We can choose
to fill our lives with tasks
and to do's,
plans and people,
obligations and expectations,
or we can stop.
We can step back and in.
We can leave margins for magic.
We do not have to sacrifice connection,
but we can let go of compulsion.
We can invite ease.
We can remember where we belong,
right here,
cradled in the belly of this moment,
in the sacred unfolding.
This week's shop update is one I’ve been looking forward to all year! Our new Galaxy sculpt is ready in our special pigment blend honoring Tanit (the African goddess of stars/the universe) for June. Yes, I know I’m getting a little ahead of myself and it is still May, but we are going on a short trip and the shop will be closed from May 30-June 6th, so we decided earlier was better than later!
This week's magic:
11 minute video: savoring life’s sweetness
New online t-shirt shop!
Note: the shop will be closed May 30-June 6. We will have a small mid-week update on May 28th instead of the 30th (mainly color experiments). Regular weekly newsletters will then resume on June 13th.
Resource Reminders:
I’m exploring Walking with Persephone section by section in weekly audios on Patreon! Feel free to join us! Or, just order the book and read on your own. :)
An Introduction to Goddess Studies continues this week with another free post in this unfolding online class series.

Life’s Bits and Pieces:
Our nervous systems
need both space for connection
and space for reflection.
There is a sweet satisfaction
to uncovering the balance
that both soothes
and strengthens you.
Reading:
just got: The Third Daughter (another YA surprise from the library). Apparently about legacy, sisterhood, and betrayal. I haven’t started it yet, so I don’t really know!
to self: Awakening Artemis. I can’t seem to manage to finish this one, but I will. For real.
to kids: Crystal Keepers. Book three in the Five Kingdoms series.
Looking forward to:
brief family trip to Wisconsin!
having some time off and a little break.
starting to work on my next book.
summer library programs.
Gentle June! This theme emerged out of our most recent live Simple and Sacred circle and I’m flowing with it. Welcoming guest contributions related to this theme to the Goddess Magic Patreon.
Savoring Life’s Sweetness
Reminder: Embrace life's sweetness, honor the Earth, and cultivate a conscious, connected spiritual practice that recognizes the sacredness in every moment.
Journal questions to consider:
Do you have room for delight, joy, and pleasure?
Can you allow sweetness to swell in your being?
How can you focus on what good you can contribute?
Are you able to find compassion and forgiveness?
In what ways do you honor the land you walk upon?
How can you celebrate the good in your life?
Affirmations for the week:
I am grounded in great strength.
I honor the land I walk upon.
I am a child of Gaia.
I allow pleasure and sweetness to guide me.
I continue to offer good to this world.
I am part of the Earth and the Earth is part of me.
I celebrate the good in my life.
I allow sweetness to swell within my being.
I believe in original blessing,
the first breath we take,
that we ever opened our eyes at all.
This is a miracle.
We are touched by grace
and awakened by love.
May we find refuge in knowing
that this is where we come from,
a force so irresistible and strong,
that she spun an entire universe
from nothingness into now.
Much love,
Molly, Mark, + Family
