| July- Bask in the warmth of the summer and take time for yourself, relax. Perhaps a moonlit walk by the sea to gather sacred seashells. Make an ocean amulet necklace for one you love. August- This is a time to harvest the gifts you have nurtured and give to those who are in need. Collect and store fresh herbs for the coming winter. Bake special breads to honor the God and Goddess of grain and growing things, share them with your family and friends but save some to offer the Earth. September- Drink a toast to Dionysus, the God of wine and ecstacy amd the son of the Moon! Gather with friends to celebrate the vine with a bottle of good wine and good cheese. Catch the moons reflection in your cup and rainse it up in salutation, now drink in her essence and feel the pressence of the God and Goddess. October- In the past this was the time of hunting and storing. The Wheel of the Year turns like the cycle of life and death. At this Moon the veil is thin, make an Altar to honor your ancestors and ask them to guide and protect you. Carve pumpkins and place candles within to light their way. November- Winter's cold descends and outward growth slows. Make this a time for inner growth. Learn a new craft or study the ways of divination. When the moon is full do a reading for yourself or your friends. Develop your psychic talents. December- The time of the Suns returns and the Moon awaits her lover. Make wreaths of Holly, Pine, Oak, Cedar or Ivy. On the full Oak Moon burn them as an offering to the Sun and the Moon. Create a sacred Moon ornament to hang on the boughs of your Yule tree. Blue Moon- This is the second full moon which falls within in a single month, it varies each year. When the Blue Moon occurs plan to do something strange, something you have never done before. Write letters to folks you have not seen for years, plan a surprise for someone you love. Howl at the moon!! |
