I did the first ritual with a few friends who I’m kindling a magical relationship with. It was one’s first time doing any sort of ritual, and she really loved it. The other is a solo practitioner, and it was really special for her to be with others.
I’m really loving the community aspect, but we’ve figured out that we’re only able to meet once a week. I’d love your advice for which rituals we should do when we’re together. Should we just do the main 4 honoring the elements over the 4 weeks of July, or should we stretch it out to 8 weeks?
I’m leaning toward the main 4 and doing the others on my own, but I’d love any insight you can offer! Thanks!
Hi Allysha! I just now saw this...so sorry! I am over-the-moon to hear that you and some friends did one of these rituals. 💖💖💖 I'd say, totally follow your intuition (and that of the group) as far as what rituals you all want to do and when. I think starting with the main 4 over the 4 weeks of July is perfect and then you can reassess if you want to get together to do the others or do them on your own. For the vast majority of these downloadable packs, I tried to make them so people can pick and choose whatever rituals and/or exercises speak to them. With only a couple exceptions (month 8 in particular is a whole month-long thing meant to be done in order), there aren't any prerequisites or anything like that. So let your heart and soul take the lead! And thank you SO much for participating! 🤗
I love this post, Jenna! I agree, community is so important, especially in a world where destructive forces are driving us apart. And I love especially that you say "in reality, relating with Magic is always done in community. Even if it seems like we’re practicing alone, we are communing with all of our allies and with Magic itself."
Thank you for nurturing wholeness, unity and community with your work and generous offerings 💗🙏
Thank you SO much, Veronika! This really warms my heart.❤️ I consider you and your synchronosophy work to be such a big part of the community I love, the community I see humanity becoming. Truly, your work is the guiding light for all of us to move in that direction.
Jenna, these Packs are so generous, thank you. I too tend to be a hermit. Yet, in my younger years I did lots of community practices and rituals. With Siddha Yoga, Amma, CSL, etc. Lately I feel drawn back to community. I really appreciated what you said about the gift of diversity in community. I too see the power and beauty in it is that each person offers, shares and gives from their talents and gifts while also taking in and receiving what others offer as their gifts and talents. Complementing and creating a fuller experience of ritual, practice and community!
Thank you, Julie! I have to chuckle every time I see how similar our paths have been. As you know, I belonged to some of those very same communities. I think my pull these days might be towards very small groups, where we can share intimately. I'm thankful for friendships like ours that are such a deeply rich part of my community! 💖
I have been thinking so much about community lately Jenna and what I want it to look like for me. Like you I tend to gravitate towards solo practice, but I do feel called to be at the centre of something, who knows what that looks like, but it is emerging. I know how much work you put into this, it truly is a magical offering, which is a blessed gift. 🥰
Thank you so much, Louise! Someone commented on a note about this post that they like to do their practice solo and then debrief about it in community. I really loved that! I think that would be a way that I'd like community to look like for me too. Each doing our own work/practice and then coming together to share about it. I'm looking forward to hearing more about how your idea of community comes into being. Blessings to you, dear friend! ❤️
Upgraded! So excited to have some structure around ritual. I'm usually the one facilitating and it feels soooooooo good to have this support. Thank you, Jenna! The Magic you share is phenomenal!
Thank you SO much, Allysha! This means the world to me, truly. ❤️❤️❤️ Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or are looking for more support. Blessings to you, my friend!
Jenna, I absolutely love the downloadable packs you send to us! They are so nicely done and offer wonderful information and prompts to consider. I feel very drown to the COMMUNITY this summer, so you have piqued my interest. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Melissa! I really needed to see this this afternoon. ❤️
I think it is important to support each Substack author when we can. You are one of my favs and you always make me want to be better. Much love.
