The longest journey ever...

Waiting's worth
So it's been about 60 full days since my last post.  Honestly, I just needed time to heal, reflect, and learn about me.  And to do that is not an external process for me, it's all about going within, but trust and believe what I have put on paper today will be well worth the wait.


Pisces presents
The appropriate timing of this post at the beginning of the Pisces Lunar Cycle is just kismet.  Pisces, the well known double fish, is associated with all sorts of myth, allegory, and legend.  This time focuses on metaphysics, inner journeying, and personal awareness.

 Nearer to Neptune
The true core of Piscean lore is based on the ruling planet Neptune.  Neptune, a force at times hard to harness, rules the unconscious realm, altered states, deep waters, and duality, just to name a few.  I see Neptune as the ocean floors of our selves.  We know part of ourselves it exists, we know it is valuable, but very few of us are willing to take the time to dive down there to find its treasures, no matter how much we may need to do so.

Help is always there
Accepting the task to tap into our own deepest self is not a light task mainly because we really have no control of what we may unearth about ourselves.  But that is the blessing in all of it.  Whatever Neptune helps us to unearth he also benevolently gives us the tools what we need to release, process or absorb it.  If we are committed to our deep journeying and we enter and exit our darker parts safely (making sure to create complete rituals for accessing this information), we have nothing to fear.

My path winds too
Why the title the longest journey ever? Well, I myself am on a journey of transformation, self care, healing, and claiming of my powers (natural and supernatural). And I am not afraid to tell you there are times when I am not sure I will make it; times when I doubt that I know what I know and even times I question if I am doing the right thing. And almost like magic, an event, a person, a dream or even a knowing corrects it all and I am even more sure that this journey is right where I am supposed to be.  So yes, this journey is long, but really it's not, it is merely my perception at that very moment.  I guess I chose to use that language to say HEY we all are challenged when we explore our deeper, truer, more exposed selves. But on the other side know our perceptions will ultimately be different. All we are asked to do by the spirits is to show up, be present, and be open. Everything else just is.

What do we need to journey?
Below are tools I think can be helpful for taking your journey.  Please feel free to comment and let us all know what works for you.  The more we know, the more we can share.

Altar
A sacred space in your home where you can sit quietly and listen, dialogue with self and your spirits.  Color, objects, size and direction in your space is your choice, but once you have established this space you will be surprised the connections you are able to achieve on your journey.

Incense
Smell is just a spiritual trigger for us, so much so that we often are not even aware of how quickly we can be transported by the mere scent of something.  Set your Air Element free while working to journey.  The places you will have access to are infinite.

 Spiritual Tools
These are essential and also very personal.  I am not a proponent of one faith or practice over another, whatever resonates with your soul and assists with accessing that deeper self embrace it.  Also know that you have the ability to take from different ones what suit you.  All of this sound vague? Well it's meant to be because you MUST DEFINE this for yourself.  An example of basic tools can be jewelry, books, objects, candles, figurines, and statuettes, just to name a few.

  Firstly, the fullness Can you feel it? Did you see it? This morning at about 7:11am (EST) the moon reached it's fullness, in Sagittarius no less. This time of the lunar cycle is great for things to bubble over.  Now remember, that can be both positive or negative.  So, I say to us all, accept that extra energy we feel.  Don't shy away from the increased emotionality that is hovering over us. As I stated above this is a Sagittarius Full Moon, which means that the planet ruling this Full Moon is Jupiter, that benevolent, all knowing, and amazingly royal planet.  Look for positive surprises over the next few days or so.  Jupiter is known as a bestower of gifts, sometimes gifts that we thought were long forgotten about.  Now focus that energy inward To add spice to all of this right before that moon peaked this morning a lunar eclipse occurred. And remember eclipses are the ability to manifest our wants and desires more than other times of year...

Shining like the SUN....corner illuminations Bringing back the light. That’s what this waning phase is really about. During the waning moon emphasis should be on preparing for the coming new moon and removing things from your life that YOU ARE WILLING TO LET GO. That’s right folks, we are going to have to give up some or all of that emotional baggage we are carrying around for free. For all the times you have felt it was too dark to move, for all the days when you wished things were a little lighter, for each chance you realized you didn’t have enough light, here he is...LIGHT and in the brazen sign of Leo. It has been properly placed at the end of this calendar you. Are you seeing a setup, I think so. I know for me, this waning time is going to focus on my ritual process and me as a ritual process. I am going to use this light to shine into every part of ritual I create, intuit, and recall from my ancestral memory. Also, I want to take into the new calendar year a pers...

Let us not forget the Leap Year

credit: theoriginof.com Look what leaped in? Once every four years we are gifted with an extra day, some extra energy, an additional chance to get it right! Well on this coming Wednesday, that opportunity comes up yet again.  I prescribe we think less of a Leap Year as the year of governmental leadership, but rather it's the year we take that necessary step towards our empowerment.  Having said that, let's check where things are "lunarly" this Leap Year.   Watch as it waxes At this point in the cycle we have moved out of the New Moon space and we should all be diligently working towards our intentions.  This phase of the moon is called "Waxing", meaning we are actively building and constructing our paths each and every moment.  No second guessing, just movement and strides right now.  This Leap Year is aligned with the Waxing Half Moon in Gemini, which some of us may know is Mercury ruled.  Yes, Mercurial energy can be tricky, but knowing t...
