For as long as I can remember I’ve always taken my baths seriously, way before I knew the health benefits of half of the ingredients I was sprinkling into my bath; Lavender, rose petals, rosemary, dried chamomile, and sea salt just to name a few. As I got older and delved into my craft, I began to understand just how important that act of taking a bath before undergoing any kind of ritual was. Before calling in any energies, help or guidance from the gods or goddesses, or tapping into the higher powers, I felt it was so crucial to bathe. To cleanse oneself from any energies lingering from the last lunar cycle, to wash away any negative or stagnant...
☼WHAT IS LAMMAS?☼ On the eve of August 1st, Wiccans gather together to celebrate the first of their harvest festivals, which is named Lammas, or Lughnasadh - pronounced “Loo-nah-sah”, named after the feast of Lughnasadh in honour of the Celtic Sun God “Lugh”. Lammas is the first of the three Sabbats that honour the grain harvest, a time for gathering in and giving thanks for abundance. It is at this time of year we are called to observe and become aware that a change in season is coming, and celebrate the first signs of our intentions manifesting. It is here we give our thanks, and look forward to reaping rewards from the seeds we planted earlier in the year. We...
We are closing out Cancer Season with a double New Moon in Cancer, the sun and moon together in the sky again, this time at 28 degrees, closing out the end of Cancer Season with a giant cosmic cuddle. This moon is deeply nurturing, one that is asking us to come home to ourselves. New Moons are a time of renewal, of checking in, sitting in the darkness and allowing ourselves to open up, and initiate in some new wisdom. This is your time of introspection and possibility of new beginnings. During the dark moon energy we can tap into its power to initiate new growth. This is where we are given permission to sit and be still, to listen to...
We are at the midpoint of the year, and we are heading straight through the Eclipse Gateway, journeying through the portal of Divine Union. As we navigate our way through Eclipse Season, we can start to notice themes unfolding for us, we have been shown glimmers of what it is that needs to be transmuted within each of us an individual but also within the collective as a whole. The Capricorn Lunar Eclipse at 22 degrees on 4th/5th July is here to help us deal with our shadow, ultimately bringing a wave of energy needed to release any hidden fears we may be holding on to. The last eclipse dealt with karma, and this next moon cycle offers us a...
On June 20th-21st we have a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign of Cancer, falling just moments after the Summer Solstice, making this the most powerful New Moon of 2020. The New Moon falls at zero degrees of Cancer, and zero degrees of any zodiac sign is a powerful portal that represents a world of infinite possibilities. A New Moon is always for setting new intentions, and when it lands on zero degrees, this means this is a cosmic reset, a blank canvas for us all to create a new future. On June 21st, as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer, we experience the Solstice, a moment where the Sun “stands still” as it reaches its farthest...
