Harvest Moon

Posted on September 17, 2016 Leave a Comment

On this last full moon of summer, we harvested wisdom. Just before sunset we gathered at the beach to honor the Roman Goddess, Vesta, and her undying flame. Our rituals, songs, and words were incantations to invoke the spirit of Vesta that lives in our home (the place our soul resides). In preparation for this time […]

Mawu

Thick fog shrouded the setting sun and rising moon, bringing the dark of night soon after we cast out circle. On this chilly night, we dedicated our ceremony to the one who goes by many names ( Gaia, Tara, Mother Earth, Mawu and may more). In respect for our African ancestors, in this ritual, […]

Wisdom of Atremis

On this high summer, full moon night, the women were called to the Enchanted forest by the silent whisper of the Goddess. With a clear view of the sun melting into mother ocean, we cast our circle atop the wooded bluff top. Anointed with essential oil and fairy dust, we opened our intuitive sixth chakra to […]

Bold Goddess Freyja circle

We opened our night with a circle outside, under a lavender sky. The sound of the ocean cradling our voices, as we called out to the goddesses, seven directions, ancestors, and those near and dear to us. We circled and sang to the women who chose to be born in June: Donna, Leah, Amy. […]

As she walked along the path she was met by Peaceful Warrior Elaine McMaster, who placed a bindi on her third eye to stimulate her intuition and serotonin factory. We cast our circle under […]

Crones in the Mist

“We were enshrouded in our own “Mists of Avalon” … as we gathered in ritual and tapped into our womanly ways of being and knowing. Rather than being drawn out of ourselves by the spectacular wide expanse of ocean, we were invited to go within and find the unique treasure buried deep within each of […]
