September - Mother Earth, the First Womb...

"Before there was breath, there was soil. Before there was language, there was wind. Before there was mother, there was Earth."

She is the first mother.

She holds us without judgment, nourishes us without condition, and listens without words. Her rivers are veins, her forests are lungs, her mountains are bones. We walk upon her body every day, often forgetting that we are her children.

In honoring her, we honor the divine womb—the place of origin, of transformation, of return.

Reflection

• Ritual Suggestion: “Grounding in Gratitude”

• Go outside barefoot, if possible.

• Place your hands on the earth or a tree.

• Whisper a thank-you: for breath, for food, for shelter, for life.

• Offer something small: a flower, a song, a tear.

Aftercare Reflection: Returning to the Womb of the World

After honoring Mother Earth as the first womb, let us pause and breathe in her presence. She is not just soil and sky—she is origin. She is memory. She is the quiet pulse beneath our feet reminding us: you belong.

In every leaf, there is a whisper of birth. In every tide, a rhythm of breath. She holds the stories of our ancestors, the tears of our grief, and the seeds of our becoming. To walk upon her is to walk upon the body of the divine.

This moment is for gratitude—not just for what she gives, but for what she teaches:

• Resilience in the face of storms

• Cycles of death and rebirth

• Stillness in the sacred pause

• Transformation through pressure and time

Let her symbolism guide your healing:

• The mountains remind us of strength.

• The rivers teach us to flow.

• The roots show us how to stay connected.

• The womb of the Earth reminds us that creation is sacred—even when invisible.

Gentle Aftercare Practice

• Wrap yourself in a soft blanket or shawl—imagine it as the embrace of the Earth.

• Place your hands over your heart or womb space.

• Whisper: “I am held. I am safe. I am sacred.”

• Drink something warm and grounding—herbal tea, cacao, or simply water with intention.

Journaling Prompts

1. “In what ways do I feel held or nurtured by nature?”

2. “What part of the Earth do I feel most connected to—water, stone, wind, fire?”

3. “If I could speak to Mother Earth directly, whatwould I say?”

Affirmation

"I am a child of the Earth. I am rooted, I am nourished, I am sacred."

As we walk through this year in devotion to the sacred feminine, let this first offering be a reminder: we are never separate from the source. Mother Earth is not just beneath us—she is within us. Her rhythms echo in our breath, her wisdom flows through our veins, and her silence teaches us to listen.

• To honor her is to honor the womb of all creation.

• To thank her is to thank the mothers, the healers, the dreamers, and the broken-hearted who still choose to love.

• Let this be a year of remembering, of softening, of sacred protection.

Prayer to the First Mother

O Great Mother, womb of the world,

You who cradle oceans and whisper through trees,

We come to you with open hearts and bare feet.

Bless those who carry life, and those who long to.

Hold close the ones who grieve, who ache, who wait.

Wrap your roots around our pain and turn it into bloom.

Teach us to be gentle with ourselves, and fierce in our love.

May we walk with reverence, speak with gratitude, and live as your children—

Sacred, wild, and whole.

Aho. Amen. Ashe. So it is.
