On The Bright Side

Happy full moon to all of you out there, if you can see it. It is stormy here tonight so the clouds are a good shield. But she peeks out every now and again and lights up the night.

This moon is called the Wolf Moon or the Cold Moon. It was called the Wolf Moon in colonial times because it was the time when hungry wolves came close to the villages. And the Cold Moon because… Well, it’s cold. And it sure was cold here today. There is a lovely winter storm.

Tonight we held a simple Esbat service here. Not only did we honor the moon, but we used magick to banish negativity and pessimism.

We used alter cloth of yellow and orange to bring positive thoughts. And purple for faith.

We used daffodils for hopeful thoughts.

We used pearls for compassion and thoughtfulness.

We used Myrrh for tranquility and serenity.

We used chamomile for tranquility and a calm spirit.

We used pine for optimism.

And we used oranges for encouragement and optimism.

I used a guided mediation to raise the energy to the heavens. I chose meditation as I was looking to instill patience. I found that particular meditaion in the book The Magical Year by Danu Forest.

We had communion. I used even used yellow cake.

Thank you to those who joined me tonight.

Blessed be.
