Mature woman, midlife mother,
how delightful to embody motherhood with the grit of experience,
how challenging to release the grip of rigid forms and allow yourself to become adaptable to a new rhythm.
I pray you’re being gentle with your body, not only have you been transformed by the softening of birth but you are also entering into the realms of the crone, you are the nurturing essence of the goddess and the wisdom keeper, the one who nourishes the future at breast and the one who passes on the codes for the renewal of the culture.
May you allow the frustrations of modern motherhood to activate your ancient remembrance, may you find understanding instead of judgement. Your feedback is essential, your reclamation is medicine. May you acknowledge the paradox present so that as you dance with the dichotomies, you may also embody deeper alignment.
Above all beautiful mama, may you devote yourself to your heart as you are to your child and family. Your dreams matter and all that stokes the fire of creativity is foundational to the health of the whole. May you speak to your desires confidently and may your needs be met, may you receive the sweetest of pleasures for you are a force of nature.
May you develop grace as you set boundaries and establish healthier patterns of communication, may you dance with your grief and with your victories, may you see yourself as the beauty that you are, may you strengthen your body and mind with consistent patience. May you connect with your womb with tender love and rely on the spine that holds you upright as a queen who wears her crown with elegant humility.
May your service and gifts be honored and may you give in the spirit of reciprocity, may you compost the belief that a woman’s worth is in how much she sacrifices for the sake of family, may the woman that self abandons in order to please be healed and return to the truth of her being, where she is loved for who she is and removes herself from places that are draining.
May you know yourself deserving of a life of beauty, may your relationships move through their death and rebirth cycles with gentleness and even amidst the chaos may your faith be fortified, for it is in the crucible of intimacy that we find out what we’re made of.
May you hold yourself with deep reverence and respect for all that you are and how much value you offer this world. May your cup be filled each morning and may you know with keen discernment when to drop the heavy burdens that are not yours to carry.
May you thrive in wisdom, beauty and truth as you raise the future with a grounded presence and embodied magick.
Doing this work requires great stamina and to be seen and honored inside and out. I honor you! Thank you for seeing me.
