Living the Pagan Life Pt 14

Esbats and ideas

Esbat's or the Witch's full moon.
This is a time for healing and ending old habbits while instilling new ones. Another thing to do is a house blessing.

An example I gave of something that I do at this time, is to dress, carve and blessing candles of a healing nature of those who are close to me (i.e. friends and family etc)

It's also good to sit outside in the moonlight and meditate on the moon. What it symbolizes, how the energy feels, new ideas of how I can incorporate the energy into my daily life.

It's also a good time to learn about how other cultures view the moon, what the moon is actually made of, etc...

Another Idea is to do a solitary Drawing Down the Moon ritual. Which is invoking the actual energy of the Goddess into yourself.

This is a good time to get in touch with the elements and balance them within yourself. You can harness lunar energy to help you balance the elements within.

This is a fantastic time to work with the element of Spirit. Since it embodies anything living, including yourself. The Moon is one of the many representations of the Spirit, as well as the Goddess. So working with it, or learning a Goddess Story and then reciting it under a full moon can be very enriching.

The craft is made to enhance your life, not consume it. Remember to keep balance in your life, as well as within yourself. Keep your magic practical.
