Crafting Your Magic:
The Barley Moon is the time to reap the harvest of magic cast at the beginning of the summer season. It’s a time for the powerful assertive energy of Leo to give way to the calmer vibrations of Virgo. Do magic at this time to cleanse before the winter, cleansing not only your personal space, but intangible aspects as well. Clear out unwanted rubbish, whether it be inertia, conflict, indecisiveness, or some other personal weakness. As the summer winds down and wildlife begins to prepare itself for the dark months to come, this is where the heart of your magic lay as well.
Yep, time to go through my chest of drawers and clear clothing this cycle hehe!
Thank you and Bright Blessings.
Thanks Amythyst, just the reminder I needed. Now I understand my urgent “nesting”. I’ve even been cleaning out drawers and closets.
Thank You Amythyst for this very important reminder. I certainly have much to be rid of and actually felt the pull to start cleansing a month ago, and yet I haven’t done so. So much negativity surrounding and within this house. I have so much banishing to do here. I also would like to thank you for the special you gave on your new book, The Spiritual Feminist for the Kindle , a steal of a deal for the e-book @ .99 cents. I purchased it that day. I also have the paperback edition which I pre ordered. Goddess knows I haven’t had time to do much reading but I’m excited to have both versions.
