More Goddess Guidance for May! - Rituals of Returning | Lyssna här

A ritual of returning:Surrender to delight.Discover milkweed in bloom.Listen to the wind whisper.Sit and sing, the prayer songs from your heart rising up to join trees in their wind dance.Gather together your curiosity, your determination and your trust.Let wisdom well up from within.Give yourself space to breathe.Savor your own enoughness.It is good to be here.

Welcome to this week’s Rituals of Returning newsletter! I’m so delighted to unveil our June ritual kits in the shop!

Please note that we will be closed next week from June 2-10, due to travel.

Back to the Roots

Coming up in June FREE for everyone as part of the Goddess Magic Mystery School, I’m so pleased to offer this Back to the Roots series in celebration of our 2000th day of #30DaysofGoddess. If you’re brand new to daily practice, this is for you—you are here on the 2000th day and it is a perfect day to begin! If you have been here since the beginning, this is for you—lets celebrate the life-changing power of daily practice and how devotion has changed, inspired, and nurtured you! If you have been here for any days in between, this is for you—I’m so glad you’ve shared your days with this community!

During this series, we’ll revisit the roots and purpose of #30DaysofGoddess and daily practice and we will also explore 7 days of guided practices, all with a roots-related theme. I’ve got a printable prayerbook, prayercards, and ritual deck all ready for you and I can’t wait to share! Our primary celebration will take place June 17-24, but I have background support resources to share starting on June 1 as well.

Life’s Bits and Pieces:

Holy Life of roots and rhythms,protect me from the hunger for doing more, ever faster.Lead me instead toward what truly nourishesbody, spirit, and connection.

reading:

(to self) Paladin’s Hope—this is the third book in the Saint of Steel series by T. Kingfisher. I also read Paladin’s Strength last week. Each book in this series is about one of the paladins of the war god (the Saint of Steel) and what happens to them after the god suddenly and inexplicably dies, leaving his followers utterly bereft and broken. Now, they all work for the Temple of the Rat and investigating/protecting people from there. Really enjoying this series! This one is about a string of grisly murders and a lich-doctor (doctor who assesses cause of death) and a gnole constable (little badger-like creatures and one of the paladins who are trying to figure out who is sending these bodies down the river. *Note: main character’s name is Galen. I simply could not remember this while I was making the audio.

(to self): Somatic Shamanism after joining the Book Club level of the Girl God’s Patreon. An experiential journey through the tree of life and one’s own “fleshy knowing.”

(to kids) Above the Veil, book four in the Seventh Tower series—more sinister secrets are unveiled as Tal and Milla struggle to survive in a world that wasn’t what it seemed to be.

listening to with Tanner: How to Trap a Tiger—have previously listened to this with Alaina for homeschool literature. A story about a girl and her mother and sister who go to live with their grandmother in a small town and there is a mysterious, elusive tiger that she keeps glimpsing. Rooted in Korean folklore, but set in modern times.

listening to by self: Mila 2.0—contemporary YA fiction about an android girl who doesn’t originally know she is an android super solider and is now on the run from the government. Side note: my kids are currently watching Sweet Tooth and also Kipo and we have had to laugh because the main characters in all three of these are misled/misinformed by their parents as to their identity and all find out by finding a folder with their own name on the front, which turns out to be an acronym for whatever government experiment they are (well, for Mila, it is an ipod, but still. Labeled with her name, which is revealed to be an acronym).

Note: I am on Fable if you want to follow along with what I read there!

Worthiness

Reminder: May you remember that you do not have to earn your place in the light, that you are already worthy, already enough. May you find joy in unexpected ways and make space for what is essential to gently appear.

In this Rituals of Returning video, we wrap up the month of May by continuing with our explorations of the Egyptian goddess Bast, the month of Love, and cats as companions, guardians, and guides.

Questions to Explore:

How am I finding joy in unexpected ways?

Can I allow myself to be as light-hearted as a cat?

How am I embracing my own playful qualities?

Is it possible to be both independent and reliant on others?

Can you be fully content with life when you are not in complete control?

Where do I need more connection? Where do I need more solitude?

How am I balancing self-sovereignty with my need for strong community?

Where do I still feel like I have to “earn” my place in the sun?

What do I notice when I “smooth” my energy field—where feels sticky, rough, or heavy?

How can I create more space for what is essential to appear?

Where in my day can I create a small clearing where the sacred can breathe?

Affirmations as we wind down this month:

I allow myself to be as light-hearted as a cat.

I embrace my own playful qualities.

I breathe into the knowing that I am worthy.
