The
full moon is on July 16th. Let the
Thunder Roll, indeed. The Algonquin
called it so because July can have some magnificent thunder storms. The Cherokee called it "Ripe Corn
Moon". The Zuni called it
"When Limbs Of Trees Are Broken By Fruit". All names of full moons have descriptive
names, of course. The Norse Goddess
Frigg is the Goddess that rules at this time.
Here are a few things to consider and however you celebrate, if you do
celebrate, Full Moons, here are some ideas to consider.
The
Goddess of this full moon is Frigg (also known as Frida, Frea, Frigga).
Frigg is a Norse Goddess of Destiny, love, love relationships, and
Magic. She is a domestic goddess and
reigns in women's houses as well. She
was a weaver and she is known to weave fates and destinies but never alters
either for others. She is in charge of
divination and shape-shifting. Frigg is a tender and compassionate
goddess. Many evoke her for birthings
and she is a true romantic in trying to have us fall in love and to find
partners. Very often Frigg is depicted
with stag's horns, (for Buck Antler Moon) for this is the time that the antlers
are in velvet. She is shown with
spinning wheels, spindles, mistletoe and shafts of grain. She is eclectic, but, again, gentle and
compassionate mother.
For this month you will be happy but
you will be a very deep soulful person that feels all the thunder and lightning
storms within. You do have a dark side
but keep it well hidden. One thing to
watch for is that you may be a catastrophist of future events. You are intuitive but you may find that you
over think more and you may tend to not see the positive right in front of you
in the present. You may find that you
take what others say way too personally.
It is not always all about you.
You may find mood shifts come often and you need to take care that you
do not over-express more of your dark side than bright side.
This is the time that those who pick
medicines will pick Wort/Wyrt plants, will gather sheaves of hay, and will
gather honeysuckle and hyssop. The
colors on altars should be silver and blue-gray. You may find others gathering waterlilies as
offerings for the little people who dance during this time. On your altar, place pearls, moonstones, and
quite agates for peace within and peace without, for healing, for help. You need to develop and let rise, your most
relaxed body, mind and soul. Keep a
dream log during this time as you may find yourself really dreaming awesome
dreams that have meaning and it is good to consider those meanings the
following day. Work on considering goals
and options.
Celebrate this month with mead, with
dancing, with listening to beautiful relaxing music and meditation tapes. If you have a drum, drum. If you have a crystal Bowl, make your own
healing music. If you have Tibetan
bells, ring them. At best, put up some
beautiful tinkling wind chimes near a window or door of you house so the air
can move them.
Harvest is coming. Weather the storms. Find ways to be happy as you work and to find
time to relax. Blessed Be this full
moon, sister-friends.
