Full Moon Blog Changes

Hiya,
          
 
I am so pleased that you have taken the time to stop by, read my blog and browse my pages.
 
Here at *The Goddess Within* (yes another name change -  I swear it's the full moon) I hope to blog about my musings and ponderings on life, metaphysical topics and my journey to  find the Goddess Voice within me.
 
Like most 20 something's we have strong opinions (don't we all at any age!), questions that we are dying to ask our elders and fellow 20 something's, and generally a voice that we desire to be heard. My blog (here) is where I want to do that - respectfully of course, but I am fed up of not simply speaking my mind and tip-toeing around others so as to not hurt their feelings, yet my own feelings get hurt in the process. Where am I honouring my Goddess Voice within there? I'm not! And that is the one major thing I need to change in my life. I really need to start standing up for myself even more than I do now - because sometimes, people and their opinions can be fierce and hurt you deeply.
 
I chose to change my blog to reflect my current journey. I know how many of you really enjoyed reading my blog when I first began writing it back in 2009 when it was known as *THE WITCH INSIDE*, but right now, that name doesn't suit me as it's too confined for me. Right now I'm growing in life in all ways and all areas and I'm finding it more and more relevant to note that I am searching for the deep Goddess Voice within me, hence the name *THE GODDESS WITHIN*
 
The posts will hopefully reflect more of the topics that I originally used to blog about and won't really have any life coaching based posts as if you do want to read them, you can read them on my other blog. I'd love to get your feedback on what posts you love reading on here; as it's been a while since I wrote any of those posts. I apologise for my lack of clarity recently on this blog, and I do hope you can find it in your hearts to stick around and support me as I try to reclaim that part of me.

Lunar Blessings

Moon Goddess blessings to you all,

We have arrived at the first Full Moon of 2012 and what a wonderful and strong energy it is! Whenever we encouter a powerful Moon, I always have a strong headache that is always centred in on my third eye. I usually find meditating and working with moon crystals helps release the energy, I don't like saying *pain* as that is not what it is, it's just an excess of channelled energy. So I like to channel it further into a crystal so that the energy can be put to good use.

I made a *resolution*...rather a Wiccan Promise to myself to do at least one part of Moon Magick a month this year, as last year I missed quite a few. So tonight I will be working my magick. I'm very much a positive witch this year and found that 2011 and especially the end part, was particularly a growing period for me. I am a different person and actually very much in tune with who I am right now. It's a nice comfortable feeling for me, very nurturing and, well Motherly. I definately feel stronger with the Goddess in my life and have plans to enhance my Goddess Shrine in my bedroom to aid my magick further and also my focus upon my pathway.

When we find ourselves in the space of powerful moon magick, I never know what spell to do or what magickal blessing to ask for, yet I always know at the right time. That right time for me is when Im sat at my altar with a silver candle and my Goddess incense as I call upon Artemis, the Moon Goddess to bless and prepare my pathway ahead. I have a few ideas of magick that I could do but will allow the Goddess to be my guide.

So what can you do if you do find yourself in the situation of *not knowing* what to do?

I would say, use either a white candle for purity, or a silver candle to represent the moon, magick, blessings and that extra something that magick gives you. I would sit by a window (or outside) in full view of the moon and call upon the Moon Goddess, (I call Artemis or Diana) and ask that she surround you with Moon Magick and Bless your current endevours. You can also ask that she places a blessing upon something or someone in your life. You can also ask her to guide you in certain circumstances and/or help you embrace the Goddess within.

The Full Moon is a superb time to charge all your crystals especially Moonstone, Rainbow Moonstone, Blue Gold Stone, Petalite, Clear Quartz, Selenite. The Full Moon is the only time I am without crystals upon myself, even at night, as I know that the Goddess will protect me, guide my dreams with Queen Mab, and help me relax, so I can be without them in order for them to have *time for themselves*. We can forget that there are elementals within the crystals whom need these Nights/Days away from us in order to recouperate.

So with whatever you plan to do on this Full Moon, may you be showered with Lunar blessings,

Aurora )O(
