Merry Meet, friends!
Once again we have the opportunity to draw amazing energy from the Full Moon.
There are many names for this moon. Neo-Pagans refer to this as the Awakening Moon. The name makes perfect sense when you think about everything that is awakening from winter.
Celtic's refer call this the Growing Moon. English Medieval call this the seed moon and Colonial American's used the term, Planter's Moon. If you've not done so already, now is the time to plant seeds.
While this is the 'growing moon', the time between Full Moon and New Moon is the time to plant root plants, whether they are vegetable of floral rhizomes, for productive growth. I also realize this is not the best time to plant above ground seeds for optimum growth but with illness and injury the past few weeks, if I wait until the next rotation everything will have too late of a start.
I have a trip coming up mid-month. Please send all the positive energy my direction as Bob will be in charge of keeping those little seedlings alive about 10 days. LOL Last time, he didn't do so well. He forgot to open the green house and let air in. He fried those poor little leaves. :-) But he tried. He's just never done any of this before and didn't know any better.
Use this time as an awakening of your spirit. Stand in a shower (I love to do this in a gentle rain) and let the past gunk that cluttered your life and body over the past few months wash away. As the symbolic dirt flows away, think of all the other things in your life you want to let go of. Make a plan. Me, I'm getting rid of a lot of my paperbacks. Not sure where they're going yet, but they're leaving my office.
I hope you enjoy this new cycle.
Blessed Be!
