September Full Harvest Moon


Harvest Full Moon is on September 24th
The full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon. This Moon is not just the full Moon that occurs at the time of the harvest. It is the full Moon that actually helps the harvest by providing more light at the right time than other full Moons do.

The autumnal equinox is the first day of fall. It is celebrated by many different cultures and plays a significant role in some beliefs .For most people, fall is a time that ushers in harvests, preserving food for the upcoming months, enjoyment of the colors of the changing leaves and beginning to prepare oneself both physically and psychologically for the upcoming colder months. 

The energy of this full moon is one of gratitude for the beautiful harvest physically , mentally, emotionally and spiritually for there is so much to be grateful for ; as well as releasing inhibitions and fears as we prepare to enter the colder season , that representing hibernation, meditation and deep contemplation.


Full Harvest Moon Ceremony:

Open Sacred Space - you can use a prayer or simply set your intentions asking for your higher self/ creator to enter your space and allow all that will be done to work towards the benefit of yourself firstly and all around you.

Items Required - (for those that did the New Moon in Virgo practice we will be using the cord / ribbon from that practice)  A ribbon / cord, pen and paper.

Set Intentions - Close your eyes and visualise in your minds eye a seed, from this seed observe its process of piercing the earth rooting itself and growing into a beautiful tree that will itself  produce fruit bearing seeds.
Acknowledge the stage of growth that you are in your life compared to the growth process of this tree, from here write down 7 things you desire to release to the universe, these can be things you desire or things that serve you no more I recommend having a good mix of both.
Write these down on a sheet of paper.

Meditation - Take the ribbon / cord in your hand and ask your guides / teachers to assist you with releasing this energy to the universe, for each desire or thing that serves you no more tie a knot in the ribbon / cord, really FEEL the energy in your heart of this desire when tying the knot (for those that did the New Moon in Virgo Meditation dig up your container with the ribbon reconnect with each knot).When it feels right focus on each knot and repeat the following as you pull each knot in gratitude "As above, so Below, as Within, so Without, I release my desires to you Great Spirit".
When you have released all knots keep this cord / ribbon as a totem , a reminder that you have released these desires / intentions view it as a receipt from the universe and burn the paper blowing the ashes outdoors.
Allow some time in silence reflecting on the release and allowing yourself to be fully present in the moment for any guidance you receive.


Close Sacred Space - Upon completion Thank Great spirit / grand mother moon and the energies called at the beginning of the ceremony for allowing this opportunity to channel this nights energy into the release of your desires towards the betterment of yourself and all you meet.

Energy of Full moon present 2 days before and after so you will have time to practice this ceremony.

May Full Flower Moon


May's Full Flower Moon, also called Mother's Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon, marks a time of increasing fertility with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom.

The month of may in jamaica has many special and celebrated days, teachers day, mothers day and is also celebrated as childs month.

The energy during this period of time is showing our appreciation , care and consideration.

As nature itself fully shifts into spring, blossoming, and blooming we are called by the energy of this moon to reflect and show our gratitude for all that is present, all that has past, and all that is to come.

The ceremony I have been guided to share for May 29th full moon is that of a Gratitude Ceremony.

Whether or not you practiced the New Moon in Taurus Ceremony  the ceremony below allows you to connect with Mother Earth, the Plant kind, Great spirit and all the forces of nature that have been nurturing us from birth.


May Flower Moon Ceremony


1. 
OPEN SACRED SPACE you can use a prayer or simply set your intentions asking for your higher self/ creator to enter your space and allow all that will be done to work towards the benefit of yourself firstly and all around you.

2. Create a physical sacred space somewhere that allows you to observe the moon or the moonlight is prefered , no calls , no emails , just connecting with the nurturing forces of the universe (any totem or item of significance is also recommended to keep in the space during this time could be a stone, pendant, pen anything that you are connected to through a memory or thought on an emotional level).

3. In this Sacred space begin by bringing your attention to your breath, give thanks for the connection we have with the plant kind for we give them carbondioxide and they give us oxygen.
Give thanks to mother earth/ Pacha mama / Atabei for grounding, providing us the fruits of the trees, the water from the rivers, our Home.
Give thanks to grand mother moon / Bibi Kati / Karaya for her light, for the energy you feel around you at this moment, for guidance in the unknown darkness of the night.
Give thanks to great spirit, really sit down as a family, or friends, or by yourself reflecting on all the things you have to be grateful for at this moment right now, all the teachers you have learned from , all the life lessons received, the awareness that alot of what you did not understand at one point makes total sense right now.
Finally give thanks for the unknown , for again you will in time understand many of the queries that baffle you now and see the sense in your lifes path.

4. Place your hands in prayer pose before your chest and say your prayer of gratitude, following that spend 2-4 minutes in silence, hearing the wind and the sounds of nature that have always been with us, watching over us, caring for us, guiding us (if with a group recommended to hold hands and spend some time sharing what each member is grateful of another member for, the recipient of the gratitude will then choose someone else from the circle to appreciate openly).

5.When your ready make a conscious decision to touch a plant with gratitude in your heart for the oxygen you receive everyday without asking for it, being aware so too the things you ask for will be granted in a manner that benefits not only you but all those around you (not necessary for this to be done the same night of the ceremony).

6.
Give thanks to your spirit guide / creator and close your sacred space.

 Energy is present 2 days before and 2 days after New moon so you have time to practice.

Love and Light

New Moon in Capricorn


New Moon in Capricorn Jan 16 2018
A New Moon a moment to halt, spend time within and focus on our desire for the coming Full Moon.
A new moon gets us to prepare for it by emptying out everything that precedes it.
This event, like all astrological occurrences, are cyclical ones. In preparing for the next go around we can lay down what we think we should do in order to make space so that we might be more attuned to what our lives are asking us to do. We lay down our small will in order to reconnect with the larger one that guides our life.
It’s good to put the ego on hold.
The sign of Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. This planet got its name by the Roman god with a complicated role and many associations. He was considered the god of generation, dissolution, plenty, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. Later on, he was assigned his important role as the god of time.
Capricorn is a sign that represents time and responsibility, and its representatives are traditional and often very serious by nature. These individuals possess an inner state of independence that enables significant progress both in their personal and professional lives. They are masters of self-control and have the ability to lead the way, make solid and realistic plans, and manage many people who work for them at any time. They will learn from their mistakes and get to the top based solely on their experience and expertise.

Belonging to the element of Earth , like Taurus and Virgo, this is the last sign in the trio of practicality and grounding. Not only do they focus on the material world, but they have the ability to use the most out of it.

May we use this medicine and energy to organize our lives and  put a plan behind our visions.
