As we look to the future, I call upon the winds of the North and the wisdom of the Ancestors. They remind us of the strength and guidance that comes from those who have walked before us. This is the season to set intentions, grounded in purpose and supported by the lineage of wisdom we carry. The Ancestors’ whispers guide us in planting seeds that will grow into the vibrant, purposeful life we envision for 2025.
Guided by Ancestral Wisdom: My Transition to The Wild Sage Society
This past year, as I navigated the transition from Marcie Walker LLC to The Wild Sage Society, I found myself leaning heavily on the wisdom of the Ancestors. The decision to leave behind a successful financial coaching business wasn’t easy. For years, it was my safety net, the foundation of my identity as a professional. But as I paused to reflect, I realized it no longer aligned with my soul’s calling.
In moments of uncertainty, I turned to ancestral guidance. Through meditation, ritual, and quiet contemplation, I invited their wisdom to flow. They reminded me that each step I take is part of a larger journey, one that extends beyond my lifetime. Their insights helped me set intentions not just for my business, but for the legacy I want to leave behind.
This process gave me clarity and the courage to plant new seeds: the relaunch of The Wild Sage Society Podcast on the Winter Solstice and the creation of holistic offerings designed to guide others in their own journeys of alignment and healing.
Actionable Steps for Setting Intentions
Setting meaningful intentions requires more than just writing down goals. It involves aligning with your inner truth and grounding your aspirations in purpose. Here are steps to help you set powerful intentions for 2025:
- Reflect on Your Why:
Before setting any intention, ask yourself why it matters. What is the deeper purpose behind your goal? - Anchor in Wisdom:
Take time to meditate or journal, asking for guidance from your ancestors or spiritual guides. What lessons from the past can inform your future? - Write Your Intentions as Affirmations:
Frame your intentions as present-tense affirmations. For example, instead of “I want to grow my business,” say, “I am growing a thriving, purpose-driven business that aligns with my values.” - Create a Ritual:
Rituals add power to your intentions. Light a candle, say a prayer, or perform a symbolic act like planting a seed in the earth to represent your commitment. - Revisit and Refine:
Regularly revisit your intentions throughout the year. Reflect on your progress and adjust as needed, staying flexible and open to new insights.
Connecting with the Ancestors
The Ancestors are always with us, offering their guidance and support. Here are some ways to deepen your connection with them:
- Meditation and Visualization: Sit in stillness, visualize a sacred meeting place, and invite your Ancestors to join you. Ask for their wisdom and listen with an open heart.
- Create an Ancestral Altar: Dedicate a space in your home to honor your lineage. Include photos, heirlooms, or symbolic items, and use this space to reflect and give thanks.
- Ritual Offerings: Offer small tokens of gratitude, such as flowers, herbs, or written prayers, to acknowledge their presence and guidance.
- Dream Work: Before bed, set the intention to receive messages from your Ancestors in your dreams. Keep a journal nearby to record any insights upon waking.
These practices help you cultivate a relationship with your Ancestors, grounding your intentions in their wisdom and ensuring that your goals are supported by a strong foundation of guidance and purpose.
With love and gratitude,
Marcie
