The New Moon is a time to examine hidden issues and to plan for new beginnings. Also called the Dark Moon, it symbolizes hidden knowledge, winter, dormancy, retreat, rest and recuperation.
Many ancient cultures believed that the Dark Moon Goddesses held the keys to life. These goddesses were not to be feared, but embraced. And to understand their teachings was to understand the deepest mysteries of life
On today’s new moon, I picked five goddesses from my Doreen Virtue’s Goddess Guidance Oracle Deck. To me, they all carry appropriate messages for this special time – to tune in, to release, and to plant new seeds.
SIGE
Quiet Time: “Take some quiet time alone to rest, meditate, and contemplate.”
HATHOR
Receptivity: “Allow yourself to receive. This will increase your intuition, energy, and ability to give to others.”
COVENTINA
Purification: “It’s time for a cleansing detoxification of your body and mind.”
MAEVE
Cycles and Rhythms: “Honor the cycles of your body, energy levels and emotions.”
KALI
Endings and Beginnings: “The old must be released, so that the new can enter.”
Do any of these goddesses speak to you? What phase of menstrual cycle are you presently in? We would to hear!

February 23, 2012 at 4:16 pmIndeed my dear friend. The dark moon is such a wonderful time for us to turn in, to let go, to heal and to renew. I have been meditating on my uterus in the past couple of days. Curious to see what messages it is delivering me this time…

February 22, 2012 at 8:59 pmi find the period of dark moon amazing !
an ideal and opportune time for retracting our energies and internalizing ~ reorienting ~ recentering ~ reconnecting with ourselves, and the Soul of Life ~ and even reconnecting with loved ones, but from within, rather than through external means ~
