Working with the energy of the Piscean Full Moon

This powerful moon is considered by some to be a Blue Moon – a second moon within a calendar month.  I do not hesitate to name it as a Blue Moon however I will state that astrologically, it is not a blue moon.

With our eyes turned skyward to the gleaming disc within the sky. May we take a moment to honour Neil Armstrong, astronaut, who gave of himself to be the ‘first man’ on the moon.  To be able to look down on our Earth from above – what an incredible sight that must have been!

We are coming up fast to the Equinox in September! In preparation, this full moon has the energies of Neptune and Chiron within.  There will be many surprises, moments of joy and ‘light bulb moments’ as well as a feeling of being lost, alone, even melancholy.

It is a full moon of purpose – a combination of our soul purpose and our physical action.  Normally, they tug at each other in different directions.  However, I have a feeling that the Fish is becoming more like a Salmon as the years progress.  The energy is purposeful – You will wake up!  You will find your connection!  The Salmon is learning how to flow UP the river.

The Goddess Rhiannon asks you to combine your creativity and your passion with your daily living. No matter what you do – a job you love, or a job you detest, you can still fulfil your destiny with an attitude of love, determination and duty.  Whether you be the homeless person on the street or the most famous, glamourous and exhalted human known to mankind – your purpose starts right where you are NOW; in this moment.

This full moon will bring your ‘lost pieces’ to the fore; demanding that you seek a more fulfilling way of living your life.  It will be a time of introspection and healing.  –Give yourself the time to contribute to Universal healing through a group meditation (I’ll be conducting one on BlogTalkRadio – see the link below) or personal ritual then read a good book or watch a good movie with some chocolate and a box of tissues.

 

Be the change you wish to see in the world

~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

 

Pisces is a Water sign – so you may desire to concentrate on working with water, the element.

The following are suggestions for items you may like to focus on:

Archangel Correspondences ~ Raphael

Crystal correspondences ~ Blue-lace Agate, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Bloodstone, Fluorite, Halite, Opal, Fire Opal, Clear Quartz, Staurolite and Turquoise

Goddesses:  Rhiannon, Aphrodite, Isis, Mariamne, Mari, Tiamat.

Gods:  Dylan, Ea, Llyr, Manannan, Osiris, Neptune, Poseidon.

Access Questions ~ Who does this belong to?; What sense of connection, communion and consciousness have I suppressed, repressed, depressed and made unfeeling?

Healing Focus ~ is the best time to work magick involving dream work, clairvoyance, telepathy, music, and the creative arts. Healing rituals for ailments of the feet or lymph glands are also done at this time.

 

During this Full Moon in Pisces you may choose one of the following activities that resonate with you – or create your own!

  • Create time for music, painting, poetry, or to read an interesting book.
  • Seek quiet time to rejuvenate your soul
  • Relax in a bubble bath (even better if you can SEE the moon)
  • Daydream or meditate
  • If the weather permits, go swimming or a walk near a body of water.
  • To help with grounding, fill a basin with warm water and a teaspoon of sea salt – let your feet soak.
  • Get a pedicure, reflexology session or massage – to pamper the physical body
  • Open up your intuition through divination tools – oracle or tarot decks, pendulums, scrying, or however your clairsensing gifts present themselves.
  • Spend time in your garden – to meditate or purposefully give back to the earth.
  • Put out your crystals, your wallet or even a ‘wish list’ for the moon’s healing energy.
  • Take out a container of water and leave it under the moonlight.  The next day, fill a spritzer bottle with the moon-blessed water. Light a blue candle and then gently spray your home with this blessing.

Full Moon Blessings to you and yours.

 

 

 

Happy Hogmanay

by

Hogmanay

Trying to find out the meaning of the word “Hogmanay” (hog-min-ay) can cause you to run around in circles and falling down in heap on the floor (much like drinking too much whisky on Hogmanay night!).


Some say that it comes from the Anglo-Saxon Haleg Monath (Holy Month), or the Gaelic Oge maidne (New Morning). Others believe that it comes from the Celtic Hogunnus (new year), or the Flemish-Dutch hoog min dag (great love day). There is also the Old French word Aguillanneuf – referring to both the last day of the year and the gift traditionally given on that day.  


Christmas was never very popular as a celebration in Scotland.  Why?  It was believed to be too ‘catholic’ so many Scots waited till their beloved Hogmanay to really live it up!


Whatever the original meaning and purpose, lost in the days of old, the meaning of Hogmanay has always been a celebration of a New Year.  It is interesting that Hogmanay is celebrated as a more modern calendar/solar version when New Year on the Wheel of Life is Samhain!


Anyhoo.. let’s look at a few of the old traditions to welcome in the New Year!


Historical Celebrations

·         an old Scottish traditions was for children to run from door to door on New Year’s Eve asking for presents and shouting, Hogmanay!  The small gifts received were also called Hogmanays.

·         amongst the Scottish regiments, the officers had to wait on the men at special dinners while at the bells, the Old Year is piped out of barrack gates. The sentry then challenges the new escort outside the gates: ‘Who goes there?’ The answer is ‘The New Year, all’s well.’

·         New Year’s Day, women would race to the local well to be the first to ‘get the creaming of the well’.  The first water drawn was said to guarantee marriage within the next year!

·         cleaning the house on 31st December (including taking out the ashes from the fire in the days when coal fires were common).

·         clear all your debts before “the bells” at midnight.

·         welcome friends and strangers, with warm hospitality and of course a kiss to wish everyone a Guid New Year

·         dressing up in the hides of cattle and running around the village being hit by sticks.

·         lighting of bonfires, rolling blazing tar barrels down the hill and tossing torches.

·         Wrapping animal hide around sticks and ignited; the smoke was believed to ward off evil spirits. The smoking stick was also known as a Hogmanay.

·         Singing Auld Lang Syne

 

An old custom that is still prevalent is one called “First footing” (that is, the “first foot” in the house after midnight). To ensure good luck for the house, the first foot should be male, dark (believed to be a throwback to the Viking days when blond strangers arriving on your doorstep meant trouble) and should bring symbolic coal, shortbread, salt, black bun and whisky. These days, however, whisky and perhaps shortbread are the only items still prevalent (and available).  Families used to hire out their dark-haired relatives for the purposes of First Footing!!!


Here in the Celticai Household, I’ll be spending today cleaning our house, changing bed sheets, emptying ‘old’ food from our cupboards and making sure that there are no unpaid bills lying around!  My husband will be clearing gutters and debris from the garden (also great for the Australian Storm Season Preparation).  We’ll talk about and write down our vision for the upcoming 12 months. 


Later in the evening, I’ll light some sage and invite the Angels into our home.  Then we’ll gather with family and friends to welcome in 2012.  Of course, in Australia, this is normally a BBQ and a swim in the pool.  As we get a wee bit older, we tend to watch the Edinburgh Tattoo while enjoying a dram or two of single malt whisky.

 

May yer blessings oot number the thistles that grow and may troubles avoid ye wherever ye go!
