New Moon in Leo, Thurs 7/28/22--Welcoming Our Own Power, Lammas/Lughnassadh and the Lion's Gate

By -

 


OK, this time of year is fiery, an IDGAF attitude prevails along with tempers for many in addition to creativity. Fun and bliss rules and people's vibes are RED HOT just like sucking on a cinnamon fireball or using tabasco as a condiment on EVERYTHING! For fire signs, this is your time to shine and even though this New Moon was last week on the 28th of July, this energy is still happening as the Moon is waxing to it's fullness in the sign of Aquarius on August 11th. Just step into it and MANIFEST! Demand what you want and you will get it!

The Earth and Water Goddess, the Incan "Pachamama" is celebrated in South America on August 1st, the same as the Celtic Lughnassadh aka Lammas by us witchy folks. Since the people of the Southern Hemisphere are in their cold winter months during this time, the manifesting magick surrounding this Goddess is nutrition, abundance and prosperity not unlike Mother Nature or Gaia; pictures of Her depict clear running water as tears coursing through the verdant hills, mountains and cliffs. Ecology, the Environment, fights with Big Oil and protection of the Water are very clear themes here and many call out to Her as a Water Goddess.

The Celtic Festivals have gone on for centuries and many in the British Isles (to include Ireland and Scotland) celebrate gratefulness and a thanksgiving for the first harvest of the corn and the grain. Bread is customarily baked and beer is made. All from the harvest grains of this season; wheat, corn, barley and hops.

These customs celebrate Lugh, the multi-talented artisan and Sun God of the Celts. He is most often associated with Mercury, but I also see Him closely aligned with the Roman/Greek Apollo as well. 

And in other parts of the world, the Sun is associated with female energy, not male. A few examples are the female Goddesses Amaterasu (Shinto, Japan) and Beaivi (Shaman, Saami).

So what is the Lion's Gate? It is said that during this season, on August 8th, the Lion of the sign Leo creates a portal for manifestation to take place. A holy time for those that believe! The Lion is powerful and represents a strong force of going after what you want with personal power and positivity. This time of year also heralds Sirius as this star comes into view as well and lines up with the belt of Orion and the Earth. The star is aligned with the Egyptian Goddess Sopdet or Sothis, marking a heavenly time, the inundation of the Nile River to make the river bank fertile for growing and confirming in the skies that all will work out and all will be well. More on the Lion's Gate HERE.

Be sure to bake your bread, give it up as an offering and adorn your dinner table with it....

CALCULATE YOUR SOUL, PERSONALITY AND YEAR CARD IN TAROT

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE MATH! To determine your soul and personality card, add the day, month and year you were born.  Take that total and add all of those numbers in a row.  If the sum is more than 22, add together the resulting numbers.  If the sum is between 10 and 22, that number is your  personality card .  Add that number together to find your  soul card . To calculate your  year card , do this:  add the number of the day and the month you were born to the year you want to check your card for.  Then add those numbers all together for the total.  The sum of those numbers is your  year card .  Your year card is in effect and you are under it's influence from your last birth-date to your upcoming (or next) birth-date.    If you have any questions on this, just ask me (use the contact form on this site). *I use the number 22 for the Fool in order to assign a number value to that card.  **Create a chart or an old calendar and calculate p

The Hidden Occult History of Moldavite

Moldavite Moldavite is one of my favorite stones and I have been using it for magick or wearing  jewelry with these stones for many years now. I can tell you firsthand that this stone does not come from just Czechoslovakia but many other places on our planet. Wherever a huge meteorite has hit, one has a chance of finding these stones...not created with any compound or mineral here on Earth, Moldavite comes from somewhere else, another planet or celestial  body. The term for this is "tektite" and there are many different kinds of these.  Moldavite has a distinctive leafy green color and almost looks like bottle glass. Buyer beware, there are many knock offs out there if you choose to buy some of these stones. Check your sources carefully. Not sure how I missed this very cool article, but it is worth checking out, lots of information here. This is the known history, but I have another history about this stone...maybe I will write about it someday. Enjoy reading this!
