Greetings from the threshold of Mabon, the equipoise of the Equinox and a partial Solar Eclipse New Moon in Virgo! Whoa. Wait.

Here, before anything else I’m reaching out beyond the boundaries of time and space (because language can do that!) to offer you a permission slip (mine is pink) to pause and rest. Will you reach towards me, towards this slip of permission and take it?

Can you allow a softening of your hefty brain, your forehead, jaw, pericardium? Soften, soften, soften your pelvic floor (like you just might pee) and now those mighty thighs. Can you let yourself spill downwards, becoming a mushy, gushy, pulsing puddle, pooling at your feet? Be a liquid lushness of iridescence, a stillness humming with dynamic life. Rest here for one minute or 10, breathing, softening, simmering. Come back when you are ready.

Welcome back here to this potent New Moon collaboration on A Year & A Day - a 13 month journey exploring the seasons of women’s lives through story & emergent collaborations.

Joining me for this episode is my beloved friend & colleague Judith Tamarah from Eugene, Oregon. Judith and I have been collaborating through fecund & curious conversations and wild deeds in the realm of energetic possibilities, healing modalities and ritual play for over three decades.

In this collaborative outpouring we explore:

* a retelling of the story of Inanna’s Descent

* the transformation possible through the descent and the alchemy of scraping off the top soil of oneself to experience the bedrock of oneself.

* the freeing power of this process & discovery as initiation into the season of the Mage, the Matriarch… the Magala!

A YEAR and A DAY is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

After you’ve listened, please share your experiences of The Mage. She is the one harvesting her life’s experiences, transforming, transforming, transforming and stepping into the freeing power of her voice…and wow can this be a wild & slippery slope. Your experiences matter, our voices are generative! I’d love to hear from you.

And because this remains a free to all experiences, please consider becoming a subscriber, just a bit of flow from a relative few makes a massive difference to keeping this endeavor a joyful, powerful offering!

Thank you for your bright listening!

Much love,

Tracy
