FIRE

ALTAR

The Sun is rebirthed in Capricorn Season

ARCHETYPAL

Cancer represents the Mother and this full Moon is perfectly pitched with the Rebirth. Rather than focus on the newness of rebirth we must focus on the ones that support us to be rebirthed. To acknowledge how important it is to honour the great mother and to realise that in this great cycle of life how important it is. We have come from her waters and we must return to protecting the sanctity of these waters.

The Mountain Goat has two lithe feet placed earth side with two horns connected to spirit. With the Sun in its early beginnings the Capricorn carries it within its horns down the mountain to the earth.

GLYPH

Cancer Moon

The Water Mother. Cancer is the sign of Motherhood and is governed by the Moon. This is a sign of home and nurturance and reminds us to connect with what that means for us. What is home? How is it embodied in our lives and present. Is it aligned with our soul longing. In what way can we bring nurturing and creativity in to create a home for ourselves and others.

ALCHEMY

Our Earthly water is governed by our Moon, and thus so are we duly influenced. Made of minerals stardust and a lot of water. The Moon was at its Perigree (closest to Earth) just before Solstice. This may feel particularly amplifying in the sense of our connection to home and the emotional waters that it provides. We are brought back to grass roots of gratitude and belonging.

GODDESSES

Arianrhod is the Welsh and Celtic goddess of the Moon. She is a goddess of both fertility - birthing her sons by Magic and embodying the original sense of Virgin Mother ~ a Woman unto herself - but also of departed Souls and rebirth. She has a silver spinning wheel of fate and as a protectress of souls presides over reincarnation. Owl and Wolf are her animal familiars - both linked to death and wisdom keeping. Her tree is Birch - the tree associated with Rebirth

PLANT CONSCIOUSNESS

There is nothing that gives us more connection to oneness than the network of mycelium which weaves together the underground life blood network of our world - through it whole ecosystems are supported. Individuation is not a concept ~ all is interconnected in the great web of life. How can I trust and surrender in the great web of oneness of which I am interlinked and dependent

INCANTATION

“We trust the path as it reveals itself. We tread slowly, carefully and sustainably through the Winter months towards the birth of our dreams”

EMBODIMENT RITUAL

Hunker down by flame or fire and allow illuminations to arise. Cleanse under the moonlight - calling in the Silver light of the Moon Goddesses to support our interweaving tapestry of dreams

Yield your earth body and acknowledge the present ~ allow the emotions that surface to wash over you as the tide ebbs and flows

SACRED HEARTISTRY

What is being called forward as you rebirth? Are your thoughts and actions in alignment with what you are calling forward?

OFFERINGS

The wise elder woman of winter spins the way forward ~ make an offering to your old self, an offering to your present self (the only true one) and to the future self - in keeping with the way you wish to be

INVOCATION

‘Fire is the seed of life-force; I trust this new expansion as it roots new ways of being’

WELLSPRING

Build a well of compassion for yourself and others as you navigate the water realms of this full moon. You are now walking the way into potentially colder and darker realms before Spring arises. Once roots have strengthened deep down, only in perfect timing will shoots start to emerge. Trust in the timing
