Why I help magical women to make more money

Why I help magical women to make more money…

Written by Lian Brook-Tyler

(even though I’m neither a money or business coach and have no desire to be one)…

My women would have been the shamans, the doulas, the priestesses, the spiritual teachers, the witches and the healers… in other lives or in this life, if they’d been raised in the kinds of communities we evolved in.

As you shared your gift with your community, you would have been resourced and provided for.

Your people would have queued for your words or your touch *and* would have brought the food, water and wood that meant that your needs were met.

In this culture, bereft of true community and the necessary initiation and guidance onto your path, you’re left floundering in uncertainty about your magic *and* you’re constantly distracted by money (or the lack of it).

This is made even harder because most of us don’t seem to be able to create a clear relationship with money.

For example, I recently discovered that in numerology terms I have a missing number 8, which represents Power (often symbolised by Money).

My numerologist explained that it’s not that I don’t or can’t have money, it’s that I struggle to see it clearly or create a conscious relationship with it. Yesssss! That’s exactly how it feels… kind of vague, unclear, misty, unreal.

Whether you give credence to numerology or not, it seems to me that most of my women share this lack of money consciousness. And I believe that’s no accident, it’s because money (or what it can be exchanged for in the material world) wasn’t meant to be something they needed to be aware of in the same way as people who are walking different soul paths.

This is made more confusing still by all the marketing and sales noise about how to make money, it’s not that those strategies are wrong, in fact, some can work very well for some people… but rarely us.

So those of you who suspect that you are different (if you’re anything like me, you’ll have been told this over and over most of your life tho you’re the last person to want to admit it)… what can you do?

Firstly, finally recognise and own the fact that you *are* different. No more being a raven busy pretending you’re a pigeon.

Secondly, walk the initiatory path to develop your unique blend of magic.

Thirdly, work *as* divine love and receive the ways that people want to love you back (bringing you food, water and wood or the money to buy it, and spreading the word to others about your magic).

So in answer to my opening line ‘Why I help magical women to make more money’… It’s quite simply because I’ve realised that part of my medicine is helping other women to be their magic. Ultimately, to find their way back to working as divine love… which is exactly why they’re here and what the world longs for.

If you (secretly 🤫) know that I’m talking about you in this post then the first thing to do is this… see yourself for the raven you truly are.

From there, the next breadcrumb on your path will be revealed.

All my love,

Lian

More By Lian Brook-Tyler

When you desire More
(love, meaning, freedom, joy…),
you want the path to be clearly lit and well-trodden.
To be lined with maples,
rose petals,
and maybe loved ones cheering.

It’s not.

The path to More
tends to be hard to find
and then once found,
even harder to set foot on.

Your mind will play tricks,
Telling you that it’s a folly,
a fool’s errand.
And whispers snake-like…
“It’s a waste of the very thing you seek More of.”

That’s because this path means leaving things behind.
Leaving people behind,
And most of all,
leaving you behind,
your patterns, your comforts, your status.

Your soul doesn’t have many enticements
that have value in this world.
It uses what it can.
It knows that if you follow your desire for More,
then its work is done.

Because really, the path of More,
is the path to more of who you came here to be.
There’s no turning back now, my love.

What is your earliest remembered dream?

What is your earliest remembered dream?

Written by Lian Brook-Tyler

Some psychologists see the earliest remembered dream as an important message from your soul, see the extract below from Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin for example.

Jung said in his memoir, written at 81 years old, that his earliest remembered dream “…laid the foundation for everything that was to fill the second half of my life with the stormiest passion…”

My earliest remembered dream was from around the age of four and it was a recurring one…

THE WILD CAVE

“I live in a large cave in the middle of wilderness with a group of other children and a multitude of animals who come and go as they please.

I can fly and can also use magic to allow the other children to fly alongside me when we go out on missions and adventures together. We fly in bright sunshine, through clouds and over forests teeming with life.

I don’t know why exactly we live together in the cave but there is feeling of deep love… of being accepted in our wild, free selves.”

I’m seeing that dream being birthed in my life and work… both in creating strong, supportive circles and communities, and in daring to burrow into the darkness and to fly out in the open, to be seen embodying all of the aspects of my wild power, whilst helping others to do the same in their own unique way.

What’s your earliest remembered dream?

Can you see the message from your soul in it?

How are you living into that message?

The power of ‘something’…

Written by Lian Brook-Tyler

I’m reading a book ‘The way of the human being’ about commonalities in Native Americans’ way of seeing the world.

It talks about how they share a perspective of seeing things as ‘plenipotential’ – defined as ‘full of potential for being a number of things at once’.

They are often careful to refer to things as ‘something’ instead of naming it as a specific thing which could solidify it into a permanent fixed state.

This is likened to some of the findings of quantum physics in which a thing isn’t a specific thing until it’s observed and defined (that’s very much my lay person’s summary, don’t take that bit too literally!)

This way of seeing the world feels strangely familiar to me – I think I’ve spent much of my life in a bit of a mist of vagueness around certain things!

Anyway, earlier I applied this perspective to a stuck lid on a jar of sauerkraut.

It was stuck tighter than a tight thing.

I had tried to open it, my mother-in-law had tried and finally, my husband had tried… it didn’t budge.

I tried it again today, it was still stuck tight, I was just thinking that we’d simply have to give up on it… and then it occurred to me that maybe it was only stuck in a world where it was being observed and measured as stuck.

In a plenipotential world it could be anything from stuck to not stuck (and possibly some other things too!)

I saw it as simply ‘something’.

And just like magic… it opened!

Maybe it was just a coincidence. Maybe this is just a silly story. But for Native Americans some stories have power.

Maybe this story has some power, despite the rather mundane inclusion of sauerkraut.

Where in your life could you soften your gaze and see the power of ‘something’?

Into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul

Written by Jonathan Wilkinson

I say those words (often repeatedly) each time I go through this entrance into my local woods.

This seemingly inconspicuous entrance is actually a gateway to a world of wonder and nourishment. Before entering I switch my phone to airplane mode and prepare myself for what awaits. Once through the entrance there is a steep descent of about 400 metres that leads me into the bowels of the woods. As I make the descent I feel my body opening and with each step down I loosen my grip on my mind falling ever deeper and deeper into my soul.

Sometimes its a fairly swift and smooth transition and other times if I’ve been really caught up in my thinking it can take a while. But mother nature always has her way with me eventually.

No matter how closed I’m feeling the moment I catch a glimpse of a bird of prey, a fox or one of the many magical creatures that inhabit the woods I am totally lost in the moment and any thoughts that were occupying my mind cease to exist as I am captivated by the wonder I am witnessing.

I know of no greater nourishing force for the mind, body and soul than mother nature, yet in todays world we have never been more disconnected from her. We’ve actually been conditioned to believe that we are somehow separate from nature which is probably the biggest illusion this modern world has ever pulled off.

The fact is we are nature, we are wildness and when we are separated from that that we are we suffer. Yet as we begin to shake off the layers of domestication and honour our wildness our full sensory capacity comes back online and with it our innate resilience. We once again become open, whole and complete.

At first it might be challenging to consistently connect with nature, your mind will come up with many reasons to put it off for another day. Yet once you have reclaimed your wildness you will find it almost impossible to separate yourself from mother nature for long. She always calls out to me whenever it’s been a while and my whole body aches from her absence. There isn’t enough money in the world that you could pay me to stay away.

How can you start to reclaim your wildness even if its just five minutes a day? I know not everyone has access to local woods or pure wilderness but there’s always options. It could be going to the park on your lunch break or having your morning coffee in the garden or maybe even getting a dog that will need plenty of walks.

As with all the of the Primal Fundamentals its about consistency over intensity.

Whatever resonates with you just pick one, have fun and do let us know how you get on.

Big love!

Jonathan
