Tarot + Meditation + Astrology + Ritual + Healing
Acquire all that you will need for your new moon ritual during the dark moon. You will require seeds or seedlings, a pot to plant in or a well-nourished garden bed and a fully cleared amethyst crystal. Ideally purchase a new amethyst and bathe it in salt water to clear any residue from its travels…
There are two distinct schools of thought about eclipse ritual. Some see it as supercharged and thus supremely powerful. True enough. Some know the energy to be erratic and unusual and thus the outcomes are never precisely as we envision them. True again. Given that intention is everything when it comes to ritual and spellcrafting,…
All too often we still feel tethered to the energy of something or someone. Yet we know intuitively that it no longer serves us and that it is time to move on. Cord cutting rituals are a wonderful way to energetically sever a connection. Best performed as a meditation in ritual space, they remain a…
Forgiveness is powerful medicine. A full moon is a wonderful time to let go but this ritual can similarly be enacted on the waning phase of the lunar cycle or at the dark moon. Our life yet to come begs us to make peace with our past. Prior to the ritual, think carefully about who you…
That old chesnut. By its very nature, refusing to forgive hooks us to precisely the stuff we’re trying to overcome and then move far from. We cling resolutely to our anger – and the fight – because it feels like forgiving the transgression condones it and lets the perpetrator off lightly. Our very real desire…
Not all moons are created equal. The syrupy depths of the dark moon hide treasure in their treacle. They reward your surrender. Some days and in some lives a tall order. The dark moon is always heavy. It fatigues us if we fight its imperative to slow, to still. Only in the quiet of the…
As the second part of this series designed to prepare you for eclipse season by relinquishing another chunk of thy shadowy shit, today we peer at our shame. Oh the dark weed that takes root within us and demands we hide ourselves beneath it. Shame springs from where we have been marginalised, taunted or degraded…
The dark moon is the best time, every single month in a row, to clear the decks and make space for What Comes Next. And there is nothing that tethers us quite as effectively to the past than the blame game. Childish, pointless and disempowering in the extreme, blaming others for where you find yourself…
Our next cab off the retrograde rank is weepy wunderkind Chiron, emblem of our overcoming. Oh yes he bloody is. Enough with the wounded healer victim consciousness and the kind of stinking thinking and gross poor me-ing that keeps you tethered to your greatest wounds. Chiron endured despite the poison arrow in his side and…
Righto darklings, it is time to stand your collars up and steel thyselves for Eclipse Season. Consider it ON and writ large from now as we stare down three changemakers coming at us hard and fast over the next six weeks. And you thought two was lifechanging. The players are beginning to take their places….
