Sometimes we sink back
and root deep,b2ap3_thumbnail_IMG_6160.PNG
drawing up nourishment
from cool, dark places
and eternal mysteries.
Sometimes we send out
tender shoots
of possibility
tasting the air cautiously,
checking to see
if it is safe to grow.
Sometimes we crack open
with abandon,
casting off our limits
and our caution
and pushing forward with intention,
determined and strong.
Sometimes we rise up
riotous and wild
aching with the fullness to bloom.
Always we are held
on solid ground,
even when we feel lost
and uncertain,
or ferocious and powerful.
Always we are cradled
on a rich and whirling Earth,
the sky above our
bright and bounteous forms.

Big Winds Moon-April 1, 2022

Tis the 2nd Moon of the Year and in my traditions named The Big Winds Moon. It is presided over by Spirit Grandmother Butterfly Clan. She taught us to be gatherers of people, to create community, showing us the connection between humans. Have  you seen the multitude of small orange and brown butterfly colonies that have recently arrived? What a delight to walk through a colony on my way home from a shopping trip yesterday!

Cornmeal is her medicine, and is ours, the spiritual value of it for us being life and abundance, and in this capacity cornmeal is the "preparer of the way", it becomes the road for these energies to travel upon.

Wind Magic, Chaos Magic, Trust Magic

When problems abound, whether a savage wind blows debris into my face or is at my back carrying me swiftly toward my destination, I try to release my heartfelt desires to the wind and into the care of the cosmos, which is endless, loving magic. I seek to learn—not just in my head but in my gut—that to acknowledge my fears and misgivings and then turn away from them and release my life, let go, trust in magic, is to fully participate in life.

The Equinox ritual at the beach yesterday turned out differently from what I’d planned. There was one problem after another. And I loved the event.

Years ago I dreamed
I was walking around
holding a large sign
that said: “path to awakening”
upon it.
I couldn’t decide
where to hang it
and finally settled
on placing it above
my own bed,
pointing at my own head,
where I then,
woke up.
Disappointingly literal,
or simplistically profound,
I was not sure,
but I think of this dream
and about the things we seek
and how we wander
and what we crave.
Perhaps we already carry
what we need to awaken.
Perhaps we already hold
our own signs
Perhaps we need only
to open our eyes,
to be awake,
right here.

This was written as part of my current month of #30DaysofGoddess.

I carry the ocean home with me, b2ap3_thumbnail_she-of-the-sea-book-cover-with-goddess-and-shell.jpg
tides moving in my body,
song echoing in my cells,

sunrise in my eyes,
salt in my blood,
a wave-softened heart,
my layers stripped back,
laid bare before
an endless rhythm,
my edges round
and smooth,
like a gray moon snail
pressed into the sand.

I finished reading She of the Sea by Lucy Pearce this week. I don’t have time to do a long review of the book, but I want to give a salt and sun soaked recommendation for this jewel from the sea. It is smooth and sensuous reading, full of emotion and depth. Such a beautifully wrought book–personal, archetypal, mythic, and magical. It makes me yearn once more for sand, shell, and shore.

I hope your religion b2ap3_thumbnail_ooak-365daysofgoddess-in-rainy-day.jpg
has plenty of roses
and lots of sunrises.
I hope your faith
is full of smiles
and alive with joy.
I hope your spirituality
tastes good,
smells sweet,
and holds you kindly.

I recently finished reading a book called The Spirituality of Imperfection. (Side note: it doesn’t indicate it clearly in the title or book jacket that it has a significant emphasis on AA, but the assumption seems to be that the people who are reading it will be AA members, which I am not.)
