A while back I put this blog on hold. There were lots of changes on the horizon. Life was taking new and dynamic twists and turns, and I needed time to find myself in the chaos. Things are beginning to balance out, and I’m feeling called to kick the blog into high gear. Over the past few years I’ve moved from DC to Columbia, SC, I’ve deepened and leaned into studying Feri Tradition witchcraft again, and am creating more poetry. Life is calling me to do more than just observe.
My yoga practice is also shifting from that of a physical practice to once of devotion. The path of Bhakti is the path of devotion and love, and this progression for me feels natural. When we do asana (physical practice) we can do so in devotion, and this is something I’ll be exploring in this blog.
Change really is a beautiful and powerful thing. It helps us to see where our power is, and it lets us do the deeper work of integration, and this is the deeper work of yoga.
Yoga is the process of integrating breath, body and spirit. Magic and witchcraft aligns in very much the same way. This blog is my place to explore the intersections of my work as a witch and yogi. Over the years I spent a lot of time holding my parts in separate compartments, and in order to be whole, it is important to notice the beautiful meeting places that allow me to deepen my experience. As a teacher, it is also important for me to use the tools I’m asking others to take on.
With this blog, I hope to also build community. We are living in a world that is shifting quickly. I hope you find a place to sit, to breath, and I hope you find inspiration. This blog is an experiment in my truth. It’s a place for me to explore the dynamics of my practice. If you have questions, or if something calls to you, reach out and connect. I’m going to be creating Facebook group, and much more over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
Namaste!
