Full Moon August 3, 2020

Full Moon Blessings, 11:59 am est in Aquarius. Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Green Corn Moon. I’m going with the red. This energy will last for the next three days.. If you can misunderstand something, you probably will. If you can take something personally, you probably will. Don't act out on it. Remarkably painful sensitivity is a result of the sharp cut of needed change; out the cut shadow flies free. Stuck is a distorting lens. Personal responsibility can be a real pain in the ass. The desire to float, to be free without the demands of others. The conscious release of control, the cruise director. The shattering of expectations.

The desires of the collective rooted in a reality that is no longer. You - the micro - reflect the macro - the world. Rage and grief and the insistently stupid = fingernails up the chalkboard. Where is hope? How to break free? A Catholic priest once told me, "Faith is a verb Miss Witch. You have faith, you have no faith, you have faith, you have no faith." “Sounds cyclic to me,” I said, "this thing they call faith." He arched an eyebrow. "Where are you on on hope?" He asked. "Depends on the day," I said. "Sounds cyclic," he said, and his Jesus and my Goddess laughed.

Duality is real, everything contains it's opposite. Owning duality is a stop on the way to living the triplicity of a thing. Opposing colors dance, rearranging, coming together, coming apart, like ink on muslin, expanding into shapes you can't possibly predict. The old frame, the old container cracks. There was never a better time to work with the sacred. Never. To be absolutely willing to change everything, throw all the pieces to the wind. Live free of decisions; they'll come soon enough. Organic, unto you. Fast and easy answers are bullshit. Truth takes time and you'll never have all of it; a bit here, a bit there, attracting the next bit and the next.

Quietly draw your line in the sand and get on with it. You cannot impose order on chaos, you can however work with chaos, create with threads of chaos. Draw the thread. Step outside everything you've been programmed to believe. it's not like you don't know what that is, and when the grief and/or the rage threatens to drag you down, say out loud: not today you fuck, not today.

​Remember: Love contains all - beauty, ugly and everything in between. Magick done at this full moon will manifest by Samhain. Begin with Tree of Life and make sure She’s giant redwood strong before the working. Courage my darlings.

Live loud, love fierce and suffer no fools,
