December Full Moon Meditation

To mark the last full moon for 2021, I have decided to lead a beachside meditation at Grange Beach on Saturday, 18 December 2021.

Gathering at the northern end of the grassed area in front of the Grange Hotel around 7.45pm, we will journey to the foreshore around 8pm to connect with the rising Full Moon. While the actual timing of the full moon here is Adelaide will be the following afternoon, 19 December at 3:05pm ACST, I prefer to perform my full moon rituals and meditations just prior to this timing to ensure that I maximise the energy as much as possible.

The December full moon will be in the astrological sign of Gemini where the mind merges with emotions, making it a perfect opportunity to get things off of our chest, say what needs to be said, and communicate more authentically.

Sometimes this means we get into bouts with others, but it's usually something that has to come out.

Having throat issues? This could be that you are not speaking your Truth - or that the words you are speaking hold little purpose. Breathe and bring your awareness to Vishudda, your throat chakra. What Truth is waiting there to be brought into manifestation?

If you are interested in joining me o the 18 December, then more details can be found here.

Elements of Witchcraft - Ritual

The third Elements of Witchcraft gathering for 2021 will be taking place on Sunday, 28 November 2021 upstairs at Carpe Diem with Remi (158 Commercial Road, Port Adelaide).  The theme for this month is "ritual".

The following excerpt is from my latest book, Contemporary Witchcraft: Foundational Practices for a Magical Life:

Within magical circles, a ritual is described as being “an act of worship or magick that employs a specific series of stages using symbolism and ceremony to create a sacred space and state of consciousness whereby participants are put in touch with forces outside themselves (i.e., the Gods)” according to British author and witch Anna Franklin. Therefore, when we perform any kind of ritual, it is important to remember that what we are going is creating a link and cultivating a dialogue between the microcosm (our “little world”) and the macrocosm (the “great world”).

There are many ways of creating ritual, both as a solitary as well as within a group format. Join us as we not only explore these, but also discuss the different techniques that can be used depending on what the ritual is for.

In magick, ritual can be perceived as a tool which can be used to focus the mind and energies. Although there are many differing types of magical rites and rituals, they all have their own specific and predetermined purpose.

Elements of Witchcraft offers the opportunity for the seeker, the novice or the solitary to meet like-minded people who are interested in gaining practical insight into the world of contemporary witchcraft through sharing ritual and informed discussions.
