"The Rebirth of Life"

Recently, I contemplated some out door gardening, alas the scent of Jasmine and Honeysuckle beckons in their own way. Thus, begins mowing the lawn and so forth...

However, surprisingly enough that is not the only new growth to occur. Especially, when it comes to life itself. Well, as the turn of the wheel would have it, I am dealing with moving…….to Charleston, SC. Well I'll be able to continue with the newsletter as usual so don't worry...

"Our Lady's Faces"
May 3, 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.
May 10, 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.
May 18, 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.
May 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 Beltaine gathering At Dragon Hills the Waxing Moon will be in Gemini:

Gemini Moons are built for activity. This is a mutable air sign, so it likes to move around-- quickly. When the Moon is here, we like to move around, too.

The Moon's costume now is a coat of many colors, so variety truly becomes the spice of life. Since Gemini is ruled by Mercury, now is when we're suddenly in the mood for conversation, puzzles, riddles and word games. We want two--at least two--of everything, and we're a bit more restless than usual. Now is a great time for letter writing, phone calls, or short trips. It's when you'll find the best short cuts, and when you'll need to take them, too. Watch for a tendency to become a bit scattered under this fun, fickle Moon.

*Blessed Be*
