Resist, Create, Dream: Zines & Magic for the Full Moon

Dear Moon Muser,

It's the Virgo Full Moon, and the Flint hagstone I'm wearing around my neck carries this message:

"I bring the inspirations of the Divine realms into practical manifestation in the physical world."
— from The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian

I purchased it from the Museum of Magic, Fortune Telling and Witchcraft in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was found on a nearby beach. I believe that shore lies close to where my ancestors were once accused of witchcraft — for throwing stones like this into the sea and "causing" a ship to sink.

Wretched times — reflected in the rising fascism across the globe, and here in the USA, where I live part-time.

One way to resist this evil is to:
do your magick,
create fiercely, and
stay grounded and centered as you fight the good fight and walk your talk — whatever that means for you.

For me, it means writing these Moon Letters, drawing, painting, dreaming, meditating — and, of course, making zines. Zines are a punk-rock, activist, and effective way to get your message out — even if it's just for yourself and your own healing.

What is a zine?
”Zines are cheaply made printed forms of expression on any subject. They are like mini-magazines or home-made comic books...they have been around under different names (chapbooks, pamphlets, flyers). People with independent ideas have been getting their word out since there were printing presses. It's a great feeling to hold copies of your zine in your hand. Go ahead, there is no wrong way.”
— from Whatcha Mean, What's A Zine? by Mark Todd & Esther Pearl Watson

On a Personal Note

I've been invited to a Zine and Comic Festival at the Wignall Art Museum where I'll share my zines, Spell Cat postcards and Oracle/Tarot decks.

I'm thrilled to once again be included in the New Zealand Moon Calendar put out by the Creative Cronies. I'm also sad to say that this will be their last year doing the calendar, as they are retiring and will instead focus on their web gallery. Two of my images from last year's series of Hybrid Shadow Faeries will be included.

I'll have these zines available for sale soon! And if you'd like your soul reading to include a zine created just for you, please let me know.

Sparkly Blessings!

TAROT QUESTIONS for the Lovers Card + a Poem

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help resonate with the Full Moon in Taurus. The questions below are from the excellent workbook by Mary K. Greer: Tarot for Yourself.

1. What significant relationship are you involved in?
2. How does this relationship mirror your own sense of self-worth?
3. What choice or decision do you need to make?
4. What responsibility will you have to take based on your decision?
5. What needs to be combined, synthesized or brought together?

Lover Mermaids: The Fates Draw Closer

I surround myself with Love
open my pores
feel.

Then share this healing
with Mama Earth, her water, water spirits,
life blood.

I feel in that moment of darkness,
inner womb-moon-ness,
the birds quieten, my crystal hums
and time stops.

We are love.

Emperor Mermaid: A Traveller Should Know the Truth of Where They are Going

In this Neuroverse
of Safety
We are sovereign beings
connected by choice.

Blowing bubbles 
in time
slowly expanding,
our senses
inclusive, gentle.

Our breath
bouncing, colliding,
conjoining, still.

Until, 
breaking the surface,
Bursts,
unmarketable, invisible,
yet essential
as Dark Matter Calvin Cycles.

TAROT QUESTIONS for the Magician Card + a Poem

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help resonate with the New Moon in Virgo since the  Magician card is ruled by the planet Mercury which is the ruler of Virgo. The questions below are from the excellent workbook by Mary K. Greer: Tarot for Yourself.

1. Where are you focusing your energy?

3. What skills and abilities are needed in this situation?
4. How are you communicating with others?
5. What do you want others to believe or see?

Magician Mermaid: The Energy Really Flows

Let me drown
quickly
beautifully
So I may become
mermaid again.

Carry me to 
my Sea Home.
Let me be 
brave enough
to swim,
breathe in
dark oxygen
created 12,000 feet under the ocean surface
in the deepest of the deep 
waters.

These polymetallic nodules or “battery rocks”
make miracles
keeping us alive
when we plunge 
so deep
it feels like we’ll
never return.
