Welcome here to A Year & A Day and our 13 month journey into the seasons of women’s lives through story and emergent collaborations. This episode is an added wee bonus to our regular cycle of full moon/new moon posts and I’m beaming like the sun in delighted to welcome cultural architect, Adriana Forte back to A Year & A Day.
Her work, her vision and the gifts that she shares have been a huge influence on my cyclical journey, and also this 13 month exploration here on A Year & A Day!
Adriana joined me on AYAD in April sharing about the power of our cyclicity as we were moved into the Maiden phase and she has also contributed to the Gathering of Stories podcasts about Menarche and Birth Stories. Well worth checking out if you haven’t yet and revisiting if you have.
If you identify as being in the Mage/Matriarch phase - welcome!
If you will one day arrive into this phase of magic and power - welcome!
If you have a loved who is here - welcome!
And, if you are just curious, looking to go deeper in to the terrain of your life and/or are drawn to alchemy/transformation & healing - welcome!
Exploring Mage is my jam right now and it is the phase I’m in at this time of my life. And - I am just beyond excited to dig deeper here for a number of reasons (too many to list now) and…the Mage/Matriarch has a deeper mystery inherent in her and she is the season of change, of transformation, of magic, of healing and of a deeper more integrous power of the feminine. Power that once awakened is flowing to serve the collective. The Mage is no hero, or savior (in my experience) and she has the capacity, experience and alchemy within her to support deep collective shifts. Bring it on, bring her in!
