Illuminate the Magic Within

Illuminate the Magic Within ☽
Long ago, when the veil between the seen and unseen was thinner…
People lived in rhythm with the land. They listened to the whispers of the wind, the stories in the stars, and the wisdom that pulsed through roots and rivers.
They told stories not just to pass the time, but to pass down truths—truths about life, love, loss, and the sacred wild within. These stories—myths, folklore, fairy tales—weren’t just entertainment. They were soul maps.
Here at re:Membering, we walk back along those ancient paths—not to relive the past, but to reclaim the parts of ourselves we’ve left behind. This is a space for those who have come through the fires of caregiving, grief, burnout, or transformation.
It is a space for those who are beginning again, blank slate in hand, with a heart full of questions and a longing to feel whole.
We gather the forgotten pieces, the sacred threads of your story, and begin weaving something new.
In this cozy, magical corner of the web, you’ll find reflections, resources, and rituals to help you reconnect with your own inner compass. We honor cycles—of the moon, the earth, and our own becoming. We embrace story as medicine. And we walk together, not in a straight line, but in a spiral, where healing, creativity, and self-discovery can unfold gently.
My name is Martina, and I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m a writer, story weaver, and rebuilder of sacred things. After ten years as a dementia caregiver and many more years trying to find my place in a world that often forgets what’s sacred, I created this space as a love letter to anyone trying to remember who they are.
Because we are not broken.
We are becoming.
And our story is sacred.
Welcome to re:Membering. Let’s begin again, together.
What you’ll find here
Soulful essays and stories about grief, healing, and transformation
Spiritual self-care practices rooted in earth-based wisdom
Simple rituals and moon magic to align with your inner cycles
Insights from mythology, folklore, and sacred storytelling
A growing library of podcast, written and Youtube content to inspire you
A space that honors your voice, your truth, your wisdom, and your sacred unfolding
This is a spiral path, not a straight line. Together, we walk it with compassion and curiosity.
Meet Martina Rutledge
For ten years, I was a caregiver for my mother during her dementia journey. When that chapter closed, I found myself standing in a quiet, unfamiliar space—full of grief, full of possibility, and unsure where to begin.
re:Membering grew out of that silence. It's my way of sharing the stories, rituals, reflections, and small soul sparks that have helped me begin again.
I’m not here to fix you or tell you how to heal. I’m just here to share what’s helped me remember my own magic, in case it lights a lantern on your path too.
This space is a gentle landing place where you are welcome. A place to rest, reflect, and feel less alone as you find your way back to yourself.

The YouTube Channel
Sacred storytelling. Heartfelt vlogs about all the things I’ve learned and love. Moon musings. Magic in the mess. Long after the caregiving ended and the silence set in, I picked up my camera and started to reweave the pieces of my life—one story, one walk in the woods, one breath at a time.On my YouTube channel, I share my own journey of re:Membering: the sacred art of coming home to yourself after deep change.

Mike & Irmgard
Before re:Membering, I was a caregiver. For nearly ten years, I walked alongside my mom as dementia slowly changed everything. A dear friend walked a parallel path with her dad. Their names were Irmgard and Mike. This space is in their honor. Caregiving is an act of devotion, heartbreak, and quiet heroism. It can be beautiful. It can be brutal. And it can be so incredibly lonely. This is a space for caregivers—past and present—to find resources.
