Dear Moon Muser,
I have missed sharing my life with you since the last New Moon! Last blog post I didn't get a chance to and I realized that what I love most in blogs is the personal touch and getting to know the person behind the work.
Winter here in Southern California is mild - very mild. A few of the trees are just now changing color: burnt oranges (Chinese Pistachio), yellow (Sycamores) and a few bright red maples. Dusk falls around 4:45 pm and it drops to almost freezing at night.
Samhain (Hallow's Eve) is the Witches New Year and I adore this dark time of the year, but also I'm so glad for the sun of SoCali. I am part Snake (born Year of the Snake in '65) and I appreciate the sun and warmth in the dead of Winter.
For added Fairy Winter Inspiration I'm reading: The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden, Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust and The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington.
My latest passion is Color Theory. I'm mixing, labeling, ordering and playing with ALL my watercolors and gouache on a much deeper and more analytical level, what fun! It keeps my Virgo, sixth house Sun active.
As we roll into the deepest of deep Winter days, I remember to quiet things down more and more. The busier the world gets the quieter and more contemplative one can be - this is the magick of the season.
With the New Moon in Sagittarius on Nov. 23 it's time now to set intentions for the moonth ahead, seeding your travels (Sag loves adventure) into worlds unknown, trusting in synchronicity to bring you all you need to expand and grow deeper, always deeper, darker, ever darker.
How are you inviting in the dark? Time to pull a card and find out.
Sparkly Winter Blessings,
