Happy Tuesday
I'm feeling witchy so I've recorded two meditative rituals for you for two different days.
This is what happens when rosehips appear and the evening walks show me red sunsets.
People say you should have one voice as a writer.
Yet some days I share the ordinary with you and the next I'm recording a meditative ‘spell’ like this one.
I nearly excused myself then.
Said sorry for being like this. For having different voices.
But I'd tell you not to apologise for yor own richness Wouldn't I?
I'd tell you to loosen your voice, bring different parts of yourself to the table.
So I'll follow my gut and offer you these voice notes for the lunar eclipse and the autumn equinox. This is made for tarot and oracle card lovers alike.
Get witchy with me. Be unapologetically magical.
Gather everything you need first. Candles, journals, tea, cards and pens
For the lunar eclipse UK 17th September
You can read below or listen to the recording…
Light your candle
Settle yourself. Find your seat here. What does solid ground feel like?
Holding your deck
Talk silently to your cards as you shuffle and breathe.
Utter words in the silence of your heart.
“Tell me the tale of the lunar eclipse”
The cards slip over one another. Embue them with your question.
The rhythmic sound of the deck lulls you into a deeper connection with yourself, with your body, thoughts and heart.
Trees listen
The sky knows
You ask the question
Not because you want to get somewhere.
Not because you need answers at all
Simply to open yourself to the mystery
To honour and nourish a longing for magic.
You'll know when the time has come to place your card on the ground and turn over your message.
Let the card tell the tale
May the message be meaningful for you
For the autumn equinox UK 22nd September
Light your candle and place berries or leaves in the glow
Settle yourself. Feel the ground beneath you.
Let thoughts come and go so they shed like leaves to the ground.
Holding your deck ask
“Tell me a message for autumn”
not because i need to know how to balance everything.
This is an impossible task.
The seasons show me balance comes when it's ready then once again the balance tips.
Simply imagine right now, this very minute there is only balance. For just these moments. You are just as much the light as the dark.
Pause in this
Then find confidence in the tipping into the darker part of the year knowing it reflects a natural cycle within
Shuffling gently
You draw your card when ready
May the message be meaningful for you.
I'd love to hear from you if you tried this. I'd love it if you could restack this so others can enjoy it.
Love
