Full Moon, 30 August 2023
Crossposting from the Zucker's site...
It's the full moon in Pisces, at 7° Pisces (tropical), perfecting at 9:36 pm tonight (30 August 2023). This part of Pisces is associated with the Titan Okeanos from Greek/Mediterranean mythology — "great ocean", the wild and unconquerable world-girdling salt-water river. It's a good time to give thanks for your sources of fresh water, and to pray and act for the health of the ocean, and the role of fish in both your diet and in their natural role as the inhabitants of the great waters.
The Moon is also in the Twenty-Seventh Mansion of the Moon, which is associated with stars in the constellations of Pegasus and Andromeda, and it is associated with magics that create prosperity for yourself — and wreak havoc among your enemies. Medieval Arabic navigators and astrologers associated it with the sound/letter "MIM" and the angel/djinn/spirit named "Alheniel/Alhens."
You can think of a "Mansion" as like a stretch of highway or important state-number road, and it's the distance that the Moon travels in a single 24-hour period; the 27th Mansion is something like a stretch of road that passes through a quaint town with a lot of good bars, boutique shops, and great restaurants... that also happens to have a lot of fresh water swamps, ponds and lakes on one side of the road, and salt-water marshes, tidal pools, and dune-shielded beaches on the other. Maybe there's a boardwalk with arcades and games, too. "Alheniel" is kind of like the mayor or governor of this place, 'officially in charge' — but Okeanos is the Big Guy in town.
so... there's a framework for imagination, visualization, journey-work, prayer and magic. Enjoy!

— Aphrodite is iridescence, like the shimmer of pearls and seashells, like glittering jewels in the sea

When you step into sunlight, you honor Apollo. When you admire the moon, you honor Artemis. When you admire cloud shapes, you honor Hera. When you smell petrichor, you honor Zeus. When you laugh at a joke, you honor Hermes. When your body twitches to dance at a particularly upbeat music, you honor Dinoysus. When you enjoy the first bite of your breakfast, you honor Demeter. When you choose your peace over any conflict, you honor Athena. When you warm yourself up by sheltering yourself in blanket, you honor Hestia. When you listen to Ocean sounds, you honor Poseidon. When you smell flowers, you honor Persephone. When you admire the coolness of first day of Autumn, you honor Hades. When you wear your favourite jewellery, you honor Hephaestus. When you smile, you honor Aphrodite. When you exercise, you honor Ares. When you light a torch in a dark room, you honor Hekate.
Your body is a shrine to Gods, your being an act of devotion for them. You, by yourself, are enough for them.

whenever i get sad that i don’t have friends to worship and do rituals with, I remember that birds sing love songs into the sky everyday, and the grass dances in the wind when it blows. And the clouds blush at the sunset, and the wind whistles tunes, and the bees hum, and the deer trot. And then I remember that the river runs, and the flowers open themselves to the sun, and the bugs sleep on warm leaves. and as I walk and pray, perhaps the rabbits nibbling on shrubs are praying too, perhaps that’s why the spider spun her web so beautifully. and then I remember that I’m not worshipping alone. I never was.

The gods don't always show you they're with you in big ways.
Sometimes it's small things, a butterfly hovering around you, a wild animal coming to you for help, hitting every green light when you're running late, an extra dollar in your pocket when you need it.

Your gods are listening to you. Yes, even when your tears are falling and you think you are alone. You are not.

You can find Aphrodite when you gush over romcoms. You can find Zeus when the rain pours and soaks your hair. You can find Hera when you're loyal to your friends and partners. You can find Ares when you argue with your parents over the causes you believe in. You can find Apollo when the sun caresses your cheek.
The gods are everywhere—you just need to know where to look.

Whether you’re a devotee or a worshipper, you’re not always gonna be at your best, and there are gonna be times - maybe lots of times - where you may not feel you can give 100% to your deities. You may not even be able to talk to them at all.
That’s why I LOVE devotional jewellery or any other kind of devotional item that you can carry with your person. Just the simple act of putting on a necklace or a ring or something similar is such an amazing way of showing your deities “hey, I’m still here. I still love you. I still carry you with me.“

I don’t know who needs to hear this but having doubts about your practice is totally normal and actually beneficial.
Questioning everything is intelligence.
