I hope you’ve been enjoying our 5 days of ceremony and ritual leading up to the big Cinco De MAyo, Super Moon, Scorpio full Moon and numerology 555 important day.
The Full Moon in May always in Taurus is the Buddha’s moon, called Wesak. commemorating the Buddha’s complete enlightenment under the bodhi tree, the buddha made the mudra or hand yoga, as he touched the earth with his fingers, to signify his earthly embodiment of having reached enlightenment with Mother earth as his witness. Significantly the number 5 for five fingers, the earliest counting systems. 5, 10, 20.
So we are working with the 3rd element of earth today as we progress. First day was fire, 2nd day Water.
Earth, it is time to get dirty with the earth. Walk barefoot, go to a forest or park and walk barefoot. feel your feet kissing the earth as you walk and the earth stimulating and applying live reflexology to your feet. Dig in the earth, plant seeds. on the upcoming Scorpio full Moon will be the most fecund and fruitful and plants will sprout the fastest on this moon. Also the best day in the year to get your haircut on if you want it to grow very quickly.
The west is the place of Earth. It is the physical plane opposite spirit in the East. The Earth is the resting place of the body in death. The earth represents physical feminine nurturing from our mothers, from the womb. Earth is all feminine, it is receptivity, place of birth and death, it is the place of dreams and darkness, it is restful, earth is body knowing, intuition, it is real.
So sit in your sacred circle, in the direction of the West, breathe slowly in through your nose out your mouth, become aware of all your senses, empty your body so you can feel it more directly. Lay down and go into a dream scape, see your body alive and see your self in death,see your funeral, imagine what it wil be like. who will be there? who is mourning you? What did you wish most that you had done in your life?
Contemplate this and if tears come up let them flow. Being aware of your impending death helps you to live more fully in the present.
Do this for as long as you need. come back into your circle, always thank the directions you originally called in for being present, and always release them before you come out of your circle. Always honour the clockwise directions.
Come out of your circle and write down 5 things which you will begin to contemplate, then put into action on the Scorpio full Moon.
Feel those impulses and ground them in your body.
