October Skies

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush…

                                                       Van Morrison – Moondance

I LOVE that song. To me it completely embodies this season –

I look forward to the change of each season but my favorite season by far is autumn.

The crispness of the early morning air, the warm colors of changing leaves.

Something in the array of browns, reds, coppers, and golds mixed with the lingering green of summer just sings to my heart.

I look forward to the first rainfall – you know the one that washes away the last remnants of summer?

I love to walk through the woods just after that rain, when the leaves have begun to fall and crunch beneath your shoes. When the fragrance of clean air, bitter, composting leaves, and the sweet damp earth wafts around you like a warm sweater.

Oh, and the smells – cinnamon, apple, pumpkin spice, cloves, yummy!

I embrace the chance to drink hot tea and enjoy warm pumpkin scones while I set up my fall altars and prepare the gardens for the first winter frost.

 

Surely, fall is the nature Goddess in all her glory, giving us one last burst of color before she dusts the earth with the cold twinkling stillness of winter.

Welcome back my friend.

Shall we dance in the moonlight giving thanks for your return?

Of Earth and Sea Collection

The Of Earth and Sea Collection

This is a collection of treasures from sea and earth.
Full of the magic of the sea nymphs, goddesses, and witches of legend.

The very essence of ancient sea magic and powerful earth magic combining.

Each component has been chosen with intention for both its esthetic allure and energy. All unique and one of a kind treasures to adorn the body.

Of Earth and Sea by the Amethyst Moon

Inspired by my love of forest and sea, this collection is very dear to my heart. For where my soul finds its peace is where the forest meets the sea in the great Pacific Northwest.

It is the place my entire being feels at home and where my creativity is revitalized. I have tried to capture that magical place in this collection of one of a kind jewelry pieces.  And so I share with you my happy place…

 

Of Earth and Sea

Where forest meets the ocean shore

      My spirit longs to be once more.

Where Redwood, Madrone and Oak commune

     With salted sea and sanded dune.

Where fog rolls thick and hugs the trees

     And wind cries out and churns the sea.

Where Willow, Hemlock and Laurel grow

     Where waves kiss sand and rivers flow.

Where mermaids sing and fairies roam

     Where witches came to make their home.

Of Earth and Sea is available September 1st ~

The Full Buck Moon

Hi loves! I wanted to share some photos of last night’s full moon.

I’m not a pro photographer, and I only have a little point and shoot Nikon, but I think they are pretty amazing shots.

Here in North America we didn’t get to experience the lunar eclipse, but Luna still gave us a fabulous show from moon rise to moon set!!!

Our next lunar eclipse will be January 2019! Moonrise over the Foothills

There are several different names for last night’s full moon, here are a few:

Buck Moon ~ this is the time of year that male deer begin to grow their antlers.

Thunder Moon ~ because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month.

Of course, that’s if you’re up here in the Northern Hemisphere! Each region of the world has its own name for her.

Full Buck Moon Rise

 

The night sky was so breathtaking; I had to keep reminding myself to snap off a couple

of photos every now and again. I really just wanted to soak in all of the wonderful energy.

 

I hope you had a chance to set out some crystals for charging and that you also took

time to set some intentions and recharge under her magical light.  Full Moon Crystal Charging Altar
