Body Magic According to the Seasons
We hold a dream for all humans; that they know with full certainty the magic that is inside of us. We want you all to know how to use it as a resource for healing, manifesting…full on LIVING. Of course, other non-humans have this magic, but we don’t think they need our help.
Humans need reminding that our true nature is a divine and sacred one. Our divinity is expressed in the macro and micro movements of our physical bodies.
Do you feel it? Are you connected to your magic? Whether or not you believe it, your magic knows it is connected to YOU. It wants to be expressed through you and by you. Magic is always whispering to you reminding you of your desires, your dreams. It longs to be used. It makes its presence known in the racing of your heart when you get excited about something. Or when you get a funny feeling in your stomach, a signal alerting you to pay attention. Magic is present when you laugh with pure joy and scream-cry from pain or grief. As you can see, it is always moving through you.
Let’s play a game right now that proves this to be true. Imagine your favorite meal or dessert. See it from a distance. Now start to zoom in on it. Get close to it. What do you smell? Make it mouth-wateringly perfect in your mind. Think of how it tastes. Believe that the most delicious experience awaits. Are you smiling? Is your tummy rumbling in anticipation?
Congratulations! You have just created a vision of desire so strong and so resonant that your body and mind felt it to be real. This is, in part, a demonstration of your magical nature, but also a small practice of manifestation magic. If you can imagine it you can experience it as if it is happening in that moment, bringing your desire closer to your immediate reality. This experience can be influenced by the turning of the seasons. We also want humans to remember how inextricably connected to Nature we are. Humans are physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually influenced by the seasons, the temperatures, weather conditions…all aspects of Nature. Each quality adds a nuance to your magical energy.
For example, want to let go of bad habits? Use the wind to blow them away or if it’s winter use the season's death vibe to give those worn-out patterns a funeral. There are so many ways to dance with the strands that bond our humanity to our planet’s wisdom. Doing so is both healing and empowering. Let us prove it to you.
The Wild Empress Coven wants you to hang out with us! This coven was founded by 4 women, therapists, coaches, herbalists, somatic educators, movers and shakers. The high priestesses of this coven encompass so much and long to show all that you embody. This is a safe space based on respect and consent. ALL are welcome.

No matter how much darkness there is in the world we have light that can be used to fight itl The Ukraine invasion, Afghan women being oppressed (again), the fight for abortion, the epidemic threat of violence towards trans/black/native/asian/minority lives, the sufferings of the persecuted are deep and scarring wounds on our world and shared humanity. We can shift this heinous paradigm and support others. Join us in igniting your spark, harnessing the energy of this new season and getting closer to what we want to manifest. Your body, your nervous system and your spirit crave it. Let’s combine forces to keep the light shining where it is most needed.
As above, so below.
