Summer… she's slowly slipping by, melting into those gorgeous, hazy, nostalgic days.
Over the next few weeks, we take a short break from hosting our online New Moon Circles and our Seasonal Gatherings, as life just gets a little too busy with all the lovely summer adventures.
But that doesn't mean we can't provide you with a dose of Wild Moon Rising loveliness to guide you through the next few lunar cycles and the changing of the seasons.
The beautiful Full Moon in Aquarius graces our skies here in the UK on Wednesday 29th July, and she brings with her a gentle step into the final half of the year. A time for taking in the bigger picture, gazing forward and looking back.
Key words for this Aquarius Full Moon are wisdom, freedom and community.
Maybe over the summer you have a little extra time for daydreaming whilst on holiday, so let this airy sign ignite your imagination. What would you like to create, bring to life, or even just have a little go at during this second half of the year?
What do you want to breathe life into?
Looking ahead towards the end of the week, we also welcome the celebration of Lammas on Saturday 1st August. Lammas, or Lughnasadh, is the Pagan festival of abundance and harvest. Just like the Full Moon in Aquarius with her wise ways, Lammas invites us to look at our lives with gratitude. Marking the sun's gentle descent into golden autumn, we too can sigh with love for all that this year has already taught us.
If you wish to invite the spirit of the festival into your heart and home, why not create a little altar in honour of the summer? Decorate it with the colours of the season - yellows, oranges, browns, golds and bronzes - and perhaps even treat yourself to a bunch of sunflowers. Bring that golden late summer sunshine into your sacred space.
Here at Wild Moon Rising, we truly believe that music is medicine. We've put together a lovely, golden-sounding summer playlist to help you step into the beautiful Full Moon and the season of Lammas this week. A little bit of sound healing, a little bit of folk, gorgeous lyrics and heartfelt melodies. From our hearts to yours.
Finally, to infuse your summer with a little extra magic, we have a beautiful book to recommend. Pixie by Jill Dawson is an absolute joy to read and truly sparks the imagination. Following the life and creativity of Pamela "Pixie" Colman Smith, the incredible artist behind the traditional Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot deck, we promise it will make you fall even more in love with the tarot than you ever thought possible.
That's all for now, my loves!
Wishing you a perfectly peaceful and magical summer.
And remember, if you'd like a little something to look forward to, you're always so welcome to join us for our new season, which begins in September. Or, if you'd like to join us for just one special evening, we'd love to welcome you to our Autumn Equinox Celebration.
We invite you to a cosy and connected evening as we celebrate the Autumn Equinox in sacred circle, welcoming the season of perfect balance and harvest.
This is a beautiful time to express gratitude for nature's abundance throughout the summer months and to set intentions for the coming winter, as the energy gently shifts towards rooting, grounding and turning inwards.
Join us for an evening filled with healing sounds, meditation, folklore, intention-setting and heartfelt celebration.
Come and embrace the magic of this transformative season alongside a wonderful community of like-minded souls.
