January New Moon Dreamboard

There are definite themes in this Rowan Moon - the first New Moon of 2015.

According to Amy Palko's Bloom by Moon 

Take these visions and ground them in practical action. Let them take root and gain strength from the energy that flows from deep within the Earth's core. Let them offer you their gifts of vision and protection.

And I've written this out on the right-hand page on a image on which I'm stuck a wee wooden house and a sticker with a heart kite withe word Fly

Another theme is 'the space between', which is written on the trees postcard - the space between the vision and the 'practical action', but also the space between mentioned in the poem 'Blessing' by Patrice Haan (2010) from an old We'moon diary at the bottom of the page

Grace meets you between two heartbeats,

In a blink, pulse, shift of breeze rippling cat's fur, all is changed,

All.

And the world, which leaned into its negative pole, glances,

fascinated by the positive, all

before breakfast, before the day's first tasks.

The great longing lifts

like a voice, like wings, and soars

effortlessly, splendidly, a thing of such joy

the bird stops singing and the animals 

come out to listen. All the people put down their masks and

tools and stand awash in the moment. What

will we tell the children? How remember the instant

we glimpsed grace and knew true peace like

stars at night, water in the desert, the first great

breath on surfacing.

I've also remembered St Brigid, whose feast day is in a couple of weeks, with the image She Tends the Flame by Megaera (2006) with words by Donna Henes (2003)

One by one, in tiny increments, candle by candle,

gesture by effort, wish by prayer, concern by care,

we feed the life-fires of the soul and light

the infinite universe, little by little from within.

The left-hand page is less busy and is pretty self-explanatory - with images from the Toast catalogue and various magazines...

As I sit with this completed dreamboard, I think of my visions, my seeds, my intentions for the New Year, for this New Moon...

Foremost is beginning the e-course Lunar Flow - the first part of Marissa's CMP course (there's a button on the sidebar)...

... I really can't wait to start and will be sharing as the weeks unfold. I've boldly written my intention for the CMP course in the course handbook:

To connect with my inner wisdom.

To learn to trust my gut using the moon, chakras, stones and tarot.

To build on what I've picked up on these things over the years and dive deep into my own real Knowing.

My Word for 2015 is DELVE and I intend to delve deeper and deeper through this course.

May it be so :) x
