Current Moon Phase - New Moon - The beginning of a new cycle.
Keywords for the New phase are: beginning, birth, emergence, projection,
clarity. It is the time in a cycle that you are stimulated to take a new action.
During this phase the new cycle is being seeded by your vision, inner and outer.
Engage in physical activity. Spend time alone. VISUALIZE your goals for the
29.6-day cycle ahead. New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon
to three-and-a-half days after. The new moon is for starting new ventures, new
beginnings. Also love and romance, health or job hunting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Star IQ - Monday, October 3
At 6:27 am EDT, the New Moon in diplomatic Libra eclipses the Sun, releasing
powerful changes in a variety of relationship dynamics. The New Moon always
marks the beginning of an emotional cycle, but the eclipse can strengthen its
effect by suddenly eliminating whatever needs to be left behind. Although a
particular situation may come to a head now, the eclipse sets up long-term
cycles too. This Solar Eclipse is supported by a sextile from stabilizing
Saturn, helping us balance our original ideas with a sense of duty and
obligation.

It is the same within us all.
I need not ask why.

Today's Goddess: Bear Goddess
Tangun (Korea)
Themes: Change; Peace; Devotion; Inspiration; Patience
Symbols: Bears; Wormwood; Garlic
About Bear Goddess: Korean myth recounts the tale of two friends, a bear and a
tiger, who wished to be human. To receive this transformation, the two had to
stay in a cave eating wormwood and garlic for one hundred days. Unfortunately,
the tiger lacked patience, found this too difficult, and left. The bear,
however, stayed determined. After one hundred days, she transformed into a
beautiful human woman and then bore a son who founded Korea, naming it "the land
of morning calm". This quiet peacefulness and devotion is what the Bear Goddess
inspires, especially for personal transformation.
To Do Today: In Korean tradition, today is National Foundation Day, the time
when Bear Goddess's son founded the country. To commemorate this and strengthen
your connection with Bear Goddess, include garlic in your diet today (or, if
you're a really devoted garlic fan, add it to one meal a day for one hundred
days)!
Should you need improved tranquility, try visualizing yourself in a deep cave
(this is Bear Goddess's womb). Stay here as long as you wish in your
meditations until the quiet solitude saturates your inner self.
Finally, for any personal transformation you need to undertake, carry any image
of a bear with you. This will inspire Bear Goddess's tenacity for success.

Messages of the Otherworld
Color of the day: Yellow
The ancient wise ones believed in maintaining the harmony and balance between
humankind, earth, and the otherworld. When there is a readiness to listen and a
willingness to understand, wisdom is bestowed. On a charcoal block, light a
white candle. Burn sage for wisdom, oak for connection to the ancients, and
mugwort to open your psychic eye. Focus on the candle through the smoke of the
incense. State these or similar words:
Voices of the otherworld speak to me.
I long to hear your ageless messages from beyond,
And your wisdom of harmony.
Let your mind open to the messages. The unconscious brain will receive the
messages initially. Your conscious brain may interpret the messages over a
period of time. Thank the ancients and leave an offering in their honor.

Crone's Corner - Celtic Ogham for October
This month's Ogham connection is NgEtal, or the Reed. The color associated with
the Reed is grass green . The corresponding letter combination is "Ng". In
Ogham, this combination is represented by a long vertical line, with three small
diagonal slashes near the top.
The Reed is considered a shrub in the Ogham--the lowest rank of three
categories: shrub, peasant, and chieftain. The bardic value, or Celtic
numerology of the Reed is 12; its meaning is "divine purpose". The Reed is
connected with the Middleworld, and is associated with the direction East.
The symbol of the Reed, is the arrow. This shows clear inner direction; a
steady aim at goals being met. It also represents the beginning of the planning
process which will provide us with prosperity in the coming year. We must keep
these goals in sight, in order to fulfill them.

"It has to be dark for the stars to appear." ~ Warren Wiersbe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Goddess Companion"
It is possible to receive the truth, though it cannot be given.
It is so tiny it can hold nothing, and yet is boundlessly huge.
Keep your soul on the path away from confusion,
and it will always find its way to truth.
Bring the male and the female with you together,
and hold them within yourself through the long night,
and you will be ready to receive all wisdom.
~Chinese Ode, Second Century B.C.E.
The union of opposites is at the base of many philosophies and religions.
Whether it be called male and female, yin and yang, the inner light and the
transcendent divinity - such dualisms must be overcome in order for
enlightenment to be achieved.
We live in a world that encourages oppositional thinking. Up and down, black and
white, rich and poor. Adult and child. Fat and thin. Normal and abnormal. Day
and night. But where does day actually end, and night begin? Much of our life is
led in various twilights, in spaces between extremes. Acknowledging the variety
and diversity of earthly life is part of the search for wisdom, in whatever
tradition we find it.
