A very generous writer whose essays inform and uplift. Jenna makes the everyday magic apparent and invites her readers to share their journeys. I feel included in the best kind of way whenever I read one of her posts.
Simplicity is the greatest sophistication. Every time I read Wild Leaf I feel a window open in my mind that lets fresh air in to revivify and give me strength to go on believing we can live in a beautiful way together with Earth.
They got me with the lines, "Expect a high tolerance for literary showing off" More than a booklist, The Auraist is also a reading event filled with electrifying ideas in bold language that does't play it safe , what I try to do myself at The Corpus Callosum Chronicles. If you like my writing, definitely subscribe.
Marni’s Substack is a generous and scholarly resource for learning the lost history of the goddess, and discovering how she’s still part of our culture today. If you’re feeling the call to learn more about the divine feminine in a way that grounds the esoteric, you will love this Substack.
When I read Martin Shaw's newsletter I feel like he's telling me something I once knew a long time ago and had hidden deep in my bones for safe-keeping until it was safe to remember. His words are, to me, essential. Each letter is filled with surprise, wonder and delight.
The Sharpener is a wonderful resource for poets. Not only will you be treated to Sean's finely curated reading lists, the craft letters are something really special. I've taken a lot of writing courses and I feel he truly cares about helping people write good poems. Instead of offering opinions and judgment, he offers clarity and solutions that take into account the psychological aspects that can inhibit us from doing our best work.
