Under The Strawberry Moon

​I can honestly say that I don't always resonate with the full moon energy. In fact, I'll even say that most of the time, I don't. I usually feel tired, more than agitated and definitely moody. Instead of the howling wolf, I think I become more of the "werewolf"... not fun. But there are those rare occasions where I feel fully alive, magnetized and excited for the full moon.

​Today, was one of those times. Maybe because it was a full moon that happened to fall on the Summer Solstice... I have a very strong feeling that was a HUGE part of it. Regardless of the "why", today was an exceptionally magickal day for me. 

I felt a stirring... a calling if you will, to create some magick. To connect and really tune into aspects and messages from my inner Goddess that I was missing. So I tuned in. I got a lot. A whole lot. It was a little shadowy, it was a little more than uncomfortable but the energies were ripe under this moon to fully see those parts of me... To really have them illuminated to see without fear or judgement. I saw some raw parts in me that needed some love. I saw that there were places in me that needed some tending to. And it happened because I decided to pay attention. I mean, really pay attention.

And so I saw these parts in all of the raw and unloved state. And with all the love and acceptance I could muster... I scooped them up and allowed them to be not only placed under the moon in all of Her glory but to be dissolved in the sweetness of Her light.

I cried with the full understanding that no matter how far it is I feel I have gone, or how many tears I may shed over bits of moments like this, where self discovery can be a bit uncomfortable; it is sweet. It is sweet because I know that I have looked at, acknowledged and cared about a part of me that was hidden.

​I gave it permission to come out and fully be illuminated. Transformed, by the light of Her moon. 

It is generous, this life...
This magick.

I love it all.
