“As if you were on fire from within.
Pablo Neruda
The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
Blessings on this final full moon of 2018, born from the winter solstice with a kiss.
As we come to this moon cycle we are closing out the year…
Pausing
Resting
Reflecting on…
The journey we have had and where we have landed at this moment in our lives;
What it took to get here;
How we responded – or did not,
to the push to move, grow, expand, change…
to be brave…
In these 3 days of this phase of the cycle
{the turning of the wheel ends and so begins again},
there is no more release to be done.
No more thinking of what we need to bring into our path.
We are here, we are now,
The choices made
And so,
We take this time
– this more authentic “new year” as the light gently re-emerges after the longest night of winter solstice,
To honor ourselves
and give body, mind, and spirit the time for reflection and “re-calibration” that is much needed and much deserved.
Winter has officially begun.
Preparing us for the illuminations and revelations to come with the returning sun.
In these first 3 days of winter, and as nature’s new year transitions…
We are to “GIVE PAUSE“
We are to HONOR all we have been through
Giving respect for the journey traveled thus far.
Give “time” and LOVE to you,
With GENTLE, tender loving CARE.
Give yourself permission to stand still.
TODAY:
Get outside.
Embrace the sunshine.
Take in the beauty of nature and the healing it brings.
Consider all that surrounds you
and how it is connected and interwoven to each other... to you
(the animals, plants, rocks, water, air, mountains...
the sun, the moon, the stars...)
Be present with Gaia - Mother Earth, and her elementals.
Welcome their gifts and guidance in the days and year ahead.
TONIGHT:
Step out into the moonlight.
Dance among the stars.
Sip a sweet nectar.
Partake in a magical potion.
Allow yourself to let go... to "travel"...
Sing the songs of your heart, to the music of your soul.
In a celebration of Gratitude & Love ♡
NOTE:
My posts for what to expect in 2019 are coming. Here’s a tiny glimpse.
As I started bringing forward this time last year, 2018 was the year of the moon, and building a relationship with moon and magic (Goddess Hecate – and the fires of the Phoenix)
That relationship continues through 2019.
As we move into 2019,
WATER, The STAR Goddess (the stars), and CREATION through creativity and magic are overseeing the journey.
…so make that moon water. It will be most valuable.
*** Make MOON WATER,
to bring into your sacred space and enhance your magic in the year ahead.
It will hold the strengths and the memories that support you,
The wisdom of the past, and insights to the connected unfoldings,
As well as, the LIGHT of HOPE & RENEWAL.
MOON WATER RECIPE:
Before the Moon Rise…
With intentional thoughts and energy – welcoming the gifts of Moon {& sun… heaven & earth} to infuse themselves into this water, with Love, Light, and Divine connection…
1. Put water into a vessel that has a lid, preferably clear or with enough transparency to see that there is water inside.
2. Place your open/unsealed vessel outside, or on a windowsill, under the most direct path of moonlight.
3. Keep it there overnight. For one to three nights.
* With this moon, 3 days and nights would be the most ideal. Infusing it with the most potent energy of years past and year to come.
4. Retrieve the water.
Say a small prayer of gratitude with thanks and respect for the elements (& elementals) that have blessed it. Cover it.
Then bring it inside and place it in its special location.
* Magic comes to life in water, and grows by the changing phases of the moon. The moon and water magic are one, inherently and perfectly entwined.
Water is already powerful and energetically charged but that charge can be enhanced through environment and intention.
Being near water – such as a lake, a river or the sea, it is easy to feel its presence, its power, its cleansing ability.
Remember that bathing – in a tub or shower, is also an opportunity to cleanse body, mind and spirit…
when done with intention “bathing” brings purification and regeneration.
Bringing even a small amount of intentionally charged water into your home can have powerful effects.
Place on your alter, next to your bed, near a special place where you sit in meditation, contemplation or quiet relaxtion,
or any special place and its gifts will flow.
Intentionally connecting with the water, when called to do so, will expand its benefits, connections, and insights.
