“Persephone’s Moon”
The first New Moon of autumn is “Persephone’s Moon”.
The goddess of spring & of the underworld begins her descent,
bringing about the dormancy of fall and the reflection of winter.
Persephone is a sister goddess of The Great Mother, Gaia.
Yet Persephone looks upon Gaia as both sister & mother. (Persephone being the “young maiden” aspect of The Divine Feminine…
Gaia possessing all aspects fully and completely. Therefore, Gaia being one of the ultimate incarnations of The Divine Feminine)
Working with Gaia,
Persephone begins to awaken with the first stirrings of spring, on IMBOLC.
Bringing about the renewal and rebirth of spring.
{Being more of a “physical” presence in spring – action, movement, motion…
versus the deep “intuitive” presence she has in winter – mental, reflection, rest, preparation…}
Just as spring burst forth from winter, when the time is right
Persephone will give you the extra push to put all that has been reflected upon and prepared for
in motion.
Persephone is beautiful, gentle and sympathetic. She radiates a wonderful, bright light.
Persephone will help to bring clarity by shedding light upon those “dark” areas of your life, struggling relationships, and your unconscious (the “underworld” within).
Persephone can help you strengthen those areas where you are vulnerable.
She is especially willing to help women who are in dysfunctional or abusive relationships.
{And to understand and work to change those behaviors within yourself}
She is a guide for the seer…
the medicine woman…
and helps us to strengthen & connect more deeply with those aspect of ourself during these months of reflection.
Brew a warm cup of mint tea, sit under the New Moon, reflect upon your struggles, and ask the beautiful goddess Persephone for her guidance.
