Moon Moon, Mother Moon
Lunar Lore
If the moon is on its back in the third quarter,
it is a sign of rain.
- Collected in R. Inwards, "Weather Lore".
...
Shower and wind have swept the sky,
But both have passed and now on high
Shine the unnumbered stars;
O world of blue, too burning bright
Byday to pierce with questing sight,
'Tis night your realm unbars!
- From Ethel B. Howard's "Mid-Summer Stars."
...
The moon she possibly doth shine because
Strook by the rays of sun, and day by day
May turn unto our gaze her light, the more
She doth recede from orb of sun, until,
Facing him opposite across the world,
She hath with full effulgence gleamed abroad...
- Lucretius, "On the Nature of Things."

This Week's Tarot Reading from The Quest Deck
Past: Four of Stones - The power is still present but is misused. Being filled with energy but not knowing what to do with it. Lacking an understanding of how things fit together. Having the power but not the wisdom to act constructively. By pursuing your own will you will overpower and hurt others.
Present: Mother of Cups - Love and sensuality. Someone who is fair, yet quiet. She appears a bit mysterious but is actually easily accessible. She would curl up in your lap while you were sharing your dreams. A good lover and sensual partner, she is easily put on a pedestal by others. Because of her deep connection to the earth she has a rock solid common sense that leans toward the homeopathic. She is someone who is easily your best friend, a wonderful mother and a consummate partner. She is psychic in an understated way. She shows emotional depth and balance. She is a spray of sunshine.
Future: Two of Cups - Love that brings no joy. A false relationship or friend. Separation and divorce. Unfaithfulness. Something goes wrong with your romantic involvement. Not being able to trust the other person. An inequitable balance in the give-and-take of love. A relationship in trouble. Misunderstandings. Not being connected to the one you love

Heartwings Love Notes 503: Skating
Heartwings says, "It is difficult to come to terms with failed hopes."
How I longed to be able to glide over the ice like my classmates. Occasionally the playing field of my elementary school would flood and freeze, and we were allowed to skate on the ice. My skates didn't fit very well, nor did I have the strength in my ankles to stand up on the dull the blades for very long. Yet I kept trying, stuffing my feet into extra socks and lacing the skates as tight as I could.
My parents didn't skate, Occasionally the shallow water of the boggy swamp that bordered our property would freeze and I would practice scraping along on its small patches of ice for as much time as I could bear the discomfort of my attempts to skate. Occasionally invited to a skating party I'd spend my time by the fire, wistfully watching skilled skaters swirl and swoop. They looked like they were flying.
As an adult with children who loved to skate and a father who had them at the outdoor rink every possible moment, I found myself on the ice again. I hoped with better, sharper skates I could at last fly over the ice as I pined to do. To my dismay, my ankles were still inadequate and my skills rudimentary. I could skate around with my littlest children for a short time, and that was it. My time at the rink was mostly spent on a bench watching others glide by.
Wishing and hoping could not make it so. Eventually even my youngest was able to skate by herself and I hung up my skates for good. While it was sad to give up hope that I might ever improve, it was also something of a relief not to have to try any more. I had to come to terms with the fact that, no matter how hard I tried it might be impossible for me to do something. I've never been one for limits, and this was a difficult lesson for me to learn. I still wish I could skim over the ice, even just once. Perhaps in another lifetime my wish will be granted.
May you find ways to come to terms with your limits and make peace with them.
Blessings and Best Regards, Tasha Halpert

Pagan Studies - Candlemas / Purification /Presentation / Our Lady of Candelaria
First celebrated on February 14th, in 350 at Jerusalem, when it would have coincided with the Roman festival of Lupercalia, it was later moved up to February 2nd. Pope Sergius declared it should be celebrated with processions and candles, to commemorate Simeon's description of the child Jesus as a light to lighten the Gentiles. Candles blessed on this day were used as a protection from evil.
This is the ostensible reason given for the Catholic custom of bringing candles to church to be blessed by the priest on February 2nd, thus the name Candle-Mass. The candles are then taken home where they serve as talismans and protections from all sorts of disasters, much like Brigid's crosses. In Hungary, according to Dorothy Spicer, February 2nd is called Blessing of the Candle of the Happy Woman. In Poland, it is called Mother of God who Saves Us From Thunder.
This festival has long been associated with fire. Spicer writes that in ancient Armenia, this was the date of Cvarntarach, a pagan spring festival in honor of Mihr, the God of fire. Originally, fires were built in his honor in open places and a lantern was lit which burned in the temple throughout the year. When Armenia became Christian, the fires were built in church courtyards instead. People danced about the flames, jumped over them and carried home embers to kindle their own fires from the sacred flames.
The motif of fire also shows up in candle processions honoring St Agatha (Feb 5) and the legends of St Brigid (Feb 1). The fire represents the spark of new life, like the seeds blessed in northern Europe on St Blaise's Day (Feb 3) and carried home to "kindle" the existing seed.
The English have many rhymes which prognosticate about future weather based on the weather on Candlemas Day:
If Candlemas Day bring snow and rain
Winter is gone and won't come again
If Candlemas Day be clear and bright
Winter will have another flight.
These are all similar to the American custom of predicting the weather on Groundhog's Day, in that you don't want the groundhog to see his shadow. In Germany, they say that the shepherd would rather see the wolf enter his stable than the sun on Candlemas Day.
The ancient Armenians used the wind to predict the weather for the coming year by watching the smoke drifting up from the bonfires lit in honor of Mihr. The Scots also observed the wind on Candlemas as recorded in this rhyme:
If this night's wind blow south
It betokeneth warmth and growth;
If west, much milk and fish in the sea;
If north, much cold and snow there will be;
If east, the trees will bear much fruit;
If north-east, flee it, man, woman and brute.
This was also a holiday for Millers when windmills stand idle. In Crete it is said that they won't turn even if the miller tries to start them. )0(
GrannyMoon's Morning Feast Archives
Pagan Studies - Waxing Moon Love Spell
For the next seven days, drink rose-petal tea every night at some time between 9 pm and 11 pm. There are several companies that make black tea with rose petals, or else you can add fresh rose petals from your garden to your tea. As you sip, visualize yourself as a loveable person who attracts the kind of person you are looking for. Add honey if you wish to appear especially sweet; cinnamon to appear spicy hot; rosemary to appear brilliant. Go outside at 11 pm on the night of the Full Moon, and seal the spell by saying: "As my will, so mote it be."

Pagan Studies- Breaking Writer's Block Spell
Today is the feast day of St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of writers and journalists. On this day, you may do a spell
to surmount any creative blocks. To start, hold your arms out to your sides, and turn you head to face your right thumb
(if you are right-handed; face your left thumb if you are left handed). Say out loud: " I cannot write any more. "
Then turn your head to the opposite thumb and say: " I can write anything at any time. "
Repeat for both thumbs two more times. With your eyes open and looking forward, see both of your thumbs in your
peripheral vision. Take a deep breath. While exhaling, quickly bring your arms in front of you and cross them.
You might feel slightly disoriented for a few seconds, but new writing ideas will emerge.
