Full Moon in Scorpio : The White Flames of Purification

We’re now finding ourselves in the eye of the storm. Such is the flux around us; scarcely can we see next steps, much less feel affirmed in our direction. While it seems we’re surrounded by a swirling unknown, it’s actually unsettled clarity thundering in. The white noise is the sound of our faith not yet quieted.


As I sit in my own muck and mire, desiring to be present as the storm heaves, I’m brought the vision of Sekhmet, Egyptian lion-headed goddess of all that’s holy. In her pure white form, she’s the light that casts no shadow, and it’s her whom I invoke for safe passage.





Our soul’s purity is being polished to reveal our diamond heart. Our only option is to surrender, to not be consumed nor destroyed by the fire. Learn to contain the fires of transformation and invite it into the spaces to which you’re ignorant within yourself. Stand and allow yourself to be purified, liquefied, and reborn.




The sun is making its way from fiery Aries into grounded Taurus, acting as the young, impetuous, raging bull not yet comforted. Add to that Mars Retrograde (yawn, it must be time for another nap) and a Full Moon in Scorpio. This cosmic stew leaves us feeling like there's nowhere to hide.


The best way to ride the waves of Scorpio's tumultuous waters is with faith. Knowing there’s a deep driving force of perfect purpose which we cannot yet comprehend.


Purification rituals of any sort will also be supported. Release what no longer serves you, fess up in the places you've been less-than-honorable, and be a pure light of your own truth. Anything clouding that truth and shading your integrity will certainly be triggered. Embrace it, honor it, and thank if for bringing you into greater alignment.

Burn a white candle, take a spiritual bath, smudge your space, stand under that bawdy moon, and thank her for illuminating every dark crevice in your being. This will certainly not be a moon to forget!

Living by the Moon

I've been paying attention to the moon more.  

Noting carefully the nights of the new and full. Researching, studying and meditating with each so I may begin to feel the cycles within my body. This simple awareness has enlivened in me ancient feelings, stirrings and connections I have long craved but have gone unnamed.

I've become protective of my time in ritual, scheduling social activities around it and guarding fiercely my need to be with the Mother Moon.

On full moons, I prepare a jug of water which I will imbibe throughout the month. I clear my crystals, pray over the water and give thanks for the blessings as I am called.

On the new moon, I cry and bathe myself. Releasing any distress from the cycle and create what it is I desire to manifest in the coming month.

Simple, quiet and deeply personal, I am so in love with our dances together.  Finding this rhythm has put me in communion with the Feminine Divine, feeling her express and breathe through me.  I am home again.  



We have opened our healing circle so that we many be in service to others, as we have been asked by Spirit. Monthly we invite beloveds into our sacred space and bring through the healing we are lead. Each cycle is different and preparation distinct. Crystals, music, singing bowls and the circle are all prepped overnight and blessed by the grace of each full moon.

We never quite know what we are walking into, what has been created, and what will transpire. I find myself in trance most of the session and can scarcely remember what it was that occurred.

I do know lives are blessed and changed. This time in ceremony is so ancient, so honored, it is far beyond my capacity to understand how.


Dance with us again, dear heart, whether in private consecration or amongst the beauty of those who can see you, we all are sharing the moon times together wherever we may be.
