The Great Harvest Festival Samhain

All of life begins in the dark, watery Cauldron of the Womb. It is here that we find our beginnings. At this time of the year, Autumn enfolds the Holy Day of Samhain (celebrated on October 31) /Calan Gaeaf (the lunar celebration of Samhain on October 27 this year).

The Holy Day Samhain is the veil that is both the end and the beginning. At Samhain you will stand both in and out of the worlds. Simultaneously, ending and beginning the yearly cycle. Samhain marks the beginning of the year in many traditional cultures.

The associated solar holiday is Halloween/Samhain/ All Hallow’s Eve (Oct. 31) and the Solar Observation is November 1st – All Saint’s Day in the Christian tradition.

In Celtic (Welsh) tradition, this day marked the […]

The Nature of a Woman

“You are not a drop in the Ocean
You are the entire Ocean in a drop” ~Rumi

Nature and women hold the original primal force that arises spontaneously. This creative force is the first element and the ground from which all elements of life on Earth emerge. It is original wholeness and oneness. Nature and women hold these earliest elements of existence from which all manifestation arises.

It is critical to the spiritual strength of a woman to come to have a sense of all elements of existence as this facilitates the full integration of her power. A woman’s power being the development of the fullness of her consciousness.

It is key in the development of a woman’s consciousness that she has […]

The Right of Refusal and Standing for What You Are For

If you have seen my Facebook page recently then you have seen that things have taken a turn on Facebook for me. You will see links to timely information, petitions for various causes, and as some might say – a slightly activist tone to the page instead of just the regular contemplative posts.

Why the shift?

I feel that there are so many crazy things going on in the world that it is time I begin to exercise my Right of Refusal and say “You know this isn’t really acceptable”.

It is time for me to spotlight what I do stand for.

I don’t listen to the News or read most mainstream journalism. The News shows and most newspapers and magazines these days are considered some kind of entertainment […]

Wise Woman Wortcunner~Nature Being Safe Other ~Guardian Plant Friend

 

“The formation of attraction relationships helps any entity, including your self, to be in a more full, stable, and secure way. The greater number of balanced supportive relationships an entity has, the more stable is its being.” Michael Cohen

Our brains develop in relationship to others. When we feel valued, loved, understood non-judgmentally – we feel we matter- and this sense of safety and security forms a foundation of resilience on which to build our continuing development and evolution.

When we are in relationships that stabilize us around a trustworthy sense of  acceptance and support we learn to develop trust in our competence and mastery and interact in the world from our inner sense of connection and security.

Establishing a secure relationship […]

Coming Back Online

This might be one of the first contacts you’ve gotten from me in a long time.

I’m arising up out of a deeply submerged time. I’ve been creating and writing, creating and writing- and adjusting my life to better meet my Self.

Creating and Writing Programs

A couple of years ago, I started creating and writing a year long program – The Wise Woman Wortcunner Journey – and today I have just finished the next to the last Journey Lesson. It has been like writing a full length book AND creating a multi-media presentation. Whew! But it is Beautiful! and an amazing multi-dimensional Journey.

After I finish the last Journey Lesson – “the Ritual for receiving the healing gifts of the Herbs you have been working […]

Gwyl Mair and Imbolc- Tracking Our Shadow Work

Avalon Lunar Tradition

In the Avalon tradition, Imbolc is known as Gwyl Mair the second Great Grove Festival in the Wheel of the Year.
In the Lunar tradition of Avalon, Gwyl Mair is celebrated on the first full moon when the sun is in Aquarius. Gwyl Mair is known as the Feast of Mary to the Welsh and as Imbolc (In the Belly) to the Irish (celebrated on Feb. 2). Traditionally, the Celts had little outward activity during their harsh winters. Agricultural, social, and much government work came to a standstill as weather and other natural forces of winter drove people inside. It was a time of inactivity and inward focus for the Celtic Britons. Unlike the other Great […]

The Training ~ Descending to Emerge: Journey 2

Read Arriving Back on Avalon Descending To Emerge Journey 1 here

I have left the Caverns under the Tor and am desperately tired but in haste to make my way back to The Tor as I have such a great calling within to be there.

I arrive at the markers for the Dragon ley lines and there she is The Moon Dragon waiting for me. She smiles – she is very old but every flexible. She hands me my Staff and I begin the ascent up the hill.

I tell her I am tired and she just smiles and hastens several very small dragons to come along with me. It is dark and cold. But I have on my Glamour cloak […]

Olive Oil Lamp for the Holidays

“And you shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive-oil for the light, that a lamp may be set to burn continually”. Exodus 27:20

I made my olive oil lamp – love it.

First I started with a nice container and used a cloth wick and a bit of olive oil. Once the wick was saturated it burned nicely. Then I realized that I could just use one of the many oil lamps I have which I never […]

Arriving Back on Avalon ~Descending to Emerge: Journey 1

I am crossing over the lake in the Barge. It has been a long time since I have been on Avalon as I have been away on a mission in the Outer World. Always with Avalon with me though.

When I step out of the Barge my Guide is there to greet me. She is happy to see me (although we have not been separated). She hands me a warm cup of herbal mixture – tasting good even though I don’t usually like these drinks.

I know I am going right off to the Tor. And we start walking in that direction. It is night.

I pass by the Dragon line markers and deliberately make my way to the top of the Tor. My Guide stays with me.

At […]
