as i write tonite on the eve of the harvest moon in the northern hemispere when we return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us, when we return thanks to the rivers and streams which supply us with water, when we return thanks to all herbs which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases, when we return thanks to the moon and stars which have given to us their light when the sun was gone, when we return thanks to the sun that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye and when we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in Whom is embodied all goodness, and Who directs all things for the good of Her children, i want to post this beautiful invocation of intention for this powerful portal of fresh starts…

this Harvest Moon in Aries is here to amplify our greatest gratitude and light up our dreamer within to reflect, celebrate and complete… the Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs nearest to the Autumnal Equinox, which we recently celebrated in the northern hemisphere… the Equinoxes represent balance and harmony, and bring powerful energies of change marking the shift of seasons and reminding us of transformation, both in the world around us and deep within our own beings… as our Earth shifts, so do we…

this moon invites our entering into the power of experiencing life beyond duality, of living in the field out beyond wrongdoing and rightdoing by incorporating both the inner and the outer realms, the light and the dark, the highs and the lows, the ups and the down, your inner king and queen / masculine and feminine, and synthesizing these creative powers of resonant polarity…this Seeress Moon is the sacred moment of eternity to activate and ground our visions and dreams…

“We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but on the positive affirmation of peace.

We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war. Somehow, we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race, which no one can win, to a positive contest to harness humanity’s creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all the nations of the world. In short, we must shift the arms race into a peace race.

If we have a will – and determination – to mount such a peace offensive, we will unlock hitherto tightly sealed doors of hope and transform our imminent cosmic elegy into a psalm of creative fulfillment.”
