When Women Circle

The leaves rattle in the wind... Fierce and loud, then slower and quiet until they find stillness for a heartbeat or a breath, only to awaken again. The air blowing past my face is fresh and cool. My hair dancing among the breezes, curling and tangling. The scent of dry sweet grasses fills my body with knowing.
This is the harvest. This is the lengthening of nights and the time when the desire to move inward grows strong.

Here amongst the gusts and the scents of autumn I circle with the women I have called my family for 16 years. Our intimacy is one that transcends that of typical friendships. For not only are our friendships long and the stories of our lives etched into that which lies between us, but our energies have been interwoven, time and time again. We have cast countless circles and called upon the elements and directions so many times that there is deep ease when we do it here in this moment.

It has been months since we have gathered without a screen and miles between us. Yet even here, in our distanced circle with cloth covering our faces as we ground ourselves and cast our circle, as our energies begin the familiar weaving that is the tapestry of us, I feel the power of a shared history of magic emerge. 
I feel like I have come home.
Wise Women, this moment I write about brought me to tears. Tears of gratitude to see these amazing women, and to circle together. Tears of grief for the months we have been apart. And tears that came because of the profound love I have for each of these fabulous humans.

In my time in Circle I have learned so much from both the women who have come and gone and those that have arrived and stayed with steadfastness.

There is wisdom and power in community, and within community we are offered gifts not just from others but also from ourselves. In relationship we are asked to look more closely within and explore the bright and shadowy bits that come to the surface.  

In Circle we are also asked to bring our magic to the center and allow it to connect and meld with the magic of others.

I want this for all of you!
Although we can not gather in person, we can use the tools of the internet to gather virtually and create community among the neuro-networks of what we once called the world wide web.

The Wise Woman Witchery Diving Deeper Community has launched! This is a space that will foster community, offer weekly live chats and sometimes interviews with other wise witchy women,  Full and New Moon ceremonies and you will get access to all online conferences hosted by Wise Woman Witchery. This monthly membership is guaranteed to bring more magic into your day to day and add a few more pages to your Book of Shadows.
