Moon Magic Monday on Tuesday: Reflecting and Letting Go

The Waning Gibbous & Third Quarter Moon

This is a great week for reflecting on the moon work you have done already and checking in with yourself about what happened inside.

What were you able to heal or shift or change? Did you lay a foundation for creating something new or was your work about shifting something old? Either way, this is the week to examine it all and decide if there is anything left that needs some moon attention.

Is there any lingering grief or release that's needed from the work you did earlier in the month? If so, then this is the time to identify those issues and prepare for letting them go during the next moon phase, the third quarter moon, on Friday.

Have a great day!

Moon Magic Monday: Building Up to the Full Moon

The Waxing Gibbous Moon & the Full Moon, baby!

This week is heading straight for the full moon, which will bless us with its power on Saturday.

During the waxing gibbous moon phase, the moon is half full. This is a great time to access intuitive guidance about what else needs to be a part of your work this month.

What are the issues you forgot that could get in your way? Or that you are, as yet, unaware of, that intuitive guidance could reveal?

Are there any memories that need to be healed so you can completely let them go? Pay attention to your dreams and keep your journal handy.

And then, this weekend, give it all you've got!! Use all that wonderful full moon energy to create exactly what you want.

The full moon phase is the most magical and powerful moon phase for creating, for healing, and for manifesting your intentions. So this is the moment to give it all you've got. And because you have dealt with whatever was blocking you, all of your energy can be directed at this intention.

Have a powerful week!

Faerie Friday: Dance of the Wild Faeries

Dance of the Wild Faeries

♫
Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring
Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night
♫

~~Gary Stadler, Wendy Rule

Have a great weekend!

Moon Magic Monday: Are You Getting in Your Own Way?

The Waxing Crescent Moon & the First Quarter Moon

During this week, the energy is beginning to build for whatever you have chosen as your intention this month.

Now that you have created an intention ritual for the new moon , and followed that up with a couple of days of sharing your crystals with the moonlight, this phase is a good time to gather ideas to identify what is needed to bring the intention to fruition. What will it take to make this dream come true?

And what is most likely to get in your way? This is a great time to get out your journal and really be as honest as you can about your own limitations.

During the first quarter moon phase, which occurs this week on Saturday, you identify the fears and blocks that might be holding you back or that might get in the way of manifesting your intention.

What are the fears, the limiting beliefs, and the unhealed memories that, so far, have blocked you from creating this intention and bringing it to life? What's in your way?

Once you are clear about what's in the way, you can create a ritual, and/or use healing techniques, prayer, crystal elixirs or crystal layouts and other resources to help you resolve these blocks while this moon energy is available to do so.

Have a great day!

Magical Faerie Reading

Magical Faerie Reading

I have had some charmed experiences today!

Magical Dream Guidance

First, I woke up and realized I had dreamed some great ideas for the eBook I am working on that just may make it as special as I've been hoping it would be. It was so neat to start telling myself the story of my dream, as I often do, so I will remember it, and then have that moment when I thought, "oh my gosh, that was about my book!!!"

Something in The Trees

Then, I decided to do a reading to get even more information and inspiration. But while I was taking notes on the ideas I already had I saw this in the window...

Now, you may not see it yet, but let me at least tell you where to look. Start at the left of the gables. See the three things sticking out of the roof? And two of them are kinda close to each other? Okay, look between those two, up at the trees.

I see the design of a face peeking out at me. And I have cropped it here, so maybe you can see it more clearly...

The Faerie Reading:

Here's what I read in one of the cards I drew after this face-in-the-trees experience.

"Clear, strong messages may be coming into your life at this time. Trust the messages that begin to come to you, and know you are a blending of both worlds. Hearing the voices of stones, plants, water and sky at this time. Seeing forms within nature, human forms ~~ as that is how they can best talk to you at this time."

Wow!!! What have you been up to, today?

Have a great night and a great tomorrow!

Moon Magic Monday: Getting Ready for the New Moon

 The Waning Crescent Moon & The New Moon

(photo credit: gypsyolie.blogspot.com)

This week, we are still making use of the energy of the waning crescent moon, but toward the end of the week, will get to utter our intention for this new month to the dark of the moon and create an intention ritual when the new moon appears this weekend.

This is the time to begin to identify, create and solidify your new intention. When you feel clear about it, utter that intention to the dark of the moon. 

And then, rest. This part of the moon cycle lasts five days and offers built-in hibernation before gearing up for the next big thing you will do. Though you can choose your next goal, it’s not time yet to do anything about it. You still have time for rest and renewal before creating the next transformation.

Have a great day!

Faerie Friday: Heart Magic

Heart Magic, Gary Stadler

This post starts the Faerie Friday series, and it is my great pleasure to share my love of all things faerie. Each week, I'll share music that is faerie-inspired.

This month's series will be wordless, but next month, I hope to continue Faerie Fridays and actually add a few words about them, here and there. :)

Have a great weekend!

Wishcasting Wednesday

Wishcasting Wednesday

Each Wednesday, Jamie suggests that we make wishes and she offers a prompt to help us do so. If we post our answers on our own blogs, we can link up to the wishcasting party on her website.

This week's prompt is ...what do you wish to make?

What do I wish to make? Well, I have been in a wand-making mood of late, and have been delighted with my faerie wand, which is just a bit crafty, if I do say so, myself...

So what's next? I've been thinking about making a Santa wand. Ooh, I almost felt giddy just thinking about it, so I have a feeling I will do it in the next week or so. :)

How about you? What are you wishing for today?

Hope your wishes come true!

May Day: Next Month's Blog Changes

What Will May Bring?

Rest...

I heard a clear call to wind down and retreat for the month of May, and I have decided to heed that call. I always regret it when I don't! :)

Themes...

Right now, I am planning to post three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but some posts will be brief (and some will be wordless). Here are the themes I have in mind, so far...

(1) Moon Monday: I'll let you know which moon phases to prepare for each week.

(2) Wishcasting Wednesday: Each week, we get to make a wish, along with Jamie.

(3) Faerie Fridays: I have found some really gorgeous music to share that is enchanting (and enchanted).

A New Name...

Have you ever had such a deep spiritual shift that afterward, you felt like you weren't quite the same person? And yet you knew you had connected with a part of yourself that was more true to who you really are than the way you had known yourself before?

As both a pen name (for my writing) and a spiritual name, I have chosen Anna Jane Moonstone to represent me on the web and to remind me of who I am becoming and who I have been.

It's not my birth name and in my private life, among family and friends, my name will not change. So for those of you who already know me or who have seen my other name online, I am sure it will take some getting used to, which I completely understand.

And though I do like the idea of creating some daylight between my life at home and my work online, I am not trying to hide my other name. I just won't be using it.

So I may begin to use Anna instead as I sign my blog posts this month. Or I may wait, as I am still getting used to it, too. We'll see!

What have you got planned for May?

Have a great day!
