Big Blessings of this soulful, sea changing, new moon in Scorpio. Are you feeling it my dears?
Greetings and hello! Welcome to A Year + A Day, a salty/sweet 13 month journey illuminating the cyclicity of women’s lives through storytelling & emergent collaborations.
This gorgeous watery new moon in Scorpio (with a kiss from Mercury) IS a soul soaking, delicious hot mess for mystical transformation and an opportuning for some serious shedding of the gnarly, glomming s**t (i.e. deep wounds!) that just isn’t yours/ours anymore! Whoop! It’s time.
If you want to intentionally get down and tango with this chthonic new moon for collective and personal transformation lean in to a few of my favorite Oregon based astrologers: Marina Ormes and Dr. Mindy Nettifee for a deeper dig. Now is the star-aligned time to dig deep!
For this new moon episode my dear friend and colleague Jackie Singer and I sat down for virtual tea and a chin wag about the messy, mystical middle of the Magah/Mage phase.
Jackie and I met in 2018, in The Red Alachigh ( Red Tent ) with an ancient stone relief of Sheela Na Gig at the very first Oxford Storytelling Festival. Over the years we have played, collaborated and helped to midwife each others’ creative projects in the world. Tis a beautiful thing feeling the solid net of support from fellow creative women folx at any stage in life, and for me, particularly so when birthing creative work into the world in the middle of my life. Deep thanks for Jackie’s support over the years!
Just a few weeks back, for the second year in a row, Jackie and I offered Open Your Ear to the Great Below, a women’s retreat diving deep into the Sumerian myth of Inanna through mythic embodiment, somatic experiencing and community connections. If you are curious about this potent epic myth, have a listen.
Here, in this episode are going deeper into Magah/Mage/Matriarch season. She is the mystical, composting, shape shifting terrain in between (and sometimes including) The Mother and The Crone archetypes. We reference the story I told at the last full moon, The Cauldron of Inspiration. In a number of languages the word Maga(h), NOT MAGA, means sorceress, witch, and the feminine aspect of the magician….
Some of the juicy breadcrumbs Jackie and I followed in our emergent collaboration, where we truly had no idea where the conversation might go, are:
* How language and words hold new meaning as we move into post menopause.
* A deeper fertility -the womb as cauldron, as power beyond a vessel of procreation.
* The creative distinction & power through lived experience of being in the Magah phase.
* The gifts of renewing our not knowing.
* The messy middle of trusting inner guidence, intuition & wider, deeper cycles.
* Living into less rules and more permission!
And if you’ve read all the way down here, thank you!!! Your attention here is what pulls me back month after month saying, yes, let’s..
As you know, for now, this Substack is a free offering…this is sooo so important to me, and wow, sometimes it just caves my head in to navigate all the logistics, tech and the energetic integrity of pulling this off cycling with the moon, each month.
Having a another two handfuls of paid subscribers would truly make such a difference in keeping this accessible and relatively sane. Please consider support this creative, intuitive, women centered, transformation focused endeavor. Mo amount is too small. Thank you for being here, being human in the whole glittering mess of life!
Please read on to learn more about Jackie and her work in the world and an upcoming virtual workshop with cultural architect Adriana Forte in early December.
