Today on the podcast I'm asking the question what is ritual, what is ceremony and how can we incorporate rites of passage in our daily life. 

Ritual is what we make of it

Tarot Cards mean what meaning we give them

Ceremony is the act of showing up in a way that feels good to you

Honoring and Reverence: come from acknowledging and giving thanks to the moment, people and things.

I have had desire for ceremony, for blessing my space, for opening the circle and having intentions about what I want to invoke in.

I have been pulled to make magical potions, search for medicinal plants in the wild, take mild altering herbs, pull tarot cards, make tinctures, and create my own medicine out of rocks and feathers and rose petals.

And as that desire came through I thought for one second that because I didn’t know much about these things that I needed to go find a book, buy someone’s formula or find someone to tell me how to do it.  What formula could I follow that would help me know these words better, ceremony, sacredness, honoring reverence, and who could tell me how to do them?

If your someone who has ever had an interest in doing a year long project this episode will hopefully provide you the inspiration to do one yourself.  If you asked me 2 years ago if I thought this was possible for me, I would have told you that I never follow through on long term projects and that I'm just not the type of person who completes these sorts of things. 

But I'm happy to say that I am just entering into my 11th Experiment and its been surprisingly more easy than I thought and also so much fun!  For this interview I had the creator of the 12 Experiments Sarah Natsumi Moore interview me on what its been like so far. 

If you want to follow along on my current experiment a month of walking you can follow me @creativitypluswellness on Instagram, or check out the blog www.maringhiga.com/blog to see what past experiments looked like.
