<p>Welcome here, as the red-winged blackbirds sing of new life, in the full pink moon season of The Maiden, as we spiral deeper into this 13 month journey - A Year & A Day. </p><p>Today we are ripe for the feminine initiation of descent and rebirth, and connecting & holding our inner maidens with a retelling of a 3500 year old myth, part of the sacred Eleusinian Mysteries from the Cult of Persephone & Demeter. </p><p>While our focus at this time is the Maiden’s journey, this particular retelling also radiates the interdependence & connection with the essential and active roles of the Mother and the Crone energies. These phases including the Mage/Matriarch phase are all inside us and present throughout our lives, as women folx. </p><p>A mingling, holistic, cyclical and spiraling of experience and transformation. Mind blow, huh?</p><p>The Heroine’s Journey, the alchemical soul path of the Feminine is the story of descent and then…rebirth. </p><p>If you are new to this pod-space, new to relating with your body & soul, with living & ancient stories, I invite you to listen with your whole body; rest in the story, breathe with the story as you listen, stay in the story, stay with the sequential unfolding of images, and stay in your body. This is a practice that can be awkward or even uncomfortable work, it can also be joyous, and can reveal that which you are ready to hear, feel, see, release & know. Hell and eff yes!</p><p>Afterwards, gently reflect on the images (more than the meaning, if possible), notice images that charmed you, and notice images that troubled you, make an offering, a gift of something to the story ( don’t overthink this, and it can be a simple gesture).</p><p>Perhaps, after a few hours, days, weeks of just soaking in the images of the story, then reflect on what this story means to you particularly through the experience of the Maiden.</p><p><strong>What is your relationship with your Maiden within? </strong></p><p><strong>Does your own maiden’s journey resonant with the story? </strong></p><p><strong>When have you known the mythic, soul journey of descent, and return?</strong></p><p><strong>What sacred dance, what holy joy can you embody to call forth youthful, underworldly parts ? What might that feel like? Can you give that to yourself? Who are your allies? </strong></p><p><strong>How might the healthiest, most balanced and alive Mother or Crone within you, support your inner Maiden’s return?</strong></p><p>Please, if you can give yourself even 5-10 minutes to reflect, journal, share your experience with this story, with the Maiden within you. If tears need to flow, a big ass pink permission slip for you, to allow that release.</p><p>Yours in the wholeness of the whole-mess,</p><p>Much love,</p><p>Tracy</p><p></p><p></p><p>PS.
