Kristin, your name and work has come up multiple times for me this year, and it's so synchronistic to have subscribed to your Substack this week, and to begin reading your translations of the Orphic Hymns on the day of the Mercury Cazimi. I actually woke up in the middle of the night alert and found your email with Part 2 of your commentary on Hymn to Hermes. I am brought to tears reading this essay in particular as I realize deep in my bones I am part of the Orphic tradition, a child of Earth and Starry Sky. I launched my astrological practice this year (named Mystic Magnolia Astrology - feels very Orphic to me) and through building relationships with the planets I've unlocked a well of creativity left untouched since I was a child. The writing and art (lots of collages & love to see you're a collager too!) I've created this year are inspired by the connection of Earth and Starry Sky. Thanks for all you do! I am so grateful for your work!
Omg Emily THIS nearly brought me to tears! I’m so, so glad this resonated for you! The Orphic calling is real, and I’m so glad to have you as a fellow child of Earth and Starry Sky! (Well, we all are, but not everyone remembers.) 🙂
It feels as if one of our collective purpose as astrologers is to help people remember, and I will be musing on this. Excited to continue supporting & following along with your work! If you offer the STAR course again I will absolutely be signing up when the universe aligns!
Completely agree about our work here. And that's why Hermes is a patron of wisdom paths and priests/priestesses/priestexxes ...because in a way we function as mini-me versions of Hermes Himself, helping to guide others into remembrance. Love this for us as a collective!
And yes Drew and I will be offering STAR again. Not sure of the timeline yet, but you'll definitely hear more about it in the coming months!
