Gisteren stond de Maan vol in het vurige teken Ram, voelde jij het ook zo sterk? Ik word momenteel uitgedaagd om mijn eigen behoeften helder te krijgen en hiervoor te gaan vechten, in plaats maar steeds om de goede lieve vrede mee te waaien met alle winden. En ja hier in Nederland stormde het dus ik moet stevig in mijn schoenen staan om dicht bij mijzelf te blijven. Een Jachtmaan dus, een Maan die ondersteunt the gaan jagen op wat wij [...]
Ik wens je een overvloedig Lughnasadh! For another language please use the translation button in the sidebar. Het einde van de zomer kondigt zich al aan, je voelt en ruikt het in de lucht. Het is tijd om te oogsten. Vandaag kun je Lughnasadh (of Lammas) vieren, dit is een oogstfeest waarbij van oudsher dankbaarheid werd geuit voor de overvloed van Moeder Aarde. Ik heb de neiging om me melancholisch te voelen op deze dag. De zomer nadert zijn einde , [...]
How are you? I hope you had a peaceful Dark and New Moon period. The New Moon in Cancer presents a perfect opportunity to be still. Take a deep breath and allow yourself to recharge your batteries. Cancer is a sign of nurture and reflection. During the New Moon phase, our energy is more inward focused, we make deeper contact with our inner world and emotions and this is now enhanced by the sensitive sign of Cancer. Chances are that you [...]
How have you been feeling this last week or so? If you are feeling like you are in a blender of emotions and strong energies, unable to focus and confused, please know you are not alone and that the Super Blood Moon Eclipse of last Wednesday probably played/plays a big role in this. And don't worry as this is a time of powerful transformation and internal awakening. Eclipse season It is Eclipse Season! Eclipses, if used consciously, are considered thresholds to [...]
This Beltane post is rather late as I wasn't at home that weekend and needed some time to integrate and sit down to write it all down. This year I celebrated Walpurgisnacht and Beltane at Earth Awareness in Teuge, The Netherlands for a Psilocybin mushroom ceremony. Earth Awareness is one of the oldest and biggest off grid centre of the Netherlands. The creators Mark and Maya and many volunteers have built a beautiful Nature Temple here. This is an initiation centre [...]
Today is King's Day in The Netherlands (no comment) and a Full Moon in Scorpio (here it was Full at 5.33 am this morning). This Moon is also called the Egg Moon or Hare Moon with connections to 'coming out of the egg', setting goals, taking steps, rebirth, fertility and protection.
Today the Moon is dark. A time for stillness, introspection and contemplation. A time to do our shadow work and feel what you need to create in the new moon cycle. The Moon will be new in Aries tomorrow. Actually five signs will be in Aries!! Things are getting hot! Aries teaches us to believe in ourselves and stop seeking approval of others. This is so powerful and exactly what we need now more than ever! Aries nudges us towards independence [...]
Happy Ostara!! As the flowers re-emerge this Spring, we are also collectively re-emerging. Much of the world has been in lockdown, waiting to return to community and festivities. Yesterday, day and night were equal at length. Today we celebrate the astrological new year as the sun rises in fiery Aries. Throughout history, this time has been celebrated by our ancestors. Today we celebrate Ostara, a time of reawakening and of balance between light and dark, as we honor the Spring Goddess Ostara. [...]
At the beginning of this month we celebrated Imbolc, the midpoint of Winter and the last, usually coldest and most bleak stretch of the journey through the biting dark months towards the Spring time and the rebirth of the Earth. At the moment I am typing this my desk is bathing in sunshine. We had 18 degrees Celsius weather this week which is more suiting Spring/Summer here in The Netherlands. While the week before we had snow and ice with temperatures [...]
The Ghetto Tarot is an interpretation of the well-known traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck by photographer Alice Smeets. Set in the Haitian ghetto, these fresh scenes were inspired by those originally created in 1909 by the artist Pamela Colman-Smith. The scenes were replicated by Alice Smeets with the assistance of a group of Haitian artists called Atis Rezistans using only material they were able to find or create locally. While Tarot originated many years ago when the circumstances within the world seemed very [...]
