Why have a Wise Woman Festival by Flash Silvermoon
2010 DEDICATION
This year I dedicate the festival to all the women who have continued to participate and support this festival as well as all the wonderful new women who are giving us a welcome jolt of new energy. I dedicate the festival to the Earth, THE GREAT MOTHER as she goes through her changes. We all must roll with the shifts and changes and support Her as well as ourselves and this is no small feat!
Remember too that we have all our relations and all of our friends on the other side cheering us on as we become the Midwives of this New World we are co-creating.
Thank you Tara Silverfox, Cherie, Cathleen, Brenda Henson and so many of our sisters, mothers, and lovers who help us hold the space from other dimensions. We stand on your shoulders.
Blessed Be,
Flash Silvermoon Founder of the Wise Woman's Festival
