Embrace your darkside

I celebrated Saturdays new moon by the ocean on South Beach this month. I always perform rituals for the new and full moon. The new moon is the best time to set goals as you are then able to draw down appropriate energy as the moon waxes (gets bigger). The full moon is also a good time to focus on what you want to experience but the emphasis for the following days needs to be on reducing any negative forces as the moon wanes (gets smaller) and fades away. In simple terms if you want to get laid use the new moon to real it in. If you want to loose weight use the full moon to reduce your appetite.

Anyway last Saturday I wrote out my prayers and spells and waded into the black ocean to release them both to the water and the moon. I am a Pisces which is a water sign, the moon controls the water element and is the planet in charge of the cardinal water sign Cancer, the moon also controls the tides so I feel pretty confident that all this months petitions will come good. Normally at home I work with the water element (the moon) and the fire, earth and air elements by burning (fire) incense (earth) on charcoal (earth) and burning the petitions (fire and air) and releasing the ashes into the night (air).

Learning how to work with the elements both internally and externally can be a very effective way of improving both syncronicity with your external enviroment and sovereignty over your internal (emotional) enviroment.
