Harvest Moon

The Season of the Witch is here and I feel alive again! The Harvest Moon brings the best joy to me... I remember the first one I celebrated with my little coven here. We trekked all the way out to a farm and waited... Rebecca laid in a field, bored lol and the Tor and Ash played around in the grass by the side of the road. We never saw Her rise, so we left and went to get ice cream. From the parking lot of DQ, we saw Her. Huge and orange and stunning. Lesson learned... It doesn't need to be pushed. It needs to be natural. The way all my Magick comes to me. 

Today I celebrate another beautiful Harvest Moon. Another year of being a witch.

Solitude

Solitude by HannahCombs on Deviant Art

This Summer has been filled with hustle an bustle... not like in past years when everything seemed to be monotonous and stale.

We've been vigilant about doing things with the family, even if it's a day trip to the beach or the amusement park. Spending time with the girls has been a great treasure. And the gypsy in me... all of us... is nourished with those trips, wind blowing through the car windows...refreshing and banishing the yuk as we speed away.

Cheer has been a huge part of my Summer, but it has not totally taken over. I have finally found a balance there.

And I have even found the precious time to do many Magickal things for JUST ME. Lighting candles on the important days or just because. Banishing the bad, drawing in the good. I've been much stronger at Tarot and making sure to do at least a card pull... far more often than I had been. And I've taken up some Witchcraft studying... I do love learning new thing. Or in this case, things I have always known but reinforced through the reading and studying I have been doing. This AirWitch gets caught up and distracted so easily. Studying Witchcraft helps me focus where I know I need to be... building spirituality so that those bigger challenges can seem much smaller. I have been wearing amulets as well and I feel far more protected. I still remember sleeping with a ruby (my grandmother's) in my hand at night to ward of the evil eye from other witches. It's always been with me.

And Phee... she and I have really bonded this summer. We almost speak to each other. Head butts and purrs and a Witch speaking to her Familiar is better than anything I could have ever imagined. The connection I feel with her is beyond Magickal and I love seeing it grow as the warm summer days unfold before us. She truly is a Witch's cat.

I feel somewhat disconnected from the rest of the world of devices and internet... I sometimes feel as though I am missing out on big things and may never catch up with the world. But I have taken the time (when I find that quiet time) to make sure I connect at least with those most dearly loved. Another balance. And I have learned to let it go... if I miss a post or a picture or a comment, so be it. Unplugging is such great medicine.

A little Solitude is good for the soul.

Dark Moon filled with making wishes come true

I don't celebrate the Full Moon with much excitement other than looking forward to the first glimpse in the night sky and take some pictures. I do, however, take full advantage of the light to do Tarot Readings and seek the much needed answers to hard to answer questions. With all the light shining truth on everything, it's my perfect time for that kind of Magick.

But the Dark Moon speaks to me with all the Magick of a darkened night sky when I feel the nightkind watching me and protecting me. The darker, quieter, pulled-inward side of me thrills in all that darker Magick. There are no Tarot readings, or questioned asked. There is no light enough for that. Instead, I pull the nightkind closer to me and ask only for their guidance and the strength to do what needs to be done in the month ahead. New goals or dreams. New wishes to make come true. New possibilities and endless opportunities for the new month ahead. I ask that they keep me focused on those tasks, because I know a good strong breeze will blow and I will find myself forgetting what I was supposed to do.

This purple mosaic-style bulb becomes my light. For one night a month only. The night of the Dark Moon <3
