Join me as we weave the magic of nature into our souls through rituals & practices.
Do you wish for a day of empowerment and deep spiritual healing but have limited time for self care?
Would you like spend time doing practices that lead to greater self awareness and inner peace ?
Would you like to be guided in spiritual practices and feel the wisdom of nature speak through you and to you? Have you tried meditation or yoga but find your soul searches for something deeper?
Do you want to learn more about shamanic practices and the Celtic wisdom of these lands?
My name is Raven Woman and I have been a practicing healer, teacher and therapist for over 15 years.
It would be my pleasure to take you on a magical journey in one day.
Spring Equinox: Awakening the Energy of Renewal
The Spring Equinox is a time of perfect balance-day and night, light and dark, winter and summer meeting in harmony before the scales tip toward warmth and growth. Nature awakens, the earth softens, and life stirs once more. The first buds emerge, birds return, and the energy of renewal pulses through the land.
This is a season of germination and intention—a time to plant the seeds of our dreams, projects, and transformations. As the earth bursts into life, we are invited to step into our own power of creation.
The Dance of the Goddess and the Horned God
At this time of year, the Goddess emerges in her Maiden aspect-free, wild, and full of promise. She embodies new beginnings, untamed potential, and the fresh energy of change. She is the fertile earth, awakening
At this time of year, the Goddess emerges in her Maiden aspect-free, wild, and full of promise. She embodies new beginnings, untamed potential, and the fresh energy of change. She is the fertile earth, awakening from winter's sleep, ready to create and nurture new life.
The God, in his Horned form as Cernunnos,
rises as the Oak King, young and tilled witt vitality. He represents the unstoppable surge of spring's energy-the stirring of growth, the call to adventure, and the promise of abundance. He is strength and passion, yet still learning to wield his power with wisdom.
Together, they dance in harmony, mirroring the balance of the Equinox-the cycle of life renewing itself, the interplay of masculine and feminine, of action and flow.
A Time for Planting and Reflection
Just as nature begins its cycle of rebirth, we, too, are called to plant seeds of intention—both in the earth and in our own lives.
• What do you wish to cultivate this year?
• What do you wish to cultivate this year?
* What old energy can you release to make space for growth?
Where do you feel the spark of new
beginnings?
What needs your care, focus, and
attention?
Embody the energy of unbridled growth, life and death, beginnings and change at this sacred time. Meet with the goddess and cernunnos abd we journey within, to reflect and rebirth.
We create such a bond when we come together as combrogus.
