New Moon New Beginnings
Every morning when I wake I reach over, pull back my curtain just a sliver, and thank the Goddess for the beautiful new day. This is my way to start the day off right. However lately, despite my morning ritual, I have been feeling disconnected from my spirituality. Let me rephrase that...not necessarily disconnected but not FULLY connected, ya know? My Goddess and my spirituality are easily the most important things in my life (aside from my partner).
Awhile ago I had intended to start really delving into learning the meanings behind my tarot cards. Each and every one of them. I have two decks: the Goddess Tarot deck and The Mystic Fairy Tarot. The Goddess tarot was gifted to me by my friend Sean several years ago. The Mystic Fairy Tarot I came across by chance at the local bookstore and HAD to have. I in so many ways feel very connected to this deck. Usually I leave my tarot cards at home beneath my altar among my crystals and other witchy objects. But I have not been able to do this with my Mystic Fairy Tarot. I carry it everywhere with me and whenever I need a sense of connection, I pull it out and shuffle the cards. I keep it in a green velvet bag with an Amethyst, Quartz Crystal and Carnelian. Actually as I'm typing this my fingers are itching to feel the cards in my hands. Some of the cards when I draw them, I already know the meaning to them. But this isn't true for all of them.
Tonight is a New Moon. It's a time for me to honor [one of] my matron(s) Cerridwen. It's also a time of new beginnings and self reflection. When I went Vegetarian this last time, it (unbeknownst to me at the time) started on a New Moon. I have a new journal which I have yet to start. I was saving it specifically for this night. I wanted to start it on a New Moon.
I intend to start my forray into the world of the Mystic Fairy Tarot tonight as well.
Tonight is sure to be a night of great magic...
