With the end of 2015 comes a crazy mix of emotions and energy: the cold drives us indoors, gives us the feeling we should be hibernating, sleeping and eating, storing up our energy and assets; the holidays send us out into shops, out into the company of other beings to spend money and skyrocket our stress levels.
If we’re being honest, few of us are sure what in the Universe we are supposed to be feeling at this time of year. It’s supposed to be cosy and heartfelt, filled with family love and affection, right? Then why are we all so stressed and frazzled? We can literally feel the energy the air, the palpable sizzle of raised nerves and anxiety.
This isn’t just the electricity from all of the Christmas lights around. The Moon’s cycles bring about different energy and lessons for us all.
Thank goodness we finally moved out of our last Moon cycle (did anyone else feel the insanity peak on the Full Moon last month? I sure did!), but in the end, November’s Moon taught me so much! It really dredged up the energy I couldn’t recognize before.
In true Walks Tall Woman form, I was taking on WAY too much. I never seemed to have true time for myself, or for my relationship, and honestly, everything i cared about was kind of just getting half-assed.
Instead of scaling back, I bumped my vegan dessert deliveries to twice a week instead of just once and took on another coffeeshop. I was waitressing at one restaurant and trying to help another open. Trying to make youtube videos when I could. And exercising 5-6 times a week.
What happened? I got sick. I NEVER get sick. I made my morning delivery, then was bed bound for the rest of the day. This of course threw off my workout schedule and frustrated me even more.
In this, though, my mother came and visited me and so did my best friend of going on 14 years. They came and laid on my sick bed, discussed feminine power, and read tarot.
This sickness also made me SLOW DOWN. And that is Mountain Lion’s medicine for Walks Tall Woman.
Like, “Look lady, I know you’re awesome, I know you can keep up with the men. But please, chill out, turn inward and spend time with Goddess and the beautiful women around you! Remember, Walks Tall Woman created the Red Tent so that women can join together at such times and share their wisdom with one another."
When I recovered from my sickness a few days later, I chose to take more time off of work and go out of town with my mother and sisters. We cast spells and I had some awesome tarot readings (more on these later). I was able to retreat inward more than I had taken the time to earlier in the month and it was so worth it.
I’m so grateful for the time I was able to take to spend with my mother and sisters, in the Butterfly Goddess Lodge circle, and with my best friend this month.
I’m still trying to get everything back where I want it (have you noticed my lack of youtube posts in the last few weeks?) but give me a break - we just left that Moon cycle!
Let us give thanks for our recent New Moon in Sagittarius! Let us give thanks to this month’s Moon Goddess, Gives Praise. This month is the best time to remember that whatever comes, good or bad, it is the time to be grateful! Giving thanks is a tool, this time of year tends to bring either a lot of mess or a lot of abundance, and mostly we get to choose what outcome we see.
The New Moon opened yesterday at 4:29 am CT (10:29 am Universal Time), but we can usually harness the Moon’s energy up to two days before and after. Plus, it’s the 12th day of the 12th month - a super awesome time to work magick.
So, speak your intentions out loud today! And as it is 12/12, find some time for yourself at 12 noon today. Sit down with yourself and meditate for 12 minutes from noon until 12:12 and ask the Universe for ANYTHING you want. Asking never hurts! Say what you want for yourself this month out loud and remember: May It Be So!
I’ll start you off by sharing my own intentions for this moon cycle.
Intentions:
I will speak my Truth.
I will honor myself above all else.
I will put my energy into that which I love and which brings me true Joy.
I love every one of you Gods and Goddesses, make some magick today!!
Love,
Lace
