A New Year

On the Trail of the Wild Feminine

Be actively kind.
Speak your truth.
Protect those who need protection.

“I’m slowly learning that even if I react, it won’t change anything, it won’t make people suddenly love and respect me, it won’t magically change their minds.
Sometimes it’s better to just let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from.
I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead.”

Full moon in watery Pisces with a partial lunar eclipse tonight.
Emotions are at ‘high tide’ right now. Slow your roll and remember to breathe as you consciously focus on whatever emotion surfaces.
The next few days are an extra potent dream time. Take note of your dreams and waking visions. Soul is speaking to you.

Art: High Tide by Cindy Thornton
go now with sage in your heart
let your very breath be the smudge stick
that cleanses every dark thought
every shame, every harsh circumstance
you are sweetgrass and pollen
rose hips and hollyhock
a living offering to She who walks
the earth through you
She who stands in the center
of your labyrinth soul
burn hot breathe deep
and become the incense of wild woman
smoke rising from your fingertips
to bless everything you touch

“You are a story the
ocean is telling
the sky
the stars speak your name
the moon sings
in your veins
the selkies who swim
through harbor and lagoon
remember you
with liquid eyes
come home
to the timeless tide
to the truth of you
hidden like witchlight
under your skin
come home to your
true story
the one hidden like
sunken treasure
beneath
who you think you are
and who the world
told you
you could be
daughter
mother
sister
wife
worker
healer
helper
friend
you are more than
the roles you play
for others
and the ones you try on
for yourself
you are more than
your fear
more than your
longing
circumstances
and pain
come away
from the harsh
dry land of limitation
move away
from the shoreline
of approval
the sharp rocks of fitting in
will only bruise your
luminous skin
lay down
all you think you know
abandon
that habit of smallness
relinquish
the sting of bigness
let what is unworthy
drift out from you
feel
allow the waves
of possibility
to cradle your
soul-drenched heart
float
on the current of ancestors
those who burned and bled
who gave all so you
could embody
what they could not
so that you could become
more
spread your arms wide
like hope
and your legs wild
like abandon
feel your spine loosen
with silk and
starlight
you belong to She who holds
the deep in her lap
She is not afraid of the dark
She is the dark
and you are
the pearl
she is crafting
from chaos and crisis
look at you shine
every bit of you
treasure”
