Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon

Wisdom from Seanmháthair Gealach (Grandmother Moon) Although we are still basking in the energy of yesterday's Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, and Lunar Lughnasadh, LaLuna continues to move in her cycle and has started to move away from the midpoint of fullness and is now starting to very gently wane towards her Dark/New phase.

I need to contemplate, meditate, and reflect… Continue reading My body is a wilderness

Some do this by observing the Sabbath... For others, it's staying at home but surrounded by Nature, as in these words from poet Emily Dickinson.… Continue reading An orchard for a dome
Let's talk about happiness... What does it mean to you? Are you happy?

Grandmother Moon has almost completed her monthly cycle and today appears to us as the Waning Crescent aka the Balsamic Moon. Balsamic may seem a curious adjective to describe the Moon, as most of us associate that word with a type of vinegar! But the word actually refers to the health-giving properties of balsam: restorative,… Continue reading Rest and restore during the Balsamic Moon
