[YEWr Lunar Ritual] TODAY'S AS GOOD AS ANY… During the Crack in the Universe, during twilight hours. Smudging myself and our space before beginning our rituals. Tonight we take responsibility for our healing. We are co-creators of our reality November 10th, 2022 • Otter Full Moon • New Year! November 10: We gather materials to make our visual offerings . Once made, we smoke them and place them near our bed to infuse them with our dreams. Tomorrow we place our creation on our altar. November 11-14: We pray in the evening for four nights : We align our lives with the Sacred Parents, and our lives become unending inspiration. A feeling of peace intoxicates us. What has become of us? Endless, indiscribable thoughts ceaselessly come to us! Time of a lifetime, we've found ourselves at last, and we will keep growing until we've finished our Warrior's Task. November 15: Place items on your altar that represent Sacred Law, Respect, Harmony and Love. Please consider participating in a Traditional Lifestyle in Contemporary Time that is supported and held in ceremonies of this nature. November 16th: Light a candle on your altar at sunrise, this represents the HeartFire of All That Is, the united consciousness we call the Universe. November 17th: Take a detox bath for about 20 minutes. Use one lb baking soda and one lb rock salt. Be sure to hydrate. Light some more candles, add some essence oils – I like Linda's Puma Courage – and play some relaxing music while you soak, giving gratitude to a life you create with higher intention. As you come out of the tub say to your self in the mirror: The Sacred Parents are this life, and I am it's radiant power. I welcome myself to my beginning. I am blessed. I have cleansed my heart and mind so that I speak words of truth. I follow the spirit of Earth Mother. I give my compassion to Spirit. In the spirit of the Sacred Parents, and All My Relations, and through the love of life, receive the Ancient Ones. I welcome new life in old wisdom. November 18th Prayer: Things snap into focus. We've been pursuing unity all our lives. But could only glimpse the vision in fragments; and this has haunted us for many years. Each time we have come close, we had denied the reality. At first, it seemed like they were only translucent dreams… yet it has begun to make sense, gathering our dream journeys as part of our identity. More and more, this mysterious life comes together. We continue to reveal the whole. We are the distance we go. Blessing Our sacred space by the little brook of life smiles that we are here. The many tints of our senses scintillate in the light. Our thoughts calm in the aligning energies. Shining currents of life realign the changing magnetic grid. Breath is power that lights the senses. We are flames of the HeartFire. We are the loving light gleaming the world miracle. We heal… Star Nations Honoring Live Authentically: Journeywork is to be relaxed into, so sit back, settle in, and enjoy how you feel when it’s over. See if you find tomorrow a bit brighter. Rainbow Ritual Imagine a dream arch shimmer in storm clouds: the Bridge reveals itself. We have been taught that the rainbow bridge connects us to the future. It is difficult to walk this bridge. It has been hard to create. We always see it just at the horizon, but the more we go towards it, the more it shifts and eludes us. To find it, to stand at its base and contemplate the dizzying heights that must hover at it's highest arch is even more unfathomable to us. But we, today, stand on this sacred path, and we are light enough and pure enough to walk its raindrop surface into a new life. This newsletter has been curated and edited by #teamshima.
