MiddleWorld Mysteries in Motion

Our MiddleWorld Mystery folk tend to get to know each other well. Potentially three years (and more!), cycling the seasonal wheel together brings many moments of support, joy, sadness, frustration, magic, creativity, celebration, etc. Cohorts get named and released each year in cycle, and all those who pass through find their way into what we call our community ‘story song’. 

In addition, each participant is named in a daily way to the sun and the moon, so as never to be forgotten as one whose energy touched the fuller community of participants. We honour each other, whether present or not. 

One celebration that we keep our eye on is birthdays! Each birthday invites an opportunity to honour the inherent gifts each person brings and the story we have all come to tell to the world. We create a ‘birthday honouring bundle’ to mark the day and celebrate each other. These are made with offerings of all kinds. If you’d like to learn more about these bundles, our ‘Folk Arts in Season’ this month describes them well.

Here’s to all the inherent beauty within each of us!

Tucked within the folds of Ninth Wave Arts programming is our MiddleWorld Mystery of the Storied Lands offering. This offering is more than a program. It’s a growing community remembering itself as part of cycle and the greater population of seen and unseen beings. We strive to have good relations with each other, the spirits of place, lineage lines and the ancient ones.
