the moon

I feel like this is a magical week. These days in between June’s full moon + the summer solstice. There is some kind of life-giving, hopeful, abundant, warm energy that fills me right now.…

Suddenly, after 7 months, I received not one, but two job offers in one week! There was also a full moon this past week. And I’m just gonna put it out there that, in…

The final full moon of the year is occurring this weekend – and I am totally here for it. The December full moon is known as the Cold Moon in the northern hemisphere, since…

I’m no hunter. Nor do I want to be. Well, not in the traditional sense, at least. But, October’s full moon (which was yesterday) is still sending out her hunter’s moon vibes + I…

We’ve almost come to the second harvest. And, y’all, that means that it is powerful time of the year. It is the harvest that is the midpoint between the 1st of August (the first…

I don’t know. Maybe every week I feel differently at the end of the week than the beginning of the week. But, this week I definitely feel that way. I feel as if I’ve…

Following the moon cycles isn’t mean to be a complicated thing, I believe. It doesn’t have to be some elaborate ritual that only pagans, witches, priestesses, and/or other new age types can lead. And…

this year’s first new moon phase is like when you’ve let out a long, deep breath. it’s that empty, quiet pause of silence + nothingness. but it’s not nothing. it’s actually the preparation for…

welcome to not only a new year, but to a new age, my friends. and the first full moon of 2020 is ushering it all in with epic power + inspiration. right now, this…

November’s dark new moon is the perfect time to plant seeds. To dream dreams. To let the darkest days of the year do their magic. Since the last new moon just before Halloween +…

Do you ever have a month or a year that you just don’t want to end? You know, a time when things just seem to be flowing + aligning + clicking. A time when,…

Happy Harvest Moon, lovelies. It’s officially time to shift seasons now. And, I just had to get outside under the full moon last night + bathe in her light as I welcome in the…

I am in need of some serious healing vibes. This is day 3 of me being sick at home. My body forced me to slow down, so I have been resting in bed, drinking…

I’m gonna go way off on a limb with this Midsummer Rituals post. There is an abundance of energy occurring right now. Both today + for the next week. And that’s my inspiration for…

Lately my intention for each new moon has been super powerful. They have been building on each other in the most amazing ways. From March’s becoming (knowing + embracing who I am) to April’s…

Quiet. Contemplative. Mystical. Moody. Calm. Slow. Intentional. These are states of being in which I dwell these days. It’s late October + it’s getting quite dark up here in the northern hemisphere. Not the…

Alright, wild wanderers. It’s happening. We’re sinking into October. We’re entering the second week of the month + the second week of my little challenge/journey into the dark. And it’s now time to take…

What if, instead of being afraid of the dark, instead of stumbling around in the dark + avoiding the dark, we slowed down, sat down, and embraced it instead? What if, instead of being…

It was just a month ago that I was standing on the sand at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina at midnight with my brother + my wife. The moon was full up above, the waves…

“I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.” ― Virginia Woolf Late June, a bright full moon, and a midyear roundup. This is going to be a post…

This blue moon is a wild, beautiful, doozy of a full moon, lovely souls. It’s got me feeling all the feels and speaking straight to my libra soul. Have you felt off balance lately…

Every new moon brings us a chance to begin again. But, there’s something about this one, this weekend, that feels extra special new. Perhaps it’s the vernal/autumnal equinox coming up in a few days.…

It feels appropriate that there is a super blue blood full moon hidden behind snow clouds this morning as I write this. That’s how I feel right now. Like there is this insane, almost-too-much,…

The new moon may be dark, but that doesn’t mean that the magic is gone. In fact, it may just be that there is more magic right now than when the clock struck midnight…

Happy New Year, my loves! Wow. It’s here. 2018! How does it feel to you? What is the energy that is swirling around you? And can you believe that we get to start a…

New moons are for beginnings. And, even though this new moon is appearing as 2017’s last new moon of the year, making it feel more like an ending than a beginning, what I feel…

And it’s here to help us move on. My friends, it is not only the last month of 2017, but it is also the end of a specific 3 year energetic era. We’ve been…

It may feel like it’s a bit early, but it is time to begin to look back on this year. Twenty seventeen is slowly drawing to a close, and the energy of hibernation, darkness,…

There is still magic in the air. We’re just a few days past Halloween/Samhain and the energy still feels mysterious and mystical to me.The ever-darkening days of October have plunged me deep into my…

With this new moon, we enter the phase of the year that holds the darkest days and longest nights as we make our way toward Halloween. On Thursday we are entering the moon phase…

October is enchanting + mystical. It’s darker + cozier. And it’s filled with natural + spiritual symbols that constantly speak to us about letting go. The growing season is now complete, and it’s time…

We all know that as autumn creeps in, we tend to turn inward as well. The air turns crisp. Rain + snow begin to fall from the sky. Leaves let go + surrender to…

The message from this weekend’s full moon is this: The only thing holding us back is ourselves. You see, life is what we envision it to be. What we manifest in our lives correlates…

Whoa. There’s just so much crazy energy everywhere right now. We’ve just experienced the summer or winter solstice, and now it’s time for June’s super new moon. It’s super because of it’s closeness to…

Ahhh… a full moon. Is there anybody else out there that just loves it when the full moon rises once a month? I love it so much, that I’ve begun wondering if I might start to…

Hello, my lovelies. It feels like it’s been a while since I tapped on these keys + sent out a post into the cyber-universe to you. I blame it on my super amazing trip…

We’ve made it to Wednesday already! And, this Wednesday is a full moon and I love full moon days. So, I’m up early, banging out this blog post before I head off to work.…

For one brief second this past weekend,  I believed that spring was truly on its way. Well, I suppose it actually is on its way, but it is just taking its own sweet time…

Though there is snow on the ground, I can feel it in the air. Spring. It is not here yet, nor will it be soon, but it is as if I can feel the…

I was reading about this weekend’s eclipse and, apparently, the last eclipse was in September.  September. It was actually a beautiful month for me. Exciting! Adventurous! Fun! Let’s see… I finished my certification as…

It’s just what we need, isn’t it? Hope. Because right now it’s dark. Literally + figuratively. Literally it is the first new moon of the year. The darkest night that rolls around every month.…

Two weeks in and things are perhaps beginning to settle a bit. And with that settling comes… fear. It may even be that some of us have that “Oh shit. What have I done?”…

It’s time to say goodbye to 2016. Finally. Am I right? All in all it has not been the worst year ever; but it has been chaotic and messy, I think. The energy has…

it’s time to dive deep into our souls. and just dwell there for a moment. deep down it’s dark. and that is most often very frightening. but, it is also magical. there is much…

sometimes it just feels like everything is all lining up. i mean, you feel like there is a change coming, and shift, and you begin to actually understand + see it in everything you…

Tonight we have a new moon. And that means that it’s the perfect time to begin again. It also just so happens that this new moon falls on the first day of a new…

i can’t see the moon tonight. and to be honest with you, that always irritates me. but, that’s my reality. the cloud cover over uppsala, sweden is thick. so, i have to rely on…

it’s not like i really had to recover from my trip to paris. even though we saw a lot of things and experienced a lot of things, we did it all at a slow…
