The moon as seen from Earth (NASA)
"Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and
transgress not against their appointed order."
from the ancient Book of Enoch.
Dear fellow Earthlings and Cosmic Dwellers,
I had intended to post this last night, but for some reason, I could not get into the Net till now. So, late as it is, here is something to help you clear away negative thoughts, beliefs and energies from your life.
The moon will be full tonight, a last bright fullness before she wanes, sending energies that can help us to let go, release, clear away those things within us that are tired, completed or limiting, so that we can bring in the changes that will enable us to grow and thrive.
Here is a simple ceremony that can help you to connect with those energies, and with the moon's blessing, release what you need to release from your life.
Preparation:
Sit quiet for a while to connect with your spirit. In that calm state, write down on separate slips of paper the things you want to release or change, things that you feel are holding you back in some way.
2. Choose a space where you can make a small fire and set aside a little time to perform the ceremony (preferably at night under the moonlight), alone or with others. (If you can't see the moon from your space, invoke her presence anyway).
Have one or two candles in that space.
(Please take sensible fire precautions).
Releasing Ceremony:
Calm your mind so that you feel fully present in the moment before you enter your chosen sacred space.
Cleanse the energies of your sacred space with a sage smudge stick, incense, or with a prayer. My spirit guide usually shows me rosemary, so I break off a small bit from my plant and burn that.
Invite your guides, angels, or whatever Masters you cherish to join your ceremony.
Light your candle/s. In the night air, breathe deeply as you gaze upon the moon, appreciating her beauty.
Try to keep your rational mind as quiet as you can, and respond to the moon however your intuition moves you.
One by one, read out loud the words you have written on each slip of paper.
As you read each, set your intention to release that thing/attitude/feeling etc. from your life, then set it alight.
When all your papers are burning, say aloud - BE GONE - or whatever clear directive comes to you. (Words have power, so feel the power in your words). Let your inner self guide you. If you want to sing your words, do. If you want to dance, do. Emotions are also very powerful. let yours flow.
As you put the fire out, thank your guide, Master, angels, and thank the moon for her releasing energies. (Make sure your fire is completely out. Throw the ashes into your garden, if you like, where they become nourishment for other things).
The next morning, you might like to write down what you want to bring or increase into your life, do or be more of or better etc.
OR, you might wait and do a Moon Seeding Ceremony with the new moon (Oct 5th) when her creative energies begin to surge forth again. I'll write about that later.
