Persephone, please walk with me. May I honor shadowed truths, silent dreams, and hidden mysteries. May I be patient with this time beneath the surface quietly incubating the seeds of possibility until the time is right to rise into the blossoming. ~ Molly Remer ** See Molly’s books on Etsy **Art is Clear and […]
About Molly Remer
Pain and Pausing by Molly Remer
“I pin my hopes to quiet processes and small circles, in which vital and transforming events take place.” —Rufus Jones Last year in August, I wrote here at FAR about my own pattern of getting sick each July and the steps I have been taking over the last three years to change that pattern for […]
Beltane Moon by Molly Remer
I didn’t just stop to smell the lilacs I sang to them too praising their beauty as I pressed my nose into their blooms. I rolled redbud flowers across my tongue and ate dandelions straight from the stem feeling yellow petals in my teeth. I savored the flavor of a violet and rubbed mint leaves […]
Book Review by Molly Remer on The Other Side of the River: Stories of Women, Water and the World by Eila Carrico
“Braids, tapestries, and currents in the river show us the way again and again–it cannot be one clear way or another, it has got to be both ways and together.” ~ Eila Carrico, The Other Side of the River It took me many months to review this book and as I sit down to write about […]
Magic and Sustenance by Molly Remer

The Gaian Tarot Deck Review {Molly Remer}
I distinctly remember my first Tarot deck and the sense of anticipation, “danger,” and intrigue it held for me. I was about 13 when I got it, a Rider-Waite in the yellow box, and I did NOT like it. I never connected with the deck, the book was way too esoteric and, frankly, boring, and […]
Dream Blossoms {Molly Remer}
“Instead of planting our solitude with our own dream blossoms, we choke the space with continuous music, chatter, and companionship to which we do not even listen. It is simply there to fill the vacuum. When the noise stops there is not inner music to take its place.” –Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea What […]
