Welcome to the Goddess Magic community! This is a goddess-centered-practice community space, a celebration of nature, the sacred, and everyday magic, and a thriving "crucible of creation" to create, explore, muse, and wonder aloud in the companionship and support of the wonderful people who become members. And, it is also essentially where almost everything I make--digital, audio, video, or pdf--either begins or comes to live. Thank you for being a part of creating this space for magic to happen!

Our primary membership options are:

Goddess Magic--our dedicated space for goddess-centered spiritual practice (includes #30DaysofGoddess).
Goddess Magic Mail (plus Ritual Theory)--an expansion of the Goddess Magic tier which includes periodic Magic Mail in your mailbox as well as Ritual Theory content (ideal for priestesses or other ritualists).
Several other tiers are also available.

NEW for 2024:

I'm excited to announce an overall theme of Living Our Magic. Each week will include written, video, Live, audio, and printable content focused around this broad theme. We are also working on a brand new Earth Runes system and members of the community will be the first to experience, use, and explore this new oracle method. Weekly inspiration oracle cards, monthly "Living Our Magic" guidebooks, and more will also be provided in 2024.

In 2024, our #30DaysofGoddess monthly practice will be shaped around specific goddesses each month (broadly--practices will still be applicable to any focus/practice, you do not have to be a specific goddess devotee to benefit) and I will continue to make monthly practice snapshot cards to deepen, expand, and evolve the practice.

I will also continue to offer our popular monthly virtual live circle: Simple and Sacred. This virtual circle is offered live monthly on the second Friday of the month. In 2024, the circle will be built around the wheel of the year, allowing us to take a deeper dive into everyday magic and seasonal celebration together. Replays are available for patrons only and will be offered at any tier level!

In 2023, I created weekly Story Goddess Oracle cards (for a full set of 52 cards by the end of 2023) and built a powerful and beautiful new deck of customizable, colorable, interactive cards. In 2024, I will be working on converting this deck into a finished, professionally printed deck (completion date, TBA, it may take more than one year). Regardless of time line, members at the Magic Mail level can look forward to receiving periodic first access to fully colored, beautiful oracle card prints in the mail (as well as other surprises several times a year).

Devotional Rhythm

We welcome your involvement in this community and means of creating good in the world together!

Past Results:

From the time spent in this space, I created the unique devotional practice #30DaysofGoddess as well as the daily practice companion deck and twenty-four companion journals/prayerbooks (most of which contained 30-60 new pieces of writing each) and the beautiful companion prayer anthology to accompany it, #365DaysofGoddess! I am also working on a companion guidebook to daily practice tentatively called, Every Day Sacred. In the Temple of the Ordinary, volume 2 is tentatively scheduled for publication at the end of 2023.

In 2020, I published a new book of poems called Sunlight on Cedar and in 2022 I published In the Temple of the Ordinary. I also finished the second volume of the Goddess Devotional, Whole and Holy, which was published by Brigid's Grove at the end of 2020. My book Walking with Persephone was published by Womancraft Publishing in 2021. Thank you for being here and for helping me to make this work possible! I love writing and sharing my written resources with the world, but I sometimes struggle to carve out the space to do it because it was not originally directly financially connected to our business. This community has helped me so much in refining and defining the sacred space needed to birth these writings and projects into the world!

Thank you!

Thank you for becoming a patron and for being a member of the Goddess Magic community! We feel so honored and humbled to be invited into your lives in some small way. To witness some of your triumphs and tender places, your courage and your wounded places. To hear your stories and to be a part of your diverse journeys. You invite us into your lives. Into your hands, hearts, and homes. We join you at your retreats and rituals, your women’s circles, your mother blessings, your red tents, your family rituals, your personal ceremonies, your rites of passage. You allow us on your altars, into your homes and living room, your bedrooms, your workplaces, hospital rooms, birth centers, and offices. It is a sacred trust.

Notes:

Please note that some of the poetry and prayer content on Patreon is also available from me via other mediums, but there are also many, many patron-exclusive resources, printable materials, and patron-exclusive audio recordings included here. Every week, there are new audio, video, written, and printable resources, created just for patrons (tier dependent).

This community originated as an option for people who would like to financially contribute to the ongoing free services offered by Brigid's Grove to help keep them free and accessible to everyone AND for people who enjoy our content to receive extra bonuses, access to shop discounts and kits, special patron-only audio recordings and additional resources including an exclusive Facebook group. It also helps to fund and publish our books and written projects. We offer multiple free classes, a weekly free newsletter with a weekly ritual video, a resourceful website, and a free podcast. Our operating costs for these services to the community are about $8000 a year. We are blessed and honored to share information, classes, and magical experiences in this way and we are also grateful for those who voice that they would like to provide some financial backing to the community services. Your patronage also supports my writing and offers me a "vote of confidence" in my writing work, to which I would love to devote even more time and energy.

Sometimes we feel very small in the face of the many challenges and many pains of the world, but we return to the knowing that every day what we do together at Brigid’s Grove adds goodness and meaning to people’s lives and that is something.
