Personal Shadows |
| As I watch Hecate (waning Moon) in the dark early morning hours as I lay in bed, she flirts and skirts among the clouds. She hides yet reveals secrets deep within. I realize the same applies to all things in nature. The Lady & Lord have a message for all, the question is are we willing to pay attention or overlook it? |
| Blessed Be |

Such is the question of the Triple Goddess? *Now, mind you, it matters not what your sex is or isn't......* Do you have within your Heart the Fire of Desire? Do you have within the Core of your Being the Power to Create? Do you have within your Mind the Wisdom to Guide? |
| *Blessed Be* |

| February 8, 1999 | Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, she's waning. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing, and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone, Grandmother, as she does not need light to see into the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see, the question is, "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate", and many others according to culture. | ||
| February 16, 1999 | New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate", and many others according to culture. | ||
| February 22, 1999 | Waxing Moon: Our Lady will be in her second phase, she's waxing. She is building energy and focusing it for whatever needs arise. Her name at this time is "Diana", and many others according to culture. | ||

**There is no Full Moon this month, only because this is a leap year.** |

Imbolc, Imbolg, Brigantia, Candlemas, also Groundhog Day |
| At this time in the Wheel of the Year, the Sun's solar rays are growing stronger and stronger. This is marked by candles ablaze, bringing back the warmth the Lady, Gaia, Earth Mother needs. The new seedlings will be bursting forth with life. As according to some cultures this being the beginning of Spring. Even in areas with snow and ice, for they are the blanket, life is anew beneath. This holiday is the second one in the line of Greater holidays next to "Samhain". All cultures have their own history of the holiday of "Imbolc". Regardless of culture, this is a lovely & sacred holiday. |

Aspects for Imbolc |
|

PM on the 2nd:
|
| The moon is in Virgo at Imbolc: |
| Here's the moon at her most discriminating. Wearing an efficient, tailored outfit that's specially designed for work, she's ready to take care of whatever needs it--no matter what it needs. This is the most detail-oriented sign out there, the sign most concerned with fixing, fussing, and tending to. This Moon sign puts us in the mood to clean, scour, sort, trouble-shoot, and help. Virgo is the most helpful of all the signs, ready to take up broom, mop, or gardening tool and offer her assistance. Now's when we're more health-conscious, work-oriented, and duty-bound, too, so this is a great period to pay attention to our diet, our hygiene, and our daily schedules. |
