Blood Moon and Her Message: divination, September the 28th

The blood moon got upon us a time of 'thinking from the heart'. Many of us were in a more pensive, laid back mood where the train of logical thinking was interrupted not only once, by emotions that flared up in tiny but frequent doses.

As it is the full moon brings out our inner, usually more repressed self. This one especially, was a super moon. Closer and brighter, it goes without saying that the effect was more profound.

Enough of the recent past. Coming to the divination now, the moon goddess's ascend this time brought about changes that took place behind the curtain and in the coming time, the effects of these changes shall present themselves. The area that is most highlighted is the one of 'union' . Now before you jump to conclusions, let me reiterate: 'union in the important area of your life'. So, to fully derive the meaning of the reading, I would first ask you to think what area is most important to you these days? It could be love or marriage or business or education or ascension. It could be travel or family or health or finances. It could be anything. Be sure what it is.

This reading, as one of the previous ones, emphasises on the importance of being 'passive' and 'allowing for things to happen'. Know that what is needed will happen and as much as striving to achieve your goal is important, so is at times sitting calmly and receiving your reward.

You have nurtured the tree for quite some time now. You got it water and let light nourish it. It is bearing fruits now. As I write this, I can think of the lovely green mangoes that adorn the trees. You are now sitting in the shade of that tree. It is thick lush. You can see the shadow on the ground. You don't see any water. Neither do you see and sunshine from the cool bower. You can't see the lovely green mangoes as they are camouflaged in the equally beautiful canopy. What do you do? You think your efforts were a waste and that perhaps you should give up. But no! You are being told to wait by that tree. Let another month pass and the mangoes would ripen, turn lovely bright yellow and fill the air with their aroma. What are you supposed to do? Just sit by the tree.

Don't you think, for even a moment, that it is all stagnant. Time is flowing in our physical reality and somewhere slowly those mangoes are ripening!

You shall certainly encounter someone extremely important in the area of your life that is vital to you now. Perhaps it is a soulmate. Perhaps it is a friend you really need. Perhaps it is a distant relative. It could also be a business partner. Or even a pet! Blessings come in all forms. Let them come, recognise them and be grateful for them...

Lots of love,
Iyah

Goddess Moon

A full moon chant I wrote for the goddess.

GODDESS MOON

Rise , I rise
unto the moon
glorious mother
with glorious boon
I pray to thee
goddess divine
your grace I seek
brighter I shine
safe with you
in healing light
empowered with you
with magickal might
strong willed and kind
myself, I raise
with stardust magickal
and lunar grace

-Iyah

United Magickally

Together we create magick
Under the moon we unite
With a cord, bound into one
In our song and lore and rite

Just like the moon

Today again the wise spoke. They spoke of some phases of life and how to see them in their truth.

Is it doubt or is it grief?
Is it pain prolonged or brief?
Is it a void perhaps you are in?
Do you doubt if you'd ever win?
Each thought that drops like ink black on your parchment, spreads like ink in water plain.
Spreads, it spreads and make you think on lonely nights. These thoughts drain.
These thoughts, they make you wonder. "What is going on?" You ask your self. "Why am I sad, why do I feel hopeless?
Is there an end to this tunnel seemingly endless?"
These questions are varied and yet the same. Yet all are justified.
But remember, what ever it is you feel, is a symptom waiting to be identified.
A symptom, or shall we say, an indicator. Identify it and you shall see;
what stage of life it is you are in, what all you could be.

To begin, let's talk of phases... I talk of only a few.
Preparation, perseverance, execution and then success, new.

While we prepare, many things we could feel. Often we feel PULLED DOWN, that dragging sensation of 'nothing is right, bit what IS wrong?' where it gets difficult to figure why sadness persists like some gloomy cloud following us. Often there is STAGNATION: time ticks by yet we feel stuck like a dead log sticking by a boulder as the rest of the world as we know it, speeds past like a river. It is then seems as if we in particular, are out of sync with our purpose. At times it is an indicator we are. But, the realisation that we are out of sync with our purpose is in fact a vital part of preparing.

Phase of preparation is a rather trying phase and one that affects all spheres of our life and existence: physical, emotional, mental etc etc etc.

What should we do in this phase?

Well, if you feel any of the symptoms that resonate with this phase (and I haven't actually listed all the symptoms, it is for you yourself to read and figure) then instead of feeling pulled down or worthless or lost, ACKNOWLEDGE! make peace with where you are right now in life. Once you have acknowledged, try figure what exactly is your symptom telling you. Is it telling you that you are in the wrong profession? Is it telling you that you are in a relationship that is draining you? Or is it telling you that you have a purpose that your people don't really understand and is causing loneliness? Are your choices being manipulated by certain determinants that you don't know how to handle?
The phase of preparation is like 'pain'. Just as our physical body tells us to focus on that broken bone by causing pain, so does our higher self manifest as emotional imbalances to encourage us to seek. It is that straight forward. But just as an infant knows only one reaction to pain: cry and cry more, similarly we react the way we do in response to our emotional trauma. It isn't wrong, it is simply underdeveloped.

Now I shall let you wonder where you stand. Read again and one more time. Perhaps you would find what you seek!

Else, contact me and we can discuss.

The other phases shall be discussed later. For now , I want those of you who do resonate with this information, to take a shower, drink some tea, lie down and wonder...

Love,
Iyah
