June 3rd Dark Moon in Gemini. A Lilith Ritual and More!

June 3rd Dark Moon in Gemini. A Lilith Ritual and More!

by Monika Carless | Jun 1, 2019 | Musings

  “Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ~ Mark Twain ~ I’m kind of obsessed with the dark moon. Of all the moon’s phases, I look forward to ritual with this one the most. If you’re not familiar with the dark moon, here are a...

Full Moon in Scorpio. Embrace the Sensual, Sexual, Rawness of Life.

“Why do you love the moon so?” she asked, peering at me over her glasses, sipping coffee from one of those mugs that allow you to hug them with your whole hands. “The moon connects me to the gentle flow of life, to the remembrance of my own cycles,...

“For we all have our own twilights and mists and abysses to return to.” ~ Sanober Khan Twin flame relationships are part of deep, soul-evolution. They guide us on a path of self-realization, of integrity, and, most importantly, self-love. I believe that one of the...

Kittens, wrote this a while back on Your Tango, and realized I hadn’t shared with you. For all the times we grieve love. #6 is my fave! Love is a practice, not a destination. Letting go is probably the most difficult journey any human being can undertake. We are...

*My latest on Your Tango, kittens! The sustainable path considers self-love as integral to the ‘whole’ of the relationship. “Don’t do everything for him, you’ll regret it later.” This was the sage marriage advice I received from my...

It is said that one must pass through the constell It is said that one must pass through the constellation of Cancer to take physical form - from spirit to physical manifestation.
Our dreams also require such a portal - from vision to actualized form.

Answer Dark Moon in Cancer's Call. A moon of roots and your inner emotional world. 
Take the hand of this powerful mother-womb ally.
It's calling you home to an instinct that has never left you.
It may feel as dangerous now as it did before, but you understand yourself better than ever, and you know what is essential in your life... what there is no more time to ignore.

Blessed be.

HEALTH UPDATE I am coming into equilibrium. Alth HEALTH UPDATE

I am coming into equilibrium.

Although ‘resistance’ has been my name the last three weeks, I have received good care and counsel. I am leaning into grace for my body, and accepting that what I thought was good health, was something unravelling in my body seeking my attention, not only for physical changes, but also mental perspectives.

Even when we have all the tools, we sometimes forget how they apply to oneself.

I was diagnosed diabetic, with unmanageable, shockingly dangerous blood sugar levels. It is all ‘under control’ now. This Scorpio always has so many systems in place for being in control, and now, this chaos – which is teaching me much.

I felt much worse when the sugar levels came down to normal, because my body was so used to functioning in the extreme levels. Strangely, when the sugars stabilized, I lost all motivation and inspiration for creativity. I needed more sleep. Needed to eat more times a day… continually hungry. I slowed down exponentially. I've hidden away.

My whole system for the last year was operating on hyper-mode. It felt invigorating... a very false narrative. 

My mind wants to know why this happened? I’m starting to slow down with the why, why, why.

It really doesn’t matter.

What matters is what does my body need right now, to be in harmony with itself?

What internal mechanisms – mainly my thought patterns – need to find peace?

I’m taking a much clearer view of myself in the mirror. It’s hard. I want to look away, but I won’t. A radical shift is occurring.

Thank you so much everyone for your good wishes. They have certainly been appreciated and needed.

Reflection and journal inquiry .What has come int Reflection and journal inquiry

.What has come into fullness in my life since the beginning of this year? 

What qualities have I cultivated within myself that I once sought from others? 

Where am I still waiting for permission, validation, or approval? 

What am I ready to harvest and celebrate? 

What remains unripe and requires patience? 

What beliefs or expectations am I ready to compost back into the Earth? 

How have I become a nurturing presence in my own life? 

If the Harvest Mother spoke to me today, what wisdom would she offer? 

Blessed be!

A couple of weeks ago I commemted on a post where A couple of weeks ago I commemted on a post where I asked about the enslaved adopting the religion of the enslaver. 
I am interested in exploring this, I only bear the question, I am not qualified to answer, only speculate.
One of the folks on that post suggested that it would be difficult to find what their ancestors believed in. And to return to that.
What I've shared here comes from the book  The Great Cosmic Mother - Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth by Monica Sjoo and Barbara Mor. 

Perhaps this is one road back?

And also... how far the roots of matriarchy and goddess worship go. How anciemt the roots of earth based spirituality. 

So much falls into perspective. Sacred Africa, thank you.
I'll never look at the moon in the same way again. I'll never look at the moon in the same way again... thank you Luna.

I just wanted to thank all of you beautiful people who have reached out to me here and in my private messages since I shared that I wasn't feeling well. I appreciate you so much. It has truly helped me. 

I hope you are well. 🙏🧡

And just like that, it's July! The headiness of M And just like that, it's July!

The headiness of Mid-Summer is still with us, with many long days ahead. You may begin to notice a shortening by the end of July and the festival of Lughnasadh at the beginning of August.

Julv is the time when Wise Women make medicine from plants, such as calendula balm when flowers are in bloom. It is also a time for making infused oils, vinegars, tinctures and drying herb allies for healing teas.

Southern Hemisphere has just passed Winter Solstice thus beginning the lengthening of daylight there.

July 7 Last Quarter in Aries 
Julv 14 Dark Moon in Cancer 
July 15 Witch's New Moon in Leo 
July 21 First Quarter in Libra 
July 29 Full Moon in Aquarius

Blessed Be, Witches!
