Manifest Your Power and Purpose!
Become a Healing Agent for Humanity and Live the Life You Long For...
Tap into this ancient wisdom and create a lifestyle of depth, beauty, and freedom… begin your journey today.
We are living in unprecedented times. The world as we know it is changing before our eyes.
There is opportunity here. We can forge the future we long for where women are sovereign and empowered, where the Earth is revered, where this being alive is sacred.
Women have been relentlessly taught by insidious socio-cultural norms to be nice, quiet, and obedient. We have all been taught to go along with the program that disembodies and disconnects us on so many levels. We have endured systemic oppression, domination, and objectification for too long.
It is time to reclaim our own inner resources, our joy and wonder, and to come into our power and purpose in the name of the more just and joyous worlds we all know in our hearts is possible.
The Earth, our future generations, {we} need us now more than ever before. We need you just as you are. No need to have done "the work", we can do it now as we rise rooted together as we embark on this profoundly healing journey together reclaiming our ancestry and re-entangling ourselves with the more-than-human world.
There is another way – a way that is based in love rather than fear, wisdom rather than overwhelm, clarity rather than anxiety, self-compassion and discernment rather than judgement.
Perhaps to appreciate the wonders of being a woman living in these times of profound change.
Maybe, just maybe, there is a blessing in all this rather than just a curse.
For thousands of years, women have conducted their lives by being in intimate relationship with the elements of the Earth and with their own inner Divine Feminine wisdom.
We can reclaim it. Especially now, when our sanity, our lives, are at stake.
And you – dear Rising Woman – can learn how to do this too.

Plant Medicine and Ways of the Rising Woman
Plants are our ancestors. We share about a quarter of our DNA with the plant kingdom and our being alive depends upon their nourishment. Traditional cultures all over the Earth have a deeply interwoven and reciprocal relationship with the more-than-human world. Many thousands of ancient myths feature plants as central to the storylines and we know that many plants can have powerful effects on our consciousness. Our work as Rising Women is, in part, to be in right-relationship with the plant world, to evoke humility, care, and reverence for the other-than-human world. This is a practice in decolonization because our culture puts humans at the top of the food chain and relentlessly devalues the Earth and gives utter dominion over the more-than-human world which exploits Earth’s resources and functions to have humans feeling utterly disconnected from the relationship of reciprocity and reverence that is our human birthright. The good news is that we can reclaim our humble place in the fabric of this breathtakingly beautiful world and a foundation of the Ways of the Rising Woman is to foster that relationship.
The Plant Beings who arrived in the c0-creation of the Ways of the Rising Woman symbols are the oak, rosemary, bay, and mugwort. Their place in this work is significant so here are some details to inspire us to wonder about our relationship with these powerful plant beings:
Oak
/ Crann darach
Mugwort {or Cronewort}
/ Mongach meisce
Oaks have lived for over 35 million years and our human ancestor’s health and wellbeing have relied on them for their health and wellbeing. Their fruit {the acorn} has been a significant source of nourishment for humans. Groves of oaks have been considered sacred places filled with protection, mystery, and wonder. They have been celebrated, worshiped, and revered the world over. To the Rising Woman, the Oak represents community, celebration, protection, ancestry, and interconnectedness.
Mugwort is named after the lunar goddess, Artemis, and, like the moon, she invites us to travel with her from the material world into the otherworld. To the Rising Woman, the Bay represents food as medicine and evokes spiritual connection, living a life of sweetness and beauty, honoring our cycles, and kindling one's creativity, and imagination.
Rosemary
/ Marós
Rosemary is considered to be an being of the sun that empowers and encourages self-expression. Rosemary has properties that uplift the spirits and is known to be a protection from evil. All of which are essential ingredients to the Rising Woman as she steps into her power and voice, and unlocks her privilege.
Bay
/ Cran ba
We know the Bay mostly from the aromatic leaves that we steep in our ancestral soups but the bay nuts have also been celebrated for their awakening properties once roasted. Bays are elegant and medicinal. Find yourself near one after a downpour or come upon one during the flowering season of spring and you will be enveloped by glorious scents. Bays have been long-celebrated by indigenous peoples and the leaves were used to weave crowns as protector and annointer.
The Bone signifies Story of Place, Honoring our Ancestry, Truth, Authenticity, and Discernment
The Story
'Once upon a time, there was a girl who fell in love with the land and she was deeply concerned by how the land was being treated. The land told the girl that she needed to act swiftly as the land needed her help. She was told the land would lead her if she were only to stay deeply connected to her Soul. She needed to learn to listen closely as the paths ahead of her were often dark and twisted and she could lose her way if she wasn’t discerning. There always seemed to be forces ready to lead her astray. Yet her focus was resolute, her senses were attuned, and her love of the land was deep and enduring. In her darkest hours, the path before her was made clearer, she felt the stability of the ground beneath her every step and her connection to herself was strengthened. The land was solid and trustworthy, it was radiant and resilient, it was authentic and interwoven, it was humble and fierce. The land reflected back to her all the qualities and characteristics she needed for the journey. She was led to places of great beauty, magic, wonder, and wisdom. The land bestowed profound gifts and showed her the Ways of the Rising Woman.'
Look deep into nature,
and then you will understand everything better.
