| The New Moon in Aries The time has come to take flight, opening your heart to adventure emboldened by fiery passion and primal force. This is the Moon of Initiation into the life that you have always wanted to create for yourself! Create an altar to the Roman god Ares and ask him to inspire your lust for life and set you free! For the next two weeks wake up and ask yourself, "What am I going to do today that will bring me adventure? *Pick a Tarot card to guide you Aries is ruled by the planet Mars which is all about ACTION, APPLIED ENERGY and INDEPENDENCE Mars Meditation for Independence ~Igraine from 2008 Witches Spell-A-Day Almanac The first formal declaration of independence took place April 6th in 1320 in Scotland as the sun was traveling through Aries, the sign of independent action. Today both the sun and the moon are conjoined in Aries making it a powerful day for declaring your “I” versus “We”. Mars is the ruling planet of Aries. By engaging his fiery energy we will find the power to transmit our call to freedom. He will lead us boldly, blazing new trails of initiative and courage. So I ask you to close your eyes, centering, quieting. Engage Muladhara, the root at the base of the spine. Embrace the radiant red energy of this first chakra. Feel it’s vibrancy grow within you. When you have vividly connected to the sense of stability and groundedness that Muladhara brings, allow the energy to rise up within you like a shaft of ruby light connecting Earth to the heavens. Radiate outward reaching for the red planet. Attempt to connect your ray of light to the frequency that Mars is emanating. Earth unites with Fire. When you feel the link, be open to the messages that come through as you declare “I am free!” |

The Witches Revel The witches gathered in the dark of the night Only a sliver from the new moon’s light Shown through black branches of the great oak tree As they cast their circle in a round of three The owl watched over like a silent spy As they whirled and chanted under the sky Naked to the elements, gathering power They called to the Goddess as it started to shower The rain came gently and created a mood Of mist and of magic as the owl hooed And took to flight, it’s wings spread wide Opening the door to the secrets that hide Behind the veil of mystery The witches cried out in hope that She Appeared to partake in their ritual work As they raised to the heavens a witches dirk Drawing down the moon, Artemis’light The witches called Pan, that he just might Appear before them, a silhouette As revelers dance and pirouette The fire now becomes a blaze The witches quiet and start to gaze Intent on seeing a future told Scrying the flames, a sight to behold! The owl appears once again to the crew While they trance and they dance and drink magical brew Old wisdom is heard from voices now past In the night, in the darkness, they hope it will last The sight and the vision they’ve conjured this night As the circle’s uncast they depart, alight From the Air and the Earth and the Water and Fire Having caught a glimpse of their true heart’s desire! ~Igraine |
