Yesterday was exciting. I did my very first releasing ceremony and my husband participated with me. I learned from the beautiful
Pixie Campbell and her
Mother of All Releasing Ceremonies. What an amazing teacher this wonderful woman has become, not just to me, but to so many women around the country (and a few willing men too).
 |
| strips of paper for my releasing wishes |
 |
| in the end, i had quite a few |
 |
| we gathered our materials: our wishes, lavendar, and tobacco |
 |
| we put them in the woodstove |
 |
| release!!! |
 |
| we said a prayer as the bundles burned. then we watched them turn to ash. |
I have to say, this felt really good. What made it even better was knowing that so many other amazing people were doing the exact same thing with the exact same intention. Powerful stuff, I tell you! I'm definitely doing this every year. My thanks goes out to Pixie, for introducing me to this and so many other wonderful things.
And now, rest. Because I have actually come down with a cold.
This is lovely.
