Lunar Samhain Rituals

Blessed Withes New Year & Lunar Samhain Blessings! As the Samhain portal closes we begin the next Wheel of The Year tonight with Scorpio New Moon November 14, at 9:07pm PST . It is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another lunar cycle, seasonal cycle, and yearly cycle. Within the darkness and stillness is where all creation begins anew.

The Scorpio theme for the next moon cycle is about connecting with the intensity of our passions and emotions that lie in the deep watery realms within our our soul and to FEEL them. To listen to them, greet them, sense what wishes to remain, what limitations need to be released and cleared, what illusions need to and what is ready to be birthed.

It is a time to dive into our subconscious and affirm our courage to step into the mystery, into the unknown. As you hear the songs of your ancient-future Self, purge distortions, journey with your in the Dark and cast sacred spells of Magick, you being this next cycle of your Earth Walk anchored into your Authentic Self.
 

Lunar Samhain Rituals

Take Off The Mask:  Feel into any ways that you may be inauthentic with yourself and any masks that you may be wearing that aren't serving the essence of who you are. Draw or paint these out or write them down and then lay to rest any of the false faces that you may be wearing. In this way, the more you peel away the masks that aren't you, the more you can rise into the truth of who you are, right now, and emerge more fully as your radiant self.

Honour Your Ancestors:  Write down all the things you are grateful for about your lineage. The gifts you have received. The lessons you have learned. Perhaps you may wish to create an altar for your ancestors. In your unique way, create the space to offer gratitude to those that came before you and acknowledge them for the wisdom that now flows through you. They LOVE it if you make something delicious and offer it to them!

Fire Release Ritual:  You may also wish to connect with the parts of your lineage that may be less than joy filled. If you desire, you can get in touch with the part of you that feels feels angry, sad, frustrated and confused about what your blood line or lineage has passed down to you and offer this into the fires of transmutation (by literally building a fire or safely using a candle). You can write these down or say them out loud, or both. Then, move your body and make any desired sounds to finalize the release. When complete, you can offer any authentic words of forgiveness, empathy and realizations.

Empty The Mind. Feel Into Your Dreams:  Give yourself the gift of moving from your head to your heart. It's an auspicious time to FEEL your dreams. Your goals. Your desires. Scorpio is all about feeling. Bring any visuals or ideas about what you'd like to experience for your life into the visceral experience of your body. In this way, you are sending out messages to the universe to magnify these experiences into your life. Take some time to literally experience how your desires and dreams FEEL in your body. This is truly the magick of creating your life.

LUNAR SAMHAIN SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

Enjoy our Playlist this weekend to include in your Lunar Samhain New Moon Rituals, Dance, Journaling, Meditation and Dreaming.

Aries Harvest Full Moon

This altar was offered with Love in Avalon by Achintya & Sunshine.

The Aries Harvest Full Moon is exact Thursday, October 1 at 2:05pm PDT / 5:05pm EDT.

We are living at a time on Earth where there is an acceleration of simultaneous Beauty, Grace, Upheaval and Conflict in both our inner and outer worlds. And. All this is here to serve the Great Design of why you/we are here, Now.

With the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Libra, now is an auspicious opportunity release excess baggage on all levels and initiate the shifts needed to live your dreams and desires. With gratitude for all the lessons and gifts from the past season, it is now time to ignite the inner flames of your wild heart’s passion, strength, determination, commitment, ambition and your soul’s beauty.

Now is the window to break any chains of illusion, burn away disempowering beliefs, spark the remembrance of your truth and rise into new dimensions of trust, creativity, expression, harmonious relations, sovereignty, empowerment and love.

With this Harvest Moon in Aries, the opportunity is here to deepen into your Greatest Gratitude and light up your Warrioress Within. This is a Moon to both reflect and to amplify. To commune and celebrate. To share honour and reverence. To spark inspiration or (r)evolutionize your life. You may be called to sing, dance or be still. You may be ready to start something new or give death to something in your life. It may also be the time for you to release anger, rage, frustration or fear in healthy ways, to avoid continued internal tension and external aggression. Use the power of Fire wisely and it will support you fiercely.

The Aries Moon Medicine is also igniting you to take external action as the (R)Evolutionary and Warrioress by contributing your voice, energy, money (any form of action) to participate in the change you wish to see and Be in the world.

Your presence to embody both your inner Sacred Feminine and inner Sacred Masculine stimulates needed Awakening, Remembrance and Reclamation for us all!

• What do you wish to ignite or re-ignite in your life?

• What gifts are you reclaiming?

• What is ready to be released?

• What is being catalyzed within you?

• How are you called to Revolutionize?

Whatever inspires you, move in that direction. Blessed Be.

Harvest Moon Ritual Suggestions

• Gratitude Harvest Altar & Release: Gather fruits and vegetables. Flowers and grains. Create an altar of abundance, representing all you are in gratitude of. List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year so far and place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Write down all the things you are ready to release, change or shift and either bury them, burn them or offer them to a body of water.

• Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams tonight and through the weekend. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.

• Make Space: Time to go through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.

• Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.

• Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered.

• Earthing Creativity: Illuminate your dreams and get into your body! Create a vision board or a painting or dance or write in your journal all that you are bringing with you into the next season ahead. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing out loud.

• Moon Bathe: Get into the magic of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul-stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions and dreams that you see for yourself and for the planet.

• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective. (See invitation below).

Harvest Moon Spotify Playlist

Welcoming you 33 songs of Blessings and Celebrations!

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, day of ,and day after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.

With Full Moon Love, Achintya

Autumn Equinox

Photo from our Avalon Priestess Pilgrimage 2019 on Equinox at Stonehenge by Melissa Robin

This Autumn Equinox / Mabon in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring Equinox / Ostara in the Southern Hemisphere is exact on September 22nd at 6:30am PDT.

Day and night are of equal length as Mother Earth takes a sacred pause in Her rotation around the Sun. On The Wheel of the Year, this Holy Day in the Northern Hemisphere is celebrated as Mabon (pronounced in many different ways May-bun, May-boon, May-bawn). Mabon is considered a time of the Great Mysteries. It is a time to honour the Sun Gods and Goddesses, the Harvest, and the Spirit World. 


This is a time of balance, to slow down and reflect, enjoy the bounty of our harvests (whether this be from your gardens, your friendships, and family, your work or your personal achievements) and also to prepare for the next season by welcoming the gifts of the darkness to release, let go, give away, share and shed (whether physically, emotionally, mentally or all the above).

This is a potent moment to honour the light and the shadow within your Womb, Heart & Mind. To honour the human part of you and the spirit part of you… the masculine and the feminine. For, to live fully Whole and integrated, we must embody both polarities. This is the power and alchemy of which all creation is based.

Video from our Avalon Priestess Pilgrimage during Equinox 2019. Filmed by Melissa Robin. Original song by Venetia Pristavec.

Harvest is encoded with both joy and grief, bounty and completion, fullness and loss. Allow yourself to experience the full spectrum of emotions as you celebrate and grieve with with both sorrow and bliss. All your feelings have deep wisdom & insight for you at this time when you are present with curiosity and acceptance. Give reverence for how far and deep you have journeyed this year. Honour your pain, shadow, and challenges. Honour your pleasure, light and triumphs. For every step of your path has led you to this moment now.


We offer thanks and honour to the Goddess as she moves from Mother to Crone, and to the Green Man, the King for the fortitude of the Sun, as we now reap the gifts and abundance, prosperity and fruitful ways of being.


May we welcome the power of this Holy Day in our personal lives and as the needed change for the world. May we offer to one another the bounty of love in our hearts, and offer the gifts of respect, kindness, honour, and peace to all those we come across. May we do what we can to contribute our energy in gratitude to the Earth, to the Spirit World and to all of humanity.

Pisces Full Corn Moon

The Pisces Full Corn Moon is exact on August 30th at 6:35pm PDT, and it is a Blue Moon.

With this Full Corn Moon in Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, we are able to reap the the joys, lessons, insight, and experience from all the previous signs and implement their teachings by seeing through the lens of ‘being in many worlds at once’. The symbol for Pisces, with one fish swimming downstream and another swimming upstream, is an invitation to enter into the power of integrating duality, incorporating both the inner and the outer realms, the light and the dark, the highs and the lows and to activate the wisdom of polarity (like 2 magnets coming together in their opposite nature), to create something anew / the trinity codes of potential / a “third door” of possibility.

With the Sun in Virgo (Virgin / High Priestess / Queen), and the Moon in Pisces, this is a Seeress / Priestess Moon to activate and ground your visions and dreams. For one and for All. This is a powerful opportunity for us to consciously beam our unified prayers to Bless each other and All Sentient Beings in this specific timeline in the era of the Great Shift.

Beloved One, you are a child of the infinite God dess. Your very presence on Earth here and now holds great keys for our collective awakening and the reclamation of your Self. At this mystical full moon time, you are able to harness the power of your shadow, your light, and the rainbow spectrum in between to amplify your intuitive knowing and inner guidance for taking authentic action on your path.

As your nervous system is heightened, please give great care to your sacred body temple. Drink lots of water. Get into water and Be in Nature if possible. Be present with your breath and the rhythm of your sleep patterns. Rest and exercise. Meditate. Be in the morning stillness to recall your dreams, as there deep insight is there for you. Breathe deeply and check in with your inner voice when if you are needing to make major choices. Accept. Surrender. Release. Celebrate.

This is also known as the Corn Moon.

Corn Moon Attributes

• Tarot: The Empress

• Herbs: Chamomile, St. John’s wort, Fennel, Rue

• Colors: Yellow, Gold

• Stones: Tiger's Eye, Carnelian, Red Jasper,  

• Animals: Lioness, Phoenix, Hawk

• Goddesses: Gaia, Demeter, Corn Mother

• Medicine: Gathering, Gratitude, Health & Wellness, Friendships, Bounty, Motherhood

 

Ritual Suggestions

• Dreaming Moon Water: Place a bowl of water in the full moon (preferable outside & spring water if possible) and welcome the shining moon light to infuse the water with the wisdom and power of pisces energy (dreamy, intuitive, mystical, imaginative). Keep in the moonlight for at least an hour, or overnight if you wish. Then drink as a sacrament, offer to the earth and to others.

• Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams during the 3 day Full Moon window. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.

• Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day), so you can attune to the subtle layers of all that shifting within you. Be sure to get a long and full sleep.

• Tea Medicine: Drinking Tulsi & Gotu Kola herbal tea will soothe your nerves and calm your spirit. This also allows you to open up to magical and bountiful blessings being offered.

• Earthing Creativity: Illuminate your dreams and get into your body! Create a vision board or a painting, dance or write in your journal all that you are celebrating and releasing. Place this out into the moonlight/speak it/sing out loud.

• Moon Bathe: Get into the magick of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul-stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the prayers, visions and dreams that you see for yourself and the planet.

• Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

• Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective. (See invitation below).

Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magickal time.

Eclipse Full Moon in Capricorn & Sirian Star Gate

The final of the Holy Trinity of Eclipses is here this weekend! Along with a Sirian Stargate Activation! Whoa.

This Capricorn Penumbral Lunar Eclipse takes place at 9:32 pm PDT on July 4 / 12:32am EDT on July 5 with the Full Moon in Capricorn exact at 9:44 pm PDT July 4, 12:44 am EDT July 5.

With the eclipsing Moon in Capricorn, the structures, constructs, patterns and traditions of your life and our collective that have been built on a foundation of distortion, inequality, fear or falsity are crumbling. This may feel like the carpet is being pulled out from underneath you. This may feel intense. And, it is. This great eclipse of the moon, caused by the Earth’s shadow, is here to catalyze an illumination and then release, of all the ways you have governed your life from a place of fear to initiate a new foundation rooted in trust, wisdom and love.

Let the full moon’s luminosity and eclipsing shadow penetrate into your being to deconstruct what achievement, leadership, power and mastery have meant to you, so you redefine this for yourself. It is time to shed the chains of comparison, status, competition, power-over / powerlessness by illuminating the emotions and beliefs hiding in the dark (either from society or family). These shadows are ready to be acknowledged and released by feeling them and moving them. During this Moon, allow sadness, grief, anger, fear and rage to have their holy moment. Any distorted beliefs that have been leading your life are being revealed and dissolved. Honour and thank them for how they have served you and with power of your sovereign choice, let them go!

On the other side of this shadow is liberation! Through this deep excavation of your being, you are creating space for a potent rebirth of love and true mastery for your life and for the benefit All. You will begin, and we will begin, to rebuild structures, maps, traditions and patterns in our lives based in safety, honour, respect, equity and love.

This eclipse will guide you into the direction of living your dreams and grounding your soul gifts in these unprecedented times on our planet to be the change agent you are and are becoming! Bathe yourself in the light and shadow to release distortions, reveal truth and honour unconditional love. Feel deeply. Follow your body’s innate intuition. You are supported and blessed.

And so it is.

And…

Sirian Star Gate Activation

The Sirian Solar Stargate is a portal into the Destiny of our World and to our own personal immortality.

Sirius is with the Sun on July 4 / 5, 2020! The sacred conjunction activates a Star Gate into the multi-dimensional realms of our consciousness.

Though we won’t be able to see this, as Sirius is currently hidden from our view on Earth in the 70 day underworld journey before the Heliacal Rise (taking place any time from mid-July to mid-Sept depending on where you are in the world), it will no doubt be felt. Perhaps like me, you are already feeling this.

Sirius (also known A’a, Sopdet, Sothis, In-Na) is our Spiritual Sun, the Heart of our Sun, and one of the 15 fixed Magickal Behenian Stars. The Ancient Egyptians venerated Sirius as an embodied starry expression of Goddess Isis / Auset (who is our current Rosa Mystica Guide for the Gold Rose Temple in our year-long spiral of Priestesses of the Rose).

Isis / Sirius is the Giver of Life, not only of our physical form, but of our immortality. As Sirius will unify with our Sun (also reflecting this light to the Moon) it will be transmitting energy codes via magnetic field lines for a transmission of EPIC proportion. 

On July 4 / 5, the Earth will be as far away from the Sun in it’s annual orbit, known as the apehelion and the Light Codes from Sirius stream down into the Earth’s Telluric Grid with Divine and Radiant Energy.

This is a significant convergence of Stellar Energy! 

These powerful Light Codes will transmit energy, information, and high frequencies to Awaken us a Humanity to greater love, compassion and understanding of our collective journey and the afterlife. These frequencies activate the quickening shift of our physical vibration from carbon to crystalline with cellular transformation and restructuring.

Be ready, grounded and centered with clear intentions within your physical Body Temple to receive this Star Medicine, to hold and feel more Light, and to receive insight and guidance for your personal transformation. 

This is a Monumental Activation of personal and collective Awakening for Humanity’s Evolution, for inspired Earthly change and embodied enlightenment. 

May we come together in the unity of the Heart. For one and for all. Blessed Be.

Guru Purnima Additional Insight…

Also, in Vedic and Hindu Tradition, it is Guru Purnima! The special Full Moon is a time of honouring those that have been, and are, our teachers. This Full Moon is dedicated to those who have illuminated us in some way, who have taught us and guided us, and who have shown us more of who we truly are and why we are here.

Eclipse Sirian Star Gate Ritual Suggestions

• Invocation & Playlist: You can use the Invocation above (download it because it’s 3 pages) during the exact time of the eclipse or anytime this weekend. You can use the Spotify Playlist above to feel your emotions, dance and move your sacred body temple! Cry, scream, pray, laugh as needed!! ENJOY!

• Eclipsing Earth Connection: Stand or walk on the earth with bare feet. Imagine roots growing down from your feet and/or your womb space to the womb of Mother Gaia. Feel this as an anchoring pillar of light connecting you to the Earth and welcome in the magick of the Moon, the Sun & Sirius descending down from above moving through you, as you continue to send the energy deep into the earth to ground you, release stagnant or pent up emotional energy and have you feeling supported and nourished for rebirth.

• Guru Purnima Gratitude Blessing: Throughout the day and night, as inspired, say out loud what you are grateful for about the people in your life you consider are your teachers, those you have learned from, who have inspired you and supported your empowerment. If it's a person, reach out and tell them in a message, phone call or prayer. If they are animals, angels or ascended masters or guides in the unseen realms, speak or sing your gratitude out loud or in writing.

• Take Stock & Take Action: In your journal, write down 1-3 needs and desires that are not being met. Then list your emotions an feelings connected to this and why this is so. Make sure you turn the answer inward and don't point the finger to the outside or at someone else. This is powerful. Take your time with this one. There may be massive insight and healing in this alone. Then for each need/desire, write down one way you can activate these to come to fruition. Make a commitment to apply at least one of these in the next 72 hours. And the others within this lunar cycle.

• Creative Activation: Take a piece of paper and list 5-10 desires / intentions you have will support you creating new restructures for your life. Place this sacred paper under the moonlight (either outside or by a window). Create an altar with this by adding symbols (of things you already have/cuttings from a magazine, etc) that represent these desires. Get creative. Then burn incense/plant matter around you to purify yourself and symbolically remove any ways of being that prevent you from experiencing these desires (insight from first ritual may come into play here). Sing or chant any mantras or songs that you feel connected to, to bring these soul desires to life!

• Gemstone Activation: I recommend if you wish to activate your gemstones and jewels, to do so after the eclipse has taken place. Place crystals referably on the earth, also by a window and in water for cleansing, renewal, and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.

This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous, potent, life-shifting and magickal time.

With Eclipsing Stargate Love, Achintya
