Moonlit Sunrise

FULL MOON

One night as she lay fast asleep,

Into her drowsy eyes,

A great still light began to creep

From out of silent skies.

It was the lovely moon, for when

She raised her dreamy head,

The surge of light filled the room

And streamed across her bed.

So, for a while, each gazed at each-

She and the solemn moon-

Till, climbing slowly on it’s way,

It vanished, all too soon.

By Walter de la Mare

It has been such a beautiful moon. The best time is in the morning when the moon is still bright while the sun is rising! For those few moments, both are shinning at the same time in a very delicate balance. Watching the moon fade slowly while the sky grows brighter is like listening to fine music, while sipping champgne :)

Since so many of us are being romanced by the same moon, I thought I would share an old full moon ritual ~ the origin is uncertain as it's been around for some time, and has been edited by many. Please talor it to suit your likes.



FULL MOON MEDITATION FOR REFLECTION AND INSIGHT

Under a full Moon, use a silver alter cloth with a small mirror and your journal placed on top, both bound together with a silver cord.
After setting your space, calling the elements, and centering yourself, then in thoughts or words, reach out to the goddess of your intent;


Crone of the Moon and of the night
Crone of wisdom and guiding light
Grant me your clarity and insight
To see clearly through the words I write


Burn lavender and pepermint with your favorite herbs.
Keep your journal near your bed, to write your thoughts just before going to sleep, and in the morning if you remember your dreams.

*Peace and Blessings *
