Dear Ones,
Our first Full Moon of the year has arrived, marking the half way point in the current moon cycle.
As the moon casts her peak light, illuminating the night’s sky, it feels as if she is calling for pause.
It feels as though she is saying – stop! look up!
And if we are wise,
look up, we do.
Eyes wide, mouth open,
We drink in the mystery,
the miracle of this bold expression.
Each and every time we look to the moon, it is an invitation to allow a moon’s eye view. Somehow the moon stays close to the earth – constant in her orbit, all while enjoying a big picture – cosmic perspective.
This close to the earth, big picture view point, is such a helpful symbol in understanding our theme of the cycle: Mastery. To attempt mastery is to show up every day, doing your best, while playing the long game, seeing the big picture. ah!
The moon just never gets old, does it?
Today is a great one to shine a little light on the intention you created at New Moon time. That is, actively remember and realign with it.
There are so many ways to do this – journal, sit with eyes closed, make art, dance, go for a walk – all as means of Remembering. We have some music for you, should you want a soundtrack!
The Circle Leaders of The Wild Woman Project have come together to make a playlist for you.
These are songs of about the stuff of Mastery – going for it, overcoming resistance and obstacles, following your dreams and heart, persevering, daring, showing up.
We are a international group of self-identifying wild women, so calling our playlist eclectic is, naturally, an understatement. You will find many forms of expression, from hip-hop to country to soul music, and on. I recommend listening to it in a Divinatory way, by clicking shuffle, and seeing where it takes you!

Chris Maddox is the founder of The Wild Woman Project where she teaches women how to utilize the gifts of the Wild Woman Archetype in their everyday lives & how to lead women’s circles in their local communities. She is the organizer & facilitator of the beloved annual WILD WOMAN FEST, a women’s retreat-festival hybrid which fosters a deep connection to nature, a direct experience of the divine feminine & profound spiritual sisterhood among the women in attendance.
An ever student of the great mysteries of existence and nature itself, Chris believes women are holding innate gifts & tools that society at large needs – now more than ever. She is committed to helping women remember their special magic and to bring it forward into every corner of their lives, for the greater good of the planet.
