the joyful, earthy energy of may

endings. mystery. and darkness.

Happy Hallowtide [https://wildsoulcollective.substack.com/p/the-hallowtide-portal?utm_source=publication-search]. The magic of Samhain, Halloween, and All Saint’s Day is finally here. And it just so happens that, this year, the three days of Hallowtide fall on a weekend, giving deep portal vibes. We enter the weekend on All Hallow’s Eve with mischief and magic, move through celebration of the ending of the harvest with Samhain, and close the weekend with a remembrance of our beloved dead. And, then, we are invited into the deep, dark mood of November as we transition into winter. For this Hallowtide, I want to focus on three things: endings, mystery, and darkness. Join me as I share my thoughts on this potent, magical, mysterious three day period. It is a time to mark the shifting of the seasons, the passage of time, and necessity of death in the life-death-rebirth cycle. It is a chance to celebrate life, make a little mischief, embrace the grief of loss, start the preparations for winter, and remember that with every ending, there is a quiet, silent, dark, new beginning. Here’s to a Happy Halloween, a Blessed Samhain, and a Holy All Saint’s Day. May you be surrounded by love, warmth, magic, and wonder on this most sacred and hallowed weekend. xoxo. liz.

how to be an autumn girl and a spring lover at the same time

Hello, friend. How do we live slowly while also letting each day be fully lived? The age old battle of an autumn girl in the middle of spring - even when she’s loving and living spring much more deeply for a change. And, I think that this is exactly what I need to tend to as April slowly begins to wind down. Figuring out how to live in the energy of the season, while still being true to my moody, slow soul. Is there a way to hold space for both at the same time? Is there a way to be both an autumn soul and a spring lover? Let's explore all of this on the podcast today. "Solitude is not an absence of energy or action, as some believe, but is rather a boon of wild provisions transmitted to us from the soul. In ancient times, as recorded by physician-healers, religious and mystics, purposeful solitude was both palliative and preventative.” Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. xoxo. liz.

surrendering to the light half of the year

Hello, you. This spring feels different. Its as if the energy of spring had taken over my body and I have just surrendered to it all, letting it all just rise up from within me and bubble over into my life. Surrendering to the dark comes easy to me. It feels like coming home, settling down, and anchoring myself deep into my soul, my ancestors, and the earth. So, the darker half of the year suits my soul and will always be my home. But, this spring I'm surrendering to the light half of the year. I'm filled with all of this boundless energy of life and I feel called to reinvent myself and so much of my life. And the changes that I am feeling now, the new beginnings that are sprouting in my life, are giving me all the vibes of a rebirth, a reset, a restart. So, I am taking a bit of action when it comes to the Wild Soul Collective. For the foreseeable future (or perhaps until autumn when my energy turns inward and downward again), I want to move these weekly letters of seasonal energy, oracle card guidance, and podcasting to two times a month. One on the 1st day of each month and one at the midpoint of each month. What are you feeling as April unfolds? How are you experiencing the energy of this month? Are you connecting with the feeling of a new beginning or a rebirth? If so, what is being reborn in your life? What is coming alive within you? Until next time, my friend, get out there and soak in life this spring. Love and light to you. xoxo. liz. Hi! If you are new here, I’m Liz. I wish you a warm welcome to the Wild Soul Collective.

living my best romantic life

Hello, you. It’s Monday evening. And I am speaking to you during the last few hours of March. This week, I encourage us all to welcome the soft, gentle, rising energy of April by getting busy. Let’s rise up from our dreams. And start to make plans of how we can achieve them. It’s time to take all of our ideas of how we wish our life to be and put them into action. It’s time to trust in the wisdom we received during the winter and use it to create the life we are meant to live. We don’t need to just wish for romance and magic, we can make it real - right in the middle of our everyday life. So, welcome. Let’s spend a few moments together in community, even though we are meeting in different places and at different times. Wherever you are, I hope you are feeling a sense of peace and calm, at least right now. xoxo. liz. ❍↟☽ This is a public episode.
