I’ve been sitting with a problem that I'd like your input on.
I know many of us are feeling it in our bones at the moment, (I know as I'm talking to my fellow witchy chicks!).
Have you been finding that your matriarchal work — the kind that’s community-based, uplifting, generous, and rooted in real value — has felt oddly blocked?
Not failing. Not wrong. Just… slowed. Pressured. Slightly out of step.
What I’ve come to understand is: a lot of what we’re being asked to do — be consistent, be visible, package it neatly, perform on cue — comes from a productivity-driven, patriarchal rhythm. Even when the intention is good, that rhythm can quietly strangle work that’s meant to be living, relational, and responsive.
Matriarchal creation doesn’t move on demand.
It moves by shear presence..
On divine timing.
Trying to force community-led, heart-centred work into rigid schedules can create a very particular kind of block: not resistance, but refusal. A deep, embodied “no” that says this deserves reverence, not extraction.
For me, the answer hasn’t been to push harder or “fix” myself. Even though I tried that first . . .
I've stepped back into self-sovereignty — and to let the work open when the energy is actually there.
I'd be interested as to how these musings help you, in the same way it helped me.
Where are you trying to squeeze something fluid, creative and relational into a box that was never designed to hold it?
What practical step could you take this week to loosen that grip — even slightly?
Where is your free-flowing feminine energy being slowed down because you’re trying to make it behave, perform, or fit a structure that feels… frankly, boring and outdated?
That’s why I've reshaped one of my regular community offerings into something more honest: a living thread rather than a performance. A place where wisdom comes through in real time, grounded and usable, without hype or urgency. In other words; my Practical Magic Lives areofficially happening when they happen!
Of course I'll keep you guys in the loop but I'm not saying monthly blah, blah, blah anymore.
And this week?
This week, that thread is re-opening with Athena — goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, clear seeing and dignified power. Not the softened archetype, but Athena as she truly is: intelligent, discerning, calm under pressure, and fiercely committed to what works.
If you’ve been feeling foggy, stuck, or quietly worn down by noise and expectation…
If you’re craving clarity without aggression, and strength without burnout…
I hope you'll find this space nourishing.
