๐โจ Oh, What a Beautiful Night Beneath the Full Moon Goddess! โจ๐๐
Y'all, my heart is so FULL this morning! And not just because of that beautiful Full Moon Goddess who graced us with her presence last night! ๐
Last night's Full Moon Gathering at The Spiritual Loft 11 & Apothecary was one of those evenings that reminds me exactly WHY I do what I do. And goodness, how far we've come! ๐
We had some familiar faces who have been gathering beneath the Moon with me since our VERY FIRST Full Moon Gathering back in 2022, at TSL11's original location in Tyler! Folks who walked through my doorway as acquaintances and somewhere along the way became FAMILY. My TRIBE.
My PEOPLE. ๐ฅน And we welcomed a beautiful new soul into our little circle last night! I sure hope this is just the first of many evenings we'll share together!
Now, y'all know I can't have a gathering without feeding somebody, so I whipped up a big ol' pot of my famous homemade vegetable soup, served with toast, and we had fresh apple c***r filled with delicious seasonal fruits! ๐๐๐ฅฃ There was laughter, conversation, friendship, good food, FIRE, and a beautiful alignment ritual beneath the watchful glow of our Full Moon Goddess!
And in true Windi fashion, did I remember to take pictures of all these beautiful people? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! ๐คฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
But I DID manage to snap a quick picture of our Honorary Goddess herself! And although the clouds decided to invite themselves to our gathering, they couldn't dim her light one bit!
Funny how that works, isn't it? Sometimes life throws a few clouds across our skies, but that doesn't mean our light has gone anywhere. ๐ And that brings me to something I really want to say this morning.
To MY TRIBE...
From the souls who have known me for years to the ones whose paths have only recently crossed mine, I want you to know something. YOU are the magick of The Spiritual Loft 11. Not the herbs. Not the candles. Not the rituals. Not even that gorgeous Full Moon hanging over our heads. YOU!!! I know your stories. I know about your accomplishments and your struggles. Your love stories, your heartbreaks, your victories, and sometimes your unimaginable losses. I've celebrated with you. I've cried with you. I've laughed until our bellies hurt with you. I've listened to the things you couldn't say anywhere else, and I've held space for the emotions you weren't quite ready to share with the rest of the world. And somewhere in all those conversations, tears, hugs, and belly laughs, each of you carved out your own little place in my heart. And Yall, those places are PERMANENT! ๐ I don't take your trust lightly. Not for one single second.
Thank you for supporting my apothecary and the dreams I've poured into it. But more than anything, thank you for trusting ME. Thank you for allowing me to know the parts of you that the rest of the world doesn't always get to see. Thank you for allowing me to create a space where you can simply BE. No pretending. No judgment. No expectations to be anything other than exactly who you are. And thank you for loving me right back. Because believe me, I FEEL IT! ๐ฅน๐
To those of you who have been watching from the sidelines, a little curious, maybe even a little cautious... I innerstand. I really do. But let me tell you something about this little place I've built. You don't have to know a thing about Moon rituals. You don't have to believe what I believe. You don't have to have your life figured out, your heart completely healed, or your ducks in a row. Hell, most of us don't even know where our ducks ARE half the time! ๐คฃ๐ฆ
Just come as YOU. Bring your curiosity, your laughter, your questions, your heavy heart, or your beautiful messy self.
There will ALWAYS be open arms, a welcoming heart, and room for another soul at TSL11. That's my promise. ๐
Our Full Moon Gatherings are officially BACK every month until that rude ol' Winter decides to show up around February and freeze our happy little asses off! ๐โ๏ธ Then we'll let our gatherings slumber until Spring calls us back outside beneath the Moon. But until then, we've got more fires to gather around, more stories to tell, more laughter to share, and more magick to make!
I love the Moon. I love the rituals. I love the fire, the herbs, and every bit of the beautiful energy that comes with these gatherings.
But the Moon has never been my reason for gathering.
YOU ARE!!! ๐ซถ๐ฝโจ๏ธ
My People. My Tribe. My beautiful collection of wonderfully unique souls who have somehow found their way into my life and made it all the richer. I couldn't have handpicked better folks if I'd tried!
And if nobody has told you lately just how special you are, let me be the one to remind you. You are seen. You are valued. You are loved. You BELONG. ๐
From the deepest, most grateful corners of this big ol' heart of mine, THANK YOU for another beautiful evening, for your trust, for your friendship, and for being part of this magickal little thing we've created together. I love each and every one of you SO VERY MUCH! Until we gather beneath our beautiful Goddess again... keep shining, even when the clouds roll in. ๐โจ
With ALL my Love, a little Fire, and a whole lotta Magick, Big Hugs and HUGE Love,
