Seed Moon Eclipse Dance

My place is in the wild wood
next to the pond
united with the elements

the sweet spring wind moves across the waters
and I taste Her breath
the fiery sun beats down upon me
and I feel His love
curious turtles surface to watch me
I see life returning from Her watery womb
I stand strong upon the awakening Earth
and I know my power

I AM

I am one with the elements
I know the place where I belong
all this beautiful Earth is my home

so if you seek me, look you to the sky
for you may find me there,
circling lazily with the sacred vulture
look you to the wood
for you may find me there,
running with His deer
look you to the waters
for you may find me there,
swimming among the fishes
look you to the land,
for there you will find my heart
beating with love for this Earth

I AM

I am alive
I am strong
I am Goddess
I am grateful

Blessed be!

Blood Moon Rising

Saturday morning is the time to rise and see the Blood Moon, which is really a lunar eclipse. This is a powerful event, a time of great possibility. The last full lunar eclipse I witnessed, I fell in love.

Apparently we are in a cycle of seeing several of them, from last year to this year. This is called a lunar tetrad. This also has prophetic connections in Abrahamic traditions, among whom some believe this is a sign that heralds the end of the world.

In Pagan traditions, we often call the full moon nearest the Autumnal Equinox the Blood Moon or Hunter's Moon. This is to honor the sacrifice of life for the harvest that happens at this time. So our usual usage of the term Blood Moon is distinct from tomorrow's full lunar eclipse. This page has some information and ideas for the blood moon eclipse.

As a student of Yoga, I know where I'll be: on my mat. The path of Hatha Yoga strives to bring one into balance and harmony with the sun and the moon. We work with balancing the solar and lunar energies within. Saturday morning, the Sun, the Moon and the Earth will literally be in alignment.

It is a time to witness. A time to honor the celestial bodies. A time for devotion to the Old Gods. A time for magic. A time of rebirth!

What is possible at such a moment? Everything.

May your Blood Moon be magical and transformative!

Blessed be.
