Today we welcome in the second new moon of 2026, Lunar New Year and Lunar Imbolc! Today's New Moon in Aquarius is also an annular solar eclipse and initiates eclipse season which will close with the full moon lunar eclipse on March 3rd. In Chinese astrology we are shifting from the year of the Wood Snake into the year of the Fire Horse and today is also Chinese New Year/Spring Festival. I have written a blog all about these powerful eclipse energies which you can read for free via the link in the comments below :)

Still a few spaces left for tonight's soundbath if you'd like to join us :)

Join me on Friday 13th (sacred day of the Goddess) for our next crystal bowl soundbath.

This time we are welcoming in Lunar new year and the new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius (lunar Imbolc).

This soundbath is taking place 4 days before we usher in this new lunar year but also eclipse season. Eclipses are a powerful time to clear all the no longer serves, notice what is ending and tend to new beginnings. We will be using this session to close out the year of the snake and welcome in the year of the fire horse. We will also be working with the last phase of the lunar cycle which creates a powerful time to release, let go and make space for the new.

Join me at for a whole day dedicated to Goddess 👏🌸🕯

Many people have shared with me recently that they would like to deepen their connection to Goddess but they don't really know where to start. In this day retreat we will explore how to connect with and work with Goddess and what Goddess spirituality means in modern life.

We will explore devotional practices such as altars, prayers and ritual, how to create and maintain a relationship with Goddess and listen to how she speaks to us individually. We will also explore archetypes and reclaiming her stories.

The day will include lots of embodiment practices such as Goddess chants, drumming and movement practices. I will also be giving Goddess energetic empowerments as part of the day too.

The day will also include some beautiful creative activities - we will be learning how to create mala beads with rose petals 😍😍😍 and how to work with sacred oils and creating our very own Goddess oil to take home.

This day retreat is running 10am-4pm in the Goddess Temple and is £75.00.

Refreshments are included, lunch is byo. Any questions or to book please email me michelle.rose.boxley

WOMEN'S CIRCLE FACILITATOR TRAINING - 28-29th MARCH

"MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN WOMEN GATHER"

Women have been gathering together in sacred space for centuries in various cultures and faiths throughout the world. In recent years there has been a resurgence of women's circles and more and more women are feeling the call to learn how to hold sacred space for their community.

Women's circles (when held by trained facilitators) create a safe and supportive environment for women to come as they are, check-in with how they're feeling and reflect on where they're heading. Circles gift women both time to be with other women in community and also quiet time to go inwards and cultivate that important relationship with self.

Sacred structure and the art of holding space are really important when offering women's circles as well as understanding what it means to be trauma informed and to facilitate ethically. During this training we will be looking in detail at how to hold this type of sacred space and how to craft inclusive themes that help your group feel inspired, empowered and connected.

During this training you will learn:

- What is a Women's Circle and the importance of them in the modern day
- Sacred Cycles - attuning to the Moon and the Seasons
- Getting started with Astrology
- Feminine Archetypes & How to weave them into your circles
- The Goddess - how to honour Goddess in modern times and reclaiming her stories
- The Elements - how to weave in the elements to rituals, ceremonies and circle themes
- How to craft your own circle themes - combining all of the above to craft unique and empowering themes
- How to create and guide meditations
- How to set up sacred space
- How to hold space and the ethics of holding circles - we will be discussing cultural appropriation and the importance of being trauma informed and inclusive
- The Art of Ritual
- How to build community
- The practicalities of setting up circles - social media, marketing and finding your authentic voice

This course will be a mixture of self study - where you journey through the various lessons, video tutorials and downloadable resources via the online portal and then we will be gathering for an immersive in-person weekend at the beautiful Brigid Rooms Goddess Temple in Claverley, Shropshire.

Even if you don't feel quite ready to start hosting your own circles this course will give you such nourishment for your own practices - learning how to create rituals, meditations and sacred space for yourself and deepening your understanding of all things Divine Feminine and Goddess!

Drumming circle this friday 🤗🐺🔥

Our first drumming circle of the year is taking place this Friday (6th February) 7:15-8:15pm. These circles are so wonderfully uplifting and a great way to release some of that intense full moon energy. This circle is taking place 5 days after the full moon in Leo and so we will be working with the waning moon. We will also be drumming to welcome in the seasonal celebration of Imbolc 🕯🌱

You don't need any previous experience with drumming and you can borrow drums and shakers if you don't have your own. We also include Goddess and Proto Celtic chants as well as lots of free styling with our voices.

To book in please message Chelle at michelle.rose.boxley@gmail.com 🙏

Cost: £10

This weekend, on Feb 1st, we welcome in the first of the three Spring festivals here in the UK. This time of year has gone by many names, some of those names remain intact and some are long forgotten. When the Neo Pagan Wheel of the Year was being pieced together, the name given to this festival was Imbolc and this is what it is most commonly known by.

Imbolc (pronounced Imolc) or Imbolg (pronounced Imbolug) comes from old Irish meaning “in the belly” which refers to pregnant ewes and is associated with the onset of lambing season. It is also called Oimelc - ‘in milk’ and the 'Festival of Milk' as this was the time when milk was available again in abundance. After the long, harsh months of winter, when food supplies were running low, this was a time of joy and celebration and many of the rituals and customs included offerings of milk, butter and cream. In his book ‘Stations of the Sun’ Ronald Hutton makes this point about the origins of this celebration in England:

“As in the Gaelic areas where Brigid was welcomed, a feast at the opening of spring had developed into a means (among other things) of paying respect to womanhood.”

This is a really important aspect of Imbolc and hints at a time when rites of passage surrounding motherhood would have been held in high esteem.

We had our first women's circle of the year last night and it was an absolute joy. Thank you so much to the women who braved the ice and torrential rain to come and sit in circle. Our theme for this moonth was 'Roots of Wisdom', connecting to the earth elder energy of Capricorn and the wisdom of trees. We talked about the difference between setting intentions that feel forced and pressurised and intentions that bring us back into alignment consistently. We shared delicious food (Jayne those brownies were fire!), we sang, drummed, shared vulnerable words and we crafted. Our craft for this month was weaving and we each created one of these talismans, imbuing them with our intentions and wishes.

Our next circle is on Sunday 15th Feb and the theme is Songs of Rebellion for the new moon in Aquarius. Get in touch if you'd like to book in 🙏🐺🕯

It's not too late to join my online courses for 2026. I have my new course called a Year of Myth and Magic and then I have released the Green Witch's Year at a hugely discounted price. Links to both courses are in the comments below 🧙‍♀️

I am so excited to introduce you to this course! I have been working away on this course for the whole of this year gathering resources, getting lost down various folkloric rabbit holes and taking great joy in putting this course together.

A Year of Myth & Magic is a 12 month online journey through the sacred cycles of nature; exploring the goddesses, folklore, festivals, and magic of each month.

Rooted in the rhythms of the year, this course connects you to the myths that honour the changing seasons and the movements of the moon and the planets - stories of birth and renewal, light and shadow, death and rebirth.

Each month there will be a guided magical meditation journey - this might be with a Goddess, a mythical creature/character or to an enchanted place! We will follow the Goddess through the year, from the radiant goddesses of spring to the wise crones of winter, uncovering the wisdom they hold for us today.

This course is a self study online journey so you can travel at your own pace with new content opening each month. We will explore folklore, myth and magic from all over the world.

This course is for seekers, storytellers, and lovers of myth - those who feel the pull of ancient wisdom and want to deepen their connection to the sacred cycles of nature. Whether you are drawn to the divine feminine, seasonal folklore, or the magic of the changing year, this journey is an invitation to walk the mythic path.

Are you ready for a year of enchantment?

Registration is open now and will close at the start of Jan 2026 🤗
