The Full Moon in the Kitchen
The luminous round moon in all its fullness inspires lovers and
poets, and, some say, the wild and crazy. For us following the path
of the goddess, however, it is a sacred time, full of energy and
magic, worship and celebration. Foods at this phase of the Goddess
in her Mother aspect - weighty, and at her full potential - should
be rich, abundant, and celebratory. This is the perfect time for
culinary alchemy, as magical energies are intoxicating and
expansive. Gather herbs from your garden in the early light of dawn,
and visualize your dream, knowing it will be. Trust in the Mother to
honour your desires.
Kitchen Blessing for the Full Moon
Goddess, Mother, the end and the beginning
The dusk and the dawn, I celebrate you!
Bless me tonight as I stand here in love
watch over me with compassion
and fill me with your grace
Accept my thankgiving as I left up
my heart in joy, Blessed Be! |

Moon Phases and Their Magic
by Dorothy Morrison
Even though we usually associate the Full Moon
with magic, it's not the only phase that tugs at our emotions. The waxing, waning and dark phases also come into play. In fact, each phase exudes a particular and separate type of energy that feeds and energizes the emotional pool, and since pure, raw, and unadulterated emotion triggers successful magic, the Moon – in all Her phases – comprises one of the most powerful tools we can use in our efforts.
The trick here is to work in harmony with the moon's phase. Take a spell to gain new friends, for example. Since you're obviously looking to increase the number of people you know (and solidify your moral support system), you'd want to perform the effort when the Moon is waxing or growing in the sky from new to full. But what if the Moon is waning and you don't want to wait several weeks for the proper phase? Not a problem. Just rework the spell to reflect the eradication of your loneliness. You get the idea. |

Volunteering and Paganism |

Volunteering and Paganism The Future - it’s in Our Hands But what can I do? As a part of my pagan practise, I fundamentally believe that it’s important to give back to the wider community as a volunteer. I often get up on my soapbox about this topic on various pagan email lists, only to get shot down every time, however, there is no shutting me up over this one as it’s my blog. I believe that if we are in the position to, we have a moral obligation to volunteer our time, energy and/or money ‘walking our talk’ in relation to our pagan beliefs and values. More often than not, our volunteering opportunities frequently revolve around environmental or humanitarian needs. I do my volunteering as an individual and I also try to encourage wider support and representation from the pagan community as well, often with a dismal response. Why is that? |
