HARVEST MOON FRIDAY 13 SKYCLAD

FRIDAY THE 13TH HARVEST MOON

MAGIC - RECONNECTING - PURPOSE 

Author, astrologer and psychic reader Yerevan writes about the September 13th moon: "Right now the Harvest Moon is growing full now in the sign of Pisces, heightening moods and memories. This is an extra Neptunian Pisces Moon and the perfect time for prayers, meditations and rituals involving release and spiritual healing."

Why is this day deemed unlucky? Murder, betrayal, lies and grief happened.

Some Christian believe it's the day Jesus was betrayed and/or crucified on Friday the 13th. A sad time indeed for those who follow Jesus' life teachings, but it's also believed He knowingly and willingly gave His life so others might be enlightened. 

In what way do you sacrifice for the betterment of another or others? Today be grateful you share love and kindness for you are also loved. Let another or others treat you royally! Accept help, act needy for a moment, treat yourself. Accept thank you without saying, "It's nothing." for your kind acts are truly something important. So Mote it be.

October 1307 on Friday the French King Philip IV ordered Grand Master Jacque de Molay and many other French Templars to be arrested, charging them with financial corruption, fraud and secrecy, and idolatry. They were tortured and later burned at the stake. I believe it's easy to say  it was the great wealth of the Templars that led to their deaths. 

Who has betrayed you? In what way have you suffered consequences from being unfairly judged? Today, stand up for your self, whether that be out loud or by  pulling away from those who injured you emotionally, psychically  and/or mentally. Free yourself from their betrayal by no longer speaking their name(s). In fact, write their name(s) and if you have a photograph, place both name and photo in a fire safe container, burn them, erase them from your life - or if you are still in that relationship write the deed of betrayal and burn that to free yourself from that time so it hold no more power over you. So Mote it Be. 

Find a quiet or joyful place or person or animal to hang out with to return to your true self.

Luck: I've always said I'm a lucky person. Make this 13th Friday a lucky day for yourself. Luck is about timing, knowledge, belief in your dream or goal and bravery to act. Carry a Lucky Charm - that something you think or believe gives you a bit of luck. 

The Harvest Moon: Before electricty and in some countries, still, the time comes to harvest crops before the cold and long dark nights set in. The bright light from the moon gave the farmers that chance to be out later to gather their crops. 

Skyclad: Naked to the world. Clad only in the beauty of nature under the light of the moon and stars or the bright warmth of the sun or the beauty of your sacred space. During this full moon, dance and sing, pray and mediate your full glory - the birthday suit, free of clothing. You can wear a sacred or magical piece of jewelry if you wish.

Winter Solstice is about hope, life, love and the belief in a better future. It's a time of Light - coming from the Darkness into New Times.

On Winter Solstice (12/21) the ritual begins with preparation: take a bath and add rose water, or an oil to calm your mind and body; turn your thoughts inward to your personal power, the truth of you; your abilities, talents, skills; that which makes you unique (we all are).  

After your bathing is completed write a list of negative thoughts you might harbor, actions that caused disharmony for yourself or another, and include any experiences in the present year you wish to leave behind and not repeat again. Burn the competed list in a fire safe container. The ashes you will cast out into nature, perhaps a moving body of water.

Now, make a list of your dreams for the coming time. Think about how spring time brings a sense of hope and joy - a time to grow your dreams into experiences. Keep that list for now.

When dried completely and brave to go skyclad (naked), or wear a robe - go outside and gaze up to the night sky. If the weather doesn't permit you to be comfortable or safe outside open curtains or blinds so you can look up at the night sky. 

If you feel ok outside perhaps you'll go Skyclad (naked to the world).  Skyclad - nothing between you and the sky, nature. Connection to a Divine Source in the Naked Truth. Not identifying yourself through clothing. A Holy Time.

You can chose to wear a sacred or magical -  special to you - piece of jewelry and if you wish, a cape, but leave it open so the freshness of nature fills your pores. Yes, the cold, or cool air tingles your physical, mental and spiritual being to feel life within and around you.

Look up to the skies, open your arms wide and feel the power of the the moon surge through your entire being; embrace the stimulating energy.  

The 2018 Winter Solstice is a powerful one with the full moon and meteor showers. But any moon has its own feel and message. You will know it.

LONG DARK NIGHT’S MOON

A view from the moon

The time of the longest nights has come, and 

the Lady of the Night, The Cold White Moon, rules supreme.

She wheels through the heavens above a white world, as if her 

power were transforming the earth into her own image.

Moonlight glitters, from frosted branches, sparkles from fields of 

new-fallen snow. The air tingles with energy.

Now, in this time of greatest darkness, the Moon is pregnant with light.

The stars dance around her in the heavens, and Earth blossoms 

with a million points of brightness.

Out of the darkness the new year is born.

So Mote it Be.
