Perfect post Maia and very timely for me today, the day of the Aquarius new moon. I loved your thought about finding a counterbalance. It's been a rough week+ for me with all the external chaos and getting sucked down into the future rabbit hole of what might directly impact my life and future plans. Think I'll take on enchantment as my counterweight as well.
Absolutely love this — working with cycles and seasons has been such nourishing medicine for me. When my energy dips or I start feeling unwell, my brain gets extremely dramatic and believes I'll feel terrible forever. It's wild! But the more I remember I am seasonal the more I remember this too shall pass and I'll feel differently soon. And of course, that enchantment will come again! Thank you for your beautiful words.
In a world where even magic seems to get sold as a quick fix, this was a balm to my soul that I can barely describe. Thank you, Maia.
PS I love the bedrock image. I was on a webinar the other day in which Prentis Hemphill said something like “when the ground beneath us becomes unsteady, how do we become the ground?” So it’s in the air! And this feels like an offer of answering that how, at least one way. 🙏🏻
Yes, yes, yes…. In a world where everything becomes a commodity, figuring out what has true value— what can support you— is that much more vital and difficult
YES to you and Steph Jagger and the new substack topic. I'm in! And my word for 2025 is Enchantment, b/c I also need a counterweight to all the mayhem happening out there.
I like the cyclicality. The option to keep helping myself find the right patterns and routines, to let go and to call in. And! I've always just loved following the phases of the moon, and thinking about her watching over me and helping me find my path through life. ✨✨
Are you writing a Substack on writing a novel to procrastinate from writing the novel? lol
Ha! Nope, I'm not that crafty. I'm actually using it for accountability and sharing my pages in progress with subscribers.
Thank you for your reminder to find wonder and joy.

Ummm, isn't today January 28th or did I somehow lose a month in the craziness I'm living in right now?? 😀
OMG-- you are obviously doing better with tracking time than either me or my assistant who proof read this!🤦🏻♀️
Not really, it's just that my oldest son's b'day is Feb 28th so, if you were right, I had missed his birthday. 🤣

YES! Come join us! We are soooo excited for this new project.
And enchantment is the perfect word for 2025....we are going to need it in spades.
Thank you for expressing how I feel these days. I find I’ve slipped in my magic making, and I appreciate the reminder that we can always start again.
Right? It's all a wheel... and going fallow and still is a part of the cycle.
I love this Maia!
Thanks, Kate! xx

I love that protective aspect, Lis. I've never had that sense... but I might just try to cultivate it. xx
This is a great reminder, for me to pause and find the magic.
Thank you 😊
I think we all need to find the magic right now... life needs a bit of sparkle.
