Seeing, Imagining, Remembering

Dear Seer and Seeker of Beauty,

Today’s episode, published just after the full “snow moon”, 🌝 is an invitation to see the truth of what is in front of us.

Listen if:

👁 you’re interested in learning to draw ✍🏽👁 you crave a more balanced society ⚖️👁 your feminine spirit ever feels crushed 🔨

Then you get to decide what to shed. What beliefs are no longer serving you?

So go ahead and scroll back up to the top, hit the play button, have a listen, then let me know what you think.

With big love and a life-giving imagination 🤩,Pam

Episode Notes: I refer to and recommend two books in this episode. They are:1. Goddesses In Older Women: Archetypes in Women Over Fifty; [with this awesome second subtitle] Becoming a Juicy Crone, by Jean Shinoda Bolen2. The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future, by Riane Eisler

Fun Fact: Since I’m often recommending books to you, and I like to support indie book stores, I created an affiliate page on Bookshop.org. It currently has three book lists for your perusal, with the headings📚 For Artists and Aspiring Creatives📚 For Unpacking Patriarchy and Racism in the U.S.📚 Soulful, Witchy, and MysticalYes, I will receive maybe a dollar or some cents when you order from my affiliate link, so there’s that. But also, it was a super interesting and fun process to choose the books I most wanted you to know about, and to organize them into lists. My one rule for myself is that I have to have finished the book before I can add it to a list. (So The Chalice & the Blade is not there yet. I’m only 50 pages in.)Did You Know? Hey, did you know that you can listen to the Making Soul Podcast, and its predecessor, the Accidental Muralist Podcast, both on Apple Podcasts? It’s true! (I tried putting Making Soul on Spotify, but reached a dead end. Maybe someday…)

Did you also know that YOU could start a podcast, for free, without investing in fancy recording devices or knowing how to start a podcast, but simply because you have a yearning to share something with others? I can attest that this is also true. ✨
