For the third year, my daughters and I have performed a 'vision seeding ritual' to effectively plant our seeds or wishes and send them out to the universe. We like to call it our 3 wishes ceremony. I took the idea from a book called Moon Mother Moon Daughter, which I highly recommend to anyone with coming of age daughters. The book suggests ways to reconnect our daughters to the lunar cycle and goddess myths that have been lost in our consumer culture. It celebrates the girls' approaching womanhood and focuses on a community of women.

Vision Seeding Ritual
I'm reposting this from a myspace blog I wrote before I had this blog. I referenced this ceremony in my Recap of 2009/Wishes for 2010 blog but failed to go into detail, so here it is. I'm beginning to see a trend in my wishes....

OMG Leo, do you remember that you actually first did that ceremony w/me and D? I remember because I was hoping you would remember to take them out of the bag before doing the ceremony w/your kids b/c all of mine were dirty! That was at the end of 2005, omg, so long ago. It was during the same week as "mancakes" - oh, the memories!
I really love this ceremony and think it's awesome that your girls have come to love it too. And I remember when you first got that book, and I just think it's so cool that you are still using it and drawing from it.
One idea is that things are still really formative at this point in the year, and that when Candlemas/Imbolc rolls around, it can be a really good time to really put specific visioning around any wishes. It's a good time to get specific, and maybe put shape and image to the essences.
I am kind of all about manifesting this year.
Yes, I remember that first ceremony very well, and "mancakes", lol. That was a hysterical time!
I feel pretty strongly about this year too, not exactly that this will necessarily be a great year, but I feel prepared, which will make whatever comes my way easier to handle.
I've been exercising, I've been reading this book that I want to blog about, and I've been thinking a lot about defining what it is I want. I'm making plans, and I feel on top of things. I even have an appt. for a free massage next week!
