The New Moon is Coming!

Blessings Everyone, 

The New Moon is coming!  It arrives at precisely 21:24 on Wednesday, July 15th. 

The New Moon is a time of new beginnings, hope, faith and optimism. It is very important, as it sets the pace for the entire lunar cycle. This means it’s also a great time to work with the Tarot. 

To find out what kind of energy this New Moon will bring you,   
request a New Moon Tarot reading from me at 50% off, to check in with your spirit guides, to learn what you should be working on during this new lunar cycle, and what you should let go. 

A New Moon Tarot reading includes :
 

Past:
Let's take a look at where you came from and see how it's affecting the present.

Present:

Where are you currently on your path?

Future:

Where is your path leading you? This card will give you some insight, so you can see if you want to adjust your path, or continue as you are.

What energy is this New Moon bringing you?

What should you release going into this lunar cycle?


What energy should you work on bringing to you this cycle?

What Spirit Animal is currently assisting you on your path and how can you best work with their energy? 


What do your Spirit Guides want you to know right now?


Ordinarily, an in depth reading like this would cost $50, but I am offering it to you for $25 to help get you balanced for this Moon period!

Click on the link and then enter your information in the New Moon Reading box at the bottom of the blog entry!  http://www.seastartarot.com/sea-star-tarot-blog

I look forward to hearing from you!

Namaste'

Blessings...



We certainly have a lot to be grateful for, as we pull the last of our loose ends together and head out on our new adventure towards the end of July. One of the things that I believe in is the power of the Moon and how this power helps us get our lives together. When I look at this picture, I see myself on the rocky shoreline of Maine next month giving thanks to Mother Moon for allowing me once again to enjoy my life on Mother Ocean aboard Evergreen.

If you would like to learn more about the power of the Moon and how to engage with Her visit the link:

The following is posted by Patti Wigington - one of my favorite resources:

July's full moon is known as the Blessing Moon, although it's also called the Meadow Moon. July was originally called Quintilus, but was later renamed in honor of Julius Caesar.

Correspondences:

  • Colors: Green, silver, blue-gray
  • Gemstones: Moonstone, white agate, opals or pearls
  • Trees: Ash and Oak
  • Gods: Juno, Venus, Cerridwen, Athena, Nephthys, Lugh
  • Herbs: Mugwort, hyssop, lemon balm
  • Element: Water 

This is a great time to do divination and dreamwork. Find a way to incorporate the watery energy of the Blessing Moon into your spell crafting and ritual. Enjoy the relaxing feeling of July's full moon and use it in your personal meditation.

Mother, Mother, Ocean...

June 18, 2015
Greetings and abundant “Thors” day blessing to Everyone!
Thor, mighty God of Thunder and protector of the common man, we honor you!
Some of you may be wondering how I will carry on my magickal practice when I return to the Sea.  Well, that’s an easy question to answer.  I will be in the powerful embrace of Mother Ocean. Aphrodite, Ishtar and Venus were called Stella Maris or Star of the Sea.  These Goddesses are very powerful indeed
In French la mere means mother and la mer means sea.
The sea is where Darwin claims that all life began.  People, have gathered their food from it, used the tides, and felt the powerful rhythm for thousands of years.
Jimmy Buffet says a bit about the lure of the Sea:
Mother, mother ocean
I’ve heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall
You’ve seen it all
You see it all
I’ve watched the men who rode you
Switched from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures
Few have ever seen
Most of them dreams
Most of them dreams
Yes I am pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don’t thunder
There’s nothing to plunder…
Sandra Kyne the author of Sea Magic says this:
Mother Ocean is that wonderful “in-between” place... Metaphorically, we step from the beach into the true currents of our lives. Here, awash in the natural world, we discover our own sacred balance.

Some people meditate for lengthy periods to reach that place in between the spiritual realm and Earth.  I will be so fortunate to be living there!  I’ll be able to actually feel the gentle movement of the floating boat while at anchor, or the surge of the sea as we plow through the water during a rollicking sail.  I can gather and bless the water for ritual, already prepared for me by Mother Ocean, and put it in a shell.  I can meditate beneath the outrageous shimmer of the stars at night.  Then when I climb out on deck in the morning I can enjoy my coffee while watching the sparkle of Sunlight dancing on the water, watch the dolphins and water birds play, and be ever amazed at the breeching whales.  This, my friends, is a world of wonder and delight, absolutely overflowing with MAGIC!!!
