Full Moon Invocation
This invocation by Qayyum Johnson Tree seed filling the air today, swifts & swallows taking to their serious play. The white goddess, fertile, cool, dispassionate, WIDE. Charmer of water—conveyance of blessings, teachings, insight, hard lessons. Allowing illumination in the darkness. The full moon rises when the empty sun sets. Both burn with antipodal fuel—yin-yang. Doing […]

Cultivating PRESENCE: Guest blog from Worktrader Emma
