Full Moon August 2018

The full moon snuck up on me again. I recently downloaded a Moon Phase app to my tablet and saw that the full moon was coming this morning. This evening I made an offering of moon incense (that I picked up from Crystal Dove this afternoon) during meditation. Tonight I'm also listening to some witchy music (a Lisa Thiel playlist from Circle of the Seasons that I put together for Lammas). How do you like to celebrate the full moon?

New Moon August 2018

I didn't really do much in honor of the new moon this weekend, but I think I should still check in about the full moon intentions that I had set. Letting go of a flaky friend over the last couple of weeks has made room to spend time with friends who care about me enough to show up. I'm working on making deepening friendships a higher priority as I find balance among my relationship with my spouse, friends, and family of origin. Yesterday, I spent some time out in nature to get some fresh air and sun while a friend took my picture. This is one of my favorite photographs taken of me.

Lammas 2018

For dinner, I had three-bean plus chickpea salad, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. Before meditation time (~7:30 pm these days), I took a calming and invigorating shower. I set my altar with yellow and brown altar cloths and an essential oil diffuser. I scented the air with sage and orange. My spouse read me another Magical Meditation. All the regular meditating has been paying off because I didn't fall asleep this time! I was more aware of visualizing images, which included grapes. Then I ate a handful of frozen grapes.
