Catching Up!

So last year I focused on The Sisters of Fierceness Sabbats.  I missed posting on the last one, the Solstice of Rebirth and Renewal. We're off to a fabulous new start with a few new members this year and our Call to Adventure ritual at the beginning of February was an inspiring start to the year! This coming weekend, we're already on to celebrating our Equinox Rites of Discernment (Refusal and Acceptance).

In the meantime, with all that going on, I initiated into the Wildflower Collective at the PDX Sabbat of Prophecy and Initiation! I couldn't be more delighted! Lots ahead of me to work on, and such lovely people to work on it all with!  In the coming year, I hope to track my thoughts more along the lines of what I started out doing.  Last year went fast and while I was having all sorts of thoughts as we fleshed out the Sisters of Fierceness, I didn't always think to track them except in relation to the sabbats as they moved through the year.

March is when we start talking about the importance of Daily Practice. I do my daily practice at night before bed. Because of the time of night that is, it's really almost the first thing I do in a day.  Connecting each day with the sacred, the divine, my community in shared practice, is really grounding.  I can count on one hand the times I've missed my daily practice, and generally it's been because I've been so unwell that I could hardly stand, much less have the brain space to remember words.  Fortunately I'm not in that place too often because that's a miserable place to be!

So not going to try to hit all of the things right now, there's time, there's time, there's time. :)  But before I go -- happy International Women's Month, and o hai, today (since it's past midnight) is International Women's Day!  I'm looking forward to seeing how it's celebrated this year!
