Alice and The Hades Full Moon

Following on from woodland dreamer's post...

The Full Moon in Scorpio really shines a light on all those dark and mysterious things that we would often like to ignore, bury or hide away.
This Hades Full Moon allows us to traverse the underground; it gives us permission to reflect and transform ourselves from within.


Last years Scorpio Full Moon - May 2011


So, just as Alice ventured underground, so must we, if we are to face ourselves and allow the necessary changes to take place...




"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"



"Who Are You?"


 


"What Size Do You Want To Be?"



The Scorpio Full Moon also feels like a culmination of the Taurus New Moon. A time to reflect on what we began at the New Moon, and what we actually achieved. After all, it is really a cycle, with Taurus and Scorpio being polar opposites on the zodiac wheel.
If we look back even further, to the New Moon in Scorpio six months ago... what transformations started back then? Now is the time to use the power of the Scorpio Full Moon to reflect and seek clarity on those things too. How far have you come? How much further do you need to go? As Alice said "I wonder if I've been changed in the night?"

Speaking of all things Moon-ly...

The coming Full Moon in Scorpio is on my mind.... I always have such a strong feeling of kinship with this particular lunar event.

Encouraging us to really go deeply and intimately within ourselves, the psyche... to look at the meaning of life, the hidden aspects of ourselves and our relationships.... our shadow.

On this night, I will be burning mugwort and sandalwood and honouring Cerridwen in all her dark transformational glory.... burning away the old to allow for regeneration and the new, to re-ignite the quest for meaning and awaken once more to my true self, which too often gets lost in the day-to-day running of 'life' and 'things'...
