We are heading into a blue moon on the 31st and will not see another blue moon until Oct. 31st 2020! This is the time to set long term goals and intentions, which is great because my focus this moon cycle is both short and long term.
I’ve just recently finished a Visioning Workshop, so while diligently doing the work involved with that (this method is more in depth than pasting pictures onto a board, there’s a lot of pre-work and ongoing exercises), I’ve also starting Lunar tracking. Lunar tracking is great and can be used for countless things. You can track anything from mood and appetite to finance and business, then look for patterns that coincide with the cycle of the moon.
My workbook has a place to track, as well as a blank mandala that you can really just do with as you please. This cycle I chose to divide it into quarters and set intentions for each phase, based on the energy the moon gives off during that time (for example, the waxing moon, leading up to the full moon is a time to bring things in and waning is a time to let things go). I decorated my mandala and used a lot of inverted triangles 🔻, representing the divine feminine, as well leaves 🍃and the color green for growth and abundance. I’ll fill in the rest throughout the cycle.
There is a divination section where I wrote about the theme of green and growth in this cycle. I decided to do a card pull for additional guidance. The deck I used is called
Waking the Wild Spirit by Poppy Palin. I love this deck!
Look how cool these are!
I pulled the Queen of Earth- Mother of Life. This card comes from the minor arcana, Spirit of the Earth, which are green to represent the Earth, which is synonymous with the qualities of the material/physical realm (land, food, finance, business, etc) and reflects being grounded, stable, safe and secure. The Mother of Life represents mature fulfillment, ripening and competence and she holds the divine feminine in each of us as well as in the land. If you respect and protect her (earth, water, all beings) then I will protect and bless you.
What a perfect card! Mother Earth is the ultimate provider and we must work to protect her!
Part of what I'm working on is staying on top of my jewelry posting. I do have new product, but have been terrible about posting and listing it. Hopefully you'll be seeing more from me! Be sure to follow my Instagram, @calamityabby- it's the most updated, though it can use some work too! What do you hope to accomplish this lunar cycle? What about for the blue moon cycle?
