Taurus New Moon (Dark of the Moon)



Follow the Light within

A time for silent rest.

The Taurus Moon is an Earth element moon...
Grounding within the Feminine energy~~~

The Earth is Mother, protecting and nurturing and ruled by Venus the Goddess of Love and Beauty...
Now is the time to reach into the mother earth and become grounded in love, in beauty.

The past few days have been reflective and interesting. While serenading my darkness and contemplating my shadow self, I have learned to enjoy understanding my personalities light and dark sides. I am Yin to my Yang... ;) I am whole unto myself. In the past I set up an illusion and told myself part of me was missing. I am not missing. The illusion created a lost feeling. I am not lost. I am Whole!
I am at peace. All is well with my soul.

I considered my values. What do I most value, right now?
My Health
My Son
My Home
My Wealth (working with the Law of Attraction) (at some point this is where I am) ;)
My Love    (ditto)

With all these values, now is the time to gestate new life. New Growth...

All of this, I considered during my New Moon Ceremony with meditation and reflection~~~
I looked to my little "cauldron" and saw the ashes of past New and Full Moon ceremonies and decided to burn my New Moon words and mix them with the old ashes...I took them outside and said these words...

The Ashes of past ceremonies
     I send to the Ethers
The Ashes of the present
     I send to the Earth
Let the rain wash down
     Let the Earth rise up
Nourishment and Growth
     I give all my needs to the Earth
So that I grow in Strength
     Grow in peace
     Grow in divinity
     Grow in Abundance
For today i am seeded
Today I am nourished
All my needs made known
All my seeds
Now, are grown
     Bountiful
     Beautiful

I stood outside under the dark night
My dog by my side
I said my words
I poured the ashes in a circle
Around my body.
The wind blew the past
Into the ethers
The earth absorbed the ashes nights ashes
I returned to my door, calling my dog
She would not come in.
She stood in the circle and acknowledged me with a bark/howl
Then, she came inside.
My cat then ran out into the night...

One of my main Totems is a large black dog... The other is a large golden panther....

I am whole unto myself.
I am whole.
I thank you
Thank you...
Trust...
I am protected...
I am protected...
