November's Woo Corner
|
Good morning, Glories! Like many of you, I am writing to you from a very beautiful morning where the feeling of hope permeates my body like an unfamiliar but very welcome blue tsunami. For anyone that took Overcoming the Imposter: Somatic Witchcraft for Artists, remember this feeling. Where it lives in the body. It's shape, color, temperature, sensation. How to put it on like a snuggy. We will need it, and we're getting a rare moment of experiencing it organically. What a day! For those of you who are new (hi! welcome!) I use this monthly broadcast to sum up all the corners of the internet I whisper to, give you any news from my lair, and to deliver Woo Corner. So if you're ever curious if you've missed something from my Queendom, you'll find it here each month. If you're just here for the woo, you can find it at the bottom of this email. Otherwise, have yourself a tasty beverage and rest here for a while. You are very welcome here. From the Podlycast:Audacity Works is a podcast inspired by and dedicated to the working artist, the creative entrepreneur, and generally doin the damn thing. Episodes air every Wednesday at 6am EST, wherever you get your podcasts. October marked the FOUR YEAR anniversary of Audacity Works, as well as passing the 50,000 downloads benchmark. To all of you who allow me to keep you company on your drives to work, while walking your dogs, or folding your laundry, THANK YOU for being here. Without you I'm just a woman talking to herself. October's aural offerings included:
From the Patreon:October's inner sanctum snacks included: A Blooper Reel Treat for YouI freakin love blooper reels. I'm ok at making them, but this one was made by Max Cooper, and it is one of my favorite things I have seen in a long time. Starring Heather Bentley, from the making of her aerial dance film Cailleach: New Concept! Need your brainsOne of the beautiful things about Patreon is I can ask really juicy questions, and my patrons are incredibly insightful, so I get really good answers. This was one of those posts, so many thanks to those of you who commented, or texted me, or emailed me, with your thoughts. I am so freakin honored to be in this space with you. From Headquarters:The inaugural launch of The Order of Medusa is complete, and myself and the crew of spectacular gorgons set sail into the unknown together. Thank you for your grace and support these past two weeks! For anyone who has been asking if there will be another cycle and when- the best place to know about that is the interest list. You can join the interest list here! The interest list will be my first stop in the likely event of a future cycle of The Order. November's Woo CornerFor November's pull, I went minimalist. Not just the pull, but the deck- the Reductive Tarot, gifted to me courtesy of an evening years ago when Aisling and Jenny were hanging out (thank you bbs!). November's pull is: The Ace of Wands heralds the essentialism of the generative powers of the life force itself. FIRE. The element that allows civilization, warmth, cooked food, streetlamps, creativity, sensuality, passion. The Ace is the essence of this life-giving element in its purest form. It's a wonderous thing. Also, by itself, it doesn't do anything. The essence of the element of fire contains all the possibility and potential of a world we can't even imagine yet- it has the keys to open any door. But much like a key, by itself it just...exists. Fire needs a channel. No nourishment or direction, and it either burns out or burns down a building. But when treated with care, given the respect of its potential, it can become anything. Anything. Enjoy the warmth of your fire today. Feel it, acknowledge it, know it, appreciate it. And know that the act of channeling it appropriately belongs solely to us. What gets nourished, what gets fed, and what gets ignited are our choices to make. Enjoying the ignition THOROUGHLY over here! From my warmth to yours, Don't go back to sleep. xoRachel |
