New Moon with Aphrodite – Radical Self Care Sisters ~ It is the New Moon and Aphrodite’s time has come… Born of sea foam from the ocean she rises – beautiful, radiant – Goddess of love, pleasure and fertility. She holds a mirror in her hand, gazing lovingly at her own reflection. She teaches us how to see ourselves through the lens of the divine feminine – loving every part of ourselves, especially our flaws and imperfections. Aphrodite’s message is one of radical self care. We must learn to love ourselves fully – our shadows and our light. When we see our imperfections as a integral part of our beauty we […]

Sacred Flow of the Waters…Let Go Full Moon of the Equinox Dear ones ~ This glorious Full Moon heralds the Spring Equinox and World Water Day (March 22nd). And She has guided me into an intense wave of Purification and Spring Cleaning. “Sacred flow of the waters…let go. Weaving our Love. Surrender, release, purify, go deep, Weaving our Love.” I find myself clearing out the cobwebs of the corners of my home and heart. As I gather bags of “stuff” to give away, I am also clearing away the energetic blocks and residue from my being – the last vestiges of Winter – creating SPACE for the Springtime flow. At our […]

New Moon in the Land of Devotion

On March 1, 2014 / Moon Mysteries, Priestess Stories / Leave a comment

New Moon in the Land of Devotion It was 8:30 am and our taxi ride from the airport left us at the boat to Lembongen Island. The first thing I noticed were the carefully made banana leaf boxes holding flowers that lined our paths. I soon confirmed that these were indeed offerings to the Goddess. I let out a deep breath and enjoyed a full body smile. I had arrived in Bali, land of devotion. Every morning the women prepare their offerings and bless the homes, roads, passageways, cars, gates…sending prayers of protection, health and happiness for all who cross these paths. I have discovered that the Balinese are kind, friendly […]

Full Snow Moon in Leo

Full Snow Moon in Leo Welcome to the heart-warming Full Snow Moon in Leo. Obviously most of us are still undercovers with seemingly infinite layers of white surrounding us. Brigid is still beneath the surface reaching her tiny fingers forth… But for at least this moment, our Lion-Hearted companion will warm us from the inside out bringing warmth to hearts and hearth. We have crossed the threshold of the New Year once again as the Wood Horse gallops in and the fire replaces the water at the center of the altar… but … it’s not so clear. This new year is marked by an intense shift of energies and a significant […]

She radiates her light through the darkness, reflecting a clear path for us on Mother Earth below. Let’s welcome Her in… If we open to Her, she will reveal to us all that we need to see and feel.

Full Cold Moon + Winter Solstice – December 2013 COMPLETING THE DESCENT & REBIRTH OF THE LIGHT The Dark Mother is very present right now on this Full Cold Moon approaching Winter Solstice here in the North. Can you feel Her? She is Lilith, beautiful Goddess of feminine empowerment, liberation, and sexuality — greatly misunderstood and feared today by the collective consciousness of thousands of years of of patriarchal culture. Legend tell us that Lilith was Adam’s first wife, made from the same Earth as his equal. When she absolutely refused to subordinate herself sexually and in all other ways to Adam, she was demonized. Mythologically represented as an irresistibly seductive […]

Full Beaver Moon Mystery – November, 2013 THE ART OF INVOCATION Invocation is the power of calling in specific energies to support you as needed and desired. Using the power of spoken word or song, we draw that divine power into ourselves so that we fill with that energy and presence.

We are in the middle of the Descent into Light. As we journey deep inside we feel the darker parts of ourselves. […]

Descent into Light – Full Hunter Moon 2013 THE HEROINE’S JOURNEY The full glory of the Hunter’ Moon signals the fading away of the Harvest Season. The beautiful leaves are falling in droves from the trees. The last of the harvest crop is collected and stored. The final preparations for the cold, dark winter ahead are being completed. Ideally we have integrated the resources found in the time of balance that we explored in our last Full Moon Mystery. We have begun the process of turning inwards while remaining active in the bustle of preparations. We have felt the early morning frost and brisk winds and nourished with the fall harvest […]
