   "Our Lady's Faces"
August 4, 2001 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.
August 12, 2001 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.
August 18, 2001 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.
August 25, 2001 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.

Lughnasadh,
Lammas
 
      This will be the first harvest of the Wheel of the Year. The first gleanings of sustenance for the dark half of the Wheel, of which the Oak King slowly begins to, give way to the Holly King who was born at Litha, until "Yule". Now is the time when we begin to take stock of what we have sewn. There are many cultures that have a connection with this holiday, some are Celtic, Norse, Scandinavian..... to name a few.
 
Happy Lughnasadh!

Love & Peace
Green Blessings
Lady & Lord Bless
Blessed Be

At this Family Lughnasadh gathering
the Full Moon will be in Aquarius:

 
      The Moon in Aquarius brings out the rebel in all of us—for better or worst. Dressed in electric blue, in something outrageous, eccentric, and far too futuristic, this Moon is ready to break free of the past, to Just Say No to all the rules we just set in place in Capricorn. Now is the time when we're ready to break out of our ruts, try something different, and make sure everyone see us for the unique individuals we are, regardless of what we have to do. Now is a time of extreme, sudden, and abrupt actions, when we surprise even ourselves, at what we say, when we're prone to complete reversals and changing our minds at the last minute. This sign is ruled by Uranus, so personal freedom and individuality are more important than anything now. Our schedules become topsy-turvy, and our causes become urgent. Watch for a tendency to become fanatical, act deliberately rebellious without a reason, or break tradition just for the sake of breaking it.
