13 offerings
autumn 2018. 13 womxn, queer & non-binary folx of our new moon circle gather in ceremony and embody forms of the goddess, deity and earth elements.
13 Offerings Intent Written by Jen Maramba + Cathleen Calica:
With the help of the Weavers Oracle, we received guidance and inspiration. In recent months, Mama Jen received loving guidance from your spirit guides to create playful space for the New Moon Circle to safely explore the embodiment of divination messages and to also create a space for people to come out of the “broom closet”, to step confidently in their healers path through “art” and play as a community. To also challenge ideas of “art” and a way to express the meaning of ceremony, ritual, worship, self-worship and allowing our community to be a witness of our BEcoming! For Cat, she wanted a safe, sacred space for community to step into their power, play and create imaginary yet, truth revealing selves through photograph & textiles with full intention; to be able to see reflections of our spiritual selves through the process of a creative and community presentation.

messages / teachings
The body knows when cycles must end. Shadows and outworn patterns surface, ready to be seen. You are ready to be reborn. Love is the plan, the plan is Death. Feel to heal, grieve what’s been lost, give gratitude to what has served you in Love. Transform, and make space for the new ancient ways that call your wild soul to birth itself again.
Fire brings: discomfort, heat, moulting, shifting skins. Your body knows the way. Trust its guidance, its rhythms. Let the heart lead again. There are other ways to See, more loving ways to Be.
Waters: cleansing, tears, salt and sweat, released. You are an ocean, a body of water carrying memories, ancestral wisdom in the blood. Open. Love your body, touch your body, hold your body. Land in your body. A mirror for your dancing spirit within.
All is change, all is flux. Death is the pathway to possibility; rememory, evolution, growth.
