MOON Taurus SUN Scorpio

I thought I would share with you the process I presented at Full Moon circle on Saturday…

Consider your physical self & make a list of the toxins that need to be removed & the method of detox necessary to do it. Repeat this process for your mental self, your emotional self & your spiritual self. Choose the most important one from each list & rewrite the detox process as an affirmative action.

For example:

TOXIN- wheat DETOX- remove from diet ACTION- Do not eat wheat.

TOXIN- image of self DETOX- re-invent identity ACTION- Assert new identity & compliment self every morning.

TOXIN- wavering faith DETOX- explore new spiritual pathways ACTION- Perform a prayer or ritual at least once every week.

Once you have your Action list, commit it to memory.

Now, find a peaceful space to journey…

You are on a pilgrimage to find the World Tree. It may take moments or hours, or weeks, or years. You may journey through many manifestations of time & space. You will know the Tree when you see it for it will call you & it will radiate… glow.

Place your palms on the Tree & rest your forehead upon it sending love & gratitude through your Third Eye. Then sit with your back to the Tree, your base reaching down to connect with the roots & your crown reaching up to connect with the branches.

A being comes by &, without speaking or any effort or discomfort, hangs you from the Tree, then departs. You are suspended here for 3X3, minutes or hours or days or weeks or years or life times, whatever is required to remove you from the old & propel you into the new. When this is accomplished, whatever holds you to the Tree loosens & you fall lightly to the ground.

There you find a knife & using it you carve the Action list into the trunk of the Tree. Then you use the knife to cut open your palm on your dominant hand & use the blood that issues forth to smear the words.

Give thanks to the Tree & journey home…

MOON Aries SUN Leo

My feet have finally hit the ground again after such a high over the weekend with Full Moon Tarot Meditation Circle on Saturday & Imbolc- a celebration of the awakening light workshop on Sunday…

As I sit by my fire contemplating ancient language & symbolism, I realise that holding regular Full Moon & Dark Moon Esbats as well as workshops for the Sabats, I have settled into a rhythm that holds me in a lovely place. I know that what I choose to do in the “actual” world will have an echo within as well as to my past & present selves. These regular circles & practices are setting me on a mighty course indeed!

So, I give thanks for my life & my love as I continue to be guided by my ancestors, the Fae & my own intuitive voice, dancing the Wheel again & again…

Arachne’s Dark Moon- Gemini

She came to me as I sat inside my Earth Star. She arose from the shadows, powerful in Her carriage, purposeful in Her stride. I stood to greet Her. I found that I could not meet Her eyes. Honestly, they frightened me a little… Deep green with many reflected surfaces… I felt raw & exposed. So I bowed my head, held my hands in prayer over my heart & waited for Her to speak.

“To look upon you is to see the woven web of my creation. Do you see the treasure hidden in the weaving? Do you understand the beauty of the pattern? Come, give me your hand & I will show you…”

I held out my hand & She took it. Suddenly I was looking at myself. Standing before me with head bowed & hands in prayer position above the heart, was a shadow of myself embedded in an amazing display of light! It took me a while to understand the pattern, but when I did, it was indeed a beautiful thing to behold. It spoke to me of how my past has danced with my future, how my present never exists, how all of me can move in all directions at all points in time to all spaces that ever exist.

Then I saw the movement, the flow & the colours of the lights. It was alive with activity, full of colours I have no point of reference for describing! There seemed to be a pulse, a rhythm to this movement, which I studied long & hard. Until it came to me, the ancient Song of my Soul. The words & melody that remind me of who I always am, what I always do & how I do it. The treasure had emerged from the weaving… And then She released me & spoke to me once more.

“Child, you are now responsible for this piece of wisdom. You must decide how to weave it into your surface world. Treat it with care for it may become a gift or a curse. Weave Well Woman Child.”

Then She was moving back into the shadows, singing my Soul Song as She went. I sent out a prayer of thanks Her way & returned to my Earth Star meditation.

Delving into Arachne’s shadow brought rise to mystery, which led to fear, overcome by wisdom & accepted as a gift… for I will weave well the treasures of my spirit.

Blessings on you all this Dark Moon night.

Rebirth of Self- A Wombyn’s Visualisation

Sit with your hands over your womb. Focus in on your breath. When you are only aware of the in breath and the out breath, reach into yourself & consider who you are, in this moment. Explore this idea without judgement, with only positive, unconditional regard.

When you feel you are able to sit with who you are, focus in on your hands, feel them grow warmer & feel this warmth reach your womb. In your mind, take who you are & add or remove anything that you feel you need to in order to move forward with confidence & strength & good intentions. Hold this new image of you in your minds eye. Allow it to move down your arms, through your hands & into your womb. Visualise this new self-creation taking seed & growing within your womb. Feed her with love & sweet promises of a wonderful life.

When you & your new self are ready, allow yourself to birth her. She will be born and held in your arms. The warmth of your hands will hold her close to your heart. Your hearts will beat as one. Your breath will flow as one. You will become one.

Feel yourself becoming your newly birthed self. Feel it like you would if you were putting on a new pair of jeans. Stretch & wiggle. Check out how you look now in the mirror. Explore how the new you thinks, is it different? Is it the same?

If you are content with this change, stand before a mirror & say,

‘I am me and we are thee and it is so, so mote it be.’

If you are not content, allow her to be freed & accept that who you are now is who you must be, for now.

Samhain Dreaming

I stood at the gateway watching the veil become so thin that I could see shadows moving around behind it. There were two sentries, my usual Jackal-headed men, & they stepped aside when the time was right. I moved through the gateway, the veil felt like mist…

The next thing I remember was becoming aware that my entire being was tiny particles, scattered on a horizontal plane about 20 meters from the Earth below. My consciousness was removed, looking down from above – a bit like the sensation of astral projection. My particles had a soft green glow. Another set of particles on the same plane moved over mine. They had a deep red glow. I knew who it was: we had been connecting for some time. She began sinking & blending with my particles, & as I watched, some of me fell to the ground, as did some of her. When this transformation was complete, my consciousness met my newly Blended particles & my form began to return.

I was moving along a path & as I went I realised that it was in fact my family tree. I could see clearly the placement of all the family that I knew & even the places of the ones that I did not know. I stood in my place on this tree & began the search for my Spirit Tribe connection. When I saw it, it was a bright tunnel of light that moved through me & went forever above & forever below. I allowed my Spirit form to separate from my body & flew in both directions wrapping this tunnel of light with colourful ribbons, making strong my connection with my Spirit family & ancestors. This done, I sat, in my body again, & allowed my Spirit Tribe to moved through & communicate what I needed to hear. I am so grateful for this process & have been gifted with some very powerful tools to support the flow of love through my life.

When I cam back to me, I was sitting around a fire with my Mothers Mother, Pilili. She has been in my Dreaming often & has shared many mysteries & treasures with me over the past few moons… She was brewing a potion over the fire & telling me about the process. I could feel all of my beloved dead gathered around, just beyond the light cast by the fires flames. My beautiful familiar, Iimaja, was purring at my feet… She & Granny were the only dead that I was able to see & communicate with, & I am thrilled that I was able to connect with them both. There was also another aspect of me sitting opposite me by the fire, but she did not say anything, just stared into the flames.

Leaving this space was difficult. I feel so at home on the other side of the veil… But leave I did & with a sack full of love & wisdom & stories & spells over my shoulder.

Sacred Balance

Sacred Balance is a place where you can position yourself in order to find stillness & gain perspective.

MEDITATION

Imagine you are standing strong, tall & still in a void space. Find your centre point & allow every part of your body to be pulled towards this point. You do not need to physically move, just experience the sensation. When the energy of your centre becomes really strong, imagine that you have 2 orbs drawn towards you, with the orbs always at opposite ends of your auric space, never coming closer to each other, spinning around you with the force of the attraction to your centre point. These opposing forces are offering you their energy in their attempt to become one with you. Feel this energy entering your centre. These are completely opposing energies, but seem to find a way of connecting when they are inside of you. Experience this sensation. Note how it feels physically, emotionally, spiritually. The inner union of these opposing orbs is the perfect space to empty your mind & connect with your energetic form. Listen to the wisdom that will arise from this point. Allow it sink into your mind. When you are ready, release the orbs, relax your centre & come back.
