Bread and peace.

Women. This day marks something powerful. It isn't an arbitrary date of awareness that someone picked on a calendar.

Women. Learn your history. Your lineage, blood and spirit. See how powerful we are, especially when we come together.



https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ci9XC42g7/

A century ago, March 8 was not only a celebration. It was a cry for dignity.

In 1909, women in New York marked a National Woman’s Day organized by the Socialist Party of America. They were fighting for better pay, safer work, and the right to be heard. At that time, many women worked long hours. They earned less than men. They had little power over the decisions that shaped their lives.

Then in 1910, at an international conference in Copenhagen, a German activist named Clara Zetkin shared a bold idea. She said one day each year should belong to women everywhere. A day when women could unite their voices and demand equality.

The idea spread.

In 1911, more than a million people across Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland joined the first International Women’s Day events. Women marched not for attention, but for rights. For work. For respect. For a better future.

But the reason March 8 became unforgettable came a few years later.

In 1917, in Petrograd, Russia, women went into the streets demanding “Bread and Peace.” They were tired of war, hunger, poverty, and loss.

These were mothers. Daughters. Wives. Workers.
Women who had carried pain in silence.

But on that day, they refused to stay quiet. Their protest became one of the sparks that helped start the Russian Revolution.

That is why March 8 matters.

It is not just another date on the calendar. It is a date written by women who stood up when the world expected them to endure in silence. Women who fought not only for themselves, but for generations they would never meet.

Years later, the world officially recognized what history had already shown.

In 1975, the United Nations began observing International Women’s Day. In 1977, it called on countries around the world to honor women’s rights and international peace.

So today, when we say Happy Women’s Day, we are not only celebrating beauty, kindness, and love.

We are honoring the woman who cries in private and smiles in public.

The woman who gives up her dreams for her children.
The woman who holds the house, the family, and everyone else together.
The woman who keeps giving even when no one asks if she is tired.
The woman who survives things she never speaks about.
Women’s Day is not only about celebrating women.

It is about thanking women for carrying life, pain, hope, and love all at once.

Some women changed history in the streets.
Some changed history inside small homes that no one will ever write about.

Both matter.
Both deserve to be remembered.

Remember the women who changed the world and were often never fully thanked for it.

March 8 belongs to them.

Woman Rewilding
~The Way of the Great Fire Mare & the Return of Matriarchy

Rewilding as Restoring. Repairing. Renaturalizing.
Reestablishing. Rejoining - The Herd. The Council. The Community.
The potency of women leading. ReWorlding.
The matrilineal and matriarchal ethic.

Under the current systems, we are programmed to live in survival. To compete with each other for resources.
To be distrustful of others and keep our walls up.
Under the current system, we are disempowered and are harmed.

We harm each other.

Some of the deepest cuts we experience are from other women who have internalized the system of dominance and exploitation.

Sisters. We need to grieve this truth. And we need to feel the righteous rage of being placed into a system that creates it.
We need to heal the wounds we carry AND the program inside that we didn't ask for, so we can begin to do the work that the world is desperately crying for.

Re-wilding. Restoring the systems centered around care.

Re-worlding. Finding which roles in the herd that sing to our souls. What part of the return to matriarchy we can take up as our own, to weave together a new story.

A new world.

Not a reverse of what we have, - no. Matriarchy is not hierarchal and never has been. It is circular.
✨Systems of collaboration and council. Systems of care. ✨Systems centering the vulnerable.
✨Systems of leadership, not domination.

When the lead mare moves, the whole herd moves with her. They look to her wisdom to guide them. They trust she will lead them to safety, not dominate and exploit them. The mares, and the stallion at the back, protect the young. The vulnerable.

We will call upon the Great Mare to lead us in this immersive healing work.
Grief.
Rage.
Reflection.
Facing Shadow.
Finding forgiveness.
Receiving love.
Taking our place in the Herd.

This is Her year. The Fire Mare comes every 60 years and with Her, great change, great movements.

Will you be ready to move, when She does?

They call her a mystic.
I would call her a Witch.
Witches are so much more than what has been ascribed to them or to the word.
Language evolves and changes.. And although scholars and feminist writers love to argue over how it was women, not witches, that were burned and tortured and hanged and killed in horrific ways... To me, they absolutely were Witches.

To be a Witch, we simply need to be Other. The one who watches, is one of the original meanings of the word. Women who watched, who Saw, who stood outside the current oppressive control and either just loved and lived as authentically as they could - or women (and other magical folk) who steeped themselves into the world of Spirit in their own way, connected with the ways of nature, of the divine, or magic and/or their inner Sight - and dared to write about it, talk about it, live it, love with it - they were the disruptors, the ones who stepped outside the systems and stories told over them, and said no.
No.

That's a Witch.
So, so many were women, because the first system was patriarchy. It's the foundation of oppression that all the others are built upon.

It's still here. And we are still being killed, maimed, tortured, and violated. As we are seeing in macro lenses these days.

There are still Witches. ❤️ And we are needed now, more than ever.
🙏✨

March WWC Circle at Hearth!

The world feels heavy. Many of us are holding so much weight, collectively and personally.

Join us in an evening of soothing ~of slowing ~ and of sharing.

As we move toward the Spring Equinox and the Earth prepares itself to bring forth new life, we can turn towards our plant allies for support.

In the March Circle, our lovely Pack Sister, Tawnya, will invite you to spend some time learning and relating to a few herbal allies. You will meet these herbs through a beautiful grounding tea ritual, taking a mindful moment to connect in with yourself, and to invite in the lessons the plant allies offer.

To bring:
- small blanket and sitting cushion
- yoga mat
- journal, pen
- water bottle
- inside slippers if desired
- optional: your favourite tea mug for the tea ritual

Limited spots, so grab yours early! ❤️

What is a spell?
This here is one of the fundamental questions we walk with in Spellbound ~ the Artful Grimoire course.

Spells have a long and twisting history. From the earliest known languages, humans have used marks and symbols to manifest desires, to express hopes and wishes, to pray to their divine and in-dwelling spirits of their traditions… long before there was writing as we know it today, there were image, runes, marks, symbols, and artworks that held these magical energies.

Eventually, writing and written history came along, and with it, the first known books of magic. Not books about magic, but books of magic - personal books of magic by the practitioner. Their own workings, their own prayers, their own charms and healings and thoughts and understandings.

💫 Artists & Magical Folk have always been disruptors.
As an artist and medicine woman, I feel deeply & I am not alone in this - the majority of souls that are called to my offerings are also highly sensitive people of a variety of colours, patterns, textures, and backgrounds. For those of us who feel deeply, the world today is increasingly intense and overwhelming. There is a constant and consistent pressure to move faster, produce more, and consume more.
Between the violence and injustice of our daily headlines, there are subliminal messages that we are never doing or consuming or producing enough. And it is not solely our nervous systems that become overwhelmed; I know that for most of us, it is also a soul loss; a sense of disconnection from our soul ground and a resulting experience of illness in all aspects of our Self.
Spellbound rose out of this experience. Out of the resistance to this loss and
the need our souls are profoundly longing for.
A need to slow down.
A need to return to Craft.

In a world that is so full of chaos, we must make our own rule books - Spell Books. Grimoires. Books of spellcraft, of magic, of meaning; of growth, of healing, of relationships with the greater Mystery. And that is what we will do here in this course. Using your innate and unique creative magic, we will begin a Grimoire that will be a sacred container for your own personal journey.
