“Magic, for me, is a short word for a tricky concept. One that is easy to experience but hard to put into words. Magic takes up where modern science and philosophy leave off. It floods into every entangled space of being and reveals itself slowly. It requires that we enter into experience embodied and unafraid of the dark and the strange. Magic has at its heart a livingness, a responsiveness, a reciprocal consciousness that science does not recognise. It allows space for the soul. For transformation beyond logic. For the impossible, the improbable, the longed for. It both allows us – and the universe – more agency. And the possibility of creative collaboration. It has at its heart a web of interbeing that only ecologists and quantum physicists in mainstream culture can really grasp. It embraces the unseen. Without needing to try and see it. It accepts the darkness of mind and logical knowing and embraces the reality of divergent non-repeatable lived experience and revelation. It is a s

“I write for each one of us who is remembering what magic is… what it means…what it can be… We, who are remembering that it matters. We, who are exploring how to better work with the power and cycles of the natural world. We, who are learning how to unite our will, voice, intention, imagination and action to make the impossible possible. The sea helps us to remember that magic is all around us, if we have the will to see it. It is the flicker, the glimmer, the moment that causes a sharp intake of breath, the unexpected, the rediscovered, the cherished, the improbable, the miraculous in the midst of the mundane. It is sunbeams dancing on waves and moonbeams silvering the land. The eerie glow of bioluminescence illuminating a dark sea and fog’s disappearing spell. It is the stars appearing each night, rainbows hidden in water drop lets and the silent power of riptides. It is a flock of birds flying patterns in the sky, traversing oceans to the same nest. The majesty of a school of whales

quote
“Magic is a word that we use to express a sense of awe and wonder at the inexplicable or unexpected. It is how we reference the way that the rational, logical world seems to vanish from our eyes and another stranger, wilder and more beautiful one takes its place. One where our relationship with our environment is alive, vital and visible. One in which we are active participants. Where the creative imagination is a force as powerful and undeniable as gravity. Where birds and waves seem to heed our voice, where the sun harks our call, where time stands still and the mythic re-emerges. Where the impossible becomes not only possible but real.”

“Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.
But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.”
― Burning Woman

― Burning Woman
“For some she came in a dream. For others in words as clear as a bell: it is time, I am here. She may come in a whisper so loud she can deafen you or a shout so quiet you strain to hear. She may appear in the waves or the face of the moon, in a red goddess or a crow.”

“Together we are learning to move from raw emotion and frozen muscles into a flow which emerges deep from within. We are learning to dance our prayers, bleed our words onto the page, laugh our images onto canvas, build our dreams in the world – to transmute and transmit the energy of the Feminine through our bodies and out into the world.”

“These are burning times. And they call for Burning Women. Women embodied in their passion. Woman feeling in their bodies. Creative women. Courageous women. Women who have learned to run on a different power source to the world which is falling into flames around her. She has already disentangled herself from the wreckage of the patriarchal culture, so she will not be dazed, confused and disorientated by the systemic changes happening around her. Centred within herself, receptive to the Earth beyond her, she knows how to cultivate from the ashes, she knows how to find the embers to fuel the new fire.
Burning Women arise.
Our time is now.
Our time has come.”

“Once we start to work with Feminine power we begin to see that it is not our minds that are in control of this power – it ebbs and flows with the movements of the planets, the procession of the seasons, the moons and tides, our own internal cycles of menstruality, anniversaries, the events around us. All these and more impact our experience and expressions of power. We learn to become aware of these various patterns and their impact on us and work more consciously with rather than against or in spite of them. We learn that they are all part of the same process. We open towards the energy, rather than shut down to it. We learn to trust the flow.”
