in nature and magic and community.
I’ve been so tied to schedules and clocks, electronics and the pit of scroll. But this last weekend I spent four days in a tent, without electricity and steeped in magic. The Wise Woman Witchery Outdoor retreat was a time out of time. The rhythms shifted the alarm that brought me awake, no longer the fake nature sounds from the electronics on my nightstand, but a chorus of birds and a filtering of daybreak and the ones that lulled me to sleep were the crickets and wind in the trees. Here I am now. Back in the day to day. But I feel different. The ceremony, and divination offered openings to the inspiration I’ve been seeking, but so too did the connections with the other women who stepped into this space. It is easy to forget as we trudge through our responsibilities the sheer power of gathering in circle for days, of eating together and sleeping in the same spaces and of course making magic. This deep time allows for vulnerabilities and authenticities to emerge in a way that does not always happen in a quick online class or ceremony. The classes and circles I’ve offered online and in person are intended to create these spaces, these safe microcosms of self exploration and connection. And often they do just that. However being in the same physical space, away from distractions and the energetic pull of the “to do’s” truly carves out space to be with what is, and to open to possibility and each other. I am grateful, honored, moved and changed. And now as the integration occurs, I will discover how to carry this medicine forward, into those things that need tending each day, remembering that I am in fact one of those things too. What’s Happening? I am offering Priestessing in the Modern World, one last time before the Priestess Path begins on June 21st. If you have yet to take this free class and have some curiosity about meeting (or getting reacquainted with) your inner priestess, you are invited to join me Saturday, June 15th at 1 pm PT. Sign up here The Priestess Path Awakening Journey starts June 21st This year long path invites you to deepen into the use of earth based and magickal practices to expand your relationship to priestessing and to yourself. Through the use of twice a month meetings, we build our community and our skills in a small group format, allowing the container to create a space for growth and connection. You can learn more and register here The Summer Digest is ready! I’ve just ordered mine and you can order yours too! This season I asked YOU to send me submissions for the Cauldron. You all have your own wisdom to share, and I wanted to highlight this and create something that was truly formed by community at its heart. Meet some of your fellow Witches and discover a taste of their wisdom. I’ve also added a few more articles to connect us even more strongly to the Summer season. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed cobbling it together. Order here
