When we became a family, we had a dream that we would find friends ready to gather and celebrate the beauty in this time. 

We imagined friends co-creating holidays, 
and sharing the lessons of the season with our children.

We imagined husbands and wives connecting for relationship support, through the mirrors of like minded parents.

We imagined regular potlucks and dinner dates, where we’d cook together and lovingly share a meal.

We imagined creating connections that support each other when we are sick, 

and we’ll always show up for birthday parties!

Furthermore, we imagined sharing our art and our gifts with other families. Sharing our Magick. 

~*~*~*~>>

We didn’t anticipate was how hard the first years of parenting would be.
Or, how lonely we would feel when we were the only ones inviting friends to dinner.

With time we realized that if I’d like people gather, then we’d have to create workshops. 
Because that’s what people know these days.

Our concern is how to keep the sweetness, soul and purity of a community~ 
when presenting a workshop. 

In our minds workshops have a masculine edge to them. 
And often have a feeling of separation compared to feminine community ideals. 

So! We’re not hosting workshops. We’re hosting experiences. 

And at these experiences, we will embody how we feel Family life can be.
Using a little Magick. Much Creativity. And always sharing our Truth at :

* Holiday Dinners
* Activities for the Children
* Experiences for Couples
* and Places for Adults Explore themselves

All of this is important in the Family Phase of life. 

May we learn to balance it all!
The best that we can.

And may the content we create on this platform overflow onto whoever desires the same things as us.

Love,
Aurora, Adam, and Atreyu

** MY BODY IS AN ALTAR **

Fashion Magick AFFIRMATION:
“When I wear this Frida vest I’m brave.
“BE YOU” says to the world that I am unique. And I choose to differentiate from beauty norms.
I live as me, for me.

>>>>

FRIDA KAHLO is a feminist icon because she is BRAVE!

Frida shows ALL herself ~ as she explores herself.
She paints what she sees, the good, the bad and the ugly. 

She painted her body deformities. 
She showed off her mustache and her unibrow.

She wore men’s clothing in a time when no one did so. 
And then she continued to develop her own body altar, based on what she saw as female empowerment.

She never followed the norms.

Frida didn’t care about being liked!
She was about being TRUE to herself.

So, my jacket now says “BE YOU” on it.

~*~*~*~

~Yes, I sewed a mustache on her image ~

Most of Frida’s images are mass produced. They show her with a white washed face, with no mustache and a minimized unibrow. 

This is everything Frida was against!

When I realized I was showing off one of her mass produced images,

I proudly, sewed a mustache on her. And I emphasized her unibrow.

Unfortunately, the embroidery thread made the mustache TOO pronounced.

And luckily, taking out the thread ~ left a nice, hole punched mustache.

I just want to accurately portray Frida’s statement… the way i understand it.

~~~~>>>

FASHION MAGICK AFFIRMATION:
“When I wear this Frida vest I’m BRAVE.
I accept the totally unique parts of myself. 

“BE YOU” says to the world that I am beautiful exactly as I am. I live as me, for me.

He would be the sun to my moon
And together we would be whole

I didn’t realize that in our agreement,
our shadows would be revealed.

We illuminate each others weaknesses,
First Purging the easiest waste…

Then simply holding space –
for the hardest shadows in each other.
Praying that they will move in the each other’s timing. 

…. 🌀

Through my marriage, 
I learned that Tantra
Is about each one of us finding our wholeness,

While acknowledging that we are complements of each other.

The ideals of the sun and the moon end quickly, when we think we can live our own life as one or the other. 

It’s like, expecting our partner will be our legs to walk. Our needing the other to express our emotions.

It doesn’t get us far. 
☀️ 🌙

I’ve also learned that becoming an alchemical couple is not just being:

“Mary Magdalene and Jeshua”
Like the Priestesses of the Rose Path 🌹 would have us believe

🐍 It’s being Lilith and Adam healing our wounds from the Garden of Eden

🔻It’s being Isis and Osiris, 
As we reclaim pieces of ourselves.

🔥 It’s being Hades and Persephone stuck as King and Queen of the underworld

🌈 It’s being Shiva and Shakti embodying all 10,000 faces. And yet! We are still compliments holding hands. 

And yes,
🌹 It’s being Jesus and Mary too. 

Each face has its place on the WHEEL.
And so each face will have its time within a relationship.

☀️ 🌙 🌈

Since I got married and had a child,
I’ve dedicated myself to understanding Alchemy.

And in doing so,
I need to face shadows… and not run away from them.

(I’m a Sagittarius Rising and a Venus in Virgo, I definitely want to run away from shadows.)

But in my grind,
I’ve realized that I can’t idealize –

that my tantric partner should be my “perfect partner.”

Disney has Died.
My partner is now the person I’ve picked to walk with.

I’m willing to witness him in his darkness. Even when it hurts me too.

It’s a choice. 

Not a destiny. 

And it is work. 

What do we get from this work?

We learn Unconditional LOVE ❤️ 
And about REAL, hard earned LOVE!

We learn healthy boundaries,
and also the importance of surrender
or when sacrifice is necessary.

And we come to an Acceptance ~

that allows us to live on planet earth, as it is.

There is peace there.

The post I’m in a Tantric Union and it’s way HARDER than I thought it’d be appeared first on FaeTerra.

Dearest Atreyu,
I have chosen you,
my son ☀️ ,
for this hero’s journey.

It will not be easy.

It will have hard knox.
There will be heart breaks.
But there will also be ecstasy.

The world is confused and backward.
Many people do not see the light.

I will guide you to see this,
I will guide you to bring some light to those who do not see.

Connect with your Mother.
She is a seer
Speak to her about your journey

Find Strength with your Father
He is a spear for this new world,
and an anchor in dark times.

Then, you will need to walk your journey alone.

Alone is where you will gather your keys to unlock doors.

Know, that there will be many doors.
Choose wisely.
For each door unlocks a different reality.
And often, you cannot go back.

My hope Atreyu,
is that you will follow me.
To fight the monsters and provide more safety for the people.

It is your choice.
You are chosen.
And strongly Advised.

In Mental Strength,
Your Goddess ATHENA

The post Athena’s prayer for my son Atreyu appeared first on FaeTerra.

His WHITE robe signifies his purity, his freedom from sin… and his connection to the divine white light that links us to GOD.

But should a Priestess of the Goddess wear white, too?

In Tantra and the most ancient traditions of alchemy, GOD wears white and the Goddess wears RED.

This is because SHE is the embodied aspect of the divine.
When GOD is in heaven, She is of the Earth.
When God is the Light, She is the Dark.
When he is the Semen, She is the Blood.

Together, these two aspects create source consciousness.

And ~
For those who worship HER ~
She reminds us not to look to the divine above… but within.

For within the walls of HER red womb~ she feels HER connection to her ancestors.

She wears Red, to match the color of Mary Magdalene’s robes.
Red to represent the passion and wildness of women who were burned at the stake.
Red, like the apple eaten by Eve.
Red, like our moon blood.
Red, like the root chakra, the symbol of embodiment.

So when a Priestess facilitates a ceremony on behalf of the Goddess, she wears RED~ this is the color of her power… of her HERstory… of her blood lineage.
RED reminds everyone that she is the complementary counterpart to the male GOD.

The post A Priestess of the Goddess Wears RED appeared first on FaeTerra.

I’m sitting in front of my birth altar contemplating the RED THREAD.

You know… the red thread that permeates all life.
The thread that connects us….

Red, like our womb walls that house our soul’s spiral.

This red thread reminds us that life is a labyrinth~
of past and future…

we are healing our ancestors and raising new children.
We are the above and the so below.

~~~~🌙

Feeling all of this,

I am tracing my “birth labyrinth cloth” with an actual red thread.
(Picture below).

This labyrinth reminds me that my birth may not be straight forward…

My labor journey may be short or very long…

& I have no idea what I will encounter!

But preparing myself for the unknown seems to be a part of this rite of passage.

To find peace in my lack of control,

I remind myself that the birth journey is connected to far more than I can understand!

How my baby wants to be born,
and what I am clearing from my womb for my grandmothers…

Is up to the mystery.

~~~~🌙

Of course I can prepare myself to open my womb!

I can undulate my hips and feel my baby.
I can tone with voice… and cycle energy with my breath.

Truly,
I am so grateful that I have spent the last decade immersed in the blood mysteries, investigating the sexual arts, in service to my shadow work, and unabashedly unraveling myself in circle.

All of this will help!

~~~
But the only thing I can really do to help myself psychologically, is to surrender to all that comes.

And trust.
….

I trust that everything happens for a reason,
because I know that everything is connected.

I may not fully understand these connections…

Or why painful or beautiful things need to happen~

But I remember…
Just because I cannot understand what is invisible,
does not mean that it is not real! And very important.

Much of what we experience in life,
is to heal things that live in the unseen.

~~~🌙

Women are the keepers of the mysteries of life.
We are the ones tracking the moon with our womb.

And the moon waxes and wanes from light to dark, from the known to the unknown.

It’s the understanding that life is balanced by this light and dark, that helps humans find meaning on Earth.

It shows us that our experiences are a part of a much larger puzzle.

We are purging the past, and we are creating the future.

Every hard hit, brings us to the next turn on our labyrinth.

We are each, simply a part of the thread~ in this grand web.

Being a Witch is an interesting thing ….

W.I.T.C.H
“Woman in Total Control of Herself”

Or
“Wild and Intuitive Tantric CUNTsultant and Healer”

A Woman who wills her own destiny~

A Woman who lives as a reflection of nature.

A Woman who visions alternative realities.

A woman who heals
……

And what has fascinated me most about us,
Is that there are so many types of us!

Star-Witches, Temple Priestesses, Old School Solitary witches, Black cloaked Wiccans, Tantric Educators, Wild Woman Artist Witches, New World Activist Witches, Yogic Fusion Witches, Herbalist Witches, Mermaidens & Musical Sirens, Old Ways Pagan, Birthing Mother Goddesses, mainstream Bridgers and Shapeshifters ….

We are all devotees of the Goddess.

But not every Goddess circle ~
is for every type of witch.

The journey to discovering your type of magick is uniquely yours.

And finding your community
is like looking for your own finger print.

We are each very special.

But when you find YOUR Coven-
It’s like- finding the other pieces of you.

And you know your place in the Web.

*~*~*~*~*~*

For all the sisters who have danced with me under the MOON…
Thank you for being my kind of witch.

SHE:
To know the stars of course!

At one time, we were all ONE light.

Then~ a BIG BANG happened–
and that light scattered into many pieces and parts.

When humans make love, they find pieces of their star again.

Through relationship humans feel closer to source.
