Sacred waters

Earlier this week Sharon and I took a saunter along the Ocqueoc River, starting where it cascades over rocks, forming the largest waterfall in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

(In truth, that's not saying much; we've got the big water here, but our topography is a little too flat for dramatic waterfalls).

Nonetheless, it's a beautiul spot and, by the way, the only universally accessible waterfall in the U.S., meaning there are no physical barriers. The beauty is available to all.

The park includes 6 miles of hiking/biking/skiing trails, a campground and an excellent swimming hole.

The natives named the river “waw-waugh-waugh-que-noc”, meaning "sacred waters".

The Enchanting Process of Making and Utilizing Moon Water

Shaina Tranquilino

August 12, 2023

Moon water, also known as lunar water or moon-infused water, is a fascinating and mystical practice that has been used by many cultures for centuries. The idea behind it is to harness the energy of the moon and infuse it into water, creating a potent elixir that can be used for various purposes. In this blog post, we will explore the process of making and using moon water.

To begin with, let's understand why the moon is believed to possess such powerful energy. The moon has long been associated with cycles, transformation, and feminine energy. Its phases are seen as symbolic representations of personal growth and change. By aligning ourselves with these lunar energies, we can tap into their power to manifest our desires and intentions.

Now, onto the process of making moon water. Firstly, you will need a clean glass jar or container that can hold water. It's important to use glass as it doesn't interact with the energetic properties of the water like plastic does. Fill your container with filtered or spring water - never use tap water as it may contain impurities or chemicals.

Next comes the crucial step: charging your water under the light of the moon. Different phases of the moon have different energies associated with them, so choose which phase aligns best with your intention for using the moon water. Here are some common associations:

1. New Moon: Represents new beginnings and setting intentions.

2. Waxing Moon: Symbolizes growth, abundance, and manifestation.

3. Full Moon: Signifies completion, heightened intuition, and releasing negative energy.

4. Waning Moon: Ideal for banishing negativity or bad habits.

Place your jar outside in a location where it will receive direct moonlight throughout the night. If you're concerned about debris or bugs getting into your water, cover it with a breathable cloth or lid.

In the morning after exposure to moonlight, retrieve your jar of charged water. You now have moon water! It's important to note that the energy of the moon is subtle, so don't expect your water to taste or look any different from regular water. Its power lies in its energetic properties.

Now that you have your moon water, how can you use it? The possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas:

1. Drinking: Moon water can be consumed as a way to imbibe lunar energy and enhance spiritual practices like meditation or ritual work.

2. Cleansing: Use moon water as a sacred tool for cleansing crystals, altar tools, or even your own aura by sprinkling or lightly misting them.

3. Bathing: Add moon water to your bath for a soothing and purifying experience. This can help release negative energies and promote relaxation.

4. Plant care: Watering your plants with moon-infused water can nourish their growth and bring positive energy into your gardening practice.

5. Rituals and spells: Incorporate moon water into rituals or spellwork related to manifesting intentions, releasing negativity, or connecting with higher realms.

Remember, when using moon water, it's essential to set clear intentions and visualize the desired outcome while working with this potent elixir. Treat it with reverence and respect, acknowledging the ancient knowledge and wisdom associated with lunar energies.

Making and using moon water is a beautiful way to connect with nature's cycles and tap into the mysterious powers of the moon. Whether you're seeking personal transformation, spiritual growth, or simply looking for a little extra magic in your life, incorporating moon water into your daily routine can be a powerful practice that brings intentionality and mindfulness into every sip or sprinkle.

So go ahead – embrace the cosmic dance of the moon, create your own moon water, and let its enchantment infuse every aspect of your being!

Ala Bathia

On the sacred mound of ages ago where man met the flames of burning bushes and feet of the holy tread   There alone the hammer fist surrounded the waters where leviathan sleeps until such time   Declare declare forevermore the sights and sounds of smoke it’s token memory not forgotten and cities no man remembers   There my home from east to west gather the southern wind bring forth the north flow…

Prompt 204

Danny is on a bit of a roadtrip. An accidental roadtrip and might be getting chased by some sort of assassins or whatever they were. Look, it’s not his fault, he was injured and out of it! How was he supposed to know that the Pits or whatever the people were yelling about were important. Or sapient. 

Actually, he should like… “How do you even know how to drive if you’re like, thousands of years old??” That was not what he was going to ask his current roadtrip buddy, but maybe he had a concussion. 

Ectoplasm-green eyes turned towards him from the road, framed by a mixture of black and white hair that shifted like his own. “You most likely don’t want to know the answer to that, actually.” Okay, but what if he did, huh? 

“Okay, but where are we going, because I don’t think this is my dimension…”  

They shrugged, their clothing shifting with the motion. Ha, ninja clothing for a sapient pool of ecto, or whatever it had been. “I am, not exactly familiar to things that were not known to those thrown into my blood, so we’re, I believe the saying is going in blind?”

“Oh. Okay. Y’know you’re kind of nice for an ecto-death pit thing.”

“... I am going to pretend I didn’t hear that, child.”  

“Okay. I’m going to go to sleep because my head hurts.”

Bullaun ('Bowl') Pre-Christian Stone, Newton Stewart Museum, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

Found in a field near Kirkcowan, south-west of Newton Stewart.

Bullaun stones are found in Ireland and Baltic countries and are thought to be pre-Christian, but are also seen outside churches. White quartz pebbles, incised with crosses, have been found in some examples.

The water in the bowl was considered to have healing properties. Some bullauns may have been used as grinding stones.
