MYSTICAL AVALON

I gazed upon this faery small

She stood scarcely two foot tall

Tiny shoes covered her tiny feet

And she bowed towards me in a faery greet

Her pretty little face showed no trace of woe

And her hair was white as new fallen snow

Her eyes were sparkling bright and brown

And on her head she wore a tiny crown.

Then she smiled at me and this did say

You’re in Faeryland you have lost your way

Sorry to disturb you from your rest

Come along with me and be my guest.

Then she led me to the faery ball

To a faery dance in a faery hall

All the faery folk were dancing there

And faery music filled the air.

But when we stepped inside the faery dance hall door

A hushed silence fell across the floor

Faery men and women one third my size

All looked up at me with fear in their eyes.

But their Queen she spoke to them and said

Of this gentle giant you need hold no dread

I met her in the oak tree shade

Into Faeryland she somehow strayed.

Then the faery band started playing anew

And the faery folk started dancing too

Round and round the dance floor they did wheel

To the haunting sound of a faery reel.

I have never seen people quite so gay

As these little faeries in their bright array

These happy folk did laugh and sing

As they danced around in a faery ring.

Then I left the ball with the Faery Queen

And we strolled the banks of a moonlit stream

I stooped to kiss her but she was gone

And by the moonlit stream I stood alone.

The alarm clock rang and I awoke

And my spell of fantasy was broke

I awoke to a World of reality

From a Faeryland of fantasy.

Friday 13 August 2010, Moon and Venus come in for a close encounter

Though the date Friday 13 is generally perceived as unlucky, (not to me I was born on Friday 13 …..) this alignment of two planets brings passion, love and maybe even a little extra $$

• The Moon is 3.5 days old and is in waxing crescent lunation cycle
• Both Moon and Venus are in Virgo constellation; they had company in the form of Mars and Saturn which are also located in the same constellation
• Venus had a conjunction previously with Saturn on 8 August and proposes to meet with Mars on 19 August. Hence, the present getting together of Moon and Venus comes almost in the middle of the two episodes
• Both Venus and Moon are below the pathway of the Sun called as ecliptical path
• During August Venus is very bright and is seen as an evening planet
• Just north of Venus is the brilliant star Zaniah
• The name of the star Zaniah in Arabic means an angle, which can be interpreted as a turning for better
• Positioned on the left arm of the Virgin, the star Zaniah symbolizes amusement and enjoyment of life and its pleasures, Chinese treated the star as a maintainer of Law
• Both Venus and the Moon are positioned on the left wing that hovers over the left arm of the Virgin

 Enjoy the Magik of Friday 13 and embrace the Passion of Mother Moon and Venus xxx

I first fell in love with the moon when I was a young girl growing up in a rural town in South Australia

It always seemed so magikal and close to me, and I often sent it wishes and chatted with her without knowing anything formal about its significance or its meaning at the time.

MAGICAL MOON PHASES

Moving with its natural course, through different phases and astrological signs, the moon has a particularly potent effect on witchcraft, energy, female energy, spirituality, and many different other thought processes, and believes.

Each cycle of the waxing and waning moon spans several days, and by being aware of each phase of the moon, you can add power to each ritual performed. …… I also recommend you note and think about how you feel and react during the different phases.

Dark of the Moon
From the time the moon is no longer visible to the naked eye until the new moon (known as the dark of the moon) is the most useful time for divination of all kinds.

The New Moon
This is an exceptional time to do witchcraft and rituals for new beginnings, and for the conception and initiation of new projects.

Waxing Moon
The waxing moon is appropriate for spells, ritual and ceramonies that involve growth, healing and increase.

The Full Moon
Known as the “high tide” of psychic power, The full moon represents culmination, climax, fulfilment and abundance.

Waning Moon
The waning moon is the best time for cleansing, banishing and completion.

Have you been hiding your uniqueness???

FULL MOON in AQUARIUS

• 26-July-2010 – 11.37am – Sydney, Australia
• 26-July-2010 – 2.37am – London, UK
• 26-July-2010 – 1.37am – GMT
• 25-July-2010 – 9.37pm – New York, USA

Full Moons are times of heightened emotions, usually due to an intense personal experience that needs release. It’s time to welcome to the Full Moon that is quirkiness personified, the Aquarius Full Moon.

Inside all of us lives a genius. Really, it’s true. And along with that genius is a rebel, a black sheep – an individual. We all have the sign of Aquarius in our birth chart somewhere .. but, like gold, sometimes it’s not as available to each of us as we’d like.

The Full Moon gives us the opportunity to delve deep into a particular part of ourselves each month. Standing bright and commanding in the sky, the Full Moon casts light into the deepest shadows, including the ones within us. During this particular delve, your individuality is being called to centre stage, courtesy of the Sun in Leo.

A Full Moon in Aquarius brings to light the fact that anything is possible. Dare to feel BIG and let your inner Aquarius shine.

Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.

From Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)
