New Moon on New Year’s Day

by Monika Carless | Jan 3, 2014 | Musings

This year, a new moon appears on January 1st  and 30th. A great time to ask blessings on new ventures, work spells for healing. Look to the first full moon for success with your casting. The light is low now and the fire is banked up high. There is time to weave new...

Re-reading The Alchemist's Daughter for the fourth Re-reading The Alchemist's Daughter for the fourth time, excellent writing, inspiring much thought. This quote is exercising my brain around Autumn Equinox and the purpose of death and decay. 

Merry Equinox Witches!
The last eclipse opened up something powerful for The last eclipse opened up something powerful for many of my readers, clients and friends. For some, seismic shifts. For others, a gentler path towards the next portal... Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

I like to celebrate all convergences on the Wheel of the Year as mini seasons, to open to it for one day seems too fleeting.

Our cells respond to gradual shifts in the Sun's journey across the sky until we come to the height of it, and then the descent.

And descend we will. Onwards now to the darkest of days. There is a thrill to this season that massages all our dreams, wounds and introspections.  This simple ritual and incantation open the door to whatever may be.

Blessings!

There's a lot happening in my life right now, and There's a lot happening in my life right now, and to be honest none of it is easy,  but walking the Wise Woman path keeps me grounded and returning to center. 

On the old pastoral calendar, Autumn Equinox is mid-autumn.
Days shorten. Shadows lengthen.
The Spirits stir.

Why does this season feel so energetically charged Why does this season feel so energetically charged? Exhilarating, somewhat tinged with danger, pulling us deep into the psyche of the Underworld – the Dark Moon Season of the Year is a catalyst for rebirth. We descend, descend, descend! With Hekate, with Persephone, with ancestors, the Dark Mother, with all our soul’s longing to taste what matters and discarding the detritus.

This three-month journey may be the most impactful of the whole wheel of the year. I like to create small rituals for slow living during the Dark Moon Season.

1.  Slowing down activity – less multi-tasking, more presence to each activity.

2.  Cultivating slowness through singing, reading, writing, working crafts, naps.

3.  Taking time for prayer, co-creating dreams with the Universe, freeing the imagination

4.  Slow meals, conscious eating, slow chewing, blessing food, conversation at the table

5.  Presence to thoughts, noticing the slowness, deep listening to messages from the Underworld.

6.  Relishing, long, quiet evenings

One of the most frequently asked questions from my One of the most frequently asked questions from my writing clients is… am I doing it wrong? Every person who has asked me that has been doing it right. The reason is that they are following their intuition on how they function as writers. Sure, there are tips I can offer on how to stay on pace if they have a deadline, or we can dig around to truly know their process according to their personality, habits, lifestyle. We can explore their fears about writing – but there is no one formula that will work for everyone.
I’ve had writers who can only write between 6 and 9 in the evening, all other hours are dead flat in inspiration. I’ve had writers who power-speed through their manuscripts, barely taking a breath. Some can only write between 3 and 6 a.m., and almost none of them could make anything happen within a strict schedule or formula.

"Sit down every day and write something, anything", has worked for no-one in my sphere. Maybe it’s the type of client I attract, but I know that each of them had to flow with one thing… being open to the muse. When they show up, you show up. Wherever that muse is arriving from (mine is from the Pleaides), they don’t care about your schedule or time zone, they’re going to wake you up from a dead sleep and expect you to be pen in hand.

If you work with me on your book, I’ll be asking you to be you, not Hemingway. We’re going to break rules. And we’re going to have fun.

I did it. I’ve finished the proposal for my oracl I did it.

I’ve finished the proposal for my oracle deck!

My goal this year was to have it submitted by Summer Solstice, but the Universe had other plans. I had to put everything on hold to work on my surprise health diagnosis. (Oh, and welcome a new grandbaby!) There was a momentary thought of ‘oh no, the timing is ruined’ but then I remembered that there is no such thing as the wrong time – everything in its time.

As soon as I felt better I got back to it. Now I know, I know, most folks say don’t share about something that you don’t know will succeed. Wait until you have good news. It will be embarrassing if you don’t get the result you want.

But for me, the good news is that I finished what I started. That I had an idea and followed my creativity and believed in the idea my muse and I concocted.

So now, after some edits, and formatting, I’ll send it off with every bone in my body believing in it.

I work with writers on their creative projects and witness their emotions as they face the fear that their writing may ‘fail’, that it may have no value, that it’s not like what ‘real’ writer put together. And you know what? I have the same fears. And that’s OK. The fear signals that the writing matters to the writer.

I’ve been talking about this deck for about five years. The seed took its time to germinate.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
