So, we’ve met the six goddesses that have all stepped forward to help hold and guide the next round of the Practical Magic Business Circle – Hecate, Sheila-Na-Gig, Shakti , Gaia, Amaterasu  and Sekhmet. A phenomenally powerful gathering, I cannot even tell you how in awe I am of the energies that are at play already. And the circle has not even opened yet! But, the story of the visualisation has not quite finished yet. Here’s what happened next… I sit for a moment or two, my hood still over my head, my feather still held lightly in my hands, and ask myself the question, “Am I ready? Am I ready to hold this circle? Am…

Here we are! After sharing the other five goddesses of the Practical Magic Business Circle as they each appeared in my sacred cacao visualisation – Hecate, Sheila-Na-Gig, Shakti , Gaia and Amaterasu – we find ourselves ready to meet the sixth and final goddess… The sixth hooded figure picks up a long stick, as she stands and walks around the seated circle. She draws a perfect circle in the packed dirt around us, not saying one word, until she arrives back to her starting place. The circle now complete, she takes her seat once more, and then removes her hood. Her hair, her eyes, her skin are all bright gold. She is fiercely…

Our fifth goddess steps forward in this, the next instalment of my sacred cacao visualisation. And while she is the fifth shared here, she was actually the first to make her presence known to me when I knew I was going to open up the Practical Magic Business Circle for another round… Amaterasu is next. The Japanese sun goddess lowers her hood, and we all instantly feel the sunlight mingling with the moonlight, as her rays dance with the moonbeams across our skin. Her straight black hair falls heavy down her back, and her flawless skin seems lit from within. It’s like light infuses her whole being. She is light.…

Continuing on from the previous instalments of my sacred cacao visualisation, during which we’ve already met the first 3 goddesses of the Practical Magic Business Circle – Hecate, Sheila-Na-Gig and Shakti – here, we meet the fourth… The fourth figure, removes her hood, and as she does so, I see that she is heavily pregnant. Her huge distended belly rests in the cradle of her pelvis, and a smile I can only describe as beautiful satisfaction lights the whole of her face. Her tawny eyes exactly match the locks of her cascading tawny hair – she is the very picture of full health. Glowing. Glossy. Radiant. She is Gaia… “I…

Another instalment of my sacred cacao visualisation. So far, we’ve met our first two goddesses for the next round of the Practical Magic Business Circle – Hecate and Sheila-Na-Gig. In this instalment, we meet our third…. As the third figure prepares to remove her hood, a breeze stirs the air around us, and the magpie feathers flutter in response. The medicine is moving… Shakti, for it is she, slides the hood down over her long glossy dark hair, until the fabric lays pooled around her shoulders. Her large black eyes hold a spark of fire dancing deep within their depths, and a smile which is not quite fully expressed moves…
