    More Goddess Guidance for May!

This week's magic: 18 minute mini ritual video: Beltane ritual and May’s allies Additional video: letting your heart be your compass Two minute video: unboxing March’s Magic Mail Free mini zine: A Festival of Wonder May’s practice update for #30DaysofGoddess! Live activation ritual for May is on May 4th at 3:00! Book party for Thunder and Roses is on May 11! We’ve started a new newsletter for Gaea Goddess Gathering! Coming up in September right here in Missouri. Earthprayer! My special offering for May is an Earthprayer series unfolding via the Goddess Magic Mystery School. This series includes weekly live practices, daily posts, inspiring rituals, and FOUR printable card decks for exploring our daily themes. Life’s Bits and Pieces: May I remember I am not here to watch from the edges, but to co‑create in the ceremony of life's unfolding.May I choose with wise discernment what I will tend in my cauldron of creation.May I return, again and again, to my own sacred center.And, may I trust that some wishes are meant to wander on the wind,carrying my magic farther than I can see. reading: (to self) Living in Process—while I have a couple of complaints about this book in terms of what feels like missing information/explanation, I am really enjoying the exploration of living in process, remembering the this earth, this world, this life is not static, it is an unfolding and each of us has a process to live and explore. (to kids) Aenir, book three in the Seventh Tower series—I actually finished the second book, The Castle, in between April’s newsletter and this one. I’m still enjoying this series, in which everything the main character has thought to be true about his life and world unravels as he discovered how much more lies outside the shadowy boundaries of his life. (listening to with Tanner): Brian’s Hunt—the final book in the survival classic series that developed after Hatchet. Since I last wrote, we also listened to The River, Brian’s Winter, and Brian’s Return. We also continued our Gary Paulsen festival by listening to Northwind, which is about a Viking-era type of boy who has to survive alone on the sea. (listening to by self): Sisters in the Wind—I’ve barely begun this one, as I only recently finished listening to Warrior Girl, Unearthed. This is the third book following Firekeeper’s Daughter, but it actually takes place temporally between the events of Firekeeper and Warrior Girl. I actually liked Warrior Girl, Unearthed more than Firekeeper’s Daughter overall, but I was really left frustrated by the many holes in the ending. Each of these books is a 12+ hour listen, so be prepared! Note: I am on Fable if you want to follow along with what I read there!

In this month's video, we embark on an exploration of Beltane, centered on the Egyptian cat goddess Bast (Bastet). We weave together goddess wisdom, plant medicine, crystal allies, and animal guidance to support a season of love, playfulness, and heart-healing. May you be playful this month. May you pause to listen to your heart. And, may you savor sweetness in the ordinary moments Reminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community and May’s handbook is available here. Expanded post available here. And, bonus affirmation set for paid subscribers is included at the bottom of this newsletter (scroll down). Questions to explore: Do you know how to play as you are now (at this age, in this season of life)? What does play mean to you today? Where might you be trying to “straighten” what is meant to be delightfully cattywampus? What would it feel like to bless the imperfect instead of fixing it? Where can you soften in your life—physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually? What rough edges are currently rubbing at your spirit, and how might you soften them? Where do you feel “thin,” leaky, or drained in your life or energy body right now? What fears or resentments are hurting you from the inside out? What would it look like to begin releasing even a little of that today? If your heart could speak freely, what would it say it needs in order to remember how to be whole? What idea, project, or dream are you ready to make manifest in this season? Affirmations: I allow playfulness to enrich my life. I find pleasure in the small moments. I follow what pleases me. I am rich in so many ways. I understand the sacred nature of the cattywampus way. I embrace the tender beauty in imperfection. I am playful. I dance in the love light of a benevolent Mother Goddess. I am rooted in love. I pause and return to center. I breathe deep and listen. I allow myself to delight in the sweetness of life. I am open to ease in the present. I soften and rediscover sweetness. I remember I am already whole. I am fierce and wild. Inhabiting the crossroads… I watch the orioles,orange and black embersagainst a backdrop of green.They do not know what is on my lists.Standing under this sky,this day,I remember:when we let the litany of the undonerun away with us,we forget to inhabit the real.The orioles are here today.Tomorrow is still only a rumor. Sometimes I feel like I’ve been “camping out” at a long, extended crossroads—combination of midlife re-evaluation, changing family constellations and needs, and simply living in the in‑between on a changing earth.Midlife invites us to recognize and hold the reality that we can’t live every possible life and can’t say yes to every shimmering door.But you can:+Listen for your own full yes from the wise guide within. +Make peace with the paths that must pass you by.+Trust that new doors appear because you let others close.A mini blessing for today:“May I choose with wise discernment, even when it means letting good things go.” Embodying the Goddess: Guest Video about Beauty So pleased to share this guest video from Cynthia Abulafia, the author of Embodying the Goddess with you as a special subscriber bonus this month! Where the magic is… This is where the magic is, right where we are, where we touchthe mighty mystery,step into the sacred, and ease into the boundless, right where it touches us.Gently, now, we invite ourselves to remember.Bravely, now, we invite ourselves to reclaim.Firmly, now, we invite ourselves to return.We need not seek the absolute or long for the holy,we need only to open our eyes and reach out our hands, right here,right now, we have already arrived.

    April's Herbal Ally: Dandelion

    And so, March slides easily away between the trees, whispering of storm clouds, sudden frost, and sunshine on new bloomed wild plums.She leaves stars of chickweed in the grass and dandelions lifting bright and eager faces to the sky.She holds the door for April, who is nudging her way in, skirts wide and capable, dotted with dogwood blossoms and redbud flowers.There are lilacs in her hair and violets on her shoes and lilies in her hands.We rise to greet her, hands outstretched in welcome, turning briefly to wave to March as she backs away,having done what she could with what she had to bless the land, to remind us of the bond between body and soil,between root and bone, between bloom and blood.Thank you,we wave,blowing a kiss as April sweeps across the threshold and catches us up in her danceof emerging. Welcome to this week’s Rituals of Returning newsletter! I am so pleased to announce that pre-orders for print copies of my new book, Thunder and Roses, are now open! Orders from the Etsy shop include special bonuses only available directly from us. The book becomes available worldwide in print on May 1 and is also available for pre-order on Kindle. This week's magic: 14 minute mini ritual video: wisdom in the weeds. Extra video: what is in my (magic) bag! My newest essay at Feminism and Religion shares 13 lessons from the spring. Fiddlehead goddesses! When we were searching for morels this past weekend, I was delighted to discover how well the Shakti I had with me matched the unfurling fiddlehead ferns! So, we made some more! Where fiddleheads are tightly furled, you know there’s magic in the world. Stepping into the Cauldron of Creation Within the bubbling depths,I honor my story and trust my process.I am not behind.I am not too late.I am in process, and my process is sacred.I am a woman unleashed.I am a person unleashed.I am a cauldron of creation. My special offering for April is a Cauldron of Creation series unfolding via the Goddess Magic Mystery School. A brief overview video is here. This series includes weekly live practices, rituals, and a printable card deck! Life’s Bits and Pieces: Today is a ritual of sky and skin, of bare branches and possibility. Today is a ritual of reclamation and recovery. Today is a new opportunity to forgive ourselves, to wrap ourselves in a cloak of graceand to come back home to ourselves with love. reading: (to self) The First Witches Club—one of the free Kindle reads for March, I believe, this book is about three very different woman whose marriages abruptly come to an end and they team up, working at a little apothecary shop with a wise Crone who owns it. (to kids) The Fall, book one in the Seventh Tower series—I have these books for ages and finally decided to read them. This one is about a boy who lives in a tower in a world of darkness except for the light that comes from “Sunstones” that they have to charge with light beyond the “veil” that surrounded their world. He falls off the tower into another land of ice and snow and has to try to get back to the tower. So far, it is pretty interesting, though my daughter doesn’t really like it. (listening to with Tanner): Hatchet—the survival classic for pre-teen boys, we’ve already listened to this one before and Tanner has read it to himself (and I’ve also read it to myself as a kid). About a boy who gets in a plane crash on his way to Alaska and has to survive with only a hatchet to keep him company. (listen to self): Warrior Girl Unearthed—I’ve just barely begun this one, it is the second book following Firekeeper’s Daughter and is about the twin nieces of the main character in the first book. It might a little much for me right on the heels of the other one, so I might take a break from listening to it. Thinking about: Doing more local events—I’m reading at PoetSpeak in town again next weekend and was invited to come to a local authors event at the library in a neighboring county for this month as well. I’ve joined several Missouri writers organizations this year. I’m also considering submitting to the Missouri Writers’ Guild contest and going to their conference in St. Louis in September. I also joined the Academy of American Poets! How much I enjoyed going to a sound bath meditation/ritual in town this week! Making a couple of revisions to Return—I discovered a big error in the final section of it this week (no #3 in my “Extras” section. HOW DID I MISS THIS?!). I had a couple of other small notes of minor changes to make, so I’m trying to make space to fix those all at once. This isn’t a book revision or second edition, just minor corrections. Looking forward to: Simple and Sacred Open Mic night tonight! We have a live circle every month. For notices, make sure you are on the #30DaysofGoddess email list. Sharing: Karen Tate’s new book, The Divine Feminine! I’ve always loved Karen’s articulation of Goddess as “deity, archetype, and ideal” (which leaves space for everyone to connect with her in some way) and I was pleased to endorse her new book! Daily goddess texts! From Caryn at the Divine Feminine App, you can sign up for daily Goddess 101 texts simply by texting ‘Join’ to 256-815-0760 to get your free daily dose of inspiration.

Wisdom in the Weeds: Dandelion Double click to interact with video Happy April! Reminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community and April’s handbook is available here. Dandelion is our herbal ally for April—bright, persistent, resilient. They offer us this invitation: Keep turning your bright little face and your bright little hopes, to the sun, despite what comes. Hope is a practice. Persistence is a practice. Faith is a practice. This month, may we draw courage and inspiration from dandelions, resilient and radiant, even in challenging conditions and rocky, rough terrain What helps you keep turning toward the light? How are you navigating the rocky landscape of living? You will also enjoy the free booklet “Recipes and Rituals of The Herb Crafter’s Tarot” by Joanna Powell Colbert and Letisha Guthrie, which inspired some of the dandelion practices mentioned in this video. Joanna’s nourishing Substack may also be found here: Messages from Sea & Cedar with Joanna Powell Colbert. Remember: You already know the kind of nourishment you need—trust yourself, let your environment nourish you, and seek the wisdom in the weeds and overlooked places of your life as you step into the Cauldron of Creation. Questions to consider: Where are the “weeds” in your life that might actually be medicine or teachers? What overlooked or ordinary thing in your environment might be quietly supporting you? What “dream seeds” have you been holding in the dark that might be ready for light and warmth? If you stepped forward like The Fool, what new path or project would you begin—even if you don’t feel ready? What old stories or baggage are weighing you down that you’re ready to set aside? Where in your life are you willing to be a beginner again? What ideas, projects, or desires are currently bubbling and brewing in your inner cauldron? What small daily practice helps you realign with the sacred and restore yourself to wholeness? Affirmations to consider: I follow my dream seeds. I am audacious in my adventuring. I seek the wisdom in weeds. I keep my mind open. I am willing to experience life as a beginner. I give myself time and space to bubble and brew, to let new ideas and possibilities emerge. I know the kind of nourishment I need. I am a wildly complex human, perfect in my imperfection (from Amanda at The Phoenix Soul, Messy Affirmations) May you be well nourished this month.May you trust that you know the kind of nourishment you need.May you honor your wild complexity and seek the wisdom in the weeds. Today… We have felt the yearning stirring beneath the surface, beckoning us to stretch, to reach, to root, to rise.Now, we sense sunlight above the surface, feel the urge to crack open, to emerge into the wonder of day.It is now when we leap together in the direction of our dreams, leaving worry and fear behind us as we rememberwe can fly. Sending love to all of you. Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

    Celebrating the Spring

    The River of Inspiration

    May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world. Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town. And, then, today, as I work on the newsletter, sporadic power outages at our house cutting off my internet. As such, this newsletter will be a little shorter than usual with only a brief audio edition. I’ve gotten very off schedule this week! Our shop update today is an eclectic one, featuring assorted divine imperfections, “Luna” one-of-a-kind goddesses, and some red winged Nemesis goddesses (by customer request). We also still have assorted goddesses in our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year’s featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it! This week's magic: * 8 minute video: beholding delight. Resource Reminders: * New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies * 1. getting started * 2. printable journal * 3. affirmation card set * 4. portable altar space * 5. introduction to thealogy * 6. influential authors in goddess studies * 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday) Blog Posts: * Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning) * Clarity and the Crossroads Beholding Delight Reminder: Let us be open to delight. Let us be open to wonder. Let us allow joy. Let us be open to the possibility of bliss. Journal prompts for the week: * What is calling to you? What doorway are you sensing? * What are you saying yes to? What is your ritual of returning? Affirmations for this week: * Happiness and ecstasy flow through me wildly and freely. * I am open to joy. * I say yes to life. * I listen to the call. * I allow an expansive dream or creative quest to emerge. * I find the small sacred moments in my daily life and let them sustain me. * I walk my path with presence and intention. Goddess of quiet knowing,help me to make a space for stillness,to guard a place for peace.Remind me that stillness and motionare a constant interplay,the beat between notes,the space between raindrops,the pause between breaths,the silence between heartbeats.The nature of the body is to be in motion,the constant unfolding of a whole universewhirling within our cells,the still spaces in betweensomehow holding the whole together,as in stillnesswe move.
