Year of the Dark Goddess: A Journey of Ritual, Renewal &
Description
A Journey of Ritual, Renewal & Rebirth
A guided journey of self-possession and healing through life’s difficult passages, with practical tools, including embodied rituals, writing prompts, seasonal self-care practices, and community creation.
The journey of the Dark Goddess is a natural part of any difficult rite of passage. These transitions are often thought of as negative, death of a loved one, job loss, home loss, chronic illness, divorce, but even so-called “happy” transitions, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement, can come with unexpected instability, grief, and a need for integration. In our culture, we may often feel like we should "move on" or "get back to normal." In studying myth, however, we come to understand that the purpose of challenging life transformations is not positive or negative. Year of the Dark Goddess provides an anchor and a roadmap for navigating the disorientation of life transformations and offers resources for embracing changes as initiation
Why We Carry It
It takes the descent seriously as a shape that repeats: loss, yes, but also the supposedly happy transitions that knock people sideways. The rituals are embodied rather than contemplative, which matters when thinking is the part that hurts.
Who It Is For
Anyone in the middle of a hard passage, and anyone who has come out the other side of one and does not feel put back together yet.
