Hello, Old Friend!

Demeter Rejoices Once Again

Before Easter, there was Eostre, the earth goddess of spring and renewal. Pagan lore tells us that her eggs are sacred signs of fertility and abundance; of the land and of its creatures.  The hare is also a sacred symbol, a faithful companion, sacred, wild, and fertile.  Birds are building nests, deer make their grass beds in the thick of marshes, and the sounds of peeper frogs begin to fill the cool night air when Eostre reappears through the mist.

I haven’t written on this platform in a very long time.  It feels like a refreshing surprise to me to be here again, at this time of renewal, as I sprout and expand at the same time as the land.  I’d like to think this urge to write here again is a respectful nod to Eostre. 

Over the past 18 months, I’ve experienced the devastating loss of my husband and continue to learn how to live life all over again, raising a tween, a teen, and making sure  I don’t completely lose my adult child from the loss of her father.

I’m transforming into someone entirely new because my past life no longer exists. That might seem obvious, but it’s a realization that's been settling into my energy and nervous system most recently.  The newness of my life reflects the posture of the new grass I’m starting to see in my yard, and the tiny leaves sprouting from the garden.   I’ve been thinking a lot about the legend of Persephone emerging into the upper world after spending the dark months in the underworld. The thawed landscapes, muddy mornings, and green sprouts emerge as Demeter’s gifts, showing her love and gratitude for seeing her daughter once again.  Death. Life.  Rebirth. The cycle continues.

My intuitive nature and clarity about my work are also becoming clearer the more slowly and authentically I walk my new path. My compassionate helping spirits, protectors, guides, Ancestors & angels have all been dutifully by my side, holding me and gently moving me to where I need to go, when I need to go.  It fills me with a sense of purpose and joy as I move more fully toward service once again. 

I am still offering one-on-one sessions via Zoom; email me to schedule. I also invite you to join me and a sweet group of souls for the New Moon Ceremony in April at the Yurt, my good friend and colleague’s spiritual healing space in Kingston, NH. 

All things new! It seemed only appropriate that I start collaborating again on a New Moon in April.

Finally, if you haven’t already, I am also over on Substack, where I write about love, loss, and healing from a shamanic medium’s perspective. 

Thank you for reading this and for your continued support.  If you think that anyone would benefit from my words or ceremony, please forward this to them.   

Happy Hare Day! 😉
