30 Days of Harvest - Day 5

Today's email features one of my favourite images of Joanna's Gaian Tarot - the Three of Earth
Three generation of women making potions and tinctures in the kitchen, 'building the house of the Goddess'.

The only time I've experienced this kind of communal activity is within the Anglican Church - here in the UK, in the US and in Africa - everyone sharing their skills and wisdom for a common goal. I deeply miss this kind of community, and it's what I've been searching for ever since I left the Church over a decade ago.

I've had glimpses of it online, but sadly not a sniff in the real world...

Where, oh where are the flesh-and-blood, goddess-loving people?? Are they all serving, practising, 'making medicine' in solitude??

  1. Claire, I have so much to say about this. So I will email you. Love the look of the Gaian tarot but yikes the Llewelyn version is sold out and the other kind is 247.00 way too much for me. So I downloaded the app which will have to do. I think its almost in our DNA this search for community. I long for it too.

    1. Looking forward to receiving your thoughts, Kate!
      Hopefully you can find a secondhand deck that's not a crazy price!!
