“The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves.” ~Terry Tempest Williams
Spring, Glorious Spring, is almost here! Encapsulated in the grip of Winter, we have been waiting for the enlivening energy of Goddess to revive us and bring forth Her promise of new life, new energy, and new manifestations. The seeds that began their quickening at Imbolc are bursting with life- affirming spirit and providing visual cues that Goddess is extending across the land.
While we are eager to embrace the renewal of Spring, we still have some clearing to do; mentally, physically, energetically. The past year has brought so many changes with the pandemic and changes to everyday life, plus the politics of the USA and beyond. As we sit here with one foot in the snowdrifts of the Winter Crone and one foot in the tender grass of the Spring Maiden, we must consciously leave what we can to the Winter. Allow Wisdom Mother to imbue us with confidence as we step into the hopeful energy of Spring. Allow her to remove some of our burdens, anxieties, fears.
Create rituals and ceremonies that support this release and make room for the bursts and blooms of the new season. Embrace new energies and set intentions that nurture you, uplift you, inspire you. Expand your practices. Pause for a seasonal (or even annual!) review: How did you overcome the challenges of the past year? What did you learn that will support you in 2021 more effectively? What may need to be left on the tundra of Winter? What pruning and cutting may be done to facilitate new growth? What are your intentions for the Spring Equinox to carry you out of Winter and into Spring? Who are the Goddesses supporting and nourishing you right now?
Meteorological Spring officially begins on the 1st of March, but Spring weather does not really settle in for many areas until after Spring Equinox (between the 19th and 21st of March generally). I love winter weather and snow but I also love the blossoming trees. The adornment of Gaia never ceases to delight me.
I wish you the blessings of Spring, HOLY YES’s to and from the Universe, the grace of Goddess, laughter that lights up your Soul, and the blooming of your hopes and dreams for this season. We have several new offerings, including a new Goddess Book Chat, Moon Journaling
courses, Priestess Training, and Journal Within inspirational sessions. Stay connected for all of our offerings and events – we have a new MotherHouse of the Goddess Offerings page that will be updated frequently!
Thank you for connecting and supporting MotherHouse of the Goddess. I am ever-so-grateful for each and every one of you. Lighting of the altars, chanting, offerings and prayers are being given each day for our community, our nation, our world. May you and yours remain safe and blessed.
Blessings, Kimberly
