Taurus Full Moon – November 2016

by

━═★ Full Moon Blessings ★═━
The Full Moon in Taurus on 15th November 2016 (11.52pm, Brisbane Time) is a supermoon – the closest the Moon has been to Earth in 68 years.  Therefore, the energies will be magnified more than usual. Full Moons are energetically connected to the previous New Moon’s goals, dreams and plans.  What did you put into motion two weeks ago?  This full moon brings an opportunity to harvest what was sown.
━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━
Perhaps you have experienced loss and challenge is some form in recent times – illness, loss/change of employment, relationships ending. This Full Moon asks for your gratitude to kick in and appreciate WHAT is STILL here. It would be so easy to sink into the challenging energies Earth is experiencing, but now, more than ever, it is time to look for the cloud’s silver lining.
You will also be feeling pushed, pulled and tugged to explore your spirituality – perhaps a course, a book, a webinar or a renewed commitment to your spiritual luxury. This is great! Be original, be expressive.. but be prepared for friends and family to watch you with upraised eyebrows and an inability to understand your motivation. Breathe. Everyone has their own rhythm – are you willing to dance, sing, express your own? Try not to follow the mainstream energies.  What you are experiencing is not illusions of grandeur.. this is your subconscious mind translating the Universal Energies to say: C’mon! Let’s make this EarthWalk of yours a great one!
Dreams may be extremely vivid during the three days of the Full Moon’s energy. Your sensitivity will be heightened and you may feel as if you are battered on all sides. It is important to realise that the energies are universal.. spending time outside – gardening, walking, resting or just reading a book will be beneficial. MAKE time for you to recover, revitalise and renew.
━═★ Taurus Moon of Dreaming ★═━
Taurus Full Moon please create within me
A connection to the wondrous World Tree
Where creativity and loyalty manifest freely.
As I will, so mote it be.
━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━
If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this Full Moon include: topaz, carnelian, emerald, opal, jasper, blue muscovite, blue tourmaline, iolite, kunzite, kyanite, rhodonite, rose quartz, selenite, septarra, variscite.
━═★ Taurus Full Moon Magick ★═━
When the Moon is in the sign of Taurus, you may notice people’s protective and stubborn streaks coming out into the open. Just like the Bull, Taurus energy guards what it believes to be of value. Creative and artistic endeavours are also favoured during this sign’s influence. New projects will be enhanced with longevity, usefulness, increasing value but also be less inclined to change. Take your time and choose well – Taurus energy sticks!
A perfect time to buy or bless any magickal tools involving pentacles or objects you associate with Earth.

A Taurus Full Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:

  • Increasing material abundance
  • Revealing ego flaws and rigid structures
  • Work–related needs
  • Connecting with nature
  • Releasing clutter and energy–draining forces
  • Physical healing and
  • Anything which would benefit from solid, grounding, steady earth energy.

Scorpio New Moon 2016

by

━═★ New Moon Blessings ★═━

The New Moon in Scorpio on Monday 31 October 2016 has its zenith at 3.38am (Brisbane Time, Australia). For our friends overseas, the New Moon occurs on October 30th. Those who have Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius as their sun signs or ascendants will feel this new moon particularly.

━═★ What does that mean for you? ★═━

For the emotionally sensitive, you may already be feeling the pull to reflect, review and analyse your life. Alternatively, you may just wish to either call a stop to the surrounding madness and get off the roundabout or let loose with a creative and possibly repetitive stream of abusive vocabulary. Scorpio New Moons usually encourage you to master your own self.
Honour this time of Beltane (same day as the New Moon) and honour your wounds. This energy asks you to notice those areas of your life that are stuck or not going as planned. You may also come to the realisation that your thinking stinks. That’s okay! Your choice, now, is to either use it, keep sitting in it or shove it to the side.
You may choose to allow this energy to keep you feeling unwanted, unloved and under-nourished. What are YOU going to do about it? Uplifting and emotionally nourishing activities will prove to be much easier on your physical body than food, alcohol, sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. All things in moderation should be your catchphrase over the next 7 days.
As those emotions come up – and they will (especially that schizzle you thought was done and dusted) – are those emotions actually honouring the wound/experience? Honouring the wound allows time, faith and patience to heal and balance. It acknowledges that a scar will remain. If you find yourself itching at that scar, remain loyal to yourself and your integrity. Be aware of how those emotions affect your interactions with others – stinging others may feel good at that time, but having to apologise afterwards will cause you even more anguish.
Remember, all things go through cycles. What must die/change/decompose will become a foundation for new growth. Honour those cycles of release and renewal.

You may notice over the next four weeks and especially across the next 72 hours, some interesting behaviours arising. Scorpio energy seeks out wounds, in all shapes and forms, so that they become a tool for personal growth. Although you may feel the need to let loose on your loved ones, channelling that energy into creative or intuitive endeavours is a much better idea.
If you are feeling alienated, call on your network – family, friends and spiritual – to remind you of your ability to cope, adapt and succeed!

━═★ Suitable Crystals for Gridding ★═━

If you are gridding, suitable crystals to work with this New Moon include: Amethyst, topaz, dioptase, agate, boji stones, golden yellow topaz, charoite, hiddenite, malachite, kunzite, labradorite, moonstone, Peridot, rhodocrhosite, ruby, turquoise, variscite.

━═★ Scorpio Moon of Dreaming ★═━

Scorpio New Moon heralding a change –
Whatever is holding me still, I choose to release
So that I can focus on what I feel is truth and light.
May the metamorphosis be filled with ease
Over the next 28 days, starting this night.

━═★ Scorpio Magick ★═━

When the Moon is in Scorpio, you may notice an increase in the use of intuitive abilities within yourself and others. Secrets are sought and people’s verbal sting becomes stronger. A powerful time to look for lost items and buy or bless any magickal tools involving cauldrons, chalices or other objects you associate with Water. Mirror Magick is strongly favoured during a Scorpio Moon.

The Scorpio New Moon is beneficial for magick concerning:
Binding magick
Increasing sexuality or celebrating the Great Rite
Change / metamorphosis
Raising energy
The Mysteries and inner knowing
Seeking kindred spirits
Releasing emotional and spiritual distractions.

Know Your Value

by

Know Your Value
Welcome!  This blog is a summary of the free energy clearing and healing session broadcast on Reflect Radio on March 25, 2014.

Broadcast Title: Know Your Value

On connection with Spirit, I received three songs:

The energy of these songs speaks to me of:

  • Expectations of Direction
  • Exploring Authentic Self
  • Stay Calm and Confident

What does The Wanderer mean as “Know Your Value”?

These past few months, you may have felt as if you were careening off in five different directions all at once.  Outwardly, you may have seemed as serene as a Swan.  Inside, you felt more like a duck – with your feet madly paddling under the surface trying to stay afloat.

To know your value, you must be willing to release expectations of HOW things should be and instead, choose how you can use the energy as a positive contribution in your life.

Let’s clear it!

What expectations am you creating as obstacles to you own choosing, satisfaction, joy and ease? Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

Are you willing to dismantle, unfurl and reveal those obstacles so may receive, perceive, believe and know your infinite value as a contribution in your own life?  Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

What does It Started with a Kiss mean as “Know Your Value”?

You are being urged to be the equivalent of Spiritual Viagra!  To be prepared to become intimate with your intimate self!  Are you ready? Yes?  YEAH!

Authentic Selves are quirky and are willing to work past perceptions of what is considered “right” or “wrong”.  Authentic people play with the energy around them.  They like to:

  • Flirt with the possibilities!
  • Get cosy with their uniqueness!
  • Enjoy their partnership with themself!

Observe the events and experiences this week as they arise according to your PERCEPTION of your own value.  Are you willing to change your perception of yourself?

Let’s clear it!

All value you are choosing as a contribution to your life, would you now choose to reveal, release, reset and revitalise!

What value can you choose today to create, generate and receive productivity, abundance, prosperity and ease?  Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

What does I’m Sexy And I Know It mean as “Know Your Value”?

There’s a calmness and confidence to those who know their value.  Being the energy, receiving it and allowing the energy to either flow or go makes you ‘sexy’!  What are you going to choose today?

Let’s clear it!

Who do you choose to be today in allowance of the Universal Energy, your authentic self and your Life Purpose?  Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

Everything not allowing your freedom of choice, would you now choose to reveal, release, reset, revitalise.

Everywhere you have chosen to be cocky or complacent would you now choose confidence and accomplishment as your true colours?  Reveal. Release. Reset. Revitalise.

This blog is a summary of the free energy clearing and healing session broadcast on Reflect Radio on March 25, 2014.

Mabon

by

MabonOstara Mabon Equinox Blessings

On March 21st, the Autumn Equinox occurs – when day and night are equal in length.  Known as Mabon (pronounced MAH-bon), it is when the God is within his Sage stage and approaches the end of his life.  He is preparing to leave his physical body and journey into the underworld.  During Samhain, he will rest until he is reborn as The Sun God at Yule.

During Mabon, the Goddess is in her Crone aspect as she prepares herself for her lover’s eventual demise.  Although saddened, she knows he lives on inside her.

Mabon is named after the Welsh God Mabon ap Modron – stolen three days after his birth and imprisoned.  He was rescued by King Arthur and became one of his companions.  His story symbolises hope, faith and loyalty.

Mabon represents the battle between day and night.  At the equinoxes, Lleu Llaw Gyffes (son of Arianrhod and the God of Light) and Gronw Pebr (God of Night) battle for supremacy.  At Mabon, Lleu is betrayed by his wife, Blodeuwedd.  Lleu is defeated and the days begin to become shorter.  This battle symbolises the cycle of rebirth.

Nature starts to enter its dormant phase, conserving energies as the days grow shorter.  It is the last of the harvests.  Mabon is also known as The Wine Harvest, Apple Harvest, Harvest Home, Witch’s Thanksgiving and Cornucopia.

‎To our Lord and Lady ~ Mother Earth, Father Sky

We seek your blessing as Mabon draws nigh

Giving our thanks for all you provide

For food, warmth, shelter and love supplied

We harvest our hopes, leave behind our fear

And listen closely, winter announces she is near.

Help us find our balance at core

Transform our light to flow and soar

Bless our homes, our friends, our hearth

Cycling gently with Gaia’s Wheel on Earth.

(Caithe Cameron)

The Historical Traditions of Mabon

The Second Harvest and the Autumn Equinox were celebrated by honouring the wise aspects of the Gods and Goddesses.  Celebrations provided welcome relief from the hard labour of harvesting.  It was considered to be an ideal time for finishing old business, exploring The Mysteries and focussing on equality.

Animals began their migration patterns while farmers and villagers readied their stocks for winter.  Produce was carefully preserved, wines were made, seeds and seed pods were stored for the coming months.  Magickal Herbs were picked and dried.  Houses were fixed and wood put aside.  All in preparation for the cold months approaching.

Offerings were made to harvested fields in recognition of its abundance.  It was believed Grain Spirits lived within the last sheaf of the harvest.  These were often dressed and decorated to resemble a man and then burned as a celebration of the sun’s gradual return.

Graves were honoured with offerings of seeds and seed pods.  This may have been especially prudent when heavy snowfall may have prevented people from visiting these sites during Samhain.

The Modern Traditions of Mabon

As a celebration of Crone energy, it is a very important time for considering your own spiritual growth.  Nurture and enrich yourself as a spiritual being of Wicca and as a child of The Goddess.

Walking through the forest, visiting cemeteries and collecting seed pods are worthwhile activities in modern times.  Picking pumpkins, harvest crafts and selecting a Harvest Queen and King are also popular across some Wiccan traditions.

As a time of community, you will notice Pagan Pride and International Women’s Days are often held in the month of March.  These help draw together like-minded people by acknowledging the connection between different people.

Although many of us no longer harvest our own fields, bounty can still be celebrated.  Food drives or contributing to a local charity reflect abundance.  Why not share your own abundance?

The crafting of God’s Eyes is sometimes associated with Mabon. (Remember those popsicles sticks with wool wound around them?)  Also known as an “Ojo de Dios”, the ancient symbol was originally made by the Huichol Indians of Mexico and the Aymara Indians of Bolivia.  It is believed to represent the dying Sun God and how he is always watching over us even if the sunlight hours grow shorter.  Spaniards took the tradition back to the European countries.

It is an ideal time to honour your shadow self by respecting and working through your emotions of sorrow, anger, mistrust and repressed feelings.  Expand your practical culinary skills by trying your hand at making pickles, chutneys or jams.

Mabon in Oz

Here in Australia, The season of Mabon brings cool mornings and warm, still days.  By some Aboriginal groups, it is called The Eel Season as they are fat and ready to harvest as they head out to sea for breeding.  The birds begin their migration patterns, the possums and dingos begin their breeding seasons. The skinks and tortoises begin their hibernation.  Red-tailed Black Cockatoos begin to chip away inside dead trees to create their nesting spaces.

The Manna or White or Ribbon Gum begins its flowering season.  You know these Eucalypts with their blazing white bark. At the base of their trunk, the bark seems to fall away in ribbons – hanging like the petals of a flower and the branches shooting straight into the air like a 40 metre tall stamen.

If the weather conditions are right, rainfall is a high possibility.  Autumn is known as the season of Fall – where the leaves fall from the trees. Here in South-East Queensland, very few trees lose their leaves.  The Black Bean or Moreton Bay Chestnut begins flowering (these beans are highly toxic causing diaorrhea and vomiting).  Velvet Leaf or Callicarpa bushes will slowly turn their inconspicuous, small, green berries a stunning, bright purple.  Brush Cherry trees are growing their edible pink and red fruits.

In gardens, the Banksia Bushes are flowering, as are the Easter May (a non-native tree).  The mulberry and gooseberry bushes are fruiting and will be ready to harvest in the coming weeks.

This is a season for getting out into the garden. The sun is not as hot and there is still some daylight in the early evening to weed, prune and sing to your plants.  It is a time to prepare some of the vegetable beds for their fallow time and prepare to plant the Winter Seeds.  It is also a time of nurturing the land of your home.

Of course, many will be celebrating the Christian celebration of Easter.  You may choose to follow both the energy of mass consciousness alongside your Mabon celebrations.  Do what feels right for you and your intention for being in connection with the cycle of time.  Easter can become just a fun time of sharing chocolate while Ostara can be something more profound.

As a season of rainfall, you may wish to work with water goddesses, the colours of the Manna Gum (silvery white, blue and pink) or the medicine of the Eel and the Possum.

Mabon provides an opportunity to:

] Initiate a food drive or assist a charity with theirs

] Participate in Clean Up Australia Day, International Women’s Day or Pagan Pride Day

] Pick apples in an orchard

] Complete a Gratitude List for your Reflective Journal

] Turn off the TV and tell stories!

] Complete an Autumn Clean in preparation for Winter

] Make apple candleholders and apple garlands

] Weave a God’s Eye (remember weaving wool around paddle pop sticks???)

] Make a scarecrow for your garden

] Make pickles, jams and preserves.
