Connecting with The Moon

Once upon a time…

…us humans used to speak with the moon on a daily basis. To not speak with the moon would be like not speaking with your mum when you were a child. There is a bond and a symbiotic relationship between us and our mother moon.

But then a rift occurred and we lost our natural connection. It’s still there mind, it’s just not as tangible as it used to be.

There’s a calling in us to reconnect.

And in these ancient times it was not a taboo to be a witch. The wise women of the tribe were respected and honoured for their intuitive wisdom and connection with nature and the stars. Working with the moon was a major part of the witchy ways.

We honour the feminine in us and re-awaken her wilds by working with the moon.

We are going to start on how to work magically with the moon and her moon time. If you are a woman and still bleed your moon time rhythm is going to help you to align to her also. And if you are beyond the bleed or pregnant, or if we get any men following the moon. Her moon phases will be helping you to still keep in tune with your natural body rhythms that the moon governs. When we are guided by the moon we are guided by our true nature.

Steps to working magically with the moon

I include an audio class below x

Step 1 - Moon gazing

Notice her in the sky. it might sound simple but seeing the moon and noticing her is not something everyone does. Most people are so entangled in their own thoughts and created realities that they cannot step outside of this to notice who is really there to guide our path.

Tip: the moon loves to connect with you. Seeing her is a beautiful thing you can do for her. While you gaze at her, start to draw your awareness to your heart space and send out a beam of light from your heart to the heart of the moon. Say some words, even if they are in your head, to honour her. Your words are an offering.

“Mother Moon, thank you for sharing your light with us and for showing us that life is as ever changing as your skin which turns from light to dark and back to light again.”

You can choose your own words.

Step 2 - Ayni

Once you have made your offering of connection and words. Call on the moon to give back to you (by the natural lays of ayni and reciprocity) ask for her silver light and (the silver healing nature beings) to fill your body. Ask to receive whatever you need in this moment. You can also ask her an open ended question (listen to my audio for further guidance). End by drawing her light back within yourself and by giving thanks to her.

Step 3 - Moon phase and sign

When you see her in the sky, observe her fully. Noticing what phase she is in. Visit our Moon Phases page for more info.

Feel into your body and energy field and notice how you are feeling. Are you in sync with her phase and what she is asking of you? Keep a watch out on our group and I shall tag you when I’m posting a message from her. Please share back how you are feeling and whether you are in sync or out of sync. There is of course no right or wrong. There is only observation which is how we align with her.

Notice what you notice without judgement. It is not about trying to force an alignment. It is just about noticing when you are in sync and out of sync. There is nothing to fix. We can leave it in her hands to guide us as we continue to journey with her. Letting go of your observations to her and asking to receive whatever you need is all that is asked of you.

Notice what constellation she is in (watch out if you are using a sky scanner app as these apps are often one constellation out). In the months to come we shall be learning how to find her in the sky map and where she is transiting in your own natal chart. You will also be receiving the gift of your Moon Sign.

Does her placement in the sky have relevance for you? For instance, the moon is in Scorpio as I write this. She is waning. As I gaze up at her I remember my dream from last night which was about the grim reaper. Scorpio moons are not afraid to take us “where angels fear to tread”. By remembering this dream I honour her and she will shed light on the message in the dream for me. She is waning and I am feeling drained and in need of deep rest. I honour her by observing this correlation.

Step 4 - Dream with her

The moon guides us in the dream time. Her realm is the subconscious. She sits with all of our subterranean programming on her lap. Everything we have been conditioned to accept about ourselves and the world we live in from our parents, friends, news, authorities and society. Our feelings around security, safety, nurturing, self-care, mother and parents are the domain of the moon.

As La Luna passes through the sky she visits different placements in our natal chart. She may be travelling through a sign like Libra and transiting a planet of ours that sits there. This may be Venus and we may dream about Venus-Libra messages to do with our loved ones, our relationships with other, what we value most. Notice what patterns and ideas are held in the dream time that when we bring them to light help us to navigate our daily lives…? We shall be exploring these so please do share your dreams on the group.
