The Lunar Phases - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lunar phases refer to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by anobserver on Earth.

One half of the lunar surface is alwaysilluminated by the Sun, but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to anobserver can vary from 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The phases of the Moon have beengiven the following names, which are listed in sequential order:

Dark Moon- Not visible New Moon- Not visible, or traditionally, the first visible crescent of the Moon Waxing Crescent Moon- Right 1-49% visible First Quarter Moon- Right 50% visible Waxing gibbous Moon- Right 51-99% visible Full Moon- Fully visible Waning gibbous Moon- Left 51-99% visible Third Quarter Moon- Left 50% visible Waning Crescent Moon- Left 1-49% visible New Moon- Not visible

The Waxing Moon Spiritually

During the Waxing Moon, we witness thegrowing of the crescent moon. This phaseresonates with the energy of springtime,the building of momentum, the seedsreaching up through the dark soil and intothe light.

The Waxing Moon invites us to be aware ofthe focus and direction of our energy andattention. What are we nourishing andgrowing in our lives? What are we feeding

with our energy and attention? Are wegetting distracted from our intentions andcommitments? The Waxing Moon teachesus about sacred pace in the unfolding, about being at peace with who we are right where we are,honoring the beauty and purposefulness of all that is as we learn and heal and grow.

*Walking the Spiral Path-Awakening Power and Passion JoAnn Dodgson

The Muses

The Muses represents a special form of Goddess energy andpersonification. They are the daughters of Zeus andMnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Mnemosyne was thedaughter of Uranus and Gaia. It is said the nine daughters

were of one mind though each has specific talents attributed

to them. Their hearts were full of song and they were freespirits. They enjoyed comforting as well as inspiring people.They used song and dance to heal. Hesiod said of them,Though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul- when theMuses sing at once he forgets his dark thoughts andremembers not his troubles.

They were born at the foot of Mount Olympus and this later became their sanctuary. Apollo,Greek God of music, the light and the sun was said to have been a teacher to them and they wereoften seen in his company.

The Muses enjoyed all manner of praise and were known to be a bit arrogant. Pierus once saidthat his own daughters were better singers than the Muses. The ladies learned what he had saidand turned his daughters into magpies, ducks, finches and other birds.

Thamyris, the Minstrel, challenged a contest with the Muses. He lost. The challenge suggestedThamyriss belief that he was just as good as the Nine. This angered the Muses. They blindedhim and made sure he could not challenge anyone again. They took his memory from him so hecould no longer remember the music or words to songs he had travelled and sang his entire life.

They were once entrusted with the care of Pegasus. This lively animal was so excited to meet andbe in the presence of the ladies he kicked at the mountains behind him. Spring water rushed outof the places he had kicked. Thus the Muses sacred symbol has often been said to be springs and

wells.

Long given credit for ideas that come in the night, lyrics and sentences woven out of air or musicthat transcends oneself where the instrument and player are one. Call for assistance from themuses in all creative endeavors. Robert Graves wrote in his classic, The White Goddess. "Thereason why the hairs stand on end, the eyes water, the throat is constricted, the skin crawls anda shiver runs down the spine when one writes or reads a true poem is that a true poem isnecessarily an invocation of the White Goddess or Muse, the Mother of all Living."

Receiving the Initiation

You can begin with creating a circle of light around you. You may light a candle in honor of

Lunar light. The candle can be blessed by rubbing the scent of your choice into it and sayingprayers of intention while doing so. You do not have to bless your candles but some prefer moreritual in their practice and can do this if they wish. As you light the candle state your intention to

be initiated to this energy. You can have soft music playing if this helps you relax. It does notmatter if you choose to lie down or sit as long as you feel comfortable.

Once you have grounded or anchored your energy and become centered, you may call whateverguides, Ascended Masters or Divine you may want for assistance. You may also call yourprotection animals or place gemstones within your circle. Use the ritual that feels right to you.

The waxing moon is a time of building and drawing things to you that you want present in your

life.. This can be in reference to love, wealth, success, courage, friendship, luck, health,protection, divination. If you feel what you desire or working on could use extra power it can bedone now. This is the time for learning new things, beginning a new course of study, manifesting

your abundance, working through legal situations and watching your dreams.
