When History Knocks at the Door
The Revolutionary Spirit is rising, igniting the fire in the hearts, bellies, and heads of every day Americans. The egregore of the Sons of Liberty is rising, feeding the rippling vibrations beneath our feet. Its power inspires us to do what we can to offer our voice to the chorus of the opposition. There is…

Our Work, Our Magick, Our Power
Look to your inner fire and call it up before you. Carefully burn away all that does not serve you – the anger, resentment, hatred, and fear. Allow the ashes to nurture and free you. Remember that some seeds can only break open when they are met with great heat and force, initiating a change…

The Morrigan and the Power of Transformation
November. The month when we slip off the masks of revelry we share in October and dissolve into the liminal space and dying light. Kissed by the chilling winds that kick up, we begin to pull a little closer into ourselves. Perhaps we breathe a little slower, a little calmer. Opening the door to a…

The Magick of the Season
When the air turns a little cooler and the sun sets a little earlier, a feeling arises within each of us. It is an enchanting time, the autumn season, especially here in New England. As the October chill begins to nip at our fingers and nose, we reach out to the warming teas and ciders…

Layers Through Time
This blog completes the recent series I have been posting for you. While the first two pieces, “Giving Voice”, and “For Those Who Have Gone Before Us”, offered the history of the Brattleboro Retreat Tower, this article documents my hike up to the top of the hill. It may seem out of sequence, but it…

For Those Who Have Gone Before Us
I recently visited the Brattleboro Retreat Tower. It is a place that holds a long history and such a presence. While it was intended to be a groundbreaking facility, and it certainly was in many respects, there are chapters in its past that range from disturbing to heartbreaking, just like all psychiatric facilities of their…

Giving Voice
I have been trying to finish a blog about a particular location in Vermont that we went to recently. It is a place that holds a certain kind of history that quickly conjures images and emotions long before you arrive and captivates you once you enter its grounds. As I was writing, I realized it…

Beginnings and Endings
The last few mornings have held such a silence. Maybe it is the cool, crisp air opening the gateway to autumn. Maybe it is the fading song of the crickets beneath the awakening sun that paints the coming of the morning in its golden light. Maybe it is the peace within myself that has been…

An Open Letter of Gratitude to the Points of Light in My Life
I remember sitting on my bed as a preteen, writing by the light of the street lights till all hours of the night. Page after page I would fill my notebooks with poetry, short stories, thoughts, and reflections. I would dream of the ways my life would unfold. A million different outcomes were created and…

Layers of Lifetimes
There are moments when we dream of far-off places and of a time that has been long forgotten. Hazy pictures within our minds are painted. They create landscapes, uncover memories, and perhaps even pieces of ourselves are revealed as the mist dissipates. The fuzzy images become clearer as we emerge from the shadows, gathering strength…

Listening to the Still, Small Voice

Life Always Finds A Way
The darkness covers like a blanket as the small stirrings of light begin to make their way towards the horizon.

Through Cracks In the Ice
There is something about the early spring snowstorms that I love. Yes, there is snow. It is cold. Ferocious winds blow. The trees bend and branches whip around.

It was an early mid-September morning, and we were already out. The light was shining, but the sun still hid behind the Catskill mountains.

Sometimes it is a struggle to find the ‘right’ words to say or message to give. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be creative. We encourage ourselves to make a space for our passion and do what we love. While we forge our own way, we are bombarded by ads, photos, and ‘inspirational…

Out of the Shadows
There are times when we need to take a deep breath and step out of our own shadow and into a space that is different from what we are comfortable with. Often, this is done when we are not fully sure how we will land. I know it is not easy. I know it is not something to take lightly. Yet, there comes a time when continuing on the same comfortable path is no longer an option. So, this is where I find myself in the present moment.
After a few years of toying with the idea, I decided to create a website a few months ago. I am sure that it is a step that seems like a no brainer to some on their path. For me, it is something quite different. I have always teetered on the edges of “Yes! Let’s do this!” and “Who the heck am I to be out there in the world like that?” This is a dance I have partnered with for just about my entire life. It’s funny, I often get a confused look from people when I tell them that. “You always seem like you have no trouble at all getting out there and going after the things you want.” If they only knew what was going on behind the polite smile and tilt of my head in response to them.
There have been so many experiences in my life where I struggled to stand in front of others expressing my beliefs. I would get butterflies in my stomach. I would need to remind myself to take deep breaths, to ground, and center. I think that it is part of the process. I also think that it is part of life. What we decide to do with it is up to us. Those decisions will also open up a road to a new adventure or leave us in the same living space.
I have been doing a lot of self-reflection this year and that brought me to a few simple thoughts. In this moment, this time and place we call ‘2020’, so many things are shifting and changing. As a result, I could not stay in a place mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that I was not comfortable in. I could feel the energy around me tighten. I could sense that what I was doing wasn’t really working. I didn’t feel that I was living in an authentic way anymore. My throat felt closed. My heart was heavy. My thoughts were pushing and pulling me in different directions. Even my physical body was yelling at me to take notice from my injured ankle to my tight, dry, and itchy skin. I was in a place that no longer suited me. After some realizations and a whole lot of magick, I decided I needed to take my step forward – even if I didn’t feel like I could do it. The time for change was upon me. I chose to take the leap forward into a place that was new and a little bit scary. What that has shown me, is that there is a whole lot of room to grow in a space that has a lot potential for even more possibilities.
It is my intention with this site to inspire you. I hope to show you that you have the potential to create a space for your dreams to grow. You are living in these difficult times for a reason. You have medicine in your soul. You have voice that needs to be heard. You have a heart that is worthy of being loved and giving love. You are deserving of a space that offers you support and a safe place to land when all feels dark. I am one person, one voice, one heart. Together, we can make foundation where we can build a place of hope and promise in a time where so many are searching for it. We can be that hope because I believe that we are that hope. I look forward to meet you and see what can be built upon this journey.
Blessings to you and yours,
Renee
Writing for the Morrigan
As I sit outside in my yard on the grass, writing under one of my favorite trees, I feel as if I am being watched by the crows today. All day they have been calling, flying overhead, watching in the trees, and even encircling me this afternoon. I have the distinct feeling that I need to begin to take action, and the time is now. So, as I sit in my sacred space, I begin…
…The time has come for the tides to change…
…We all have our gifts that are needed within our society. We are healers, weavers, poets, dreamers, warriors, visionaries, creators, organizers, seers, and leaders. But to achieve full potential, our full potential, we must first acknowledge that we are these things. What makes you, you? What talents do you possess? What gift do you bring into this life? Not all of us can be on the frontlines, waging every battle. What we need to create the change is for us to look within ourselves, heal, and reach out into our circles. Work in the areas that you are strong, passionate, and talented in. Band together with a common cause and unite. There is strength in numbers. I choose to raise my voice and add my song to the chorus.”
