✨Story & Soul✨

I deeply love to journey within the realms of Myth. Especially those that have existed and traveled through many ages, carried on the tongues of ancestors, woven into the very fabric of our consciousness.

To return them feels important - for the medicine they gift through sharing, cocreating, and reweaving them back into our circles is to carry the flame forward, especially those we thought forever lost.

To journey with Myth is to touch another world, land or place, to step into another realm,
picture it’s landscapes, it’s history, its lifeforce.
To happen upon a word, an essence, or idea that shifts something deep within.
Stories shared hold alchemical magic.

When we speak our stories we bring them to life
From the well of the deep into the physical.
Here they can speak into our bodies, our bone and blood memory.

To hear the heart of another through the words of their voice, written into being.
Their experience of life- of humanness - in all its faces - wild,beauty, grief, depth, painful,ineffable,ecstasy.

I remember these places within my own heart.
I meet them in my body as I behold the story.
Meeting parts of myself in and along the journey.
The pleasure of allowing the imaginal to come alive and be embraced, enjoyed, welcomed as a part of my rich complexity.

To sit with grief that comes with love and loss, to touch that which can only be felt.
To live through adventure alongside the forms held within- the trials and tests, the initiations, the gateways and axis.
To feel, to be touched, moved and shivered
by the archetypal journey.

As too familiar experiences life has gifted me within the chapters of my own story.
The transitions from one form to the next- the call of change, dissolving, the breaking apart & open, the integration and rebirth.

Story is a special kind of medicine.
One who offers an invitation,a gateway, into the mystery.
Myths activate when spoken aloud.
When words and images meet and weave within us
In divine alchemy with ourselves and the essence of the heartbeat of what is.. a weaving of worlds.
Both are alive within the union of story and soul.

✨Nurturing the Creative Life✨

Hey beautiful community ♥️
You may have noticed my quietness on socials over this past few weeks or so.
I made a conscious decision at the end of December to begin to reduce my screen time- in order to create more space for my own creativity.

This space- more room to read, to write, to play, to explore, to ponder ideas, to walk with the shifting seasons, feel into and sit within the creative field and see what wants to arise from prioritising my creative life.

Honestly- It’s felt like a Deeep Exhale for my soul.

As the vessel for my small business as well as a busy Mama & Priestess- It has been a journey of ‘undoing’ not to feel a sense of pressure to constantly offer my presence to online spaces- or to the never-ending ‘to do’ list of tasks that pull at my attention daily (mamas/biz mamas.. I know you feel me!)

Yet I’m recognising it’s most important to actually create the room for my own creative process to unfold organically- be more present within the moments of life- that which holds the core, the roots and foundation of all that I offer out into the world.

Remembering that the creative process itself is the river that waters me, and from that I can pour out organically from overflow.

“Art is not meant to be made in stolen moments only”- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

So- I’m still here & I will continue to be for as long as it makes sense- but I’m choosing to show up more consciously, consume less, and do more of what truly nourishes.
I will soon be able to offer more of the fruits again, as they are watered & grow further into form.

Wintering our way into January 2026.. It’s been a quieter shift into the new calendar year as for me the true ‘new year’ is still in gestation- as the heart of the winter crone still embraces the land with her icy hands a while longer. ✨❄️🌬️

For now softer, slower and more flexible routines, warm food & drinks, long walks, gentle movement practices and family/home are my seasonal nourishment 🫶

🌀Edene -Goddess of the Winter Solstice 🌀

Perhaps the greatest mystery of all, is to contemplate the liminal nature of life’s journey itself. The shifting spaces inbetween forms, the yonic veils of birth and of death- the origin point & place of returning.

When I reflect on meetings with death- my hope is that we are met in that space of the holding darkness- the womb tomb-and are rebirthed into light to become one with the great whole, with the ocean of love. 

The face of Her I’m journeying with deeply at the moment is ‘La Loba’,-The Bone Mother. She has really called me to drop into dissolution, metamorphosis, the space of stripping back- of returning & replenishing what is Of The Soul.

Sometimes this Soul guidance has arrived through difficult lessons, discerning what still nourishes life..and what no longer does. She invites us to sort, to sift, separate the wheat from the chaff to come into the right relational balance. 

The gnosis of how it is only through meeting darkness that the light is revealed. A knowing that can emerge only through willingness to sit in the dark, quiet, space of -unknowing.

Edene is the one we lean into when we are ready to listen deeply; when we dare to ask the great questions of life: of birth, endings, renewal, and return.

Perhaps it is Her very numinosity, ineffibility- of being unable to grasp onto a fixed definition of Her Nature- that invites Her to touch, weave & meet us deeper beyond the surface of who we know ourselves or even Goddess to be- where fixed identity dissolves and pure essence emerges-The place between the worlds.

This is the essence of the Winter Solstice: the gestation of the seed, the gathering-in, the moment of return. A time to recollect our bone pieces, our energy, our visions and dreams. To be touched & changed by Her in the depths of midwinter darkness to rebirth the light of our original innocence.

🌀✨Blessed Winter Solstice & The Rebirth of the Sun 🌀✨

To honour this turn of the wheel- I’m sharing a snippet from a Mythic Tale I wrote a few years ago- tilted ‘Bear Mother Of The Winter Solstice’ inspired by journeys with Nature, Goddess and The Season. It is one of an anthology of Seasonal stories I’ve now written- may its message warm your heart 🫶✨

With love,
Carmen xx
🫶🐻🌞

The Bear mother & the girl walk toward a long narrow passage deep within the cave.
The air is denser here and she feels heat rising from the walls around her - walls full of sleeping animals of all kinds nested together and the seeds of various tree & plant beings slowly unfurling their roots into the soil above her head.

Bear mother shares; “There is much that happens beneath the surface my child, even in the winter. Life appears still, yet is just moving differently.
The darkness here offers solace to the creatures that work, build and hunt all summer above the ground.
It allows them rest before the birth of the new year and the cycle begins once again.
Without it, they would run out of life before long.“

The end of the tunnel reveals a doorway, surrounded by bright light illuminating the shape of the tall wide cavern within. At its centre: a ball of light & fire burns brightly, its light dances across a kaleidoscope of colours in crystal, gemstone and minerals that cover the caves ceiling.

“Is that the sun”- the girl gasps. “So the tales my grandmother told me were true!”
“Yes my Dear”, the Bear Mother adds softly- “That is our little sun king. I bring him here each winter evening to warm my caves while he sleeps for a time.
For even the sun needs his rest, in order to shine bright each day in the sky”.

Bear mother gently picks up a small seed and places it into a nest of fir needles. She tenderly weaves the nest into a small crack in the cave wall as she reminds the girl. “What many people have long forgotten is the way the darkness and the light need each other. Each has their rightful place in the great wheel of life and the turnings of the year.“

✨Healing The Motherline Red Thread Series ✨

The first cycle of The Red Thread Series concluded on Sunday with the final workshop of the year ✨🌊Healing waters - weaving the lineage of love Ceremony 🌊✨

A beautiful space to honour the journey we have taken as a community and personally as we wove our prayers into the waters & created new life from the threads we have gathered through this lineage healing process.🙏♥️

The feedback from these journeys has been wonderful and the next chapter of the Red Thread is already beginning to form for next year. ✨🌀

For me personally bringing this work through has been deeply meaningful, with the support and encouragement of my own mama and having her collaborate with me in the final project of the series meant so much for us- our lineage, and the healing work we have done together through the years.🌹

So I finish this post with deep love and gratitude for my mum- Julie, for our Mother Temple that holds such a beautiful space for these offerings & all the women who have journeyed with me through this series.🙏

For all the mothers, forwards and back
We see you, we honour you and we offer our love
Through the Red thread of remembering
Blessed be
Carmen xx
🌹🙏🌹
