Full Moon Bathing Ritual

So I’m really excited for the full moon this month. Maybe it’s because of all the planetary goodness going on right now. We have the planetary parade (five planets are lined up exactly), mercury retrograde, we just moved into a new sign and now we have the full moon. It could also be that I’m in this intense period of releasing things that no longer serve me and I’m really feeling good about life in general. As many of you know, the full moon is a good time to really work on letting things go and continue to release as the moon wanes. So I decided I would take a full moon ritual bath to enhance this energy for myself.

coconut oil 1 I love baths and it’s something I’ve indulged in since I was a girl. There is just something about the calming energy of the water. Well actually, there is scientific…

Hold a Dumb Supper for Samhain

Thank you for this information

The Broom Closet

A year ago I was privileged to attend a stunningly visual Samhain ritual written by one of our High Priestesses and performed by all of the initiated High Priestesses. This made it very special for the 1st and 2nd degree initiates, myself included. I was asked and happily agreed to host a Dumb Supper following the circle. Even though most of us understood the symbolism of the supper I decided to write a short “history” to provide some background to the newer members. I also outlined the “room setup” and “rules” so members would know what to expect and what is expected of them before they entered into the dining room area. Since the meal is silent… you have to prepare everyone before the meal starts.

History of the Dumb Supper: While the exact origin of the Dumb Supper is hotly debated the symbolic gesture of honoring those who have passed beyond the…
