new
Though not an astrologer, even I can sense that this last new moon of 2024 carries special weight. Not only has it closed out a tumultuous year, but also the 100-year life of America’s sorely-missed former president, Jimmy Carter.
It feels like we’re moving through a door.
Here’s something I read the other night that shows us where we are now—
Night is the origin…. Night is the blackness of procreation, for everything issues forth from blackness into light. We ourselves were born from the blackness of the womb into the world of light.
This is Raven Grimassi, in his book “What We Knew in the Night.” (That’s an affiliate link, btw.) He’s Turing us away from the idea that blackness is the absence of light. Darkness, he explains, is but shadow, or the absence of light. Blackness, however, is what exists in the primordial, fertile void.
Grimassi continues—
Before any suns were created in the universe, there was the blackness of outer space…. There was only blackness, and it was first.
We’re on the cusp of something new here. We haven’t walked this path before. We don’t know what to expect, but the good news is that this time is very potent. We have a chance now to affect our lives and the world around us than we usually do.
Let’s be deliberate. How would we want things to be, in the most perfect of all worlds?
There’s a real chance now to bring that into being.
Let’s work together for it.
Hey You — thanks for joining me for 5 Minutes of Peace. I’m not a witch, or an astrologer, but am indebted to those who are for the inspirations around this episode. I hope that those of you who are witches aren’t too thrown my my use of “amen” at the close. It’s the language I use. Please add your own, with my blessings.
Happy New Moon, and Happy New Year to all. Let’s create something worthy of our ancestors in 2025!
