It’s Elder time. One of my favorites. This is the time for Sacred Silence. Be still and do nothing. That means when you really engaged in it, I mean REALLY, you do not have the TV on or music playing. You do not speak with anyone and you do not even make eye contact! You can snuggle up somewhere and put some water, tea or snacks nearby and possibly a journal, but do not, I repeat, do not talk with or move around with anyone. Not many of us can really do Sacred Silence with family, or roomates around. It’s sometimes impossible to find that space. You can try to do silence for a shorter time like an hour and if you have the opportunity, go for a day! or a couple of days or more! We have two weeks until the full moon to try this. Now, why? Just wait. After your ego goes through a workout and you are ready to freak out…the magik occurs. Awareness.

Now, the other way to do this is to remain peaceful in your work day or family time. You may tend to keep to yourself. Don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Let them know what you are up to. It helps.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Everyone gets so nervous when it’s Reed Moon. It is good to know that when you face your fears and move through them, the other side is light, airy, fresh and new. Your heart pumps and your knees are knocking, but when it’s over, your soul sings! Some people have episodes throughout the entire moon month and others have a build up throughout to one big event at the end. It feels like a death experience and then a rebirth. If you are ready and willing, Reed Mother works with you. Just don’t go against her.

Ivy Moon comes in and reminds us to not get so tangled up in others’ issues and energy. The Ivy warns us by the way it can so easily choke out the life of the other plants. The best course of action is “still movement”. Be an observer of life around you with great intuitive awareness. It ‘s like a moving meditation. The more you are aware, magik sets in. We begin to see the bigger picture and awaken to our Higher Truth and Balance.

I would love to hear the stories of success as well as the snarly relationship complications. We can assist each other in staying observant and detached. It does become an interesting display at times as those we love become ensnarled in others lives.

Grapevine is a time of celebration. It is the culmination of all your hard work. Dance, play and enjoy as you remember how far you’ve come. Taste the sweetness of the ripened fruits of your creations. Stay out of lack thoughts and recalibrate yourself to gratitude!

What are you grateful for?

From the book The Wisdom of Trees by Jane Gifford: “The ancient Celts regarded the hazel as the Tree of Knowledge. All knowledge and understanding was bound, sweet and concentrated, in the hazelnut’s kernel, so all wisdom was combined, as the saying goes, ‘in a nutshell.’ The hazel is a tree of magic and healing. It is the poet’s tree whose sacred nuts conferred inspiration and immortality and were the food of the gods.”

The hazel encourages us to seek out knowledge and inspiration in all ways and in all things. Meditate on the essence or energy of wisdom and you will gain creative inspiration. Be pliant like the limbs of the hazel tree in your approach to learning. Be open to connect with the Divine Source of all things. Learn, teach, communicate and heal!

Know that you do know!

Holly Moon teaches us to be CONFIDENT! She has a powerful radiance that reminds us to put our light into the world. Express yourself, show yourself and don’t hold back. Allow your talents and personality to be seen. When your ego pulls you in or tries to control you to be careful, wait, could be dangerous, ask your Higher Self, “Am I being misrepresented by my ego trying to protect me in a limiting way or is this sound advice?” Ask a few times, yes, talk to yourself! Breathe away the anxiety and remember that you do know a few things and you are ready to be your unique self. We all can’t wait to see.

It’s easy at times during this Oak Moon vibration to feel as if you are in a “void”. It it is blank feeling, not knowing what to do, but if you listen from deep inside, you do know what to do and whatever situatuion or circumstance arises, act! You are the only one that can do it!

And, this is the time to produce something. We are ready to birth a project, an idea…you name it! But the time is now!

If that does not resonate…..NURTURE YOURSELF!

This April 21st, 2012, we moved into the Mystical Willow Moon.  The key word to remember during this moon month is “Faith”.  Have faith in your life experiences.   Know that your choices have led you to exactly where you are supposed to be.  Trust in the blessings whether they feel good or bad.  You are on your path to mastery.  When you forget it is possible to feel anxious and worried that everything is going to fail.  You may in even feel like giving up.  Without faith, we feel hopelessness.
