EXpLORE THE FIVE GODDESS LANGUAGES
OF POETRY
Have you ever felt moved by words in rhythm—a song, a chant, a poem, the pattern of a loved one’s name? Your body, soul, and heart are attuned to the primal human craft of meter, used worldwide to move our bodies, souls, and hearts. They help us to transform ourselves by bringing ceremony alive and people together. That’s why I call meters the Goddess Languages.
Twelve years ago, I left university teaching to create a new, holistic way of understanding and teaching the ancient magical arts of thee meters. Would you like to join us in the beautiful journey of Meter Magic? There are several options below!
Yours in the magic,
Annie
THE METER OF THE MONTH
Annie offers you two monthly classes each month and an online meter learning community, all synced together to focus on the same Meter of the Month.
CREATE THE SPELL TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE: FIVE DIRECTIONS WOMENCIRCLE
First Wednesday of Each Month at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET
A gentle, welcoming space for reflection, connection, and creativity.
Each month, join poet and teacher Annie Finch for a guided circle designed to help you reconnect with yourself and your intentions. Inspired by ancient traditions and Annie’s own personal practice, Five Directions Womencircle invites you to explore how the energies of the five sacred directions—East, South, West, North, and Center—can offer insight into your current life journey.
We’ll begin with journaling and sharing in a supportive environment. Then, using a poetic practice called Meter Magic, we’ll shape our intentions into a simple, powerful spell—a poetic “amulet” you can return to for strength and inspiration throughout the month.
No prior experience with poetry or magic is needed. If you identify as a woman or gender-nonconforming, you are warmly welcome to join. Each month, you’ll receive suggestions on what to bring or prepare ahead of time, along with access to a private class space for participants.
Come as you are—curious, tired, joyful, uncertain. There’s space for all of you in the circle.
Members of Meter Magic Spiral receive 15% discount on tuition to this class.

Ready to deepen your relationship with rhythms and poems?
The Advanced Meter Magic Mistress Class is a monthly deep-dive into the rhythms of poetry and their power to shape language, thought, and even personal growth. Each session focuses on a different poetic meter—its sound, structure, and emotional resonance.
Led by acclaimed poet Annie Finch, these classes combine technical learning with creative exploration. You’ll read powerful poems and spells, learn to identify and scan meter, and practice writing in the month’s featured rhythm. There’s also space to ask questions and receive personalized feedback from Annie on your own metrical writing, when you’re ready.
Whether you’re a seasoned poet or simply intrigued by the magic of rhythm, this class offers tools to:
- Strengthen your poetic craft
- Appreciate metrical poetry more deeply
- Use poetic rhythm as a tool for personal insight and empowerment
Each month, participants gain access to readings, links, and additional materials in a private online space. All are welcome.
