AIR

~ Invitation ~

Create space to breathe and dance with new ideas but allow them just to be present ~ don’t try to force them into being too soon

MOON

In her waxing phase the moon is rising. This is the time for setting intentions and sowing seeds into the fertile dark. A time to initiate (not complete), to seed what you are calling into being. Think about the seeds you are keeping safe and warm this winter. Consider what direction they need to be planted and how you will give them what they need to take root

SUN

We move into the Season of Sagittarius and the time of the Wisdom Keepers. Sagittarius comes with a sense of steadiness and patience. The archer knows when to take action, but will be steady and only do so in full alignment. The wisdom keepers do not stand for being called into petty energetic quarrel with others. They stay true and know that they are the bearers of a more sustained inner gnosis that will see them through. They stay rooted in what is theirs and meant for them. When Wise Women stood in this power, they became feared and thus demonised. We must call in the wisdom of this inner elder for ourselves in times of darkness. Take our own counsel and that which we deeply feel is rooted in truth, compassion, love and discernment. The Crown of the Crone is well earned, her staff well worn from treading the road less travelled. She possesses the Hagia Sophia - the Holy Wisdom.

ALTAR

Honouring the Wisdom Keepers. How can your altar represent this energy of tending to the inner flame through the darkness?

PRACTICE

Air + Air = A swirling cauldron of potential. How can you stay connected to a sense of the inner season of the Elder. Can you connect to the wisdom keeper you are becoming. Call on the guidance of benevolent spirit guides to support you in the next evolution of rebirth

JOURNAL
