We Be Back.
In this in-between time of this eclipse season and with the seasons shifting, I find myself remembering, as if this threshold is somehow calling the past forward to meet my present again and again.
Every now and then I have had flickers of my past pass through me…
A few years ago I fell to my knees and screamed as tears streamed from my eyes into the makeup-stained carpet of my bedroom floor. My body remembered the pain, the anger, the pure rage that engulfed me as I witnessed my friends, family, community being caught, trapped and hung, drowned or burnt at the stake. A part of me couldn’t believe what was searing through my entire being, and yet my womb, my heart, my throat, resonated with the truth of this feelings and recollection so well. This was not my imagination; this had been a real experience, this had been my life, a long time ago.
I had been a “witch”, a woman of the earth, a woman of love, connected to her sacredness, a woman who knew the sovereignty and power of all women. A woman who could not, not connect with spirit. Spirit flowed through her with every breath, ignited her with every word she spoke, sung, gave. Spirit wrapped her up at night and woke her in the morning as the sunshine, beaming through the leaves. She was spirit, just as spirit lives as the trees, the birdsong and the ocean waves, spirit lives as us, as you and as me.
Here we are again, generations later. Here again, to reconnect, remember and reclaim our sacredness, our sovereignty, our truth as women.
Witches be back.
We Be Back.
After the feelings had begun to peter out I pulled my self off my knees and sat on my bedroom floor looking up out of my window into the movement of the sky above. As I watched the clouds pass I asked spirit why I needed to remember this and why now. This is what I received:
“Change is coming and you are part of this change, part of forging a new direction on this earth, you and thousands, if not millions, of others. You sometimes need to remember where you have been to know where you are going.”
This was a very uncertain time in my life, I’d broken up with a long-term boyfriend, moved into a tiny room at the top of a big house share and felt a little lost, not that I would have admitted that then.
"I asked, “Where am I going? Why am I here?”
“You’ve been on a long journey to find your voice, and you are here to guide, inspire and support other women in finding theirs.”
When I hold a Circle I feel my ancestors from many generations before gather around us, holding us, protecting us, feeling so, so proud. We are bringing back the simple yet sacred act of coming together with an intention to connect to the truth of who we are.
These women are not separate from me, they are me, because I was them. We are all connected, and when we return to spirit after this life, there will be no division. In Circle I feel this lack of division between myself and the rest of the women who sit with me, maybe we gathered like this before with each other, a long time ago.
I have shared a beautiful song that I feel captures the essence and meaning of what I am sharing here in this “stream of consciousness”.
I hope you know you are part of something bigger, I hope you know that by simply speaking you can heal the wound of being unheard, controlled or persecuted for being you. A healing that can travel many generations back into the past and forward into the future. A healing that can reverberate from you to all of the women known and unknown around you.
I hope you know how sacred, sovereign and powerful you are, just because you are a woman, a woman who is of the earth, of love, of spirit.
This is our natural state.
