Priestess. Witch. Wild Woman.
.
The Wild Woman is in us all. She might not come out that much. Or she just might.
.
The word Wild can means so many things. It can be energetic, powerful, quietly revolutionary, deep, explosive.
.
It can have to do with nature, with movement, with our moods and emotions. There are so many ways of being wild and connecting to that energy.
.
What is WILD for you?
How does it feel in your body?
It will probably be different tomorrow.
.
When I think of WILD today and in the context of the Priestess and witch it is about the connection to Mama Earth.
It is about connecting to the elements.
Connecting to the cycles of the seasons.
Connecting to the cycles of the moon and my own cycles.
It is standing barefoot on the ground.
On Her body.
Of allowing myself to be filled with Her power, which is MY power as a woman, human, witch and Priestess.
.
Sometimes I see people asking what to do if one wants to be a witch. Where to start.
.
My answer is always to go outside and get to know the elements.
What does air feel like? What about water, earth and fire?
.
Feel them on your body, in your body and explore their energies.
That is where the journey starts. Hands on.
In nature.
Meditate. Journal. Be present.
.
Oh, and it just so happens that I have an amazing online course that helps you with this! Let me know if you want to know more about it. It is available both in English and Swedish!
It would be my pleasure to help you on your journey.
.
I love it that you are here.

Love, Elin xx

In the east on the Wheel of Ana is the element of fire.
Just imagine watching the sun rise over the horizon on a cold, crisp morning. Wrapped in a blanket, you slowly watch the colours of the sky change before She finally rises up with Her blinding light. Her warming rays reach you as She rises higher and higher.

And you breathe Her in.

You breathe in Her light, Her warmth, Her energies of rebirth.

You breathe Her into your heart and allow Her energies to touch the spark within, letting it ignite into a flame. And that flame burns brighter. Warmer.

Bringing ideas, inspiration, creativity, fun, laughter and inner strength.

Call on Her as Artha, the Great She Bear in the Sky. Shamanka from the East. Eostre. 
Call Her in to walk by your side.
Allow yourself to see and feel Her in the flickering flame of a candle. In the crackling fire. In your heart as you love or laugh.

Call on Her and She is with you.

Living with a close connection to the elements brings you closer to Goddess and to yourself.

Returning to a closer connection and understanding of the elements will bring you even further along on your journey of self development. 
It will help you understand yourself more and empower you to be stand strong as the amazing woman you are.

As always, if you have any questions pop on over to Facebook as just ask me. 

In a post a couple of weeks ago (September 8th, 2018) I started writing about my experience of holding sacred ceremonies and why I love it so much.

I wrote about the connection to Goddess and to the energies of the different elements, and how the thing that strengthens that connection is practice and presence.

I touched upon calling Goddess in but I want to share more about that and also the experience of being in sacred circle and sharing our true selves with eacher other.

Calling Goddess in
In every ceremony, as I open the circle, I call Goddess in. Goddess is One. She is One with 10,000 names. She has different faces, or aspects, like Kali, Freja, Domnu or Oshun. They are like our own different roles at home, at work, with our friends.

As I get to know the different Goddesses I can sense their energies. I know intimately how The Lady of Avalon feels. I know it in my very essence.

So when I call Goddess in I may call on specific aspects or the Great Goddess. It depends on what ceremony I am holding. And I think it is perfectly fine to call on a Goddess that you wish to know, but do not know yet. How else can you get to know Her?

You can call upon Her in meditation and see how it feels. Just breathe with it and let it be as it is. Just know She is there. There is no need to doubt.

The sharing circle
Another thing that I always include in ceremony with others is the sharing circle. Normally I ask everyone to share something about themselves and why they have decided to come.
Other times we may be focusing on gratitude, abundance or  love. I then invite the participants to share something around that. 

I love these spaces where we are held, heard and respected. When we share in sacred space there are no comments. No responses. Each person is allowed to speak without interruption. 
This so rare in our society, and it always moves me so much.

I always find that everyone brings so much magic to the space and to the circle when they share from their heart.

This is where we find sisterhood and brotherhood. In  accepting spaces where we really take the time to see other people.

I love it! I love ceremony and I LOVE guiding people into a closer connection to Goddess and the energies of nature! Interested in finding out how I can guide you on this journey? Click here or read below.

I will share more about ceremonies and my own Priestess journey in later posts.
