Yesterday I had the divine pleasure of spending the afternoon and evening with some amazing women. I was with a tribe of maidens, mothers, and a wise wise crone sharing her stories of the power of women. I say crone in a most honored place. I have had the pleasure of knowing MorningStar for a few years now and am so honored to be included in her most recent book in both story and photo- it is so humbling.
I have shared so much with her and my amazing birth tribe preparing for and accomplishing my powerful VBAC, now almost 5 years ago in April with my Silas. It is days like this that reminds how lucky I am to be in the presence of such a tribe of women that I am fortunate enough to call friends!
While we were gathered in circle I worked on another in the 3-Sisters series I have done since the fall. I was inspired to bring in elements of the moon and nature to reflect this trio. I like how the maiden and crone shelter either side of the mother because I find that often I need to remember the innocence of my maidenhood and listen to the stories of the crones to balance out my role as mother.
If you are interested in this amazing book you can get a copy through Midwifery Today- such a powerful book! You will not regret it.
