Today the dark moon is in Aquarius. I was feeling frustrated and upset because the transmission replacement is still no where near done. I am fighting the fear that I won’t be able to get out of here by Wednesday. I need a shower. I need to do several loads of laundry. I need to find where I put my extra electric toothbrush heads because mine fell on the floor and there’s no way I’m putting it in my mouth again. I need to do a lot of cooking to beat expiration dates.
But instead I was moved to witch, crafting charms for prosperity, protection and good luck. I had jars, bags and containers of herbs, crystals and essential oils all over the table and altar. Spells were happily rhyming. Sigils were forming with ease. I mixed and anointed and penned instructions for items that will find their way to others. Caught up in the creative process, I managed to stop rebelling against being stuck here and just witched away, riding the waves of moon energy.
That’s when a box arrived. Because my plan had me back in Georgia at the skoolie community two weeks ago for repairs and solar installation, I took advantage of that mailing address, and had letters and packages sent there along with components ordered for the work. Only I never made it back, and Renee was kind enough to repack everything into a big box and ship it here. The timing was perfect. I began pulling out one goodie after another. Clothing. A datebook. Two “Worth the Witch” boxes to review for PaganPages. A Christmas card and a la Bafana card. Gifts of fruitcake, a bottle of the golden Italian herbal liqueur Strega, a selection of teas, incense, bells and more. I got my Good Sam and my premium AAA cards, bills, tax information, some handwritten notes, a warrior pin and a witchy iron-on patch. It was just what I needed, when I needed it most. Gratitude filled all the spaces anger had lingered.
The For Every Goddess tea from Walk in the Woods got brewed. The fruitcake and Strega were put on the altar for cakes and ale. After casting a circle, I settled in to complete everything I’d been working on, infusing intentions, love and blessings along with the dark moon energy from which dreams are born.
Now I am sipping a bit more Strega along with another cup of tea as I prepare to read through my mail.
Wishing you all a blessed dark moon in Aquarius.
