July New Moon
Hey look! A Moon Shadows post! That was the original intention of this blog. It looks like I stopped doing the Moon Shadows work in Ferbruary; well, it wasn’t long after that, but I don’t think it worth it to try to recreate those missing entries. Moving forward…
As before, the bold text is from the Diana's Grove Mystery School Moon Shadows journal.
Belief
New Moon - July 14
During the time of the new moon, the land calls to the wild within you.
The wild believes in you. From the shadows of the stones, the brambles and the stars, a wild voice is calling. Listen. Step outside your door, outside your tower, into the night, to your own wild borders – and beyond.
Reach for the wild
A Celtic Cross, spread before you, and – we come to what covers you. What do you believe? And what believes in you?
Tam Lin asked Jennet to believe in him. And here is a secret that is powerful beyond imagination – the wild believes in you. It must. It must, because, just as you long for magic, the wild yearns for its magic to become part of reality. And for that, dear Mystery, it needs you. No wonder the wild knows your name so well.
Magic and reality, and you as the bridge between. So will you put down your work? Lay it aside, lay it in your lap, close your eyes and listen. Outside, the land and the shadows are calling. Within you – do you feel your own shadows answering? Kin to kin, wild to wild – let the wild mystery within you answer, and step outside, into the night.
Wild without – will you listen to the call?
From the shadows under the trees, the stars, the crescent moon, how does the wild call to you? What voice does it use, when it asks you to believe magic exists?
The wild knows I want to be larger. To be a part of something larger. To make a difference. To let go of my attachment to small things. Petty things. It knows this, and it whispers in my ear that it is possible.
From the wild without to the wild within –
Tam Lin asked Jennet to have faith, and believe. When you reach into your own wild shadows, what do you find to believe in?
A local organized Pagan community which offers some of the things a church does. Support for families. Study groups. Celebrations. Scouting. Meets the needs of its members.
What happens when you act on that belief?
Things actually happen! I don’t know why this should surprise me. If, instead of sitting and feeling blue and thinking nothing will ever turn out, I schedule a lunch date with a friend to plan an upcoming event, the event gets planned. Like magic!
Name this new moon for what you believe in.
This is the new moon of . . . Making it happen.
