To the Women Who Weave the World

Women are the heart and the spine of this pulsing earth — the steady rhythm that keeps life moving, the quiet strength that holds it all together.

We are the mothers, the grandmothers, the great-grandmothers — storytellers and memory keepers, passing down wisdom in whispers and lullabies.
We are the creators — the poets, the painters, the dreamers who shape beauty from dust.
We are the homemakers and the CEOs, the caretakers and the revolutionaries — balancing tenderness with fire.

We are the hands that mend broken hearts and the shoulders that carry the weight of others. We are the listeners who sit quietly when words run dry, the steady presence that makes a house a home and a world a sanctuary.

We are the fierce and the faithful — the ones who pray for those we love and those we don’t even know.
We are the warriors who bring reason where chaos reigns, the goddesses who captivate with nothing more than a smile or a touch.
We are the roots that hold firm even in drought — stretching deeper, growing stronger, finding water where none seems to flow.

We are spinners and weavers, crafting new threads when the old ones fray.
We pull from our own strength — the fiber of our hearts and wombs — and we mend the fabric of the world.
We are creators of life and of hope, stitching together what is broken, piecing beauty out of ashes.

This is what women do.

We rise.
We create.
We heal.
We carry the world in our arms and love it back to life.

Happy International Women’s Day to every beautiful, bold, bodacious, brilliant, and bountiful woman out there. You are the vine that bears the fruit, the flame that lights the way.

Much love and respect to you all — today and every day.

It’s been a great number of years with the community developing a community spot for ceremony during Solstice and Equinox. Pictures attached are from Spring Equinox 2022! Hope to see you at our Spring Equinox gathering 3/22/25

It takes a village to heal one!

"It is time to Bury the Bones back to the Soil of the Earth.

Gather the bones on your shelves, in museums and all discarded bones.

Bones of all beings need to touch the soil again.

This includes also all gold, silver, precious stones and all stones mined and stolen from the Bones of the Earth.

All Bones must return to the Ground, to the Soil and to the Soul of Gaia, Mother Earth.

The Earth needs her Bones back to support all the dead coming in mass and fast.
​
As you return them you could:

~ Sing to them songs of praise and grief to sooth them
~ Rub them in red ochre and oil if you can
~ Place them in beauty on soil or bury them .
~ Ornate them with flowers, spices and seeds.
~ Light a candle so they can see the way back home
~ Sing to them again.

This action will free the flow for all the new dead.
If you have many bones, when you bury them placed them in a circle preferably in a forest or wood.

As mushrooms and mycelium grow their filaments, by burying the bones their 'filaments' start forming and weaving a net of connection and recognition for the recent dead of Coronavirus to feel held in love ~ for all to rest in peace and honoured.

A ritual to support them all to not feel alone as they passage to the shore of their well and wise Ancestors.

By burying all the bones that have not been honourably and sacredly buried in the past ~ we open the passage for a blessed and an easier flow for the recent dead of the Corona Virus.

We are in a time of Great Reconfiguration, each of our actions and spoken words are seeds for the garden of the future. Whether we eat from it or not. Our duty of care." -Azul Thomé
