“Welcome to Embracing Sacred Cycles: Advent Reflections, a podcast dedicated to exploring themes of faith, fertility, and divine connection through the lens of sacred scripture, history, and symbolism. In this Advent series, we journey alongside Mary, mother of Jesus, as we uncover the rich tapestry of her story—her divine calling, creative power, and the sisterhood that sustained her.

In this week’s episode, The Annunciation and Visitation: Weaving Sacred Stories, we explore:

•The ancient symbolism of weaving as creation, connection, and divine preparation across cultures.

•Insights from the Protoevangelium of James, revealing Mary’s early life and sacred preparation.

•The Annunciation, where Mary humbly accepts her role as the bearer of the Savior.

•The Magnificat, Mary’s revolutionary song of joy and justice.

•The Visitation, seen through Mary’s perspective as a story of sisterhood, confirmation, and shared joy.

Join me as we reflect on Mary as a divine weaver of history and purpose—an inspiration to honor the creative power within ourselves and the connections that sustain us.

Light the pink candle of Joy, settle into this sacred space, and journey with us through Advent as we rediscover the divine feminine woven into the story of Christ.”
