A Year of Goddess Magic November Practice Update (#30DaysofGoddess)
stepping into our month of Descent
Descend...
Welcome to November! The theme for this month is Descend and the goddess we are honoring is Inanna.
Reminder: the main home page for the #30DaysofGoddess practice with all the resources to support it is here.
This month’s video is embedded directly above AND your free practice resources are right here below as downloadable files:
We learn to keep our practices
simple and sacred,
to allow both joy and ease
to find a place.
We witness without fixing.
We experience everyday awe
and commonplace miracles.
We discover that we can return home
over and over,
cross the threshold
back into our own hearts
with relief and delight.
We see that each moment of practice
holds meaning,
whether the moment
is golden or gloomy.
For we are here,
hands on our hearts
at the center of our own lives,
practicing the life-changing
magic of noticing.
Welcome to November's #30DaysofGoddess practice!

The Power of Daily Practice...
Each day,
we are invited to claim our power
and our magic,
to step with trust back
into the center of our own lives.
Each day,
we are invited to become sites
of our own liberation.
Each day,
a reclaiming.
Each day,
a renewal.
Each day,
an invitation to begin exactly
where we are.
Daily practice makes space for the sacred and for yourself in your own life. It is an invitation each day to begin again, to connect and to reconnect. It is an initiation into sacred sameness, the infinite alchemy of commitment and discovery.
Daily practice is how we strengthen the spirit, our connection to the sacred and to ourselves. It is how we come back home to center, how we inhabit our own lives with purpose, wholeness, and trust.
“Sabbath is more than the absence of work; it is not just a day off, when we catch up on television or errands. It is the presence of something that arises when we consecrate a period of time to listen to what is most deeply beautiful, nourishing, or true.” --Wayne Mueller
Practice Ideas from this Month’s Video
1. Daily Devotional Practice
Using The Great Between book for daily readings
Using our daily practice resources for #30DaysofGoddess
Journeying through the Return book in companion to the Inanna book
2. Reflective Practices
Taking deep breaths and descending into body wisdom
Journaling with questions like:
- How am I coming undone?
- What gifts am I taking with my descent?
- What am I hoping to learn in the darkness?
- Exploring self-sovereignty through “as if” questions
3. Community Practices
Monday community practice lives on Patreon
Working with the Inanna’s Ascent anthology
Exploring ritual recaps and ritual theory episodes based on Inanna
Metaphorical descent through Inanna’s seven gates
4. Personal Contemplation Practices
Listening to inner longing
Starting from where your feet are
Allowing yourself to unravel
Sitting with discomfort and uncertainty
Exploring inner darkness without seeking immediate resolution
5. Ritual Practices
Threshold crossing rituals
Cave time rituals and reflections
Inviting courage for personal transformation
Symbolically descending into inner caves of wisdom
In November, we explore the journey through darkness, inner wisdom, and personal transformation. Descent can be viewed as a metaphorical journey into one’s inner self, symbolized by the crossroads, cauldron, and cave. Here, we unravel, we let go of what’s not working, and we discover deep personal insights.
Listen to your inner longing, be willing to come undone, and recognize that descending into your own darkness is necessary to find inner light and personal power.
Reminder: Simple and Sacred
This virtual circle is usually offered live monthly on the second Friday of the month. November’s Circle will take place on Zoom on November 14th.

Thanks for being here!
We keep our promises.
We listen to ourselves.
We live our magic.
We build our trust.
We discover that when we show up
for our own lives,
the sacred shows up too.
We discover the goddess/magic
is everywhere,
that our feet are always on temple ground.
We learn that we are
held and supported,
nurtured and nourished.
And, so we return every day.
We come to trust our longings
as the doorway into connection.
Much love,
Molly
Thank you so much, Molly! 🙏💖🤗
