The Intuitive Mare

One of the things I love bringing into this Wildmare podcast is a moment to notice what's happening outside in nature, because I firmly believe it can help us understand a little bit more about ourselves.

We've spoken quite a bit about autumn over the last two episodes, and as we're still in the same season, I thought we'd explore something a little different today.

Something that's fascinated people for thousands of years.

The moon.

Its connection to nature, to our bodies as women, and perhaps even to our intuition.

Because, when you think about it, we're all part of the same natural world.

And I wonder just how much we've forgotten about that connection.

As we're recording this week, the moon is waxing, growing towards a full moon.

In spiritual traditions, the growing light can represent awareness, intentions, and the energy of something coming into being.

I've always found the moon fascinating.

particularly the connection women have felt with it for thousands of years.

Our bodies have their own cycles.

Our hormones change, our energy changes, and sometimes we feel wonderfully confident and connected, while other times we need to retreat and be quiet.

In Chinese medicine, the moon is often associated symbolically with yin, our quieter, more receptive energy.

And spiritually, many people see the different phases of the moon as an invitation to look at different parts of ourselves.

I love the idea that as the moon grows brighter, we also become more aware of what's happening within us.

Not because the moon necessarily controls how we feel, but because it gives us a beautiful opportunity to pause and listen.

And perhaps that's the connection to intuition.

learning to recognise our own rhythms rather than constantly fighting against them, which brings us rather beautifully to today's conversation about intuition.

And I'm really excited because it's a little milestone for the Wildmare.

I'm welcoming my very first guest.
