Cosmic Entanglement Series
flesh portals stewarded by elder tree antiquity, celestial temporality, and eco-sensuality.
cosmic entanglement prayer for holding relational complexity:
stars are the originators of dialogue across difference. emission can only be witnessed in relation. each pulse is a practice in friction and fusion. each implosion the raw materials for a system possible of sustenance. gravity returns us to the core:
what am i here to be? to feel? to connect and create with? how can i honor those in my orbit as sacred? how can we strengthen a web of relations that is not insular but interstellar? from root to cosmos we align in our dignity and try and fumble and mend and try again.
Each piece in this series is guided by the ance(stars). Please explore their intentions in-depth below:
entangled belonging Series
At the very deepest level, place makes us who we are. We think that we imagine the land, but perhaps the land imagines us, and in its imaginings, it shapes us. The exterior landscape interacts with our interior landscape, and in the resulting entanglements, we become something more than we otherwise could ever hope to be…. This is how we can build belonging, and this is how we re-enchant the Earth.
-Sharon Blackie
Sigils for ensoilment
sigils are indefinitely repeatable and available in handpoke 2-4″
sigils, akin to anting-anting in the philippines, are symbols imbued with intention to transform or enchant.
these symbols were drawn in relation to the land, seeds, directions ~ collective cries for healing, transmutation, and empowerment. each invites you to reflect:
1 – what is your soul on fire for? who tends your embers? is warmed by your flames?
2 – how do you (re)generate in reciprocity? what foundation do you emerge from?
3 – what mountain of offerings, from ancestors and more than human kin, do you rise with each day?
4 – what would you like to awaken? within you? within the collective?
5 – how do you birth creation with the world? what is your intimacy rooted in?
6 – what is your relationship to breath? to belonging?
7 – what happens when you allow your soma to rest, to submerge?
8 – what do you need to grieve? to release? how do you like to be held?
9 – what creature medicine do you move with/as?
10 – how can action and disruption seed change?
11 – where do you source wisdom? what wisdom do you have to share?
12 – how do boundaries bring you closer to love?
Four Directions
From where do we source reciprocal, collective power?
The four directions are key elements in creation and connection, the origin of medicine stories across cultures and earth-based practices, and source of reciprocal power.
Together, we will untangle and re-weave…
- relationship to four directions within your lineage(s), culture(s), practice(s)
- rhythms of the seasons
- how and in what areas of your life the directions desire to express within and beyond you
Explore the four directions inkvocations to help guide a resonant selection.
