Re-connect with Goddess: Aquarius New Moon
As I sit in front of my altar for the upcoming New Moon in Aquarius on Jan. 20 with Goddess Freya and my mentor, Francesca De Grandis close by, I contemplate, I channel, I remember and I write.
I need this New Moon Time to re-connect with God/dess, to be with my community and to receive inspiration that I share with all of you.
I don't blog to share my woes, but instead to share glimpses of brilliance, of Faerie, of hope and magick.
Sapphire's Song (to be sung outside to the New Moon)
I am blessed O' Mother to be here at Your birth To sing Your name O Goddess Divine Moon Mama To sing wooohooo To be silly AND strong For Aquarius calls us to be Trickster AND Divine We ARE the bridge to You to You to You.
Creative Soul Guidance and Oracle Card Pick: Now the real work begins
Relax into the flow. It is the time of the Water-bearer (New Moon in Aquarius) although Aquarius is actually an air sign; bringing water and air together which is also what's happening astrologically as Venus and Mercury conjoin in the sky. Love/emotions (water) and thought/communication (air) come together and the air is fragrant with it - what do you smell?
Stay on track with the loves of your life. Who and what are they? Give thanks. Let this love and the love of the Divine wash over you; melt into it; feel your body awash in love and blessings. Don't hold onto it - share it.
Then open your eyes and send that love out through your heart and back into the world and with an open heart and mind, set your intentions for the moonth ahead.
Also, be aware that Mercury Retrograde is coming up on Jan. 21 until Feb. 11 and plan accordingly. There may be delays, miscommunication and set backs so it's a good time to review and revise, not charge full steam ahead.

Follow Your Heart: Full Moon in Cancer
Moon Girl by Kathy Crabbe
It's the Full Moon in Cancer on Jan 4th along with the New Year, but I am not setting intentions O Moon,
I am allowing myself instead to sink into Your arms to be held and rocked and bathed in Your beauty as I paint You. Capturing instead nothing more than Your shine which rubs off on me Threefold as I pray to dance Your song for ALL my days.

Into the Dark: Winter Solstice & New Moon in Capricorn
Dear Creative Soul, When I sat down in my shamanic New Moon Circle to honour and celebrate the upcoming Winter Solstice and New Moon in Capricorn this is what I channeled:
Oh Winter, Cailleach, Ancient Crone, Dark Night, I listen to your Silence and I hear the cauldron bubble and the owl hoot. It's time now to go within, to the dark, dark place where death and ice dance our name. Beneath the earth we enter Her barrow, Her cave at sunrise, Solstice morn. First light we see touches our third eye through this opening: the Light...the Light...she does return and within her, Hope and Dreams and Seeds are planted. It is the New Moon in Capricorn so let us plant these seeds, these dreams and tend Her garden for we are called...YOU are called...the wheel turns and we reply:
I AM Goddess I AM God I AM the Light I AM the Dark I AM holding Circle Blessed Be
Demon by Kathy Crabbe (Creative Soul 'Lefty' Oracle Card)
Creative Soul Card for the New Moon & Winter Solstice: Demon
Affirmation: Into the dark you go: be guided, be brave, let go.
The lore is ancient when She was venerated and He was equal to the task. Blessed Be the Balance is shifting now ~ can you feel it? Describe. Take a moment of silence, meditation, contemplation then journal and discuss.
My Winter Solstice Vision As for me: I feel at peace; calm, quiet, centered. The darkness is velvety. I am surrounded by my guides, totems and star beings. I lie down and they bless me as my third eye tingles. The Hag, the Cailleach and I peer into her cauldron and I get in ~ to die and be reborn. I wait for the perfect moment; the moment of Solstice, to be born as light returns. I scream then I sleep; a new day has come.
Intention Setting for the New Moon Let go into darkness and as you are re-born and the Sun returns, it's time now to set your intentions for the moonth ahead. Don't forget to journal too!
