New Moon in Aries 2021
It’s nice to have a schedule again. Yes, it’s my spiritual practice and not a job, but shit if Hasidic men can dedicate their whole life to study and collect benefits, why can’t I? Feminism.
Today was a pretty cool new moon circle hosted by a dancer who is also an herbalist. I sure wish that I could take her certification course but it’s 2000 bucks. So yeah, that ain’t never happening. In the grand scheme of certifications it’s extraordinarily cheap but I don’t have cash like that. Sometimes I wish I could get a certification in something so I could work with people on this level with this type of work, but then I remember, oh yeah, it fucking hurts to get up in the morning, hence why I’m disabled to begin with.
Anyway, she led us through some sacred dance which I kinda swayed to at my desk because my leg is really hurting from the rain today. Then she did a guided meditation, and finally read a poem that she had been called to write. All in all pretty awesome.
This wasn’t my only zoom call. Bright and early was the tarot HoopYogini class, but at 8:30 am I am stiff as a board (if you don’t get that joke, than I really don’t know why you’re reading a Wiccan’s life story) and can’t walk too well, let alone do Hatha yoga combined with hula hooping. So I listened to what she had to say about the card she chose to represent this morning’s class which was Temperance, a card meaning balance.
After that it was Sunday business as usual. Brunch at 10am, laundry shortly after that, home for the rest of the afternoon to veg out. Dinner was a delightful vegan meal of rice, lentils and pan seared asparagus. I think from now on I’m going to try and make Sabbat and Esbat meals vegan. I think that just aligns more with Earth energy, plus it gets more vegetables into our tummies, so that’s pretty cool too. I make sure I cook with warming and nutritious spices like turmeric and black pepper. Food is fuel and medicine.
Of course, I did my tarot spread this morning. A single card for the day as well as the new moon in Aries spread seen above. Overall a very positive reading. I know what I have to work on, and what needs to be slowed down. For example I think my generosity with free readings needs to be slowed down, while amazingly rebellious (my personal mantra being Free is best!), I can’t help everyone. What needs to be worked on is move movement with purpose like a yoga routine. I could also try the Tibetan Rites. Those are very straight forward and doable for me. I know I can do them to a certain extent, just not every day and certainly not at 8:30 am. I’m hoping that my knee pain today is only rain related and not a result of the yoga I did on Friday. I’m 6 years past the doctors estimation of me needing a wheel chair, so right now I just gonna go with the flow and do what I can to not be in that chair.
Blessed Be!
