Goddess Centered Practice
In the woods behind my house rest a collection of nine large flat rocks. Daily, I walk down to these “priestess rocks” for some sacred time alone to pray, meditate, consider, and be. Often, while in this space, I open my mouth and poetry comes out. I’ve come to see this experience as "theapoetics"—experiencing the Goddess through direct “revelation,” framed in language. As Stanley Hopper originally described in the 1970’s, it is possible to “…replace theology, the rationalistic interpretation of belief, with theopoetics, finding God[dess] through poetry and fiction, which neither wither before modern science nor conflict with the complexity of what we know now to be the self.” Theapoetics might also be described, “as a means of engaging language and perception in such a way that one enters into a radical relation with the divine, the other, and the creation in which all occurs.”
Poem: A Seeker (+ Claiming Your Magic retreat)
Once I was a seeker,
who longed to discover,
who sensed the mystery,
who tasted magic,
who sought the goddess,
who danced with desire,
who craved connection.
Now, I know that
I contain the mystery.
I am magic.
The goddess is everywhere.
I'm always connected.
The dance is eternal.
The questions are answers.
To seek is to find
that you know.
