| As of this past snowy January as I look out on snow drenched tree limbs and ground, I think about the Lady as she nourishes herself. For the new growth will be beginning soon. In its simplest form I think how I, myself, do the same thing, though I may shrug it off or dismiss it. The Lady & Lord have their own way of saying "Oh, no you don't". |

So Mote It Be! *Blessed Be* |

| Potpourri |
| Here's a little technical candle magick for you if you're inclined. Before inserting your votive candle in a holder try a teaspoon of water in the bottom first. When the wick is exposed to the water the flame is snuffed. Also, cleaning the glass is easier, of course, a lot of you already may know this. Hey, have fun! |

| February 5, 2000 | 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 12, 2000 | 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. | ||
| February 19, 2000 | Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene," and many others according to culture. | ||
| February 26, 2000 | 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. | ||

At this Family Ostara gathering At Dragon Hills the Waxing Moon will be in Virgo: |
| Here is the Moon at her most Discriminating. Wearing an efficient, tailored uniform, she's ready to take care of whatever needs work--no matter how much work 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, troubleshoot, and help. Virgo is the most helpful of all the signs, ready to take up a broom, mop, or gardening tool and offer her assistance. Now is when we're more health-conscious, work-oriented and duty-bound, too. So this is a great period during which to pay attention to our diet, hygiene, and daily schedule. |
