Joyful Full Flower Moon on May Day!

With silent delight sits and smiles on the night." — William Blake

This is a great time to make a wish because there will be two full moons in May!

The first one is the Flower Moon (in Scorpio) and will reach its peak tomorrow, May 1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, while the second full moon, the Blue Moon (which is also a micromoon), peaks at the end of the month on May 31 

This full moon symbolizes the peak of spring, blooming, and full expression, urging us to step into our potential and allow our personal growth to “bloom”.

It’s also May Day, to honor the arrival of spring (Beltane).

Beltane traditions include dancing around maypoles, creating flower crowns, and placing flowers on neighbors’ doorsteps.

I’ll try to remember to place my crystals on the deck to absorb all of the positive and cleansing energies of the full moon, along with a carafe of water to charge with lunar energy for intention-setting and healing.

It’s the best way to kick off my birthday month and the best day of all to celebrate, Mother’s Day!

A Grain of Sand

To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour
-William Blake

Sometimes all you need is to lie in the sand and breathe.

Open Portals and a Snow Moon

“The moon, like a flower in heaven’s high bower, With silent delight sits and smiles on the night.”
—William Blake

Today is the opening of the 2/22 activation portal that can guide us into meditative and reflective energies, as well as opening the door to the full Snow Moon on February 24. This Snow Moon is a micromoon, the counterpart to supermoons, as it’ll appear to be about 30% smaller because of its distance from Earth.

I went for a walk yesterday in the late afternoon and was lucky enough to see a daymoon, which is one of my most favorite sights. It already looked pretty full to me as she followed my path, appearing on the right or the left or directly in front, to accompany me home.

Don’t forget to charge some water along with your crystals. It’s the perfect time to practice some restorative hygge, Wrap yourself in a blanket near the fire or with a lit candle and create a cozy and comfortable space. Imagine a protective circle around you, acknowledging the earth and your spirit guides.
