New Moon in Gemini…
For every Esbath I come up with some kind of a Ritual. Usually I cover things like spiritual wisdom, fortifying the spiritual bonds, financial stability, personal freedom, and some such… But today was different. Beginning with the eerie dream that fell on the Dark Moon. The first thing I remember from the dream is that I’m being given a golden handheld telescope, I’m walking down the concrete coastline of some port in the unnamed city. I do not remember the person who handed me the monocular, except that it was a tall individual, taller than me by far, and he was wearing dark colors. The first think I came to observe in the twilight-colored sky was the New Moon; without the handheld telescope I could see its crescent shape illuminating the pink sky, but the moment I gazed at it through the golden telescope I could see its shadow side, its craters, and soft, silvery glow as if it was within my grasp. Behind it I saw a bright red dot. At first I wondered whether it was Jupiter or Mars… But when I notices another reddish dot some feet below the Moon itself, I thought to myself *it must be Mars…* Jupiter was below the Moon. I stood there and gazed at the planetary objects for quite a while, when someone snatched me by my arm and pulled me onto a black boat.
The next thing I remember is being welcomed by a friend whom I haven’t seen in a long time; she’s Gemini and she needed my help. But first, she presented me with my crystals – I wondered how did they come into her possession, but then she said “Someone stole them from you”, and I got that unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. I went through the pile of crystals presented to me on a green cloth and I recognized some of my most used, not to say ‘favorite’, gemstones. Soft pink Tulite was at the middle of the pile, and next to it was an enormous Labradorite and Larvikite. I grabbed the whole lot of them, but the first to touch my hand was Tulite, oh how I love that stone… And then, I realized with what my friend needed help with – there were dead bodies all around us, the place where I found myself looked like a battlefield of old – it was a massacre. The atmosphere was greenish-grey and there were radiating details such as grey building, dark-green grass, green cloth and red blood like a strong contrast splattered everywhere. She took me inside the grey, concrete building, lead me to her apartment on the last floor, all the while we had to step over dead bodies and blood puddles. When we finally climbed to her place, we came upon her husband and another man who were pulling the body of the dead Priestess – she was clad in black, with short greyish hair, open, haunting eyes that stared into nothing and blood had stained her black robe. They ushered me to help them with the body, and unwillingly I took her by the robe and pulled. They made me help them pull her down to the cellar where the town’s well lingered; and they wanted to dispose of her body in the well, but the well had grey cement stairs in it that stretched deep into its dark depths and I was worried that the body won’t sink, that it will float. So I came up with the idea that we should curl the body beneath the stairs, and so we did. They placed her head first and her feet were pointing upwards, at the last moment of her sinking I realized that my favorite Labradorite stone was has found itself around her neck and even though it floated behind her – it was still attached to her with a red rope, and the well’s water was murky and even though I could still see it glistening clearly, I couldn’t make myself reach into that water and grab it. I felt incredible sadness in my chest.
I woke up.
After that kind of a dream the day was set to be filled with unsettling energy. And it was, I was on the edge throughout the day, all kinds of compulsive thoughts raced through my head, and beyond the conscious part, there was an unrest in my gut.
I scheduled the launch of the site for today even though it was finished days ago, because I wanted to make a special occasion out of it – New Moons are great for new beginnings. And this site wasn’t solely my creation, no sir. My best friend, long-term partner, and the love of my life made it from scratch :) and he bore with me throughout all the uselessness in its technical creating – I’m already like those elderly people who nag their grandchildren to show them how to use the simples of phones – I’m useless for high-tech craftsmanship. My dear friends Marijana and Ole had a lot of patience for me, too. They explained to me some knacks about the whole thing that goes unnoticed on the outside, they gave me useful tips, eliminated my chances for making mistakes and taught me a lot of tricks! And they even promoted my freshly hatched site helping it come into this reality from beyond <3 My precious Coven friends gathered for me and participated in the Esbath Ritual in my honor and poured their love, energies and intent into my purpose, selflessly! By the end of the Ritual I was feeling liberated, relieved and humbled. I was fall to my knees before my friends – they humble me relentlessly, I am forever and eternally grateful to them and for them! Friends are your greatest treasure – mark my words guys ^v^
Maybe that’s just my 11th house stellium talking, but boy oh boy am I lucky and blessed to have such marvelous celestial beings on my side and taking care of me… The concept of Friends saved my life many times throughout my turbulent experiences, and the realness of friends that I’ve had the honor to experience and feel makes me want to do it all better, harder, and stronger!
So this site is like a love child of my partner (in crime), my close friends (aka family) and me. It’s not just a site – it’s a small part of my big world in which magic is real, forces between light and dark are clear, and friendships are pure and strong as that of Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins.
Cheers to you all, have a marvelous day, and don’t forget to hug a friend (whether that friend is your dog/cat, a tree, or a homo-sapiens) <3
