Some reflections from the
Strawberry Full Moon Magic ✨ that happened the other night in ceremony with ….
“Last night I chanted with a fierceness I forgot I had.
I danced with wild abandon.
I howled to the open sky.
I felt the ancestral energy of my grandmothers and great-grandmothers present, guiding & holding me.
Many of the women who came before me walked the paths that they had to.
Some of societal expectation.
Some of familial duty.
Some of pure survival.
But I still wonder…
If when they were alone, did they dance barefoot on the Earth?
Jumping, feet landing in the sand or dirt.
Spinning and twirling, hair coming loose in untamed tangles.
Did they dare to howl at the moon?
Voices raised ferociously, the echoes roaring through the trees.
The heartache I feel tells me, they likely didn’t.
I could feel the memory of a deep wound of never being able to fully embody the women they dreamed of being.
It’s a wound that has been passed down, a fear I’ve always had myself, that I will never know my true purpose.
Last night asked the question:
“What is your sacred assignment?”
The message I received:
I am here to be and do and see and create and learn and heal and love and express and feel everything that my grandmothers, great-grandmothers and their mothers before them could not.
I am here to embody the woman I have the freedom and the privilege to choose to be.”
Thank you to the women who came before me: Barbara, Isabel, Helena, Katarina and Annie. Thank you for showing up for me in spirit and for making it possible for me to be here. ❤️
Thank you to , and for an evening that is still reverberating within me. 💖
