LIGHTING THE TRIPLE GODDESS CANDLES
White for the Maiden ~ Red for the Mother ~ Black for the Crone

"Three Candles I do Light
In Honor of Thee, O Goddess this sacred Night
White for the Maiden pure as Snow
Red for the Mother full within, and
Black for the Crone, old and wise"

Or you can light one candle for your patron Goddess.

If you are outside, you can spend some time looking up at the Full Moon and talking to the Goddess. If your inside  you can write your Goddess a letter. Explain what you are grateful for, what your releasing, and what you want to manifest. Pour your heart out to the Goddess. Feel Her love, light, and protection shining down on you. When you are ready, sit in stillness and ask Her if she has a message for you at this time. Listen to the wisdom of the Goddess as whispers Her guidance from your heart. 
You can either carefully burn your letter to release it, or I like to place my letter in a bowl filled with water and let them charge in the moonlight over night.
In this sacred space you a can preform a spell, create charm, or anything else you are inspired to do. Full Moon is the time to charge your crystals, magical tools, make moon water, and crystal elixirs.  Everything benefits from a powerful overnight moon bath! (Just remember to bring your items in before sunrise.) Place your items to be charged in a safe place where they will be in direct moon light. This can be an outside altar, on the ground, or in your window sill.

Pruning the Sacred Garden

Pruning the Sacred Garden… When we bought our home, I became the care taker of 5 big mature rose bushes. When they bloom, they are pink, yellow, red, and coral in color. Their blooms are big gorgeous flowers with a magical fragrance. They are a blessing to my home, neighbors, bees, and birds. In autumn however, their blooms are gone, and the bushes are dry after a long hot summer. They go fallow, and rest, waiting for the rain to come, so they can bloom again. Their old blossoms are petal less dry rose hips that lead to a dead end for growth. Until pruned and tended there will be no more blossoms. Today was the day, I found my heavy leather gloves, sheers, and the small chain saw, and went out to clear the way for new growth, new blossoms, and new blessings. Tomorrow night is the November full moon, a time when I reflect on what I need to release, so I can make room for the intentions I am co-creating with the new moon. After gathering the rose hips, I whispe...

Protecting Your Vibe and Space

Protecting Your Vibe and Space Throughout our day, we are bombarded with energies. We encounter energy everywhere we go, with every interaction, and person that we meet. We pick up the energy as we scroll on our phones, and with each message we receive. This wears on our serenity and spiritual fitness. Spiritual fitness is important so that we can receive energy channel it, and decide how to respond (not react) appropriately. One of the first types of protection is protecting the energetic body. One of my favorite ways of protecting my aura or energetic body, is through a simple bubble meditation. I do this to start my day,  before giving someone Reiki healing, or when I know that I'll be interacting with a person who may be considered an energy vampire. I protect my energy and my serenity with this simple meditation. I close my eyes, and focus on my breath. In my mind's eye, I go for a little walk nature. There's a path that I particularly like to walk down...

Connecting to the Goddess

Goddess Luna~ acrylic painting 2017 I was blessed to have been called by the Goddess at the age of 15 years old. In the beginning She seemed a distant, and intangible being, and I only felt close to her when I was out in nature. When I was 25, I dove into my spirituality with an enthusiasm I never had before. I was in search of a Higher Power. A power greater than my addiction, a power to help me recover. My life depended on it. I remember my mentor saying it didn't matter what Higher Power I chose, but I should have a relationship with it and I should have a name for it. I was unable to do that at that time, and so all my prayers began the same. "Dear God and Goddess, thank you for another day clean..." I am so grateful for that simple prayer and the peace and serenity it has brought into my life. As time has gone on my spirituality has evolved and so has my relationship with the Goddess. Today, I am familiar with her many names, forms, cultures, and histor...
