If you imagine a priestess starting a spiritual business, you might picture endless free time, silent mornings, long baths, and perfectly staged altars. That is not my reality. My reality is five kids who need breakfast, a sink that never empties, and a brain that holds grocery lists and goddess invocations at the same time. My reality is feeling the moon pulling on my emotions, wanting to honour her with ritual, and then realizing it is already midnight and I am exhausted. For a long time, I used that as proof that I could not be âproperly spiritualâ or âreadyâ for my own business.â
Then I noticed something: the women I wanted to serve were living the same kind of life. They were not waiting in monasteries with nothing to do; they were working, parenting, caregiving, healing from religion, rediscovering their bodies after trauma or shame. They did not need a priestess who lived in a tower of perfection; they needed a priestess who knew how to pray while stirring the pot, to invoke Aphrodite while folding laundry, to speak with Persephone while brushing her teeth, to call on Hekate at the crossroads of everyday decisions. They needed a temple that would fit inside a human schedule.â
This is where Lovestar Temple comes in. It is my answer to the question: âHow can I keep ritual in my life forever, not just when things are easy?â For 2026, I created a Full Moon Goddess calendar and journal, not because I am organized by nature, but because I know that without a plan, my rituals will be the first thing sacrificed to exhaustion. The calendar pre-plans the altars, the archetypes, the questions, so that when life is loud, ritual is still possible. Ten minutes at the sink becomes a moon bath. A single page in a journal becomes a temple floor on which you can kneel. Ritual becomes sustainable, not fragile.â
Fear still whispers: âWhat if no one comes? What if they judge you? What if you fail in public?â But when those fears surface, something deeper answers: âThis was never just about success. This was about creating a home for women who feel the same ache you do.â If you are reading this and your body longs for ritual but your life feels too full, Lovestar Temple was built with you in mind. You are invited, not as a perfect devotee, but as you are: messy, tired, hopeful, holy. In this temple, every imperfect attempt at showing up counts as worship.â
The Original Twin Flame Story: Plato’s Myth of the Divided Soul
Long before the term “twin flame” became a spiritual buzzword, the ancient Greeks had already mapped out its entire emotional landscapeâthe desperate longing, the magnetic pull, and the profound sense of coming home. They didnât call it a twin flame journey; they called it love.
And they had a story for it, one written by the philosopher Plato over two thousand years ago. This myth isnât just a quaint folktale; it is the foundational archetype that still shapes our deepest understanding of soul connection today.
The Story: The Origin of Soulmates
In his philosophical masterpiece, The Symposium, Plato presents a stunning speech by the comedian Aristophanes. He tells a story of the original nature of humanity to explain the powerful force of Love (Eros).
Aristophanes describes how the first humans were nothing like us. They were circular beings, with four arms, four legs, two faces on a single head, and incredible power. They came in three genders: male (children of the sun), female (children of the earth), and androgynous (children of the moon, who combined both male and female).
These original humans were proud and ambitious, and they even attempted to scale Mount Olympus to challenge the gods. In response, Zeus needed to punish them without destroying them entirely (as he still desired their worship). His solution was both cruel and ingenious: he cut them in half, right down the middle.
Apollo then stretched their skin around to cover the gash, tying it at the navel as a permanent reminder of their original state and their punishment.
From that day forward, each half-human was condemned to wander the earth, desperate and incomplete, longing for their other half. When they would find it, they would throw their arms around each other and be so inseparable that they would literally perish from hunger and inactivity, refusing to let go.
To prevent this, Zeus took pity and moved their genitals to the front, allowing them to find physical union and temporary satisfaction, and then return to their daily lives. Thus, love (Eros) is bornâthe name we give to the pursuit of our wholeness, the desperate search for the other half that will make us complete.
The Mirror to Modern Twin Flames
The parallels between this ancient myth and the modern twin flame narrative are breathtaking. Itâs clear that the core experience of a twin flame connection is not a new-age invention but a timeless, human phenomenon.
The Sense of Completeness:Â Just like Platoâs divided souls, twin flames report an overwhelming sense of “coming home” upon meeting. Itâs not just attraction; itâs a deep, soul-level recognition that feels like finding a missing piece of yourself you didnât even know was gone.
The Magnetic Pull:Â The myth explains the inexplicable, magnetic pull between twin flames as a primal, biological imperative from the gods. Itâs a force beyond logic or reason, driving the two halves back together against all odds.
The Intensity and Obsession:Â Platoâs halves clung to each other so fiercely they would rather die than be separated. This mirrors the often-consuming, all-or-nothing intensity of a twin flame connection, which can feel like a life-or-death bond.
The Different “Types”:Â The three original genders in the myth provide a fascinating parallel to the idea that twin flame connections are not solely heterosexual. A male-seeking-male half came from an original male being, a female-seeking-female from an original female, and the male-female pairs from the androgynous being. This ancient story inherently acknowledges diverse soul connections.
A Crucial Difference: Completion vs. Catalyst
However, there is one critical difference between Platoâs myth and the modern spiritual interpretation of twin flames.
Platoâs Goal: Completion. In the myth, the goal is literal, external completion. The half is lost and must be found. Happiness is achieved by physically reuniting with the other half and holding on tight.
The Modern Goal: Catalyst. The contemporary twin flame theory, influenced heavily by Jungian psychology, posits that the other person is meant to be a mirror and a catalyst, not a completion. The intense connection is designed to trigger your deepest wounds and force you to grow, ultimately so you can become a whole, complete individual on your own. The union is not two halves making a whole, but two wholes coming together to create something new.
In this light, the modern concept takes the ancient yearning described by Plato and adds a crucial next step: the journey inward. Your “twin flame” reflects your other half back to you so you can integrate it within yourself.
The Eternal Longing
Whether you see it as a beautiful metaphor or a literal truth, Platoâs myth endures because it gives voice to a universal human experience: the deep, aching longing for connection and understanding.
It tells us that the dizzying high of finding a twin flame and the devastating low of separation are part of a story humanity has been telling itself for millennia. That feeling of being inexplicably drawn to someone, of seeing your soul reflected in their eyes, is not a new phenomenon.
It is an ancient echo, a memory from a time when, as the story goes, we were whole. And it is a reminder that love, in its most powerful form, is the eternal pursuit of that wholeness.
There was a moment when I realized that if I waited to feel âready,â Lovestar Temple would never exist. I would keep writing love poems in the cracks of my day, mothering five children, scrolling past other peopleâs dreams, and telling myself I needed more time, more money, more structure, more permission. But under all of that, there was a softer, truer confession: I was afraid of being seen as what I really am, a priestess of the feminine body-temple, a woman who turned her own desire for ritual into a living sanctuary.â
I grew up in the church, where ritual had a time, a place, and a building. I miss that sometimes: the predictable rhythm, the way you always knew when the candles would be lit and the songs would rise. That cadence shaped my nervous system. It taught me that ritual is not just âwooâ; it is structure, medicine, calendar, container. But as a working mother of five, those old forms of ritual no longer fit my life. I do not have two hours to prepare elaborate altars every week. I have ten minutes in my bathroom. I have the walk from the kitchen to the laundry. I have the curve of my own hip and the softness of my own voice. Somewhere along the line, I realized: what if my body is the sanctuary now?â
Lovestar Temple was born from that question. It is my mission-led, ongoing experiment in turning a human womanâs life into a temple of love. The âTempleâ is not a distant marble building; it is the way I treat my body when I am tired, the way I speak to my reflection, the way I write to you about love, goddess, and desire. It is the poetry I share on Facebook and Threads, the free ebooks I give away, the romantasy tales and goddess activations that invite you back into your own softness and power. Lovestar Temple is my promise to keep choosing this path publicly, even when my voice shakes.â
Starting this business terrifies me because it is not a mask; it is my real heart. There is no safe distance between âbrandâ and âbeing.â So I made a quiet oath for 2026: to stop using fear as proof I should wait, and start using fear as proof that I am entering holy ground. Every time the fear voice says, âWho do you think you are?â I answer, âI am the woman who was lonely for ritual and built herself a temple.â And I offer that temple to you, not as something you must believe in, but as a mirror. Your body is a temple, too. Your longing is an altar. Your daily life can become a ritual of love. Lovestar Temple is simply one way I am learning to live that truth out loud, so you never have to walk back to your own temple alone.
A lot of women say: âI love to work with the moon, but by the time itâs full, Iâm too tired to do any kind of ritual.â
Thatâs why my 2026 Full Moon Goddess Calendar is created for busy people in the real world.
You do not need to do a 90âminute ritual to be in relationship with the moon.
Here is a simple outline you can use for any full moon when all you have is ten minutes:
Light a candle and take three deep breaths. Say the name of the goddess of that moon out loud, even if you feel silly.
Write down one sentence about what hurts or feels heavy right now.
Write down one sentence about what you want to feel instead.
Say one affirmation that feels like a bridge between those two truths.
Blow out the candle and trust that you were heard.
The calendar gives you the specifics so you donât have to invent them: the exact goddess, the exact journal question, a suggested affirmation, and a small physical gesture that anchors the energy in your body.
For example, on the Nike Blue Moon, your Hearth ritual might simply be: stand with your arms open like wings, name one thing you survived that you never got credit for, and say, âI move forward with confidence and purpose.â
That is enough for one full moon.
If you want all of these Hearth / Circle / Temple versions written out for every full moon of 2026, you can purchase the Full Moon Goddess Calendar ebook for $7. It is designed so that even on your hardest nights, there is always a version you can do.
If you crave being held in a group, my Moon Goddess Temple on Patreon offers guided live rituals for each full moon, along with written texts, prompts, and ongoing messages. You just show up; I lead us through the steps.
And if you are in a season where you can only manage a small touch-in, my Koâfi Full Moon Goddess Messages are perfect. You receive a short message and affirmation from the goddess of that moon. You can read it in bed and whisper the words as your entire ritual.
The moon doesnât ask for perfection. She asks for presence. Ten minutes counts.
Full Moon Goddess Calendar
Spiritual people who feel the moonâs pull but are too exhausted to âdo it rightâ, what if a $7 full moon goddess calendar handed you ready-made rituals for every 2026 moon so you just light a candle and follow the words?
Enter the 2026 Full Moon Goddess Ritual Calendar with over 100 pages of full moon goddess ritual, prayers, affirmations, specials for the blue moon and eclipses and full moon goddess inspiration.
Ishtar, a super ancient Love goddess and likely an Aphrodite predecessor, was this goddess, she was a goddess of war and love, and she had lion pets.
I built my 2026 Full Moon Goddess Calendar around specific goddesses who walk with us through the year. Each one holds a different part of our healing: rest, descent, shadow, courage, abundance, instinct.
Here are a few of the goddesses youâll meet.
Selene is the soft, luminous mother of the night sky. She appears on the Cancer full moons, holding your nervous system when you are overwhelmed. Her rituals in the calendar are all about rest, emotional safety, and letting yourself be cradled instead of always being the one who carries everyone else.
Persephone walks with you at the Scorpio full moon as the queen of descent and return. With her, you donât pretend that things are fine when theyâre not. You name the transformation youâre resisting and the fears that keep you from stepping through the door that is already open.
Nyx shows up at the Pisces eclipse, inviting you into the deep, star-filled dark. Her work is about shadow wisdom, the intuition that only arrives when you stop demanding constant light and let yourself be held by night.
Nike arrives on the Sagittarius Blue Moon as the winged goddess of victory. This is the rare second full moon in one month, and her ritual is about claiming what years of pain and training have already prepared you for. She is the archetype of âI earned this.â
Artemis closes the year under Cancerâs protection as the wild huntress. With her, you reclaim instinct, boundaries, and the right to be both tender and untamed.
These are just a few of the goddesses who anchor the year. Each full moon ritual in the calendar is written in detail: how to set your space, how to move your body, what to say, what to write, and how to close the rite so you arenât left open and raw.
If you want to walk 2026 with these goddesses month by month, you can purchase the Full Moon Goddess Calendar eBook for $7. It is made for real life, especially for women who are tired, busy, and still hungry for something sacred.
If youâd rather be guided, you can join my Moon Goddess Temple on Patreon, where we do the full moon rituals together, live. You get community, replays, extra writing prompts, and ongoing support as you move through the year.
You donât have to meet these goddesses only in myths. You can meet them on your living room floor, under every full moon of 2026.

And for a more bite-sized way to connect, my Koâfi Full Moon Goddess Messages bring you a short, channeled note from that monthâs goddess, a soft landing when you donât have energy for a full ceremony.
On the night of the first full moon of the year, when the Moon enters the watery house of Cancer and climbs high as the Wolf Moon, you are summoned to the inner temple of Selene, SheâofâtheâSilverâChariot, Queen of Night and Tides. Lay aside the garments of haste and duty; cross this threshold as one who remembers that rest is a rite and tenderness a law older than empires. In this chapter, you do not merely observe the Moon, you present yourself before the Moon Herself, veiled in white, crowned with light, watching over oceans, shores, and sleeping hearts.â
Enter your chamber as if entering a sanctuary. Let the lamps be dim, the air cool and soft, the noise of the world left beyond the door. Spread white or pale blue cloth upon a chosen surface and set there a single white candle, a clear bowl of water, and, if it pleases you, a stone that has tasted the Moon, moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz, cool beneath your fingers. Around them you may place symbols of home and belonging: a small key, a shell, a photograph of those to whom your heart returns. In this temple, your body is not a machine of labor; it is a vessel awaiting luminous filling.
When the hour feels ripe and night has settled, sit before this altar. Place one hand upon your heart and the other upon your belly, seat of waters and tides. Draw nine slow breaths, each an offering. With each inhale, imagine the pale glow of Selene descending from the high vault of the sky, pouring into your chest; with each exhale, let the weight of the last year slip down your spine and into the earth. Then take fire to wick, and as the candle awakens, speak softly, yet with the authority of one who calls a goddess by her true name:
âSelene, whiteârobed Lady of the Night, Rider of the silverâshining path, Watcher of seas and sleepers, I kindle this flame in your honor. Look upon me with gentle eyes. Make of my heart a quiet shore beneath your Moon.â

Beloved, for this January 3 Full Moon in Cancer, Selene is moving close, asking you to let your heart be cradled instead of constantly holding everything together for everyone else.
Tonightâs Full Moon in Cancer is a Selene moon: soft, tender, mothering, and fiercely protective of your emotional body. This is the kind of moon that brings everything up to the surface, not to overwhelm you, but to finally be soothed.
Here is your free Full Moon Goddess Message from Selene:
âBeloved, put the weight down for a moment. You are not failing because you are tired; you are tired because you have carried too much alone. Under this Cancer full moon, you are allowed to rest in my light like a child in safe arms. Breathe. The toâdo lists, the roles, the expectations can wait while your heart remembers what softness feels like.
You do not have to earn my presence. You do not have to be âcaught upâ to be worthy of comfort. Right now, your only task is this: exhale what you have been holding in your chest for weeks and let the tears or the silence come. I am here for all of it.â
If this message lands for you, place a hand on your heart, take three slow breaths, and whisper: âSelene, please hold me while I rest.â That alone can be your ritual tonight.
Come closer, moonâchild. Your nervous system has been operating in survival mode for so long that calm feels suspicious. You keep telling yourself, âOnce things slow down, Iâll rest,â but the truth is, youâve been building a life that never slows down. Your inner tides are begging you to stop treating rest like a reward and start treating it like oxygen.
Under this Cancer full moon, I am not asking you to fix your entire life. I am asking you to tell yourself the truth: where are you abandoning your own needs in order to keep the peace? Where do you tuck your emotions away so no one else is âinconveniencedâ by your humanity?
Your body remembers every time you pushed past your limits. The headaches, the tight shoulders, the lateânight scrolling, the numbness, these are not random. They are love letters from your cells, saying: âWe cannot live like this forever.â
Tonight, I invite you into a different kind of devotion.
Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Feel where your breath stops. Let it deepen slowly, without force. Then ask:
Where do I need mothering in my own life? What kind of care do I always give others but never allow myself?
Do not rush to fix the answers. Simply let them be seen in my light.

If the moon already pulls on your emotions, but your life is too full to âdo ritual properly,â this is for you.
I am a working mother of five who grew up in the church. I miss the feeling of ritual, the way it gave my nervous system rhythm and my soul a place to land. But in my real life, I donât have two hours to set up an elaborate altar for every full moon. I have bedtime, dishes, work, and the constant hum of responsibility.
So, for 2026, I created something I needed: a Full Moon Goddess Calendar that does the planning for me.
Every full moon of the year is mapped out with:
The date and sign of the moon.
A specific goddess who holds the energy of that moon.
A tiered ritual: a short âHearthâ version, a deeper âTempleâ version.
An affirmation and journal prompt to focus the work.
Instead of staring at the sky feeling guilty that âI should be doing something spiritual,â I can open my calendar, light a candle, and follow the words. I donât want to waste time thinking up a ritual. I just enter one.
For example, the Scorpio full moon with Persephone asks you to tell the truth about a transformation you are resisting and why.
The Blue Moon with Nike asks you to reframe your âdefeatsâ as training and claim your victory under a rare, double full moon. The work is already written. You just show up.
If youâve ever felt the moon stirring something in you but didnât know what to do with it, this is the point of the calendar: to give your feelings a container, your longing a structure, and your spiritual life a rhythm that fits your actual life.
If this speaks to you, you can get the 2026 Full Moon Goddess Calendar as a digital ebook for $7. It contains all thirteen full moon rituals, eclipse and blue moon specials, journal prompts, affirmations, and goddess messages.
There is also a free calendar with the important stuff so you can still do your full moon rituals in 2026. Download for free on Payhip, find the download through my shop also through this link.
For those who donât want to do this alone, I also host a Moon Goddess Temple on Patreon. Every full moon, we gather for live ritual, deeper guidance, and ongoing messages so you feel supported, not isolated, in your practice.
And if all you want for now is a small monthly touch, I offer Full Moon Goddess Messages on Koâfi: short, potent transmissions from the goddess of that moon that you can use as your entire ritual if thatâs what you have capacity for. No ritual needed.
You get to choose the level of depth your season allows. The important part is this: your soul doesnât have to wait for a âbetter year.â You can start with the next full moon.
It is no secret now that for 2026 I have goddess ritual as my resolution, but I can see the future and I saw that I will make excuses of not having time, energy, or I will miss the “important days” anyway. You are wise and you know I don’t have to see the future to know this, this is exactly what happened in 2025.
So, I decided to do something about it, and I spent my holiday vacation creating a 2026 Full Moon Goddess Calendar to plan my year in rituals and since the rituals are prepared, I will be more organized and I am putting energy into the practice ahead of time, so I will have no excuses later.
Why goddess ritual at the full moon?
Practicing mini rituals and devotional work with a goddess at each full moon in 2026 is powerful because it creates continuity, meaning, and emotional grounding in a year that will likely feel fast, noisy, and mentally demanding. Full moons naturally heighten emotion, awareness, and release; pairing them with a specific goddess gives your psyche a symbolic anchor, transforming overwhelm into intention and reflection.
Mini rituals work because they are sustainable (they donât exhaust you or require perfection) yet they train the nervous system to slow down, witness change, and mark time with reverence instead of anxiety.
Devotion offers something modern life rarely does: a relationship with mystery that is personal, embodied, and creative rather than dogmatic. Over the course of a year, these small lunar acts quietly reshape your inner narrative, helping you track growth, heal patterns as they arise, and feel accompanied rather than alone. You are not âdoing magicâ to escape life, you are learning to listen to it, month by month, with depth, beauty, and intention.
Like wine tasted that kiss. He came and stole my being. I saw not God but him.

This poem in the lovely Spanish language contains a clever word game. “Vino” which means wine is also a verb in Spanish which is the past tense of the verb “venir” to come for the third person singular.
“Vino” = wine “Vino” = (he) came *** in Spanish we can omit the person. “Vi” means (I) saw *** where the person (I) was also omitted “Vi no” in the third verse means “I did not see”.
