Dark Moon Awakening ~ Rune & Tarot for 29 Nov 2016

Lady Frieda Harris’s impression of The Tower from Crowley’s Thoth tarot deck explodes with energy. Our world is torn asunder as the All-Seeing Eye of Source Presence watches from above. The tower is burning and imploding before our very eyes and nothing will ever be the same again. Our awakening is at hand.

Along side The Tower sits Dagaz, the 24th rune of the Elder Futhark reinforcing our awakening and enlightenment. We are one with Source Presence, with universal Consciousness, and a new day is dawning. We’ve gone as far as we can and in synchronicity with our creative force we stand on the precipice of something new.

Today is the Dark Moon, the phase attributed to the Crone Aspect of the Goddess. As it’s also Tuesday, the colors for today are red, black, and orange. The Tower reflects the energy of Mars and Elemental Fire, and we are purified by their fiery and catalytic presence. With this influence we have the strength of our convictions as we stand in defense and protection of our ideals. We know that anything is possible as change for the better, even from conflict, is ahead.

In Sagittarius, this Dark Moon brings energies of expansion and inspiring debate, truth at the heart of everything we wish to experience. The challenge will be to deliver our point of view without negatively affecting the outcome.

The ground has shifted under us and the future is uncertain. But with our own all-seeing eyes of Source Vision, we proceed in synchronicity with our own Source Presence. And we will be victorious.

The Dark Moon is beneficial for new projects and forgiveness of self and others. Secrets may be revealed and although protection and banishing are often performed during the waning phase of the moon, I like to use the Dark Moon for protection spells when Mars is influencing. With the additional energies of Crone wisdom present, I have the clarity and purity of focus necessary to cast my intention of protection to the universe.

The numerology of the divination is 16 and 24, reducing to 7 and 6, and from there to 13. Either leaving it there or reducing it further to 4, as we bring energies into alignment, our magickal presence will provide the structure needed to secure our future.

The Tower suggests that fire cleanses and purifies. What no longer serves us is carried away by winds of change. But it also reflects a witch’s intention. When nothing moves, when everything remains the same, by her intention, the witch can disrupt and disturb. We protect self and others when no other options are left.

But as both The Tower and Dagaz counsel, awakening is ours if we choose. The wolf is at the door, and as we cast our collective intention, we send energies of protection and vision. Protection for obvious reasons, but vision so that we bring everything into alignment with Source Presence.

We are one family even though we forget that more often than we remember. Maybe the house has to fall into ruins before we realize all that we have built together. The truth is there for all of us to see. We are stronger together than we are divided, far stronger than the wolf at the door. It’s time to let go of our pre-conceived notions, of our feelings of otherness. It’s time to reaffirm our fundamental unity.

At 6:55pm I’ll be performing a protection spell. I would love it if others joined in, either using mine which you can find here or on the blog’s Facebook page or using your own. The blog post has the methodology for determining the time, so if you’re interested in that, click on the first link. Otherwise, a streamlined version is on the Facebook page.

I’m at such a loss about all that’s happened. All I can think of doing is casting my intention of peace and harmony to the collective consciousness. It may sound odd that I consider that to be a protection spell but I do. It reflects the when they go low, we go high attitude of our First Family. I’ll miss their positive and steady presence which we’ll sorely need in the days to come.

Today’s divination tells us that we are awakening to the fact that the power for change belongs to each one of us. And in unison, we can’t help but succeed.

Blessings to our One Family. We need each other now more than ever.
