New Moon in Scorpio | Moonthly Energy Report — Spirit de la Lune

Good Witches Homestead

This New Moon in Scorpio is a very intense and emotional one. Many of us have been feeling the depths of this New Moon for several days now. Not only is it election time… but both the Moon and the Sun are in Scorpio right now. This means our inner world and outer world are both feeling that intensity and rawness that Scorpio can bring.

Venus is just now getting out of Scorpio, but you may still be feeling her, as Venus is still in her “Shadow Period.” Venus, the planet of love, has been retrograde in Scorpio the house of darkness and transformation since October, and won’t go direct until the 16th of November.

This will take a lot of pressure off of our relationships, as we are able to see things a bit clearer with the balancing help of Libra. Just as Venus goes direct, Mercury goes retrograde…

How to Regenerate Your Body, Mind, and Soul with the New Moon in Scorpio

Dear all,

The New Moon in Scorpio this Wednesday is one of the best astrological events we’ve had since the beginning of the year!

This New Moon in Scorpio aligns with both Neptune and Pluto in a very harmonious way at the same time when Jupiter (also still in Scorpio) connects to a powerful energetic vortex in Cancer.

This translates into a huge energetic support for those of us who are ready to deeply transform our lives — like the Phoenix — one manifestation of Scorpio energy — rising out of the ashes.

Good things are on the horizon and the more we consciously work with this energy — the stronger the manifestation will be.

So how do we do that?

Day of the Dead: Ritual and Ceremony

Little is firmly known about the particulars of today’s holiday since the limited sources available are either folkloric literature like the Celtic sagas or Roman authors who would have likely “trashed” the traditions of a culture with which they were often in conflict.

Although, you can kind of imagine what really went on back then. Different cultures around the world gathered in a ceremony to honor their ancestors on and around November 1st. This sacred day was often known as a cosmic aperture, where the veils get thin, and the souls from “the other side” can contact us with more ease. There’s plenty of written experiences where people have encounters with spirits or ancestral anecdotes from all over the world regarding the ceremonial processing of these mystical energies. Samhain, for example, is very well known as its a three day ancient Celtic pagan festival…

A Druid’s Guide to Herbalism, Part I:Harvesting by the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and Sacred Intent

The Druid's Garden

Field of Goldenrod in Fall

A field of goldenrod, nettle, and aster greet me on this warm post- Fall Equinox day. As the moon comes up with a sliver in the afternoon sky, I joyfully take my basket and harvest knife into the field for my fall plant preparations. The breeze has change on the air–winter is coming soon, and the sacred medicines I prepare will bring my family nourishment and strength for the coming dark half of the year. As we are well into the harvest season at this lovely Fall Equinox, I thought I’d take the time to talk about harvesting and preparation by the sun and moon and honoring the harvest. Next week, I’ll talk about the most basic plant preparations and we’ll end this series with talking about energetic preparations through the creation of flower and leaf essences. That is, we’ll talk about the medicine of…

Crystals for Shadow Work

Crystals for Shadow Work

It’s been a powerful year – release and regeneration have been the themes of 2018. In the process, many relationships, ways of being, communication styles, and other ingrained situations and habits have been considered, upended, and ultimately reformed or released entirely.

One consistency in all of this is that those things that have buried deep in our psyches have continued to come up in our lives – the stories, traumas, conditioning, worries, doubts, and secrets that we have tried so hard to push down keep rising for our examination. For those souls who haven’t been working continually to resolve lingering wounds, these issues are likely to have risen in an even more dramatic way, forcing heavy review. And as we prepare to head into Scorpio at the end of October, which rules the house of death and rebirth, those things that haven’t yet been addressed are likely to rise again for clearing.

How to Work with Obsidian

by Krista Mitchell (Original Source)

How To Work With Black Obsidian blog poster.jpg
Obsidian is a powerful crystal that supports shadow self healing, psychic protection from the dark arts, and increases psychic sight. Here’s how to work with it.

Meditate with it:

while working with your shadow self and to engage with your shadow
to overcome limiting beliefs, underlying commitments
to bring old wounds, fears, shame, denial to the surface
to resolve and release old beliefs and conditioning

Use it in crystal therapy:

to understand your shadow self and all the personal power that’s held within your shadow
in addition to working with a coach, therapist etc while making self improvements
to let go of all that no longer serves you
to understand the power of nighttime, altar of Hecate

Wear it daily:

as a protection amulet or to create a psychic shield around you
if you are being hit with witchcraft, dark energy from someone else as it will also repel other’s shadow
to create a shield around you as it is a very powerful self protection crystal often referred to as the witch’s stone
do not sleep with it as it can create disturbing sleeping patterns and keep you engaged with your shadow self and keep bringing up shadow stuff
while in therapeutic situations such as meditation, journaling, or while in rituals

Astrorisa Moon Forecast: Aries / Ogun Moon Aspects 9/24/2018

SEPTEMBER’S HARVEST MOON TIME

Hello Moon Followers and Subscribers!

from the Aries ~Ogun full moon report

“This is an illuminating moon time. A lot of self-discovery and revelations on many levels will occur. Aries, the archetype of Ogun rules this moon and Libra, the archetype of Oshun rules this sun during this lunation season. This is a strong moon time for many forms of expansion both positive and negative. With both sun and moon at 2° Aries / Libra, this can be a money making moon time for many, as a lot of opportunities will be presented. This is also a moon time which points towards relationship matters. Some people will gain easy access to minor and major success, while others will be presented with an opportunity to shine but they’ll have to work hard to see its completion. This moon time speaks of time being wasted by our own actions and the actions of others. It’s important to focus on what is most important and to prioritize our time and commitment…”

ARIES FULL MOON 2018 CRYSTALS + MY MAGICAL SPIN

By Krista Mitchell

Full moons are always phases of power, and it seems that the cosmos is constantly aligning in favor of us facing things, giving up things, engaging in deep healing, and catalyzing significant change.

Given the state of the world this isn’t surprising. Even yesterday I was teaching in class about Nature’s healing principle – nature’s impulse is always to heal.

And yet, as I was reading through astrology blogs to write this article, about Aries’ impatience and aggression, Chiron’s deep, archetypal wounding, and this moon that is going to engage us in facing our darkness and childhood sore spots, all I could think was “Ugh. I don’t want to write about this”.
