Musings
Saturday, July 1, 2000 - Have you ever noticed how the timing of certain events seems to uncannily be influenced by non-earthly forces?? I have a degree in Political Science and International Studies, and having specialized in Mexican Politics, I was simply astounded this weekend when the ruling party (PRI) which has been in power since just after the Mexican Revolution was defeated by a landslide vote! I had spent the previous day debating with my husband over whether or not a victory for the PAN would be possible. He insisted that the election would be as corrupt as always. I had a feeling it would not. Sunday morning, the election was the talk on television and in the newspapers. Saturday, of course, was the dark moon, giving rise to the new. For Mexico, the old ways were devoured by the Great Raven, giving rise to the Maiden. Hopefully, they will take this great opportunity for change that they've been given.....
Monday, November 20, 2000 - No matter how much I enjoy the warmth of summer, I always look forward to the fall and winter. It certainly isn't the cold and snow. I could never quite put a finger on it, but it hit me this past full moon. Last Spring, we had an abundance of rain. It seemed as if every full moon the sky was cloudy. Summer came, and even though the skies were clear for the most part, the rising moon was always hidden by the one acre of oaks, beeches, and other assorted ancient trees in my back yard. Last week I had my first glimpse in a very long time of the glorious full moon rising. Oh, the trees still tried their best to hide Her, but without the leaves it just didn't work. Not to say that I don't love trees, it's just that I feel a profound sense of power when I see Her, and that sense has been lacking since some time last winter. One of my favorite rituals is drawing down the moon. I stand outside with my chalice filled with Perrier <G> and draw Her down. She fills me with love and power.....
