A Year of Goddess Magic January Practice Update (#30DaysofGoddess)
A Year of Goddess Magic begins with stepping into a month of new Beginnings
Begin...
Happy New Year! Welcome to January and the start of our sixth year of #30DaysofGoddess! If you’d like to hear the seeds of how this practice began, make sure to check out the original audio and original companion printables here.
Key practice updates!
We are simplifying and streamlining our practices this year. Instead of a new video to kick off the month that is pre-recorded and published on YouTube, we’re doing LIVE community gatherings on Patreon at the beginning of each month. January’s live community activation will take place on January 12th at 3:00 central time. Replays will then be posted later. Note: this is a really low pressure way to participate in a virtual event since I’m the only person on camera, everyone else participates via chat.
Our primary enhancements to this year’s practice are the new Book of Magic Days resources that I’m offering on the Goddess Magic Patreon. The full set of January’s additions are FREE and ready for you there now!
Practice updates for this year will be delivered via this newsletter and in the Goddess Magic community. The website will remain a “library” of past resources rather than being updated monthly.
Our prompt words for 2026 are new, but you are welcome to use any prior year’s lists. Also note that the printed books on Lulu still contain prior word lists, so you’ll have to print a new list and glue over the front page if you are using those books this year.
Reminder: the main home page for the #30DaysofGoddess practice with all the past resources to support it is here. You can use anything from any month from any year to mix-and-match a simple daily practice that fits your life.
Free practice resources are right here below as downloadable files:
May you breathe deep
and let peace fill you.
May you exhale long and slow
and let memory inform you.
May you lay a hand
against your heart
and let gratitude suffuse you.
May you lift your hands to the sky
and make a promise
you will keep.
Paid subscribers: a 2026 Goddess Wheel of the Year booklet and card set is included for you at the very end of this newsletter.
Welcome to January's #30DaysofGoddess practice!
Reminder: The Goddess Magic community on Patreon offers a daily experience in seasonal magic, living your magic, and everyday enchantment. Our devotional rhythm there includes additions/resources for #30DaysofGoddess several days of the week all year long.
The theme for #30DaysofGoddess this month is Begin. Everything you need for January's practice is included for you right in this newsletter. For past resources, you are also welcome to check out the practice homepage: #30DaysofGoddess.

The Power of Daily Practice...
May we savor the gift
of being here,
breath warm in our bellies,
hearts gentle in our chests,
creativity a nourishing fire
in our eyes and hands.
May we remember
our lives are our prayers.
May we live them well and wisely.
In daily practice we find that the everyday and the sacred are inextricable companions. Daily practice is a soft place to land, a place of regular homecoming and belonging. It offers us the chance to enter into the union of sacred sameness and infinite experiencing. In daily practice, we drop back into the present, into our own lives/centers, into the steady pulse of the sacred in every day. And, even if we can only fit a few minutes of practice, connection, and contemplation into our daily lives, it is still a life-changing magic.
"...Ease into your [year] a moment at a time
let time slip into the cracks of your soul
and let stillness
breathe tenderness and calm
into your heart."
—Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg
Reminder: Simple and Sacred
This virtual circle is usually offered live monthly on the second Friday of the month. In January, our schedule is slightly different and will take place on Zoom on January 23rd instead. January’s Circle will have a New Year and New Beginnings theme. A calendar of our events for the year is included below.
Live circles are open to anyone on the #30DaysofGoddess newsletter list (that’s you!), replays are available for the Patreon community only. You will get an access link via email for the Zoom room one hour before we begin.
Thanks for being here!
It is a time to run your hands
over what you've created
and what you've done
with appreciation
and with acceptance,
a time to honor your commitments,
to celebrate your successes,
to release your disappointments.
A time to say:
this is good,
this is enough,
and to sit back smiling,
satisfied with what you hold.
It is a time to trust the liminal
and to savor the pause.
Soon enough,
you'll be invited to step forward
across the threshold
into a new year
and all its possibilities.
For now, we wait.
We listen.
We wonder.
We are content.
Much love,
Molly
