Louise, this SPOKE to me so deeply. It resonated inside like a deep wound and a deep CALLING. It make every part of me sit a bit taller, straighter, to walk forward towards that ever shifting line in the sand to say I AM HERE. I WILL SHINE MY LIGHT.
There is much to say...yet I will just say THANK YOU...💖
Thank you Sam for honouring my words with your calling. It got me like that too, a fire in the belly, a light in the heart and a new momentum to carry myself forward. What a precious time it is. 💫💕
Louise I agree 100%! We have been uprooted, cut off from the natural flow of life. Separated from our innate connection with animals and plants, lakes and forests, stars and planets. For what? Power. Dominion. Control. Patriarchs that place themselves as the rulers of the kingdom. But only for a few, because even in our human family, there is hierarchy. Woo-woo! No way. But for a moment let me defend. For some that may be their baby steps back home. A means of maintaining a status quo when their lives are about to be turned upside down. For me, woo-woo was never part of the equation. The calling has been strong, the movements both powerful and frightening.
Right before I came to my computer, I was out walking with the full moon. She is gorgeous! Her glow scintillating. The morning air crisp with the coolness of autumn. I open to her mysteries, for she is full of them. This type of presence is what I long to immerse myself in, because it is real. What is passed for real nowadays is only an illusion and lie. No give me the impermanence of nature, the wildness of the wolf howling at the moon, the raindrops gently falling on my face, the yearning within the whale song....
Yes, it’s is beautiful and powerful Julie and perhaps this is the first time we have truly let ourselves be immersed in the wonder. I so understand that this may be the dawning of a new day for many. I should also remember that I too stood on that threshold once. Thank you for reminding me and thank you for sharing your truth so magically. We have arrived. 💫💕🙏
I’ve been really noticing that I have no sense of what other people think is weird. I went as a witch for Halloween and was offering blessings at playgroup with a special herb blend I made for the purpose.
I find that even people I would never think would lean toward spirituality and mysticism are so positive about it. I wonder if something powerful happens when we stop feeling that it’s strange and just own how real and necessary magic is.
This is such a beautiful insight Allysha, I do think things are definitely shifting and in the meantime we can confidently stand in our power. Breathes a sigh of relief. 💫💕
I think every conversation--regardless of topic--requires a level of sensitivity to where people are, but I'm finding that there are powerful and interesting ways to explain the most esoteric concepts to the most unlikely people.
Case in point: My conservative Christian grandparents just went on my Sacred Mystery Tour in the South of France, which is basically all about heretics, esoteric secrets, and energy magic. On the first day, I offered them a relatable framework for the histories I was sharing (i.e. compared the heretics of the South of France to the original protestants). By the end of the tour, my grandpa was mind-blown--he completely changed his lifelong belief about who the "good guys" of the story were.
I love that Allysha, there is no need to bash people over the head with it or prevent it being accessible as though it is something not to be shared with ordinary folk. If we can provide background and relatable stories it can come to life for everyone. What you’ve talked about here is the perfect example. That’s so inspiring.
Thank you for this post 🌹💜 Your descriptions of living the life of our ancestors is so beautiful! It felt like I was there, living that life again. A life that a very much yearn to live now. Doing my best to make it so. 🥰🙏
Oh, YES, my sister! ✨💖🙏💖✨ I love this so much! I recently felt a bit miffed myself after reading someone's post where they apologized for being woowoo. Really, it was more that I was disappointed. I tend to think we've come such a long way in reclaiming these natural ways, these ancestral ways, in not being afraid of connecting with the earth and her magic once again. So then when I read someone's apology for tiptoeing into the realm of seasonal living, it makes me think that maybe I've had my rose-colored glasses on again. Lol. Thank you for being my beacon of hope once again! 🤗
I guess it's because I have worked so hard to take myself out of that fearful space, connections and energies, it's feels like a world away. I love that you used the word miffed! 🥰
