full moon magic

The candles are lit and the house vibrates with the thrum and hum of magic, that change of consciousness that opens up the lines of communication with the elements, with the sacred, with the divine. The tulips, daffodils, and blossoms of plum on the altar attest to the beauty of this green planet, beauty beyond comprehension.

Tonight I honored earth, air, fire, water and spirit and asked for their help. I called to the ancestors and those who will come in the future. I invited and invoked the mysterious ones, all those deities and guardians who are able and willing to be of assistance, who might also need or want my assistance, or at the very least my attention. I dropped down and felt the change that has already begun, the polar ice caps that are melting, the rising of the ocean, the changes in temperature, the changes in seasons.

How hard it is to really sit with this, to feel it and keep breathing. And I prayed and asked for assistance in people having the strength to change. Then.......something happened. I felt the power of human creativity, the diversity amongst us, the tenacity. The strength is there. We have to pay attention to what is already happening and adjust accordingly. And sooner than later. And I breathed into that.

The moon is full and shining, bathing this city in its silver light. I can feel the thrum and hum of all those I've communicated with tonight, and I can feel the creativity and strength of the people in this city, a city that rolled last night with a 4.5 earthquake. We are getting jolts all the time, reminders that things are changing, that we should pay attention, that we should change. We need to wake up. We need to dream. We need to wake up. And then we need to dream again. We can change. We do it all the time.

Today I finally learned to use a digital camera and put pictures on my blog, something I never felt myself capable of.

Anything can happen. And usually does.
