Full Wolf Moon Lunar Eclipse 2019

What a magical evening spent soaking up the energy Luna offered during this Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse. And as usual she did not disappoint, even though we had cloudy mist filled skies, her beauty was undeniable. I hope you all took some time to enjoy the evening and release the heaviness you’ve been carrying. This first full moon of the year is all about letting go of those things that have been weighing us down. Release of the old to accept what is new and waiting for us to bring into this next season. But remember, to let go of the past or to move into new things isn’t all bad, it’s not all loss and sadness, for some of the very things that we can release are the things that will set us free to explore the new opportunities that this new year and new cycle will bring.

I hope you enjoy these photos I captured last night. I was able to capture just a bit of her majesty ~ the quality isn’t fantastic, my little Nikon Coolpix only has a stock point and shoot lens, but I think they are pretty cool!

Sorry in advance for the sensory overload!!

This first batch is the moon rise, I think the neighbors tree has added a bit of magic, but as Luna rose and the clouds started drifting by, the real magic ensued…

These next shots are of right before the Penumbral period of the eclipse

Now we move into the Prenubral period of the eclipse, when shadow starts it’s play across the Goddess

As we moved into full eclipse the clouds really started moving in and the mist was so heavy at one point my lens fogged up. It was a balancing act of my full moon ritual and photography by this point, but I was able to capture some beautiful imagery…

Even if you missed last nights eclipse, Luna is at her fullest tonight and will still imbue your spirit with her energy and love.

And so I leave you now my friends to enjoy this next phase and will meet you again under the new moon on February 4th ~ Until then I shall be busy in the studio creating all things moon magic including some surprises inspired by this superb wolf moon!!

Love and blessings!

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?
