Ride

39
00:01:14,086 --> 00:01:18,146
so helpful in learning about myself
because I often refer to it when I'm

40
00:01:18,146 --> 00:01:21,196
like, let me just ask this question.

41
00:01:21,386 --> 00:01:23,856
Like, why is this happening
and what is going on?

42
00:01:23,886 --> 00:01:27,306
And I go back to my chart, not
that I can read most of it.

43
00:01:27,336 --> 00:01:30,916
It's very complicated, but I can at
least get some ideas about myself.

44
00:01:30,936 --> 00:01:33,316
It's helped me time and time
again is what I'm saying.

45
00:01:33,416 --> 00:01:37,366
kind of get a simplified down and dirty,
you know, but enough that then you

46
00:01:37,366 --> 00:01:39,426
can go, okay, the moon is doing this.

47
00:01:39,456 --> 00:01:40,686
How does that impact me?

48
00:01:40,786 --> 00:01:41,066
So.

50
00:01:41,606 --> 00:01:43,316

51
00:01:44,116 --> 00:01:44,846
So here we are.

52
00:01:44,866 --> 00:01:47,256
We've been discovering true
and real magic in the world.

53
00:01:47,256 --> 00:01:49,356
And so we're here to
share it with you today.

54
00:01:49,826 --> 00:01:52,796
And we've each decided to pull a card.

55
00:01:53,086 --> 00:01:54,660
I don't happen to have

56
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,591
I don't

57
00:01:55,876 --> 00:02:01,036
the season of the witch Oracle deck
for Mabon, which is what our topic

58
00:02:01,266 --> 00:02:03,006
of this episode is going to be about.

59
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,586
But no worries, Amanda did.

60
00:02:05,696 --> 00:02:05,886
provides.

64
00:02:09,914 --> 00:02:10,624
So tell us

65
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:10,908
[01:58.592]

66
00:02:11,176 --> 00:02:13,116
So tell us what card
you pulled for us today.

67
00:02:13,116 --> 00:02:13,414
Amanda

68
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:17,616
All right, so I pulled
the Harvest Moon card.

69
00:02:17,726 --> 00:02:19,156
I don't know if you can see that.

70
00:02:19,226 --> 00:02:21,150
It's very ominous and beautiful.

71
00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:22,343
talks the Harvest

72
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:27,946
And it talks the Harvest Moon is the
full moon around the fall equinox.

73
00:02:28,076 --> 00:02:32,156
So that's gonna be on the 17th
and then we'll have the equinox.

74
00:02:32,906 --> 00:02:39,306
And the card is about adapting
and adopting to a slower pace.

75
00:02:39,306 --> 00:02:39,633
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [02:05.877]

76
00:02:39,633 --> 00:02:39,726
Mm -hmm.

77
00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:39,773
Mmm.

78
00:02:39,773 --> 00:02:39,959
Amanda B Norr [02:27.555]

79
00:02:40,006 --> 00:02:42,124
which is what we do this
time of year, right?

80
00:02:42,146 --> 00:02:46,246
We're going into fall, things
are going into hibernation.

81
00:02:46,736 --> 00:02:51,256
So, and then winter comes and
so now is not the time to start

82
00:02:51,266 --> 00:02:52,976
like pushing and doing a lot.

83
00:02:52,986 --> 00:02:56,365
But, and then in that slower pace,
it really talked about being guided

84
00:02:56,486 --> 00:02:59,106
to understand our self -care needs.

85
00:03:00,016 --> 00:03:03,556
So maybe one day you need
to dance, clothed or not in

86
00:03:03,556 --> 00:03:04,606
your living room and scream.

87
00:03:04,906 --> 00:03:05,799
a different day.

88
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:06,096
Ride

89
00:03:06,246 --> 00:03:07,396
need to go on a walk.

90
00:03:07,446 --> 00:03:09,666
Maybe you need to go have lunch
with a friend a different day.

Yep.

Amanda B Norr [02:57.401]

94
00:03:09,936 --> 00:03:13,736
but it's being in tune, taking that
slower pace and then thinking of what your

95
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:17,026
needs are and finding ways to meet them.

96
00:03:17,109 --> 00:03:19,788
that's perfect for this
episode because that is kind

97
00:03:20,088 --> 00:03:23,362
perfect for this episode because
that is kind of what we're gonna be.

and guide you into your descent.

103
00:03:23,825 --> 00:03:24,064
And we're going to circle back on
that too at the end of the episode,

104
00:03:24,064 --> 00:03:24,271
because I have plans to kind of
wrap it up that same message.

105
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:24,431
And I think it's perfect
that you pulled that card.

106
00:03:24,431 --> 00:03:24,654
I was using the magical Nordic
deck and I pulled the Ace of Wands.

107
00:03:24,654 --> 00:03:25,071
So before we started, we were
kind of on this like tarot

108
00:03:25,071 --> 00:03:26,916
a geeking out moment
where we're talking about

109
00:03:26,926 --> 00:03:31,426
listeners, we are here to facilitate
and guide you into your descent.

110
00:03:32,076 --> 00:03:35,266
And we're going to circle back on
that too at the end of the episode,

111
00:03:35,276 --> 00:03:39,406
because I have plans to kind of
wrap it up that same message.

112
00:03:39,456 --> 00:03:41,466
And I think it's perfect
that you pulled that card.

113
00:03:41,476 --> 00:03:44,638
I was using the magical Nordic

114
00:03:44,938 --> 00:03:45,501
deck.

115
00:03:45,501 --> 00:03:46,064
But

116
00:03:46,364 --> 00:03:50,146
deck and I pulled the Ace of Wands.

117
00:03:50,656 --> 00:03:55,046
So before we started, we were
kind of on this like tarot

118
00:03:55,376 --> 00:04:00,086
a geeking out moment where we're
talking about are ones fire element?

119
00:04:00,126 --> 00:04:01,596
Are they air element?

120
00:04:01,986 --> 00:04:05,786
And I was saying I typically read
an air element unless the deck

121
00:04:05,986 --> 00:04:10,016
is, you know, proves otherwise,
I guess it depends on the deck.

122
00:04:10,056 --> 00:04:15,386
But for me, I tend to read it more
as the air element, which is the

123
00:04:15,386 --> 00:04:18,456
mind and communication and thinking.

124
00:04:18,456 --> 00:04:18,636
And

125
00:04:18,936 --> 00:04:19,716
if that

126
00:04:20,016 --> 00:04:22,336
as you were talking about the
Harvest Moon, I was actually

127
00:04:22,336 --> 00:04:24,956
just thinking this is for me.

128
00:04:25,386 --> 00:04:29,476
a really great time of
year to do all my planning.

129
00:04:30,126 --> 00:04:31,186
Kind of my,

130
00:04:31,683 --> 00:04:34,499
and for going into the

131
00:04:34,536 --> 00:04:38,296
don't know, my inward
work, if that makes sense.

132
00:04:38,356 --> 00:04:43,246
Just kind of like, let me lay out my
schedule, let me lay out my plan for the

133
00:04:43,246 --> 00:04:46,156
winter and for going into the season.

134
00:04:46,576 --> 00:04:50,326
And I kind of like do all
that sort of mental work.

135
00:04:50,736 --> 00:04:53,356
But it actually says on
the card, new adventures.

136
00:04:54,154 --> 00:04:57,154
which I love, because you were talking
about you going through some new

137
00:04:57,186 --> 00:05:01,606
adventures, hoping, you know, this career.

138
00:05:01,906 --> 00:05:07,376
Send all the good vibes, but it's gonna
stay on the DL till I get a notification.

139
00:05:07,676 --> 00:05:11,366
out if you're going to be taking
this new adventure and all of that.

140
00:05:11,376 --> 00:05:14,496
But a lot of people listening
right now might be in that same

141
00:05:15,101 --> 00:05:17,032

142
00:05:17,036 --> 00:05:22,816

like the start of a new school year is

143
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:25,766
kind of a lot of people's new years.

144
00:05:26,336 --> 00:05:27,296
what I was just thinking.

Ride The

146
00:05:29,006 --> 00:05:31,136
it kind of depends on your
astrological chart too.

147
00:05:31,136 --> 00:05:34,786
some people, it does feel like
new beginnings for them during the

148
00:05:34,786 --> 00:05:36,086
fall time because they're like,

152

Okay, now what?

153
00:05:37,316 --> 00:05:42,176
Like now we're settling into fall,
going towards winter, looking ahead.

154
00:05:42,656 --> 00:05:42,686
What

155
00:05:43,023 --> 00:05:44,725
talking about the Fall

156
00:05:44,746 --> 00:05:46,096
do I want out of this?

157
00:05:46,106 --> 00:05:48,126
Like what's gonna happen for me, right?

158
00:05:48,129 --> 00:05:50,682
kind of addressing and recognizing that

159
00:05:50,686 --> 00:05:51,236
Perfect.

160
00:05:51,766 --> 00:05:53,326
Well, I want to start.

161
00:05:53,336 --> 00:05:54,396
So we're talking about Mabon.

162
00:05:54,502 --> 00:05:55,956
We're talking about the Fall Equinox.

163
00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:58,266
And I want to start with
just kind of addressing and

164
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:01,021
recognizing that the name Mabon

165
00:06:01,321 --> 00:06:02,172
their ways

166
00:06:02,226 --> 00:06:07,446
was kind of thrown in as like,
let's mark this milestone.

167
00:06:07,446 --> 00:06:10,346
Of course, the ancient
ancestors and pagans of old,

168
00:06:10,683 --> 00:06:11,109
put

169
00:06:11,456 --> 00:06:15,306
they had their ways of marking
certain times of the year, but it

170
00:06:15,306 --> 00:06:19,026
wasn't until kind of the Wiccan
tradition that they decided to put it.

171
00:06:19,166 --> 00:06:21,396
you know, with names on it and,

172
00:06:21,747 --> 00:06:22,173
it.

173
00:06:22,173 --> 00:06:23,024
wasn't, necessarily

174
00:06:23,106 --> 00:06:25,386
you know, kind of slap on some names.

175
00:06:25,386 --> 00:06:26,656
Mabon was slapped on.

176
00:06:26,726 --> 00:06:28,026
I'm just going to say it.

177
00:06:28,026 --> 00:06:28,786
wasn't,

178
00:06:29,086 --> 00:06:29,686
son of

179
00:06:30,132 --> 00:06:32,086
necessarily associated with the Equinox.

180
00:06:32,516 --> 00:06:32,811
mother.

181
00:06:32,811 --> 00:06:33,656
Mordhron meaning

182
00:06:33,956 --> 00:06:36,676
it was a story from Welsh mythology.

183
00:06:36,686 --> 00:06:40,796
Mabon is the son of Mordhron,
who is like the great mother.

184
00:06:40,806 --> 00:06:40,816
Mordhron

185
00:06:40,897 --> 00:06:42,036
storyline where King

186
00:06:42,336 --> 00:06:45,376
meaning the great mother and
Mabon being the great son.

187
00:06:45,736 --> 00:06:47,416
It's kind of a Christ archetype.

188
00:06:47,546 --> 00:06:51,496
sort of storyline where
King Arthur is involved.

189
00:06:51,686 --> 00:06:53,146
comes to

190
00:06:53,237 --> 00:06:54,088
is wreaking

191
00:06:54,388 --> 00:06:59,436
look for Mabon because the prophecy
says he's the only one that can save the

192
00:06:59,436 --> 00:07:02,316
people from this terrible bore that is

193
00:07:02,616 --> 00:07:03,876
mother first, but

194
00:07:04,286 --> 00:07:05,356
havoc on villages.

195
00:07:06,296 --> 00:07:10,536
King Arthur and the knights of
the round table, go looking for

196
00:07:10,685 --> 00:07:11,536
all the

197
00:07:11,716 --> 00:07:11,726
Mabon.

198
00:07:11,836 --> 00:07:15,086
They go to his mother first, but
he was stolen from his mother

199
00:07:15,086 --> 00:07:16,226
when he was only three days old.

200
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:16,246
Modron

201
00:07:16,642 --> 00:07:18,146
been missing him for

202
00:07:18,446 --> 00:07:21,906
has cried all the rivers
of the seas and oceans.

203
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:24,626
She's grieved for her son.

204
00:07:24,646 --> 00:07:26,426
She's been missing him for years.

205
00:07:27,046 --> 00:07:30,496
And here comes this king and he's
like, hey, have you seen your son?

206
00:07:30,516 --> 00:07:31,756
We're kind of looking for him.

207
00:07:31,976 --> 00:07:34,326
And she's like, of course not.

208
00:07:34,396 --> 00:07:35,736
I've been looking.

209
00:07:36,406 --> 00:07:38,896
She's like, I'm crying
the tears of the ocean,

210
00:07:39,196 --> 00:07:39,586
would I

211
00:07:39,646 --> 00:07:40,336
I don't know.

212
00:07:40,336 --> 00:07:40,536
Amanda B Norr [07:26.337]

213
00:07:40,586 --> 00:07:41,118
Why would I be going

214
00:07:41,216 --> 00:07:42,592
if I have seen him?

215
00:07:42,592 --> 00:07:43,544
Ride The

216
00:07:43,766 --> 00:07:45,246
would know if I had him.

217
00:07:45,636 --> 00:07:48,866
So she's like, go ask the
Blackbird if for all I care.

218
00:07:48,876 --> 00:07:51,756
Like she kind of flippantly
says it like, you jerk.

219
00:07:52,256 --> 00:07:56,616
And Arthur goes to the Blackbird,
because maybe he doesn't get sarcasm.

220
00:07:56,636 --> 00:07:57,056
I don't know.

221
00:07:57,066 --> 00:08:00,126
But he goes to the Blackbird
and he's like, where is

222
00:08:00,426 --> 00:08:01,160
Arthur goes

223
00:08:01,516 --> 00:08:02,531
Malbon's son of Modron?

224
00:08:02,806 --> 00:08:06,236
And the Blackbird sends him on
this wild goose chase where he's

225
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:08,336
like, go find the oldest animal.

226
00:08:08,777 --> 00:08:09,996
the Blackbird and

227
00:08:10,296 --> 00:08:14,946
And I'm going to just briefly go through
it, but I will do a storytelling episode

228
00:08:14,986 --> 00:08:17,236
with this because it's a great story.

229
00:08:17,236 --> 00:08:18,706
But he goes to the stag and the stag

230
00:08:19,006 --> 00:08:20,466
where he's like, go

231
00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:21,516
I don't know.

232
00:08:21,516 --> 00:08:22,656
Go ask the owl.

233
00:08:22,666 --> 00:08:25,276
So they go to the owl and
they're like, I don't know.

234
00:08:25,316 --> 00:08:26,356
Go ask the eagle.

235
00:08:26,356 --> 00:08:28,146
And the eagle says, I don't know.

236
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:32,126
Go ask the oldest animal,
which is the salmon.

237
00:08:33,026 --> 00:08:37,632
And in Celtic folklore, salmon
often represents knowledge.

238
00:08:38,246 --> 00:08:39,426
So it makes sense.

239
00:08:39,496 --> 00:08:44,286
that he would go, the druids are
known to or believed by historians to

240
00:08:44,586 --> 00:08:45,816
and they're like,

241
00:08:46,116 --> 00:08:50,556
honor the rivers, fish being
sacred, that kind of thing.

242
00:08:51,116 --> 00:08:54,596
So finally, Arthur and the Knights
of Round Table go to the salmon

243
00:08:54,596 --> 00:08:57,006
and say, hey, we're looking
for Maddabon, son of Maldron.

244
00:08:57,586 --> 00:08:58,336
Have you seen him?

245
00:08:58,456 --> 00:08:59,356
And he's like,

246
00:08:59,718 --> 00:09:00,194
represents

247
00:09:00,494 --> 00:09:01,716
did you ask his mother?

248
00:09:01,986 --> 00:09:02,066
Ride The Wave

249
00:09:02,099 --> 00:09:02,575
sense.

250
00:09:02,575 --> 00:09:04,955
that he would go, the

251
00:09:05,356 --> 00:09:06,526
That's my favorite part.

252
00:09:06,656 --> 00:09:09,968
It's like the Welsh people had
a sense of humor, obviously.

253
00:09:10,056 --> 00:09:10,076
so

254
00:09:10,268 --> 00:09:12,533
the rivers, fish being
sacred, that kind of thing.

255
00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:12,785
So

256
00:09:13,085 --> 00:09:15,146
Arthur's like, yeah, we did.

257
00:09:15,186 --> 00:09:16,376
She doesn't know where he is.

258
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:22,786
And the salmon's like, well, actually I
have seen light coming from a castle, you

259
00:09:22,786 --> 00:09:27,736
know, far up the river and I can take you,
but I can only take two men at a time.

260
00:09:27,736 --> 00:09:33,736
So you will come with me, King Arthur,
and we will bring Mabon back with us.

261
00:09:33,736 --> 00:09:33,879
Amanda B Norr [08:54.223]

262
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:33,915
Okay.

263
00:09:33,915 --> 00:09:33,950
Clearly.

264
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:34,200
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [09:21.653]

265
00:09:34,236 --> 00:09:35,326
And so that's what happens.

266
00:09:35,326 --> 00:09:36,716
And he is like the savior.

267
00:09:36,726 --> 00:09:39,056
He's like the, you know, the Christ child.

268
00:09:39,066 --> 00:09:42,866
He's the one that comes back to
save the people from the boar.

269
00:09:42,866 --> 00:09:46,973
So even though Mabon has like little
to nothing to do with this story,

270
00:09:47,273 --> 00:09:47,777
And he

271
00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:53,519
he is the savior and he comes back
with Arthur, which by the way, Arthur

272
00:09:53,819 --> 00:09:54,070
boar.

273
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:54,826
So even though

274
00:09:55,126 --> 00:09:59,406
is associated with bear in Welsh language.

275
00:09:59,406 --> 00:10:00,636
Arth means bear.

276
00:10:01,256 --> 00:10:04,046
And so there is some relationship to

277
00:10:04,086 --> 00:10:09,376
perhaps the North Star and the bear
in the sky, the constellation, the

278
00:10:09,386 --> 00:10:13,226
bear, just a little history for
those who love that kind of stuff.

279
00:10:13,226 --> 00:10:14,011
Amanda B Norr [ 10:00.855]

280
00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:14,506
side notes.

281
00:10:14,506 --> 00:10:16,885
Totally

282
00:10:17,185 --> 00:10:18,086
So there you have it.

283
00:10:18,096 --> 00:10:21,986
That's story of Mabon.

284
00:10:22,006 --> 00:10:25,806
And as you can see, doesn't really have
a whole lot to do with the Equinox.

285
00:10:26,356 --> 00:10:32,846
But some traditions have adapted over
time to become just part of something

286
00:10:32,846 --> 00:10:35,196
that we now associate it with.

287
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:40,776
And some people like Mabon being
part of the Equinox because it's sort

288
00:10:40,776 --> 00:10:42,843
of a Demeter and Persephone story.

289
00:10:43,546 --> 00:10:47,216
Like when Persephone
returns, spring comes back.

290
00:10:47,576 --> 00:10:48,566
This is when Perse...

291
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:53,076
the time of year when Persephone leaves
to go to Hades in the underworld.

292
00:10:53,106 --> 00:10:56,966
And so Demeter so aggrieved the
loss of her daughter that we get

293
00:10:56,966 --> 00:11:02,286
winter and the dead and Demeter
being the goddess of harvest.

294
00:11:02,816 --> 00:11:04,296
This is harvest season, right?

295
00:11:05,056 --> 00:11:05,626
So

296
00:11:05,926 --> 00:11:06,986
The Wave Media

297
00:11:07,046 --> 00:11:08,526
yeah, so stories change.

298
00:11:08,596 --> 00:11:10,656
Stories take on new meaning.

299
00:11:10,686 --> 00:11:12,656
And I kind of like that...

300
00:11:12,656 --> 00:11:12,671

301
00:11:12,671 --> 00:11:12,675

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [11:00.105]

303
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:16,086
there is sort of an aspect you
can relate it to this time of

304
00:11:16,106 --> 00:11:18,136
year and the descent into winter

305
00:11:18,436 --> 00:11:18,831

306
00:11:19,131 --> 00:11:19,774
for this time.

307
00:11:19,774 --> 00:11:20,946
Amanda B Norr [11:06.693]

308
00:11:21,246 --> 00:11:23,636
So something so super interesting, right?

309
00:11:23,646 --> 00:11:26,616
So as I learned about the
will of the year, right?

310
00:11:26,626 --> 00:11:27,476
And it's kind of more of

311
00:11:27,481 --> 00:11:28,966
of more of a modern

312
00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:31,189
a modern take on things.

313
00:11:31,489 --> 00:11:31,797
farm.

314
00:11:31,797 --> 00:11:32,105
I

315
00:11:32,405 --> 00:11:33,306
I grew up on a farm.

316
00:11:34,246 --> 00:11:35,116
I married a farmer.

317
00:11:35,256 --> 00:11:38,586
So I have been a farmer
for almost 46 years, right?

318
00:11:39,276 --> 00:11:39,866
And...

319
00:11:40,932 --> 00:11:45,066
until I really started connecting
with the moon and with the cycles

320
00:11:45,066 --> 00:11:48,486
and the seasons, I mean, I always
know it's harvest time, right?

321
00:11:48,516 --> 00:11:52,036
We always harvest the corn in September.

322
00:11:52,076 --> 00:11:52,460
Like, that's

323
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,376
like the

324
00:11:53,676 --> 00:11:54,086
a thing.

325
00:11:54,176 --> 00:11:57,186
And the thing with Mabon on the
will, when we talk about the whole

326
00:11:57,186 --> 00:12:00,516
will, it's considered like the
third harvest, or I've heard it

327
00:12:00,516 --> 00:12:01,766
called like, which is Thanksgiving.

328
00:12:01,776 --> 00:12:05,276
And it honestly makes more sense to have
Thanksgiving in September than November,

329
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:05,576
harvest.

330
00:12:05,707 --> 00:12:06,632
it's like out,

331
00:12:06,676 --> 00:12:07,666
things are available.

332
00:12:08,086 --> 00:12:10,436
But it's true, and then
like the third harvest.

333
00:12:11,366 --> 00:12:14,036
it's like out, know, cause
we do start harvesting.

334
00:12:14,036 --> 00:12:17,406
So like the first harvest is
like the first of June, right?

335
00:12:17,406 --> 00:12:18,926
Cause you plant everything in the spring.

336
00:12:18,963 --> 00:12:19,579
crops of

337
00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:20,376
the first harvest.

338
00:12:20,376 --> 00:12:24,146
I mean, you end up with three
or four crops of hay and other

339
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,056
things throughout the year.

340
00:12:26,336 --> 00:12:28,476
But then you hit like August time.

341
00:12:28,486 --> 00:12:31,706
That's when you're harvesting
the wheat and things like that.

342
00:12:32,096 --> 00:12:33,456
And then this is the time, right?

343
00:12:33,456 --> 00:12:35,586

00:12:36,828 --> 00:12:39,136
you're gonna start later in the month,
you're starting getting more pumpkins

350
00:12:39,136 --> 00:12:40,486
and squashes and things like that.

351
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:43,216
so, and then I worked at a
fruit stand for a few years when

352
00:12:43,216 --> 00:12:44,166
my kids were in high school.

353
00:12:44,626 --> 00:12:48,656
So it's really interesting when
you start actually, not a lot of

354
00:12:48,666 --> 00:12:52,125
people have that experience where
you're out working in the land.

Yeah!

357
00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:58,146
so when you actually line that up, and
again, it's for the Northern hemisphere,

358
00:12:58,156 --> 00:13:02,966
because clearly I have friends in
Australia and they are not the same.

that directly links you to that cycle,

445
00:14:55,546 --> 00:15:02,106
But I, I think it's fascinating that
how many people have shifted from kind

446
00:15:02,106 --> 00:15:07,056
of a traditional Christian dogma or
faith and have adopted sort of a pagan

447

spirituality in some sense or another.

to a place where we're

458

to a place where we're

459
00:15:21,943 --> 00:15:22,834
to this

460
00:15:23,134 --> 00:15:27,466
realizing or awakening to this idea
that there's something missing.

461
00:15:27,536 --> 00:15:31,406
There's something we weren't quite
understanding about the natural

462

world and the spirituality of that.

463
00:15:34,476 --> 00:15:36,866

516
00:16:27,111 --> 00:16:27,161
I mean, that's what's really
important to understand is that

517
00:16:27,161 --> 00:16:27,236

together this weekend at Nuri Shinkin.

595
00:19:17,226 --> 00:19:19,076
somebody had to suffer for me to be here.

And then I study like the Celtic stuff
and I feel like it's liminal and I go in

610
00:19:35,196 --> 00:19:41,131
my head and it's almost like it connects,
but it's very otherworldly because

00:22:25,846 --> 00:22:25,894
Yeah, yeah, which is, mean, and I
love that you point out because having

689
00:22:25,894 --> 00:22:25,944
grown up as a farmer, I think that
that gives you such a different edge

690
00:22:25,944 --> 00:22:25,998
on, I already know how it is to have
that relationship with the land or to

691
00:22:25,998 --> 00:22:26,048
even see it as the goddess itself, the
mother who takes care of me, right?

692
00:22:26,048 --> 00:22:26,062
The mother that's here.

693
00:22:26,062 --> 00:22:26,085
And then like you said, liminal space.

694
00:22:26,085 --> 00:22:26,139
is the mother that I came from and
they can both occupy space in my mind.

are trying to poison us and whatever.

they're using a pesticide or

700
00:22:36,662 --> 00:22:41,396
farmers, I've just always known
farmers do more self care and land

701
00:22:41,396 --> 00:22:47,176
rehab and are paying attention even
if they're using a pesticide or a

702
00:22:47,176 --> 00:22:48,596
herbicide, which everybody hates.

703
00:22:49,306 --> 00:22:53,406
They're putting more conscious effort into
the earth and the land and preservation

704
00:22:53,406 --> 00:23:00,446
than anybody because their entire
livelihood and survival depends on it.

Amanda B Norr

732
00:23:35,786 --> 00:23:38,656
You know, like they got preg
checked, they got looked at.

733
00:23:38,656 --> 00:23:42,306
I mean, I did have maternity care, you
know, with my pregnancies, but like if

734
00:23:42,306 --> 00:23:46,004
they didn't feel good, they got medicine
and we didn't have health insurance.

735
00:23:46,176 --> 00:23:50,076
And so if I didn't feel good, I got to lay
on the couch and still figure out how to

736
00:23:50,076 --> 00:23:54,726
feed my kids, get them back and forth and
sleep as much as possible and heal because

737
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:58,156
I wasn't going to get a prescription and
I wasn't going to get a doctor visit.

738
00:23:58,646 --> 00:24:00,226
And the cows got checked every year.

739
00:24:01,086 --> 00:24:04,476

get frustrating to me.

Amanda B Norr [23:52.281]

743
00:24:04,786 --> 00:24:08,576
But then, yeah, then as this journey, it's
like, well, the land is the mother earth.

744
00:24:08,606 --> 00:24:10,396
And then there's the
sovereignty and all that.

745
00:24:10,396 --> 00:24:13,046
Then it's just like, this
all makes more sense.

746
00:24:13,386 --> 00:24:13,750
yeah, then as this journey, it's like,
well, the land is the mother earth.

And then there's the

Then it's just like, this
all makes more sense.

749
00:24:13,831 --> 00:24:13,850
But and so I with the stuff that I do
with farming, I really would like I'm

750
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:13,866
trying to embody and be that more because
again, more farmers are men than women.

751
00:24:13,866 --> 00:24:13,880
But there's actually more women farmers
and more women owned farms than there's

And so it's kind of like, okay, let's
shift our minds from even though they're

764
00:24:41,556 --> 00:24:45,446
caring for it and it is a bit of a self
-interest, but it's also because they

765
00:24:45,446 --> 00:24:49,906
really love to just work really hard
and feed people that they don't know.

767
00:24:51,676 --> 00:24:54,756
They enjoy what they do and they know
they're serving the world because

768
00:24:54,756 --> 00:24:57,876
they're providing food for people
that people, if they don't do that,

769
00:24:57,876 --> 00:24:59,026
it's not going to be in the store.

Amanda B Norr [24:49.133]

776
00:25:01,646 --> 00:25:05,746
And yet let's shift that theme
where it is more of a mother earth

777
00:25:05,796 --> 00:25:11,416
versus just, you know, it's a whole,
it's really interesting to me.

And that does kind of pull you back.

781
00:25:14,206 --> 00:25:15,376
Like the idea of like

782
00:25:15,465 --> 00:25:16,071
comes from directly from the earth.

783
00:25:16,071 --> 00:25:16,980
You're able to pull it back into what was

784
00:25:16,996 --> 00:25:21,736
what this harvest season represents
for you, you with a more personal

785
00:25:21,736 --> 00:25:24,366
nature to where the food comes
from directly from the earth.

786
00:25:24,876 --> 00:25:30,036
You're able to pull it back into what was
this time of year really like for ancient

787
00:25:30,046 --> 00:25:35,316
people who were like, listen, if we don't
get the food we need, like if we don't

788
00:25:35,326 --> 00:25:38,186
harvest enough, we don't survive winter.

789
00:25:38,716 --> 00:25:40,466
our children won't survive winter.

790
00:25:40,476 --> 00:25:44,996
So it really kind of puts that into
perspective, even as we talk about, you

791
00:25:44,996 --> 00:25:48,726
know, celebrating this harvest season,
understanding it within ourselves, but

792
00:25:48,736 --> 00:25:54,676
also kind of taking a moment to say
physically, not just in a spiritual or

793
00:25:54,676 --> 00:25:58,926
traditional manner, but physically, this
is what our ancestors would have been.

794
00:25:59,356 --> 00:26:02,646
So this is when they would have been
making offerings to their deities

795
00:26:03,256 --> 00:26:07,146
and doing that spiritual work because
they would have been like, this is our

going to talk about with Mabon?

829
00:27:05,499 --> 00:27:11,936

Mabon is to those of us who practice magic
or those of us who are in a spiritual

We're planting, but
they're harvesting, right?

860
00:27:55,906 --> 00:27:59,709
And honestly, and this is why Nuri
Sinkin or any kind of group that kind

861
00:27:59,709 --> 00:28:03,235
of just brings forward that whether
you're using the Wheel of the Year,

862
00:28:03,386 --> 00:28:06,986
the Wiccan calendar, you know, the way
that they set it up or whether you're

863
00:28:06,986 --> 00:28:09,436
just acknowledging that there's more to

864
00:28:09,736 --> 00:28:11,136
of just brings forward that

865
00:28:11,436 --> 00:28:16,566
mark those occasions throughout
the year and to, I mean, just

866
00:28:16,566 --> 00:28:19,896
create kind of a mindfulness
around what is the season about?

867
00:28:19,956 --> 00:28:20,996
What does this mean to me?

868
00:28:21,686 --> 00:28:25,376
And for someone who, from my
perspective, was not a farmer,

869
00:28:25,690 --> 00:28:26,655
around what is

870
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:32,006
dad, we lived on a peach orchard and
my dad took out probably three peach

871
00:28:32,006 --> 00:28:35,786
trees on accident when we moved into
our house, because he'd fire up the

872
00:28:35,786 --> 00:28:37,596
tractor and he'd be like, whoops.

873
00:28:37,656 --> 00:28:39,536
And he grew up there.

874
00:28:39,536 --> 00:28:42,186
That was his home, his family
home from when he grew up.

875
00:28:42,186 --> 00:28:44,046
And yeah, we were not farmers.

876
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:44,476
Let's just say

877
00:28:44,661 --> 00:28:45,304
And he

878
00:28:45,604 --> 00:28:48,326
Not great at the whole
planting and harvesting.

879
00:28:49,236 --> 00:28:51,086

00:28:51,446 --> 00:28:53,956
I sort of wrote it off as
like, that's just not me.

884
00:28:53,976 --> 00:28:59,066
I'm not good at that until I started
to want that and want like, what

885
00:28:59,066 --> 00:29:04,386
would it be to have a relationship
with my, even my little suburban

886
00:29:04,396 --> 00:29:06,326
house in a little suburban yard?

887
00:29:06,776 --> 00:29:11,246
What would it be like to know every
plant that grows in my yard and

888
00:29:11,326 --> 00:29:17,176
every, you know, and to like have
my hands in the dirt and have my own

889
00:29:17,186 --> 00:29:19,546
relationship with this land I live on.

890
00:29:20,036 --> 00:29:25,836
giving it the honor that it deserves and
the relationship it deserves that maybe

891
00:29:25,836 --> 00:29:28,906
some of those people that lived here,
the indigenous people that lived on this

892
00:29:28,906 --> 00:29:33,666
land would have done while they created
their folklore and stories and mythology

893
00:29:33,696 --> 00:29:37,094
around these mountains, these plants.

894
00:29:37,326 --> 00:29:37,346
So

895
00:29:37,394 --> 00:29:38,359
on this land

896
00:29:38,496 --> 00:29:43,996
just being able to kind of marry
that idea that yes, I celebrate

897
00:29:44,056 --> 00:29:45,296
and I come from a more...

898
00:29:46,266 --> 00:29:50,336
Celtic ancestry and I try to adapt
that into my life as much as possible.

899
00:29:50,566 --> 00:29:53,166
It is more of a liminal
space because I'm not there.

900
00:29:53,716 --> 00:29:56,696
Those mountains are not here with me.

901
00:29:56,736 --> 00:29:58,546
I have to imagine them.

902
00:29:59,106 --> 00:30:01,346
And then what do I have
right here in front of me?

903
00:30:01,346 --> 00:30:05,986
That is what I have and marry
those two ideas into just having

904
00:30:05,986 --> 00:30:07,446
relationship with land, right?

905
00:30:07,746 --> 00:30:09,227
have and marry those two

906
00:30:09,336 --> 00:30:09,656
Yeah.

907
00:30:09,956 --> 00:30:10,806
just having relationship

908
00:30:11,135 --> 00:30:13,376
Okay, so I did kind of
write down a couple of the

909
00:30:13,407 --> 00:30:14,693
kind of write down

910
00:30:14,736 --> 00:30:18,376
know, ancient traditions, we talk
about kind of during Mabon so that

911
00:30:18,376 --> 00:30:21,886
people who maybe aren't familiar
with it would know what is this?

912
00:30:22,197 --> 00:30:24,126
Why, what are we talking about?

913
00:30:24,616 --> 00:30:29,036
A lot of the people when they did
festivals would do bonfires as, you

914
00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:32,616
know, for practical reasons, because
they're probably burning off things,

915
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:33,836
off things, dead things

916
00:30:34,136 --> 00:30:39,676
dead things and diseased, you
know, plants and whatever excess

917
00:30:39,676 --> 00:30:40,896
things that they had to burn off.

918
00:30:40,896 --> 00:30:41,896
But it was also like a

Amanda B Norr

920
00:30:42,346 --> 00:30:45,246
And now's the time of the year,
depending on where you live, that the

921
00:30:45,246 --> 00:30:46,786
wheat, they're burning their fields.

922
00:30:47,576 --> 00:30:50,336
They're burning the stubble so
that it integrates back into the

923
00:30:50,404 --> 00:30:52,796
ground that they can dig it up
and have it ready for spring.

924
00:30:52,806 --> 00:30:54,726

Like I have, I've got those decks now.

1023
00:33:36,586 --> 00:33:39,646
So now I'm like, for this season, I
pull a card and then I'll like pull

1024
00:33:39,746 --> 00:33:43,876
several cards throughout that time
and just connect that way for myself.

1025
00:33:44,466 --> 00:33:49,336
But it is going outside and I did learn
how, okay, like I'll have to explain this.

1026
00:33:49,396 --> 00:33:51,756
I learned how to drive
the swather this year.

1027
00:33:52,346 --> 00:33:55,246
The swather is what we use to cut hay.

So it's this nice big machine, it's
huge, big long teeth, you know, that

1032
00:34:00,646 --> 00:34:03,396
you just drive back and forth in
the field and cut and it makes the

1033
00:34:03,396 --> 00:34:06,316
rows and then the baler comes behind
and puts it in the cubes, you know?

So that's been kind of nice.

00:34:14,263 --> 00:34:17,866
And I think that's why I kind
of, even though I love doing farm

1042

of allergies or raising kids.

interesting because I mean, just dumb

1083

So and like it's just it's just a rock
like no one's gonna spend any money

1084
00:35:15,916 --> 00:35:21,256
on at the crystal shop but it does
something to me to just ground me or

1085
00:35:21,369 --> 00:35:22,498
live in the mountains

1086
00:35:22,596 --> 00:35:24,173
and then because i live in the mountains

1087
00:35:24,473 --> 00:35:25,320
changes and whatever.

1088
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:25,885
So for

1089
00:35:25,996 --> 00:35:28,626
or around the, you see the
color changes and whatever.

1090
00:35:28,636 --> 00:35:33,566
So for me personally, I just get
more intentional and I like to use

1091
00:35:33,606 --> 00:35:37,676
the wheel to just kind of mark it
just so that I can bring that in.

1092
00:35:38,106 --> 00:35:43,176
And since I'm pretty much the only
person in my family that does it, I kind

1093
00:35:43,176 --> 00:35:48,326
of just have to do it solo and on the
quiet or like, I mean, I'll take the

1094
00:35:48,326 --> 00:35:51,956
grandkids and like, well, let's go on
a hike or, you know, things like that.

1095
00:35:52,436 --> 00:35:54,336

00:36:14,736 --> 00:36:16,226
That's where the intention came.

1103
00:36:16,936 --> 00:36:20,166
And I've been building and watching
this intention and going through

1104
00:36:20,166 --> 00:36:23,666

season cycles, how things have

gone and then listening to myself.

that I've done and it just everybody's
like, that is like ridiculous.

1147
00:37:10,056 --> 00:37:15,776
I have a 45 pound vest because I am on
a volunteer fire department and every

1148
00:37:15,776 --> 00:37:18,916
year we have to do it's called the
pack test where you wear 45 pounds.

have to do it in less than 45 minutes.

00:37:21,896 --> 00:37:25,206
So I bought my own vest to kind of just
stay active and then my husband has one.

1151
00:37:25,206 --> 00:37:27,376
So I put the vest on and
then I put his vest on.

was like, I don't even know what to do,

1160
00:37:39,176 --> 00:37:44,066
was like, can I get down on my knees and
stand up without having to grab on things?

1161
00:37:44,736 --> 00:37:47,766

things to build up.

talk about you and I being part

1174
00:38:02,436 --> 00:38:06,366
So I was basically like
a couple of months ago.

1175
00:38:08,326 --> 00:38:11,076
You know, I had been gaining
weight and I had been not mindful

about what I was eating and how I
was moving and things like that.

that kind of sparked it.

1178

was more that listening to your body

1184
00:38:26,796 --> 00:38:30,956
Like I just kept having this feeling
or these, these urges to like run as

1185
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:38,896
fast as I could across a field or just
like, I wanted to go to bed tired, but

1186
00:38:38,896 --> 00:38:44,587
not like in a, I'm just tired way, but
like, want to be exhausted physically.

1187
00:38:45,476 --> 00:38:47,587
I want my body to feel tired.

1188
00:38:47,666 --> 00:38:50,706
Like that, like when you're walking
Disneyland or something all day

1189
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:52,516
long and you're like, I'm so tired.

1190
00:38:52,676 --> 00:38:53,276
Well, and see,

1191
00:38:53,486 --> 00:38:53,786
into a

Amanda

1194
00:38:56,286 --> 00:38:57,946
to be like, because I was like that.

1195
00:38:57,966 --> 00:39:03,006
So like in my 20s when I would exercise,
I would overtrain and I didn't.

1196
00:39:03,216 --> 00:39:06,346
really I'm doing more now than I
did then, but I was always tired.

1197
00:39:06,376 --> 00:39:09,946
Like, I can exercise and make dinner
was like all I had energy for ever.

1198
00:39:10,626 --> 00:39:12,756
And so I was really
afraid for a long time.

1199
00:39:12,756 --> 00:39:14,576
Like I don't, I don't
want to do something.

1200
00:39:14,576 --> 00:39:15,546
So I'm always tired.

1201
00:39:15,546 --> 00:39:17,326
And then I can't deal with stuff.

1202
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:20,696
But when you talk about running,
like I'm going on a walk and then

1203
00:39:20,696 --> 00:39:24,856
all of a sudden, like a song would
hit in my phone and then I'm running

1204
00:39:24,866 --> 00:39:27,086
and I am like, why am I running?

1205
00:39:27,147 --> 00:39:28,140
like a song would hit in my

1206
00:39:28,176 --> 00:39:28,686
to run.

1207
00:39:28,707 --> 00:39:29,841
running and I am like, why am I

1208
00:39:29,956 --> 00:39:30,196
sucks.

1209
00:39:30,196 --> 00:39:32,094
And my body's like, well,
this is what we want to do.

1210
00:39:32,246 --> 00:39:32,766
Cause it's going to help.

1211
00:39:32,817 --> 00:39:33,384
it's going to help.

1212
00:39:33,384 --> 00:39:33,526
Okay.

1213
00:39:33,526 --> 00:39:34,377
So I do go on runs

1214
00:39:34,446 --> 00:39:34,686
Okay.

1215
00:39:35,356 --> 00:39:39,316
So I do go on runs now, but

1216
00:39:39,526 --> 00:39:40,556
I don't like it still.

1218
00:39:41,323 --> 00:39:43,896
I know, I understand

1219
00:39:44,046 --> 00:39:47,336
When my body says, we're running, I'm
like, okay, I guess we're running.

1220
00:39:47,376 --> 00:39:49,021
And then my lungs are like, whoo.

1221
00:39:49,346 --> 00:39:52,566
And it's like, but that's building
that endurance that I need.

1222
00:39:52,566 --> 00:39:54,280
So

1223
00:39:54,596 --> 00:39:55,896
and I have heard a lot of,

1224
00:39:56,196 --> 00:39:57,546
was

1225
00:39:57,846 --> 00:40:02,956
know, kind of mystics and people in
the kind of world and language we speak

1226
00:40:03,396 --> 00:40:07,666
that have said that Mabon is a really
great time for grounding and embodiment.

1227
00:40:07,676 --> 00:40:11,026
So I'm thinking this is all
related to the time of year two

1228
00:40:11,066 --> 00:40:12,486
of just being able to recognize

1229
00:40:13,133 --> 00:40:14,847
know,

1230
00:40:14,936 --> 00:40:16,186
I'm doing is just,

1231
00:40:16,561 --> 00:40:18,275
understand

1232
00:40:18,686 --> 00:40:22,126
or how much of it is, am I
really listening to my body?

1233
00:40:22,774 --> 00:40:26,786
mindful about like what my body
is asking for, what it needs.

1234
00:40:27,136 --> 00:40:30,266

1236
00:40:32,066 --> 00:40:35,926

rather than just being like, I got

1237
00:40:35,926 --> 00:40:40,026
to get on a diet and a exercise plan
and I got to do, you know, all these

1238
00:40:40,036 --> 00:40:41,616
things that work for everybody else,

1239
00:40:41,631 --> 00:40:41,798
great time for grounding and embodiment.

1240
00:40:41,798 --> 00:40:42,216
So I'm thinking this is all related
to the time of year two of just

1241
00:40:42,216 --> 00:40:42,411
being able to recognize how much of

1242
00:40:42,426 --> 00:40:45,316
but being more like mindful
about your own body and your

1243

personal choices and what you do.

1244
00:40:47,936 --> 00:40:52,326

muscle test and they just look at me like.

I get this intuitive thing,
like this is what I should do.

1246
00:40:57,996 --> 00:40:59,516
And then I'm like, am I sure?

1247
00:40:59,876 --> 00:41:00,846
So then I'll muscle test.

1248
00:41:00,846 --> 00:41:01,866

Yeah, yeah, the kinesiology
muscle testing is a super, super

1261
00:41:07,666 --> 00:41:10,036
powerful, helpful tool in those

1262
00:41:10,146 --> 00:41:12,466
that's why I just taught my
daughter, because she had allergies

1263
00:41:12,476 --> 00:41:15,996
all as a kid, and we could never
find the right thing for her.

1264
00:41:15,996 --> 00:41:18,776
So we would just lay out the different
medications and we would just

1265
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:22,561
muscle test which to take and how
much just to control her allergies.

1266
00:41:22,776 --> 00:41:26,456
so even in college, she'd call me, Mom,
I need you to muscle test this for me.

00:43:47,836 --> 00:43:48,826
Three or four?

1368
00:43:48,896 --> 00:43:51,186
Yeah, you've been able, cause
you down there, you get to go

1369
00:43:51,226 --> 00:43:52,866
Yeah, I'm down there so I can

1370
00:43:52,896 --> 00:43:54,026
to go to one.

1371
00:43:54,656 --> 00:43:55,146
Yeah.

1372
00:43:55,206 --> 00:43:57,896
the online ones, but I've only ever
been able to attend one in -person

1373
00:43:57,896 --> 00:44:00,116
one and that was last October.

1374
00:44:00,456 --> 00:44:01,486
I know I'm trying to think.

1375
00:44:01,516 --> 00:44:04,886
I think this is our third year

1376
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:05,348
we're about to start.

1377
00:44:05,348 --> 00:44:05,813
So I've been at every

1378
00:44:05,976 --> 00:44:06,916
we're about to start.

1379
00:44:06,926 --> 00:44:09,206
So I've been at every
Mabon with nursing kin.

1380
00:44:09,206 --> 00:44:11,036
I think that was the very
first one we did too.

1381
00:44:11,036 --> 00:44:13,966
And for the last two
years we've done Beesums.

1382
00:44:13,976 --> 00:44:15,916
So we make a witch's broom.

1383
00:44:15,926 --> 00:44:16,856
We take a bunch of

1384
00:44:16,929 --> 00:44:17,415

00:44:22,486 --> 00:44:23,846
We can put charms on them.

1388
00:44:23,846 --> 00:44:25,386
We can decorate it.

1393
00:44:28,176 --> 00:44:31,946
I actually left there at the campsite
because I couldn't find it in the dark.

1394
00:44:32,666 --> 00:44:32,936
Oops.

1395
00:44:33,406 --> 00:44:34,776

house all year collecting energy.

1398
00:44:41,546 --> 00:44:46,236
I like to use the brooms, especially
if I buy the scented ones,

1399
00:44:46,246 --> 00:44:49,746
cinnamon scented ones and stuff,
and I put them over my doorways.

1400
00:44:50,716 --> 00:44:54,536
And I use it intentionally for
collecting energy as it comes through

1401
00:44:54,536 --> 00:44:56,776
the door, sweeping energy out.

you know, when people leave so
that they're kind of cleansed

1406
00:44:59,806 --> 00:45:01,416
as they walk through my doorway.

1407
00:45:02,166 --> 00:45:06,448
I haven't made one at nourishing
kin, I did go and I made one and

1408
00:45:06,448 --> 00:45:08,646
it is a hang at my back door.

1409
00:45:09,456 --> 00:45:12,226
And then sometimes I just kind of take
it off and I just kind of go around

1410
00:45:12,226 --> 00:45:15,369
my house and sweep the air because I'm
like, we got to clear some stuff out.

1413
00:45:16,996 --> 00:45:21,962
Before I even studied any
energy work whatsoever, did that

1414
00:45:22,262 --> 00:45:23,028
Before I

1415
00:45:23,328 --> 00:45:23,756
intuitively.

1416
00:45:23,776 --> 00:45:28,426
I just started to be like, there is
some stagnant yuck in this house.

1417
00:45:28,556 --> 00:45:30,116
Everybody's at each other's throats.

1418
00:45:30,146 --> 00:45:32,616
Everybody is mad at each other.

1419
00:45:32,636 --> 00:45:35,316
So I'm like, we're just going to
go around and collect the energy.

1420
00:45:35,316 --> 00:45:39,251
And I would pick it like cobwebs out
of the corners and just go like this.

1421
00:45:39,406 --> 00:45:41,196
And then we would push it out the door.

1422
00:45:41,916 --> 00:45:41,936
now

1423
00:45:42,177 --> 00:45:42,943
pick it

1424
00:45:43,076 --> 00:45:44,356
I do that with the broom.

1425
00:45:44,586 --> 00:45:49,296
But this is a great time, you know, just
to create a ritual and there's no, you

1426
00:45:49,296 --> 00:45:54,376
know, and fast rule about this, but we
like to burn ours in the campfire and

1427
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:58,906
then make a new one so that you have like
cleanse the energy of the old year and

1428
00:45:59,046 --> 00:46:01,316
welcome the new energy of the new year.

1429
00:46:01,336 --> 00:46:04,946
And, you know, kind of a
ritual of starting over.

1430
00:46:05,556 --> 00:46:09,706
A lot of us that have altars in our
house, we will take, like you were saying,

1431
00:46:09,726 --> 00:46:14,126
pulling cards for the season and then
decorate your altar with those cards.

1432
00:46:14,256 --> 00:46:20,306
and some things like wheat and corn
and items that kind of represent

1433
00:46:20,366 --> 00:46:24,003
this time of year as you're offering

1434
00:46:24,303 --> 00:46:24,686
take,

1435
00:46:24,986 --> 00:46:29,576
candles to burn, things like
that, certain colors that

1436
00:46:29,576 --> 00:46:31,146
remind you of this time of year.

1437
00:46:31,726 --> 00:46:36,216
And so that's, you know, not necessarily
that it has to have a direct correlation

1438
00:46:36,216 --> 00:46:38,766
to ancient traditions, but just that

1439
00:46:38,855 --> 00:46:39,621
candles to

1440
00:46:39,776 --> 00:46:40,646
are kind of

1441
00:46:40,826 --> 00:46:46,246
the ancestors of our descendants, get
to kind of make what we feel is going

1442
00:46:46,266 --> 00:46:52,996
to honor ourselves, honor the goddess,
if you so choose, or source, honor

1443
00:46:53,025 --> 00:46:54,557
we are kind of

1444
00:46:54,636 --> 00:46:55,436
the time of year.

1445
00:46:55,486 --> 00:46:57,966
Just honor this place in your life, right?

1446
00:46:58,004 --> 00:47:00,186
make what we feel is going

1447
00:47:00,486 --> 00:47:03,966
Now, because you are the author
of Lunar Wisdom, this is something

1448
00:47:03,966 --> 00:47:07,661
that I've been trying to kind of use
more and more in my healing work,

1449
00:47:07,961 --> 00:47:08,727
place in

1450
00:47:09,027 --> 00:47:11,096
whether it's for self or for clients.

1451
00:47:11,106 --> 00:47:16,206
But I like to think of this
as like the quarter moon phase

1452
00:47:16,266 --> 00:47:18,316
of going into the dark moon.

1453
00:47:18,846 --> 00:47:19,476
Like

1454
00:47:19,833 --> 00:47:20,599
work, whether

1455
00:47:20,899 --> 00:47:24,626
this is the time of year that you're
going into your descent, right?

1456
00:47:25,046 --> 00:47:26,546
Like going into

1457
00:47:26,846 --> 00:47:29,024
quarter moon phase of going into

1458
00:47:29,066 --> 00:47:30,346
work, if you will.

You're just looking at what
is confronting, you know,

1464
00:47:35,996 --> 00:47:37,416
going into shadow

1465
00:47:37,506 --> 00:47:38,646
be more stressed than

1466
00:47:38,856 --> 00:47:38,882

1467
00:47:38,882 --> 00:47:38,908

Yeah.

1469
00:47:38,946 --> 00:47:40,036
And most of the shadow work, I always
feel like most of the shadow work will

1470
00:47:40,036 --> 00:47:44,006
happen during when the sun is in Scorpio,
but we're preparing for that, Right,

So we are actually, so if we're talking
current moon, right, we're coming along

to the first quarter moon, which, and
at each quarter moon is a time to really

be grateful and to kind of assess if
what you want's what you really want.

lot of like external conflicts.

1506
00:48:45,566 --> 00:48:49,464
So maybe with people more or
like things outside of you.

1507

And then when you're having the third
quarter moon, because it's after the full

1508

moon and you're going down again, then

00:49:07,556 --> 00:49:12,706
when this episode releases, we're
coming into this episode is going to

1517
00:49:12,706 --> 00:49:16,676
release more closer to the Equinox,
which is why I'm recording it now.

1518
00:49:16,676 --> 00:49:17,146
So it'll

1519
00:49:17,157 --> 00:49:17,170
Yes.

1520
00:49:17,170 --> 00:49:17,183
Yes.

1521
00:49:17,183 --> 00:49:17,334
when this episode releases, we're
coming into this episode is going to

1522
00:49:17,334 --> 00:49:17,499
release more closer to the Equinox,
which is why I'm recording it now.

1523
00:49:17,499 --> 00:49:17,600
So it'll be coming out after we've had.

1524
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:17,650
Amanda B Norr [49:02.743]

1525
00:49:17,650 --> 00:49:17,676
Okay, right.

1526
00:49:17,676 --> 00:49:19,073
And so it will be after the full moon.

1527
00:49:19,306 --> 00:49:22,486
So things will be waning and will
be going internal, which is also

1528
00:49:22,486 --> 00:49:23,796
what and that's what we're doing.

1529
00:49:23,796 --> 00:49:26,076
Then that's Mabon itself is that

1530
00:49:26,106 --> 00:49:26,716
Right.

1531
00:49:26,976 --> 00:49:27,616
and going

1532
00:49:27,916 --> 00:49:28,706
Yes.

1533
00:49:29,326 --> 00:49:32,886
It's sort of like, just like, you know,
we have these cycles throughout every

1534
00:49:32,886 --> 00:49:35,956
month and we have these cycles of dissent.

1535
00:49:36,286 --> 00:49:37,906
We're confronting things.

1536
00:49:38,066 --> 00:49:42,996
going through our, you know, confrontation
stage can be like difficult because you're

1537
00:49:42,996 --> 00:49:46,496
confronting all those shadows that you're
like, I was really trying to avoid that.

1538
00:49:46,526 --> 00:49:50,596
I didn't really want to look at that
part of myself or things like that.

1539
00:49:51,026 --> 00:49:54,476
It also kind of follows the
cycle of the Wheel of the Year.

1540
00:49:54,486 --> 00:49:58,946
So yeah, like Mabon is kind of the
descent into this is when we're coming

1541
00:49:58,946 --> 00:50:03,316
into our dark period, not necessarily
dark in a bad way that it's going to be

1542
00:50:03,316 --> 00:50:08,686
that hard, but just like, what does this,
you know, time of year mean for you?

1543
00:50:08,976 --> 00:50:11,996
For me, it's going to be
a lot more rest, I hope.

1544
00:50:12,316 --> 00:50:12,806
resting.

1545
00:50:12,816 --> 00:50:17,366
I think the thing too is
we want like acceptance.

1546
00:50:17,496 --> 00:50:21,576
Because when we talk about shadow work
and whatever, when people will talk about

1547
00:50:21,581 --> 00:50:25,216
that, it's like, and it's not like the
bad parts of you, it's just the parts

1548
00:50:25,216 --> 00:50:27,486
of you that you haven't learned to love.

Amanda B Norr [50:18.027]

1554
00:50:30,436 --> 00:50:35,196
We live in a society that's hustle
and push and hustle and push, right?

1555
00:50:35,196 --> 00:50:38,326
And as women, it's really
hard to go, I need to rest.

1556
00:50:38,336 --> 00:50:44,446
Like my monthly cycle is waning and
I have less energy, I need to rest.

1557
00:50:44,456 --> 00:50:46,576
But I still have to go to work, I
still have to take care of my kids,

1558
00:50:46,576 --> 00:50:48,726
I still have to get them to school,
I still have to do all these things.

1564
00:50:58,266 --> 00:51:00,156
rest and is saying no today.

1565
00:51:00,686 --> 00:51:05,766
I'm going to love the part of me that
is overly emotional and cannot deal

1566
00:51:05,766 --> 00:51:11,810
with this right now because I get to
have a rest and then I'll be okay.

1567
00:51:12,110 --> 00:51:13,034

Amanda B Norr [51:01.045]

1573
00:51:13,506 --> 00:51:16,576
And so when we do shadow work and so
we go in and in Scorpio season, it's

1574
00:51:16,576 --> 00:51:19,556
going to be a lot of deep shadow stuff
and a lot of ancestral stuff because

1575
00:51:19,556 --> 00:51:20,720
that's when the veil is thinner.

1576
00:51:21,296 --> 00:51:25,276
But this is the best time now to
go, what is it that really I don't

1577
00:51:25,276 --> 00:51:29,170

else, audience can write in their

1593

answers here, but I feel like it's
going to confront you no matter what.

1594
00:51:42,876 --> 00:51:46,636
Like whether you're conscious of
it and saying, I'm noticing this

1595
00:51:46,676 --> 00:51:50,706
pattern, I'm noticing, you know, we're
coming into Scorpio and we're doing,

1596
00:51:50,726 --> 00:51:51,766
and this is what's going to happen.

1597

I feel like it's going to find a
way in some way, or form to bring

itself to you and say, this is
something you need to look at.

this last weekend.

1604
00:52:04,036 --> 00:52:07,346
My husband and I were a little bit at
each other's throats and I was like,

1605
00:52:07,346 --> 00:52:12,006
hmm, I'm gonna need to look at that for
a second and see why that's happening.

Amanda

1607
00:52:12,451 --> 00:52:12,684

1609
00:52:13,846 --> 00:52:19,946
Yes, and it's also okay to say that's
interesting and I need to look at

1610
00:52:19,946 --> 00:52:22,795
it and I'm really tired right now

1611
00:52:23,095 --> 00:52:24,204
thrown in your face

1612
00:52:24,366 --> 00:52:28,796
and I will schedule a time to look at
it because maybe it gets thrown in your

1613
00:52:28,796 --> 00:52:32,556
face and I don't know about you but when
things get thrown in my face there's

1614
00:52:32,556 --> 00:52:37,806
usually multiple and now's not the time
of year they have the bandwidth to solve

1615
00:52:37,806 --> 00:52:40,206

1618
00:52:42,976 --> 00:52:47,726
I'm discovering my Pisces self really
needs to learn how to say no to things

1619
00:52:48,026 --> 00:52:48,736
to learn how

1620
00:52:49,036 --> 00:52:51,326
and give myself that opportunity to rest.

1621
00:52:51,366 --> 00:52:54,546
And so I feel like when I'm
coming into winter, I used to

1622
00:52:55,076 --> 00:52:56,882
dread it so much because I love

1623
00:52:57,182 --> 00:52:57,800
so much

1624
00:52:57,936 --> 00:52:58,916
the sun being out.

1625
00:52:59,126 --> 00:53:02,056
I love long days and warm weather.

1626
00:53:02,086 --> 00:53:04,856
That's all usually been
my favorite time of year.

1627
00:53:05,526 --> 00:53:09,126
But I found myself getting more
depressed this year during spring

1628
00:53:09,136 --> 00:53:13,866
because I was kind of like, actually,
I loved the opportunity to hibernate.

1629
00:53:14,166 --> 00:53:15,316
people were asking me

1630
00:53:15,616 --> 00:53:19,586
There's less expectation on
me, less people were asking me

1631
00:53:19,596 --> 00:53:21,706
for help or what they needed.

1632
00:53:21,726 --> 00:53:24,436

kind of take care of me.

00:53:54,650 --> 00:53:54,655
You let yourself down because you're
so exhausted and you're so overwhelmed

and then you're snappy at the people
you love the most or the thing

1662

up letting down?

this is this is all part of for

1675
00:54:24,696 --> 00:54:27,666
those of us who are in the healing
community and use a lot of these

1676
00:54:27,696 --> 00:54:30,926
aspects of paganism as healing work.

1677
00:54:31,019 --> 00:54:32,264
Probably the biggest takeaway

1678
00:54:32,326 --> 00:54:32,756
That is.

1679
00:54:33,026 --> 00:54:36,466
Probably the biggest takeaway I
want to leave with people is to

1680
00:54:36,466 --> 00:54:40,366
take note of what this season feels
like to you in going into descent.

00:54:40,666 --> 00:54:43,156
note aspect, the Celtic
people didn't necessarily mark

1682
00:54:43,456 --> 00:54:48,596
just as a historical side note aspect,
the Celtic people didn't necessarily

1683
00:54:48,606 --> 00:54:54,326
mark the equinoxes as much as they
did even some of the more in between.

1684
00:54:54,786 --> 00:54:54,856
Different

1685
00:54:54,981 --> 00:54:58,715
We're all a little bit too busy
harvesting to really do anything

1686
00:54:58,726 --> 00:55:02,756
aspects of paganism from different
come froms have their own

1687
00:55:02,761 --> 00:55:03,694
wasn't necessarily a

1688
00:55:03,994 --> 00:55:07,616
experience around it, but
Celtic specifically, they were

1689
00:55:07,616 --> 00:55:10,016
like, yeah, it's the equinox.

1690
00:55:10,596 --> 00:55:14,076
We're all a little bit too busy
harvesting to really do anything about it.

1691
00:55:14,476 --> 00:55:16,706
So we have work to do.

1692
00:55:16,876 --> 00:55:22,366
yeah, like, Osteria and Easter wasn't
necessarily a time that they would do a

1693
00:55:22,366 --> 00:55:25,516
lot of celebrating either because they
were like, we're busy, we're planting.

1694
00:55:25,816 --> 00:55:25,986
we

1695
00:55:26,286 --> 00:55:28,059
So it was more like Beltane,
Kalanbe and Sawin or Kalangeif.

Ride The Wave Media

1704
00:55:32,466 --> 00:55:36,306
that marked the beginning of
winter and the beginning of summer.

1705
00:55:36,426 --> 00:55:39,338
It was sort of like light half
the year, dark half of the year,

1706
00:55:39,638 --> 00:55:40,347
an equinox

1707
00:55:40,506 --> 00:55:46,646
which is not necessarily an equinox or
a solstice, but that's just something

1708
00:55:46,646 --> 00:55:48,096
interesting that you might wanna note.

1709
00:55:48,167 --> 00:55:53,196
If you're feeling guilty, cause you don't
do anything special, or you're like,

1710
00:55:53,596 --> 00:55:58,226
I don't even really notice that this
time has come and gone, don't worry.

1711
00:55:58,326 --> 00:55:58,686
It's,

1712
00:55:58,986 --> 00:55:59,536
that's fine.

00:56:01,010 --> 00:56:01,015
Right.

1717
00:56:01,015 --> 00:56:01,029
And and then.

1718
00:56:01,029 --> 00:56:01,121
And I know and I didn't get to go to
the last to the last nursing kid, but I

1719
00:56:01,121 --> 00:56:01,184
know they talked about our own personal
astrology and how that affects us.

1720
00:56:01,184 --> 00:56:01,257
if you know astrology, if your rising
sign is at a different time of the

Trust yourself to do what works for you.

over the place because I'm like

1745
00:56:47,486 --> 00:56:50,416
in my late 40s, so I don't know

1746
00:56:50,606 --> 00:56:54,267

me since I was 16, so.

you just do what works and trust yourself.

1749
00:56:54,752 --> 00:56:55,319
And then if it didn't work that
time, you felt so bad about it,

1750
00:56:55,319 --> 00:56:55,561
you'd just go try something else.

go try something else.

1756
00:57:06,376 --> 00:57:10,381
And honestly, a lot of times, a lot of
times for me marking the seasons is just

1757
00:57:10,406 --> 00:57:15,626
making myself a cup of tea with herbs that
just feel more aligned with this season.

1758
00:57:16,336 --> 00:57:20,406
Like for the summertime, I'd never done
like a sun tea before, which is where

1759
00:57:20,406 --> 00:57:23,026
you put the tea in the jar and then
you will sit it in the sun to steep.

1760
00:57:23,536 --> 00:57:24,246
And I'm so excited.

1761
00:57:24,246 --> 00:57:25,226
That's the only thing I did that day.

1762
00:57:25,226 --> 00:57:26,466

thing out in the morning and
then that afternoon I like out

1772
00:57:29,006 --> 00:57:30,776
of the ice and I had my sun tea.

1773
00:57:31,376 --> 00:57:36,086

it's the longest day of the year and the

like time or resources or, know, or

I don't know how to create a ritual.

1785
00:58:09,963 --> 00:58:10,044

summer solstice and notice the long day.

o 'clock on Monday my alarm goes off

just stop and I take three breaths

social media is just because I've

1848
00:59:36,636 --> 00:59:41,166
been doing a lot of internal stuff
and not feeling so out there, but I'm,

books and they're all in paperback now.

1852
00:59:48,766 --> 00:59:53,166
So last month, the fourth one
came out in paperback and the

1853
00:59:53,176 --> 00:59:54,667
last three, they're a series.

1854
00:59:54,726 --> 00:59:55,936

Amanda B Norr [59:44.111]

1858
00:59:56,616 --> 01:00:00,396
but there's some links to some
other podcasts I've done, some other

1859

1860
01:00:01,466 --> 01:00:03,076
I will link Courtney on there too.

1861
01:00:03,946 --> 01:00:06,636

group that's Moonwork with

1863
01:00:08,436 --> 01:00:12,306
It's kind of quiet, but I try to
post things and ask questions there.

1864
01:00:12,786 --> 01:00:15,796
And then my services and
everything are linked on.

1865
01:00:16,746 --> 01:00:17,806
And so I'm still building.

1866
01:00:17,806 --> 01:00:22,006
I'm still growing as a business
person and so still having to do

1867
01:00:22,586 --> 01:00:24,686
real life, not so fun stuff, but

1868
01:00:25,046 --> 01:00:26,426
Yeah, yeah.

1869
01:00:27,066 --> 01:00:30,126
If you're anything like me, those of
us who are like in the mystical world,

1870
01:00:30,136 --> 01:00:32,306
the business stuff is the hardest part.

healing world and you're doing your own

1874
01:00:37,046 --> 01:00:40,526
healing, like trying to be out there
to be like, I got to post this thing

1875
01:00:40,526 --> 01:00:41,746
and I got to show up at that thing.

1876
01:00:41,746 --> 01:00:43,366
Like it's just like, I don't have

1877
01:00:43,368 --> 01:00:43,380

1878
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:43,557

1883

So right, because I'm working on my
fifth book, which is Lunar Magic, and I

01:00:58,196 --> 01:00:58,326
it's

1888
01:00:58,346 --> 01:00:58,986
I'm ready.

1889
01:00:59,286 --> 01:01:01,196
This is the really pretty, you

1890
01:01:01,496 --> 01:01:03,406
I saw the cover, that's so

1891
01:01:03,486 --> 01:01:05,006
so excited for the companion.

1892
01:01:05,006 --> 01:01:06,046
And this is my favorite.

1893
01:01:06,876 --> 01:01:09,726
It was like Christmas morning to
see it, because it's co -authored.

1894
01:01:09,726 --> 01:01:11,376
So there's 14 authors in it.

1895
01:01:12,196 --> 01:01:17,006
And we all have a different take, but
it's like a workbook and I use all of it.

1896
01:01:17,036 --> 01:01:20,356
And then when I go back and read my
chapter and I'm not really thinking

1897
01:01:20,356 --> 01:01:23,366
like these are my words, I will
cry and I would be like, my gosh.

1898
01:01:23,366 --> 01:01:24,556
And then I was like, I wrote that.

1899
01:01:25,046 --> 01:01:29,746
it's, I guess I really needed
this because it really.

And writing this one, it was magic.

1906
01:01:33,026 --> 01:01:36,876
It was like I was in the mood to write
or I wasn't in the mood to write.

1907
01:01:36,876 --> 01:01:40,206
But it always seemed like when I was
in the mood to write, the sky was the

1908
01:01:40,206 --> 01:01:41,756
same as what was going on the paper.

1909
01:01:41,756 --> 01:01:43,096
My feelings were processing.

1910
01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:43,798
It was just

1911
01:01:44,098 --> 01:01:44,276
series.

1912
01:01:44,276 --> 01:01:44,633
So it's

you couldn't have made a better journey.

1914
01:01:47,766 --> 01:01:48,536
It was crazy.

1915
01:01:48,986 --> 01:01:55,076
So and then my other three books, they're
a series called the Wounded Women series.

1916
01:01:55,466 --> 01:01:55,696
So it's

1917
01:01:55,700 --> 01:01:56,235
being, you know,

1918
01:01:56,276 --> 01:01:59,276

01:02:00,605 --> 01:02:00,695
Amanda B Norr [01:01:46.859]

1924
01:02:00,695 --> 01:02:02,406
So a chapter at a time and self -care.

1925
01:02:03,006 --> 01:02:04,276
The first one was betrayed.

1926
01:02:05,126 --> 01:02:10,506
And that one's like the synopsis, I guess
is like the sister wound of being, you

1927
01:02:10,506 --> 01:02:15,656
know, like, because in our society, in
our system, women get at each other,

1928
01:02:15,691 --> 01:02:16,584
then I'm like, well, cool.

1929
01:02:16,584 --> 01:02:16,762
I'm

1930
01:02:16,896 --> 01:02:17,996
like a pecking order

1931
01:02:18,012 --> 01:02:18,904
out how I need to

1932
01:02:19,204 --> 01:02:22,036
and there's a, can be a problem there.

1933
01:02:22,056 --> 01:02:25,926
And so it's overcoming that, whether
it's your own sister was written

1934
01:02:25,926 --> 01:02:27,606
in there, whether it's friends.

1939
01:02:28,826 --> 01:02:31,634
For me, it was hard to write
because it was just like

1940
01:02:31,934 --> 01:02:32,827
have my children, but would

1941
01:02:32,846 --> 01:02:34,546

1944
01:02:36,006 --> 01:02:40,366
my mother figures, not necessarily
my mother, but women being

1945
01:02:40,686 --> 01:02:42,879

This is the path to follow and
then doing that to my own daughter

1949
01:02:47,226 --> 01:02:51,076
and then my daughter breaking free
and then I'm like, well, cool.

babies, you do this for your husband.

If, you know, you can have your own things
as long as it doesn't interfere with him.

1958
01:03:08,686 --> 01:03:10,726

learning how to be a partner.

And I still love my children.

would I have had them at 18 and 20?

wound.

1983
01:03:37,216 --> 01:03:38,496
feel like I have like the

1984
01:03:38,536 --> 01:03:40,676
I was like, well, that's hard
for me because I still feel

like I have like the best mom.

so there's that.

2000
01:04:02,456 --> 01:04:07,546

generational pass down of worrying.

2001
01:04:07,556 --> 01:04:09,846
Like my great grandma, they're
like worried about everything.

2002

My grandma worried about a lot of
things, but less things than her mom.

And my mom worried about even a lot
of things, but less than her mom.

2004
01:04:15,966 --> 01:04:19,556
And then I came and I'm like,
how can I worry about less and

2005
01:04:19,556 --> 01:04:21,296
pass on less to my daughter?

2013
01:04:29,396 --> 01:04:33,656
keeping what worked to share with my
kids about our family traditions but

2014
01:04:33,666 --> 01:04:35,964
being able to let go and make new ones.

2015
01:04:36,196 --> 01:04:40,616
So that's that was what I wrote about in
that book and I wrote this amazing poem

2016
01:04:40,616 --> 01:04:45,676
in there that everybody really liked like
I'll brag about a little and it and he'd

2017
01:04:45,676 --> 01:04:49,986
written it actually a couple years before
because it felt when I wrote it like my

2018
01:04:50,656 --> 01:04:53,576
ancestors were singing this song to me

2019
01:04:53,876 --> 01:04:54,065

2020
01:04:54,366 --> 01:04:54,916
Yes.

2021
01:04:55,216 --> 01:04:55,826
to go in there.

2022
01:04:55,881 --> 01:04:56,516
to go in there.

2023
01:04:56,516 --> 01:04:57,152
And then the third

2024
01:04:57,306 --> 01:04:58,759
And then the third book is burned.

2025
01:04:58,906 --> 01:04:58,926
it

2026
01:04:59,059 --> 01:04:59,694
about the witch wound.

2027
01:04:59,694 --> 01:05:00,806
I'll just read that it's brave and

2028
01:05:00,826 --> 01:05:04,376
initially and initially in the subtitle,
it talked about the witch wound.

2029
01:05:04,461 --> 01:05:04,620
wound.

2030
01:05:04,620 --> 01:05:05,256
And I actually am

2031
01:05:05,386 --> 01:05:07,946
I'll just read that it's brave and
inspiring stories from women who

2032
01:05:07,946 --> 01:05:10,986
have overcome their fears to speak
their truth and share their wisdom.

still the witch wound.

2037
01:05:14,156 --> 01:05:18,776
And I actually am chapter one in that
because again, I wrote another poem

2038
01:05:18,776 --> 01:05:21,766
because just the concept of the book and
I wasn't going to contribute to this one.

2039
01:05:21,766 --> 01:05:22,796
I was just going to do the other two.

2040

Amanda B Norr [01:05:12.537]

2044
01:05:25,036 --> 01:05:28,126
the processing and I had written
this poem and I sent it to my

2045
01:05:28,136 --> 01:05:31,910
friend and she's one publishing
it and she's like, we want that.

to be.

2049
01:05:34,246 --> 01:05:37,166
And so then they made that chapter one
and then I put a little bit of like

2050
01:05:37,166 --> 01:05:42,066
a prose narrative with still what I'm
struggling because I still find myself

2051
01:05:42,086 --> 01:05:49,716
in certain groups where I can't speak out
fully as myself because it doesn't fit

2052
01:05:49,856 --> 01:05:52,996
with their narrative of society and that

2053
01:05:53,046 --> 01:05:53,719
women and killing women for being witches.

2054
01:05:53,719 --> 01:05:54,295

honestly, like there's like countries

still now that are burning women
and killing women for being witches.

01:09:52,896 --> 01:09:52,902
Perfect.

2178
01:09:52,902 --> 01:09:52,936
Just going to visualize it and...

Amanda B Norr [01:09:40.515]

2182
01:09:53,016 --> 01:09:56,376
you know, new book coming out just so
you're aware or, you know, whatever.

2183
01:09:56,376 --> 01:09:58,366
So but I don't do that that super often.

2184
01:09:59,036 --> 01:10:02,376
And I'm where it's been in
my works and in my brain.

2185
01:10:02,386 --> 01:10:06,136
I want to put together a program that
really utilizes the quarter moons because

2186
01:10:06,136 --> 01:10:09,686
that's where all the tension lies.

2187
01:10:10,676 --> 01:10:11,216
Yeah.

2188
01:10:11,586 --> 01:10:11,876
it's

2189
01:10:12,656 --> 01:10:14,176
Often gets overlooked too,

2190
01:10:14,216 --> 01:10:14,656
I got it.

2191
01:10:14,656 --> 01:10:19,186
I got to get back into the lunar magic
to get that book done, because I'm

2192
01:10:19,186 --> 01:10:20,851
not even sure what I'm writing about.

2193
01:10:21,046 --> 01:10:21,666
It's it's.

Yeah.

2199
01:10:21,872 --> 01:10:21,929
Often gets overlooked too, right?

2200

Amanda B Norr [01:10:09.473]

2201
01:10:21,986 --> 01:10:27,286
It's about using the moon and having
magic daily, which for some people

2202
01:10:27,286 --> 01:10:28,366
that gets really overwhelming.

2203
01:10:28,366 --> 01:10:29,636
And so it's like simple things.

2204
01:10:29,946 --> 01:10:30,226

2210
01:10:34,453 --> 01:10:34,674
I

2211
01:10:34,726 --> 01:10:35,976
I think that's perfect.

2212
01:10:35,986 --> 01:10:36,776
I think that's great.

2213
01:10:36,776 --> 01:10:42,206
And thank you so much for all that work
that you do and putting those books into

2214
01:10:42,246 --> 01:10:44,316
being, helping to get those stories out.

2215
01:10:44,326 --> 01:10:46,176
Those stories of those women are powerful.

2216
01:10:46,556 --> 01:10:48,646
I've read quite a lot of it myself and

2217
01:10:48,801 --> 01:10:49,684
cohesiveness or the, know,

2218
01:10:49,776 --> 01:10:52,276
love the just

2219
01:10:52,333 --> 01:10:53,166
those themes are universal.

2220
01:10:53,216 --> 01:10:53,437
Like

2221
01:10:53,466 --> 01:10:55,124
the collaboration and the

2222
01:10:55,424 --> 01:10:56,307
awareness of in this

2223
01:10:56,436 --> 01:10:57,246
what's the word I'm looking for?

2224
01:10:57,331 --> 01:10:57,626
Just

2225
01:10:57,631 --> 01:11:00,059
And, you know, we're connected to
our ancestors who've been through

2226
01:11:00,059 --> 01:11:00,942
those experiences and cycles.

2227
01:11:01,242 --> 01:11:05,231
cohesiveness or the, know,
we're all individual.

2228
01:11:05,716 --> 01:11:11,296
have such individual stories, but at the
same time, those themes are universal.

2229
01:11:11,346 --> 01:11:15,219
Like it's not something that
we're just now getting to

2230
01:11:15,326 --> 01:11:16,936
awareness of in this generation.

2231
01:11:16,936 --> 01:11:18,496
It's something that has happened.

2232
01:11:18,556 --> 01:11:23,956
And, you know, we're connected to
our ancestors who've been through

2233
01:11:23,956 --> 01:11:26,436
those experiences and cycles.

2234
01:11:26,496 --> 01:11:31,436
I like this format with the books,
because I write a chapter, which means

2235
01:11:31,436 --> 01:11:35,706
a lot to me, but and a lot of, and I
get a lot of great feedback from that,

2236
01:11:35,716 --> 01:11:39,546
but I get to read everybody else's
story and then we'll get together and

2237
01:11:39,546 --> 01:11:41,046
have like author calls and communicate.

2238
01:11:41,046 --> 01:11:45,656
And it's just like, we're all just there
holding each other and lifting each other.

2239
01:11:45,726 --> 01:11:48,676
And it's, it's just, it's,
it's a very amazing experience.

I love it.

2242
01:11:48,676 --> 01:11:48,677
Maybe someday if I ever get around
to writing that book that I've

2243
01:11:48,677 --> 01:11:48,677
got stewing around in my head.

2244
01:11:48,677 --> 01:11:48,677
But that sounds like an amazing
experience to be able to write that way.

2245
01:11:48,677 --> 01:11:48,678
speaking of Full Moon, I do have
my Full Moon Healing Through Art

2246
01:11:48,678 --> 01:11:48,678
course is starting in October.

2247
01:11:48,678 --> 01:11:48,678
So anyone listening now who's local in
the South Jordan area wants to join.

2248
01:11:48,678 --> 01:11:48,679
I'm only opening six spots, but
I would like what I've planned

2249
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:48,679
to do with that course is to have

2250
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:48,679
at least an online group
supporting each other during the

2251
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:48,679
quarter moon phases of the month.

2252
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:48,680
And I like to partner that
with the Avalonian moon cycles.

2253

that we know about so, so well.

2255
01:11:48,681 --> 01:11:48,681
I kind of took these resources and
I pulled them together and I said,

2256
01:11:48,681 --> 01:11:48,682
why don't we do an emotional process
every month around the full moon?

2257
01:11:48,682 --> 01:11:48,682
It's usually a couple of days before.

2258
01:11:48,682 --> 01:11:48,683
But it's like, we're gonna do that
to kind of set ourselves up for

2259
01:11:48,683 --> 01:11:48,684
the month and how we can support
each other through the month.

2260
01:11:48,684 --> 01:11:48,684
So if anyone's interested in
that, look for me on my website.
