EARTH

We arrive back in the soul soil of the dark moon - with a burgeoning new moon in Pisces

A new cycle is beginning ~ how does that feel?

How do you respond to the sense of being at the beginning of a new moon cycle?

This artwork was created by my favourite pagan artist Naomi Cornock who is an intuitive artist. She asked me to be her muse for Litha - midsummer full fire Mother element

Please listen to this EARTH transmission

I would like us to spend some time honouring the word MOTHER in it’s fullness. M is the 13th letter of the alphabet - thirteen is the number of the goddess. Mother is a word that has a translation in every language and one that is so rich in what it evokes in us - see how many ways you know how to say Mother. There is a bone deep knowing of its meaning. It is a full spectrum word encompassing life and death. It is a word loaded with complexity and meaning. Mothering Sunday is a day that can bring forward so much in the spectrum of love and grief.

We all come from a mother - and wherever you are on this day - honour that. Whether it be celebration or deep grief. Mother yourself, love yourself and honour what it is that you Mother in all the myriad of ways. Calling the sacred matriarch within for self mothering

Tenderly now as you encompass the young shoots of new life slowly peeking from beneath the fertile soil

CARD PULL

A message for the group. I tend to use the beautiful round Spirit De La Lune deck for my card pulls for this circle. The card I pulled for us today was Solar Eclipse ~ Threshold. Here is the message:

We are like the High Priestess in the Tarot, standing between the pillars of wisdom and knowledge. The Moon becomes the gatekeeper of this threshold. A deep initiation awaits you if you have the courage to step through. You are in the exact place you need to be now. There is a new opportunity and a threshold for you to cross. If you cross the threshold your life as you knew it will be over and a new path will begin. You know this deep in the ancient wisdom of you. The Divine Cosmos, your Spirit Guides, and the Sun and the Moon support this new vision. Do not let the fear of the unknown bind and constrain your spirit. When you shift out of fear and see the light, the universe will shift with you

ALTAR

Over the coming week notice the shifts that are subtly present - the way that the energy wants to shift and move. Thinking about this new moon cycle as being the one that will take us over the threshold to Spring and Aries season. Begin to consider ‘Spring cleaning’ and welcoming this energy onto your hearth altar

Piscies in Piscies

This is a lot of mystic water to flow in - notice where you may need your inner anchor. Stormy seas are possible to be navigated with diligence. It is necessary to learn how to swim

JOURNAL

A Moon of refinement at the end of the Zodiac cycle

The karmic house of the zodiac brings us back to the water of the mother - the place where we all begin life on earth - the threshold from Water to Earth - from Mother to Birth

The shedding of Winter tide has begun ~ a sloughing off of all old skins that no longer fit - have become tight and restrictive. Noticing how we put ourselves and one another in tight boxes that do not fit the magnitude of our possibility

INCANTATION

“I dream into being”

RECIPE

The land brings us rich support for transitioning to the Spring. Conjure up a wild crafted tea of the available plant kin at this time to support clearing and revitalising your body. Take a teaspoon of each of these for a single Spring Clearing support. Infuse in hot water for as long as possible before drinking in the benefits. These are clearing the lymphatic system of stagnancy and revitalising the mucous membranes, supporting the heart to open to release stuck energy and create flow, purify and tonify the blood and bring a host of minerals to your system

Young cleavers

Chickweed

Violet

Nettle

Always ask before you take and only take as much as you need. Listen to the messages you receive as you work with the plants. If you are not familiar with foraging for these plants, by all means use dried herbs from a reputable supplier until you do feel confident

RITUAL

Make sure you are well hydrated. Put celtic sea salt into warm water for a mineral rich, warming and soothing drink. Aereate your body - shake loose the stagnancy - allow your emotions to show you what is important, to assist you in providing focus to what needs your attention

UTILISE THE SPIRALLIC PATHWAY

Should you wish to return to Moon One with fresh eyes and a need to utilise the transmissions there please feel free to receive from the wellspring we are cultivating at any point

This is a circle song that I have sung many times over the last 8 years in ceremony and feels particularly apt for Mothers day in the Piscean dark moon energy

A gentle reminder that we are still in the final stages of Imbolc slowly we are turning to 3pm on the clock face - the direction of East
