Happy New~ Moon August 14th, 2015!!!!

Do you feel the lightness of this New moon? Ahhhh like a breath of fresh air! Like a gentle rain shower let this moon bring the best to you. Plant the seeds for things you would like to make lasting.

We are encouraged to nourish ourselves as we see fit.  What speaks to your soul? Perhaps that movie night with lots of yummy snacks calls to you or a day snuggled in bed reading, or a long walk in nature. Do it, enjoy it!

One thing that is flowing strong with this moon is creativity.  I will say this right off we are all creative in our own way. So own it and express it and let part of you flow out into the world in the best ways. Creativity is divinity calling out to be expressed.

Feel the spark of this moon and rock it in a way that is fully you! And yes do not forget the social side and merge with others too and see what sorts of grooviness you can bring to be.

Let that wonder flow and laugh and have fun and be. No matter your age.

Gentle reminder confidence is wonderful just keep it in balance and you will go further. 

Key words:  creativity, lasting

Affirmations:   I take a walk on the fun and creative side and revel in the elation of it.

Stone for this cycle:

Ruby: Encourages a passion for life and removes all obstacles in the way.  Promotes positive dreams.

Sardonyx: Brings lasting happiness, strengthens character and self-control.

The power of numbers

Have you noticed how this year has been a rather powerful one of change? It is because it is an 8 year; 2015 2+1+5= 8. Thus it is a rather good year for abundance and change.

This month just added to it with it being the 8^th month of the year. Have you felt the power of this month?

And today that sacred power of 3 is flowing in the cosmos as today is the 8^th so day month and year are all of 8. The significance of 3 is rather special. The sacred Trinity, divinity, growth,… and yes abundance.

Oh but let’s take it further, 8+8+8= 24 or taking it down more 2=4=6. This adds elements of harmony and love.

Oh and as that is not cool enough this is a power of three month also as this occurs two more times this month!!! On the 17^th (1+7=8) and the 26^th (2+6=8) Darlings The universe is gifting you with all this glory accept it run with and let life rock!

I find it cool that the infinity symbol is a sideways 8 as this year has been one of infinity possibility.

I wish you all boundless bliss and blessings in purest love

aho mitakuye oyasin, ☯ Namaste _/|\_ , Blessed be ☽O ☾

Happy harvest

Happy Lammas lughnasadh ,

This is a Celtic celebration named after the Celtic God of the sun Lugh (lughnasadh) Or as Lammas "hlaf," meaning "loaf" and "maesse," meaning feast.  It is a time to celebrate the first harvest, harvest of the grain.

Bread is sometimes bakes to honor the day.  Bonfires were made and stories told around them of the harvest.

It is a time to say farewell to the things past that do not serve us and honor the bounty of the harvest; the things that we are blessed with.

It was on a Lammas night,
When corn rigs are bonie,
Beneath the moon's unclouded light,
I held away to Annie:
The time flew by, wi tentless heed,
Till 'tween the late and early;
Wi' sma' persuasion she agreed
To see me thro' the barley.

The sky was blue, the wind was still,
The moon was shining clearly;
I set her down, wi' right good will,
Amang the rigs o'barley
I ken't her heart was a' my ain;
I lov'd her most sincerely;
I kissed her owre and owre again,
Among the rig o' barley.

I locked her in my fond embrace;
Her heart was beating rarely:
My blessings on that happy place,
Amang the rigs o'barley.
But by the moon and stars so bright,
That shone that hour so clearly!
She ay shall bless that happy night,
Amang the rigs o'barley.

I hae been blythe wi' Comrades dear;
I hae been merry drinking;
I hae been joyfu' gath'rin gear;
I hae been happy thinking:
But a' the pleasures e'er I saw,
Tho three times doubl'd fairley
That happy night was worth then a'.
Among the rig's o' barley.

CHORUS

Corn rigs, an' barley rigs,
An' corn rigs are bonie:
I'll ne'er forget that happy night,
Among the rigs wi' Annie.
