Dear Wild Ones,
What happens when you kick off the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Wood Snake with a potent lunar eclipse portal? A whole lotta shifting, thatâs what! Can you feel it? This eclipse season is stirring up something deepâunearthing what must fall away, whispering of what longs to rise. We are moving through the eternal Life-Death-Life cycle, the sacred rhythm of transformation that echoes through myths, seasons, and our very souls. 
Ancient Keys to Immortality
In The Immortality Key, discussed at our first Psychedelic Society Book Club last week, Brian Muraresku explores how ancient wisdom keepers (WOMEN!!!) sought and shared direct experiences of the divine through sacred ritesârites that mirrored the Life-Death-Life cycle. Death was never the end, but a passage. The mystery traditions remind us: to be fully alive, we must learn how to die before we dieâwhether thatâs shedding an old self, a limiting belief, a destructive pattern, or an identity weâve outgrown.
In Women Who Run With the Wolves, we learn that to truly live, we must embrace the necessary deathsâthe shedding, the surrender, the return to wild knowing. This cycle is so alive in us now, in the eclipseâs revelations, in the underworld descents before the rebirths. And it is alive in the bold steps so many of you are taking as you bring your deepest callings to life. 
The LunaEclipse Season: A Reckoning and a Resurrection
Eclipses are cosmic initiations, forcing us to see what weâd rather ignore. We are being asked:
-
What are you being shown in this time of revelation?
-
What must be surrendered?
-
What is demanding to be birthed?
If youâve been feeling untethered, electric, or suddenly clearâyouâre not alone. The veil is thin, and the psyche is speaking. This is prime time to sharpen your Symbolic Sightâto recognize the messages hidden in the mess, the patterns inside the chaos, and the mythic themes playing out in your own life.
Because letâs be real: We are all living archetypal stories. Just ask our girl The Little Mermaid- Not the Disney one, but the original Hans Christian Andersen mermaid, who sacrificed her voice (and her home, family and mobility!) for a love that didnât see her true form. Hers is a cautionary tale of losing touch with oneâs deep natureâa âfateâ that befalls many who refuse to allow the unconscious to rise to the surface.
