Goddess of the Silver Wheel

Celtic Goddess Arianrhod, is known as the Goddess of the ”Silver Wheel”. She is a primal Welsh archetype of feminine power,

As the Goddess of the Silver Wheel, Arianrhod is said to magically weave the tapestry of life and death.

She resides in the far north on the magical island of Caer Sidi. The ancients believed that her castle is in the Corona Borealis, the group of stars that revolve around the North Star. Poets and astrologers learn the wisdom of the stars at Caer Sidi. .

Caer Sidi is also known as Annwn, the Otherworld, land of the dead. Arianrhod is responsible for the souls of warriors who fall in battle. She gathers and transports them to her domain. There, in the Northern sky, whirling around the enduring stability of the north star, Arianrhod presides over the fates of departed souls, nurturing and protecting them between lives.

New Moon, New Year

Earthy new moon in Capricorn. And a new year is on the horizon.

Make room for deep inner reflection. Consider what has been in the past, then let it go with love and gratitude.

It’s time to lay the foundation for a new chapter in your story. What do you want to create going forward?

Mystical Gemini Full Moon

In honor of this full moon in Gemini, a magical poem by Mary Oliver…

Moon and Water

I wake and spend
the last hours
of darkness
with no one

but the moon.
She listens
to my complaints
like the good

companion she is
and comforts me surely
with her light.
But she, like everyone,

has her own life.
So finally I understand
that she has turned away,
is no longer listening.

She wants me
to refold myself
into my own life.
And, bending close,

as we all dream of doing,
she rows with her white arms
through the dark water

Samhain New Moon

Samhain Fire

New moon in watery Scorpio, the sign of the shaman, witch, sorcerer

This is also the time of Samhain – an ancient Celtic holiday in honor of our ancestors and all that has passed. Samhain marks the start of the dark half of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Now is the time to plunge into the depths of self and Soul. Examine and honor what came before and acknowledge your part in it all.

Light a candle and say a prayer for your ancestors who made your life possible.
