Oh how I need to remind myself right now of such simple things. Simple, like, stop feeling bad for feeling bad!!

UGH! We just had a massive energy and moon shift last night. So much so, that it actually woke me up at 1:53am!! No joke, the moonlight was so bright that a crack of it came through my skylight shade and shown on my pillow. Directly on my eyes! It was like a moonlight pair of sunglasses that I was wearing in pitch black!! You would think I was making this up except my husband (not entirely believing in all things witchy) said he has had the same thing happen to him before.

So, the moon wasn’t singling me out, per se, but she was saying: Wake up! Come outside and look at my beauty and strength!! Which I did, for sure. I stood outside, marveled at the clear night (in the Pacific Northwest that doesn’t happen a lot), and then I went straight back to bed.

Really magical and powerful stuff! Then I woke up this morning feeling exhausted and mentally unbalanced. So much so that I ate spicy leftover pho for breakfast. Yuck.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021

We are now deep into the Full Moon of November as well as a lunar eclipse. Holy shit!! Hang on your hats and brooms everyone…shit is getting nuts around here!! And while I am very much a newbie to the world of magic, intention, and craft, there is very much a grounded sense that I have been doing this for a long time.

One thing I can say that I need to continue to remind myself, is to use protection during the times of lunar change as well as a gentle hush now to my inner insecure me. Hey…I’ve come along way! I used to speak to myself in such a horrible way…saying thigs like “Shut Up” and “You can’t be right about any of this” because “You don’t know shit”.

OMG, right?!?! Why would I speak to myself in this way?? Well, that’s the old me. The new me says things like “Hush now” or “It’s okay if you have doubts…just think on them a little deeper”.

I never thought I would get to a state of profound calmness and reflection. Don’t let me fool you…this isn’t the way I think ALL the time. It’s just getting easier over time.

So now, I use the moon power to harness my energy instead of wilding throwing it all over the place.

Alrighty….we are in the midst of a powerful moon and things are getting crazy…lots bubbling up. Chaos, letting go, much-needed protection, and big-time strength needed to let go and face the new. Let’s get out there and use this powerful energy to make really beautiful changes happen in our lives!!

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 

In these next 24 hours, the moon will be transitioning to Full whist engaging in a lunar eclipse that has not occurred in centuries. So, look out! All this means is that shit is going to get intense, crazy and full of cosmically wonderful things. 

For me, this could not come at a better time. In general, the moon governs our emotional selves.  If new moons denote new beginnings, the full moon essentially does the opposite. The illuminating full moon is often associated with clarity and closure, and because it shines at its brightest in this phase, your energy and emotions are likely running just as high. You might also think of the moon’s bright light symbolically; it’s here to shed light on previously unknown information and offer you a clearer look at certain situations, giving you the knowledge, you need to move forward.  

Taking all of this into account, full moons are not the best time to manifest or introduce a host of new beginnings into your life, like you would during the new moon. Instead, you’ll likely do better with allowing the universe to do its thing. Reflect on letting go of things (aka bullshit stuff that clouds my brain) and embracing endings.  

According to the Popsugar website: “Ask yourself: what can I now see is holding me back from what I want or from becoming the best version of myself? Think hard on your answers to that question during the full moon, because it may be time to walk away from those things for good.” 

Literally…and I mean, literally…but wait – I hate the over use of the word literally – …this is EXACTLY what I need to be doing!! I spent much of the last year battling with my kids’ upper crust snotty school due to an ongoing custody battle of horseshit. The schools new HeadMaster (yes, that is what they’re really called) took it upon herself to paint me in the most unflattering light. Not her first time, according to the news. But whatevs….her projections on me, her bullshit, not mine. And so I stew on this, praying to Hecate for justice until I realized….OMG. Let. That. Shit. Go. 

And I finally did. As we all know, Karma is NOT a bitch…Karma is FAIR. So, I trust to the Universe that she will get hers all in the Universe’s master plan. I’m just asking that during this massive lunar shift, I keep that darkness shed so that I may only bask and grow under the magical light of Mother Moon.
