Dearest moonbeams, we are just about to complete another lunar cycle as we enter into the dark moon phase today. Tomorrow, we welcome in the New Moon in Gemini. Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac and we continue our journey of the self which we began with the New Moon in Aries. Last moonth with Taurus we began the investigation of the throat chakra and how we express ourselves - we continue that journey with Gemini which is very much to do with communication and in particular how we take our ideas out into the world. Gemini is the first of the air signs and it rules the realm of ideas, communication and consciousness. Combining Gemini's air element with it's placement in Spring/Summer is what gives it this delightful whimsical quality. Gemini's are curious and inquisitive and it can sometimes be a challenge getting them to focus on one thing at a time or getting them to complete tasks - often they're off on to the next thing before the previous thing is completed. Gemini rules the third house in astrology which is about teaching, learning and communication. It is ruled by Mercury - the planet of the mind and communication - Mercury is also referred to as the trickster of the zodiac. As we write this blog, we are still for the most part in a period of lockdown so we wanted to dedicate this blog post to all things to with the mind. If we can't travel outside physically, Gemini invites us to travel with our mind. For New Moon in Gemini we are awakening our inner Alchemist and Philosopher, our book nerd and our playful side! At a time where it feels like there is so much restriction this a great opportunity to expand our minds. key themes/words: adaptable, mercurial, intelligence, imagination, playful, communication, storytelling, whimsy, web-weaving, connection, community, contemplation, curiosity, meditation, mindfulness, daydreamering. The Air ElementAs we mentioned above, Gemini is an Air sign and with each New Moon it's always a lovely practice to connect to the element of that New Moon. Air is thought, ideas, communication, sound, expression, consciousness, creativity, spring, connection and the mind. Moon in Gemini is a time to deeply connect to the power of the mind. The mind is the creator of all our experiences and is the architect of our reality. Gemini invites us to harness the power of our mind by directing our energy to innovation, creativity and elevating our consciousness. The constellation of the twins can be seen to represent the left and right sides of the brain and we can ask ourselves if these two halves are in balance. Do we dwell more in the left brain - the analytical and methodical? Or do we dwell more in the right brain - the creative and artistic side? Too much right brain and we might be away with the fairies, too much left brain and we can close ourself off from wonder and imagination, analysing things until all the fun goes out of them. The symbol of the twins also helps us to tune into this transitional time, Gemini has one foot in Spring and one in Summer and we are definitely in a state of transition at the moment. We are currently shifting from maiden into mother, from spring to summer and from life pre-lockdown to life post-lockdown. We find ourselves in liminal space. We can utilise this time for transformation. Synchronizing with this new moon is Venus going retrograde as she is about to complete her 8 year cycle. There's a sense in the collective at the moment of transformation, alchemy, metamorphosis and more and more people are referencing butterflies and the powerful imagery of their transformation to help us make sense of this time. Reflect on where you were 8 years ago and try to get a sense of what is trying to shift, what old way of being needs to die in order for you to be re-born? How are you alchemising all the lessons and experiences of the last 8 years to create a new and improved version of yourself? The AlchemistThere are a fair few archetypes associated with Gemini- the fairy, the philosopher, the pan, the messenger etc. As we were doing our research for this blog we were really drawn to the archetype of the Alchemist and started to research female Alchemists which we've featured below. The definition of Alchemy is "a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination." Alchemists are fascinated with human being's relationship to the world around them whether it be through the elements, the natural world or the cosmos. We thought this idea of Alchemy worked really well tied in with the theme of metamorphosis. It also ties in to Gemini's love of innovating and creating. As we stand at the threshold of a new way of being - in the alchemy lab of your heart and mind what would you like to concoct? How would you like to innovate a new way of being for yourself? "Alchemy is defined as the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary, sometimes in a way that cannot be explained. An example of using alchemy is a person who takes a pile of scrap metal and turns it into beautiful art." - YOUR DICTIONARY We can take inspiration from this quote above and look at how we can transform the seemingly ordinary of every day into something extraordinary. We can even learn to transform difficult situations into gold, by valuing the lessons in them. As you look back on the last 8 years, what gold can you find in all the challenges you have faced? In your journal, make a list of your gold! FEMALE ALCHEMISTS OF HISTORY HYPATIA Hypatia was a philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Egypt. She is the earliest recorded female mathematician and unfortunately her story doesn't end well. She lived at a time of great conflict between Christians, Jews, and Pagans and because of the nature of what she was teaching she was viewed as a Pagan. Hypatia was an incredibly popular teacher and had many followers and students which seemed to draw more and more hatred and anger from her enemies, in the end she was brutally murdered by a mob of Christians. But she remains a powerful female icon and representation of a sovereign woman dedicated to uncovering life's mysteries. You can watch the story of Hypatia in the film Agora featuring Rachel Weiss as Hypatia. MARY THE PROPHETESS Mary the Prophetess was an Alchemist and Inventor who lived in Egypt and is the first known/recorded Alchemist in history. She is famed for teaching on sacred union - the joining together of feminine and masculine and is quoted as saying: "Join the male and the female, and you will find what is sought." CLEOPATRA THE ALCHEMIST “An old alchemist gave the following consolation to one of his disciples: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.” ― Carl Jung Gemini GoddessesPolik-mana - BUTTERFLY MAIDEN Polik Mana is a Hopi Spirit Goddess of the Amazon and each year at Spring she is celebrated for pollinating flowers with her dancing and bringing the rain. There is a beautiful section on The Butterfly Woman in the book Women Who Run with the Wolves: "Butterfly Woman mends the erroneous idea that transformation is only for the tortured, the saintly, or only for the fabulously strong. The Self need not carry mountains to transform. A little is enough. A little goes a long way. A little changes much. The fertilizing force replaces the moving of mountains." - Women Who Run with the Wolves ISIS Isis is an ancient Egyptian Goddess of magic, healing, wisdom and the after-life. She is a wonderful Goddess of transition as she is known to help the dead on their journey and journeyed to the after-life herself to resurrect her husband Osiris. Isis is a mother Goddess and was worshipped in Egypt for over 7,000 years. She helps us to step into our power, truth and magic. Sheherazade Sheherazade features in the story One Thousand and One Nights. In the story, Sheherazade had infused herself with knowledge and wisdom and was similar to a high level Bard - knowing hundreds of poems and stories by heart. She is married to a King who at this point is marrying women for one day and then having them beheaded and re-marrying the very next day. When Sheherazade marries the King, he has already killed 1001 women. The king's first wife betrayed him with another man and so this is his plan to avoid being betrayed again. On the night of their wedding, Sheherazade begins to tell the King a story, he is so enthralled by her story he delays her execution till the day after and then the day after that. This goes on for 1001 nights and in the end the King is so in love with Sheherazade that he cancels her execution and she becomes Queen. Sheherazade teaches us the power of stories, wisdom and the arts. Vila Vila is an Eastern European shape shifting Goddess and protectress of nature. The Vile are Slavic nymphs of the earth, sky and waters. They are known to be beautiful but also deadly when crossed. They are associated with nature, dance and healing. Sophia Sophia is the feminine personification of wisdom. The Ancient Greek word Sophia can roughly be translated to skillful, intelligent and wise and the word Philosophia is translated to a love of Wisdom. Sophia helps to awaken our spiritual potential and guides us towards the light. Just like the Gemini twins, her story teaches about uniting the lower self of the psyche with the higher spiritual self. PSYKHE Psykhe is the Greek Goddess of the Soul and Spirit. In the stories, Goddess Aphrodite sets Psykhe a series of almost impossible challenges one of which includes a journey to the underworld. Psykhe triumphs and becomes immortal. Her story, similar to so many stories featuring the underworld, teaches us that we must journey into the shadows in our psyches to purify our souls and attain enlightenment. She is often depicted with Butterfly wings. Follow your whimsyGemini Moon invites us to follow our Whimsy. We find ourselves in between the light and playful seasons of Spring and Summer - the time of the year for honouring joy, wonder and playfulness. As we mentioned earlier, Geminis are often wondering off on mental tangents and have this infectious childlike curiosity and wonder, what would it be like to give yourself permission to follow your whimsy? Think of channeling Alice and Wonderland. “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland We have put together a playlist to help you connect to the spirit of Gemini and we particularly loved these lyrics by Aurora: "And we become night time dreamers And street walkers, small talkers When we should be daydreamers And moonwalkers and dream talkers" AURORA Here's our Spotify Playlist for New Moon in Gemini CLICK HERE Wondernoun
Gemini is the first of the Air signs and is also only the third sign in the Zodiac which is what gives it this inquisitive energy. Can we practice looking at the world through the eyes of a child? Look around at nature and marvel at the wonder all around you. We can receive so much wisdom and guidance from taking time to slow down and witness the divine in everything. You could set yourself a challenge to write down one thing each day that has filled you with wonder, better yet, share them in a our facebook group! "Wisdom begins in Wonder" - Socrates Communicating with natureGemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind. Mercury is also the messenger of the Gods, New Moon in Gemini is a wonderful time to check-in with our relationship to listening to our inner guidance and receiving messages from the Divine. Often, when we think about communication, we focus a lot on what we can/can't say. We ask ourselves if we're speaking our truth and being honest and open. But another key aspect of communication is listening. How good are we at listening? Do we listen to other people? Do we listen to ourself? Do we receive messages from our body, the world around us, and our intuition? We can use this period of life in the slow lane to fine tune our listening skills. One of the best ways to do this is to work with nature. There are so many messages, signs and teachings that nature can show us everyday if we just slow down to look and listen. RECOMMENDED READING Here are some books to help you connect to the natural world and be in communication with her: THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES REWILD YOURSELF THE GREEN WITCH THE ILLUSTRATED HERBIARY We LOVE this video and song by Aurora! Journaling Prompts- First of all, make a note of anything from this blog post that particularly spoke to you. - How would you like to connect to the AIR element over the next month? - Do you let yourself follow your whimsy? What would life look like if you let yourself do this? - Looking back on the last 8 years, what have you learned from all your challenges and experiences? - What within you right now is metamorphosing? Do you have a sense of the person you are changing in to? - How good are you at listening? Think about how much you listen to your own inner guidance and intuition. - Which side of the brain is more dominant for you, left or right? - Think of the story of Sheherazade, what knowledge, wisdom and stories would you love to fill yourself up with over the next month? What stories would you tell if you had to use them to save your life? Moon in Gemini intention setting ritualIf you can, collect some dandelion seeds for this ritual. Find a quiet and peaceful place in nature where you won't be disturbed (this can be your garden, or you can simply open a window) and hold your Dandelion seeds in your hands. Bring to mind your new moon intentions and then hold up your seeds to your mouth and whisper your intentions into your seeds. When you've finished and you feel you've imbued your seeds with your wishes, release them out into the air to be carried away by the nature spirits. Gemini Self CareGemini rules the lungs, shoulders, arms and hands so on days when the moon is in Gemini it's really lovely to connect to these parts of the body and take care of them. BREATHE Breathing practices are a wonderful way to connect to the element of Air but also a great way to bring calm and nourishment to our body. Our breath is our life force energy, it's our vitality, it's the very reason we are here! Just sitting for a few minutes and focusing your mind on the breath is incredibly effective for bringing the mind to peace, you can also tune into our theme of wonder and marvel at the mechanism of your body and how it breathes you. It breathes you all through the day and all through the night. Many Buddhist practitioners spend time each morning giving thanks that their breath has kept them alive through the night and they start the day with a deep sense of gratitude. As we focus on our breath in this way, we can also marvel at the connection between our breath and the breath of trees and plants. We draw in our life force energy from trees and they in turn draw theirs from us. We are interconnected! This is particularly comforting if we are in a time of isolation to remember that the world around you is sustaining you and you in turn are sustaining nature! MANTRA Reciting mantras out loud actually blesses the air in our environment as well as internally blessing our energy channels (nadis). Mantras are a wonderful way to practice devotion to a Deity or to make prayers and wishes for others. AROMATHERAPY Aromatherapy is another wonderful way to connect to the air element and infuse our home and environment with positivity and clarity. Essential oils that resonate really well with Gemini are the top notes such as Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Basil and Ravensara. You could use oils that resonate with the third eye and crown chakra such as lavender, sandalwood and frankincense. NOURISH YOUR MIND
Perhaps this month we could swap out time we normally spend watching netflix or scrolling on our phones and nourish our mind with books. Do you have a pile of books waiting to be explored?

Happy full moon dearest moonbeams! May's full moon goes by a few different names - the flower moon, the hare moon, the corn planting moon and the milk moon. We are connecting to it as the Hare Moon as we're still bathing in the energy of Beltane and the celebration of spring at it's fullest. The hare is a sacred symbol in celtic mythology with strong links to shapeshifting lunar goddesses and the Otherworld which is perfect for this Scorpio full moon. So, grab yourself a cuppa and snuggle up as we take you into the Wild Magic of this Super Full Moon. First of all, let's look at the astrology: Key words/themes associated with Scorpio are: transformation, passion, death, karma, emotions, intuition, magic, regeneration, rebirth, sovereignty, the witch, the dark goddess, the liminal. The sun is in the sign of Taurus and the moon is in it's opposite sign of Scorpio, as with every full moon, we use these seemingly opposing forces to help us shine the light of the full moon on our inner darkness and move forward with clarity and balance. Taurus is associated with the season of Beltane and Scorpio is associated with the season of Samhain - both of these times of year are associated with magic and the otherworld but they have very different energies. Beltane is about Spring, fertility, joy and celebration and Samhain is about death, journeying to the underworld and Autumn. Taurus as an earth sign invites us to be present, grounded and sensual, Scorpio as a water sign invites us to dive down into the shadows of our psyche and 'do the work'. Scorpios have an almost disdain for the mundane, the shallow and the ordinary and like to spend a lot of their time in quiet, deep contemplation on the how's and why's of the world and are also unafraid to confront topics such as death and dying. Scorpio has two ruling planets, Mars and Pluto. Mars brings the energies of sexuality, action and primal passions and Pluto has this connection to the underworld and therefore the cycles of death and rebirth and the parts of ourself that are unseen, hidden and secret. Scorpio is very much about making the unconscious, conscious. We have Scorpio, a water sign associated with the underworld and Taurus an earth sign associated with the earthly and material world. These signs appear to contradict each other but they actually invite us to establish balance between these two aspects of ourselves. We can check-in with where we dwell most often. Are we always off exploring the dark mysteries of the world, brooding, deep in thought but perhaps a little aloof? Or are we distracted by the trappings of the material world and do we shy away from thinking about the darker concepts of life? Balance between the Scorpio and Taurean energy would be this idea of being in the world but not of this world, the ability to stay connected to the truth of life - the cycles of life, death and rebirth whilst being grounded and present with our self and the people around us. There would be this peaceful, contented energy of enjoying the things of this life whilst having the ability to let them go when the time is right. "He who binds to himself a joy, Does the winged life destroy, But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise." - William Blake One of the best ways to harmonize these two energies is to look to nature! Being in constant communication with nature teaches us how to both enjoy the sensuality of flowers in full bloom whilst also not shy away from death and decay. Tuning into the cyclical nature of life teaches us to see the beauty in each moment. We absolutely love this short Botanical animation for capturing this beauty! (see above). Waking the WitchThe archetype of the Witch is often associated with the sign of Scorpio, Scorpio season takes place later in the year at Samhain (Halloween), a time of year for connecting to death, rebirth and magic! The archetype of the Witch still remains so misunderstood and misrepresented, so this Scorpio full moon, we invite you to explore this archetype in your own heart. Is your inner Witch waking up? Many people believe that the disconnection to nature's healing rhythms was severed with the persecution of the Witch. So much wisdom and common sense was lost when we lost the Witches of this world or forced them into hiding. The persecution of women as witches is a deep collective wound that we as sisters need to heal together. It's really important to unpack the word witch, it is often associated with the stereotypical image of a hag with warts who is bitter and throws curses on her enemies. Witches are often the bad guy in stories and in the time of the witch trials were to blame for failing crops, death and illnesses in the villages and even for things like bad dreams. When we delve into history and look beyond the patriarchal manipulation of this caricature we find that a witch would have been the woman in the village who held the knowledge of the seasons and wisdom of the moon, her magic would have been the blending of herb and root to heal ailments, she would have been the midwife, the storyteller and the oracle and she would have held people's love and respect. Witches were feared because they were women that knew they had everything they needed within themselves to be well and to be happy, they could commune with the divine with no need of a medium and could help others to do the same, because of this they were a threat and one that needed to be dealt with. During the witch-hunts of early modern Europe, tens of thousands of people were put on trial, tortured and executed as witches, three quarters of whom were women. The word Witch carries pain, misunderstanding and fear and requires a lot of healing in the collective psyche of both men and women. Excitingly, we now find ourselves in a time of people reclaiming their wild magic! Men and women throughout the world are reclaiming their wildish natures and re-learning how to honour and live with the cycles of the seasons and the rhythms of the moon. The wild is rising! Here are a few of our favourite books for connecting to and reclaiming the Witch: THE FAMILIARS by STACEY HALLS THE GREEN WITCH by Arin Murphy-Hiscock THE RULES OF MAGIC by ALICE HOFFMAN THE WILD FOLK by SYLVIA V LINSTEADT WAKING THE WITCH by PAM GROSSMAN THE WITCH by RONALD HUTTON Blood MagicScorpio rules the sexual organs, urinary tract, hips, pelvis and sacrum and it's element is water. Scorpio moon is a wonderful time to reflect on your relationship to your cycle . If you're still bleeding some guiding questions to sit with are: How do you view your blood? Do you view it as primal magic? Or are you ashamed of it? Are you aware of your cycle or each month is it still something that takes you by surprise? Do you put expectations on yourself to be the same throughout the month or do you honour your internal rhythms with rest and self care? Perhaps you could start a cycle tracker journal. We absolutely love the work of Melanie Swan over at the sacred womb - she has a podcast dedicated to all things womb and has some wonderful free resources as well as running courses to help you reclaim your cycle and your magic. It's absolutely magical that the cycles of a woman's body so beautifully match the cycles of the moon and the seasons. There is so much we can learn from this constant flow of life, death and rebirth. Womb Breathing Womb breathing is such a simple and yet beautiful way to connect to yourself and to feel grounded and at peace. Find somewhere to sit where you can be comfortable and undisturbed. Place your hands either on your womb or you can take Yoni Mudra and rest your thumbs on your womb. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath. As you breathe, begin to take your breath all the way down to the bowl of your pelvis. You could even imagine your pelvis like a witch's cauldron as per Sally Lister's description above or focus on the vibrant orange colour of the sacral chakra. With every breath, feel a warmth and a spaciousness being created. Stay as long as you like with this practice. Scorpio GoddessesOne thing many of these Goddesses share in common is that they are misunderstood and misrepresented - their herstories have been changed and manipulated to perpetuate a Patriarchal narrative. You could associate most of these Goddesses with the archetype of the Enchantress which is the archetype between the Mother and the Crone that so often gets missed out - it's also associated with the Witch and the Medicine woman. The Enchantress phase in a woman's life is often referred to as her second maidenhood, it's a woman who is fully stepping into her power through the culmination of all her life experience after her time of being a mother (that might be a mother to actual children or a mother to her work, her projects etc) - and she is once again sovereign. It is the pre-menstruation part of our female cycle, that part where we are so deeply connected to our intuition and magic and it's so interesting to look at the narratives surrounding these parts of our both our life cycle and monthly cycle. What does society teach us about the enchantress? She's either a crazy witch who meddles in the happiness of others and is ruled by her bitterness and anger or she's not there at all and we skip from Mother straight to Crone. There are so many women in their Enchantress phase who are locked out of their power because they are viewing themselves as a crone before their time. Women during the premenstrual phase of their cycle and during Menopause are deeply shamed for their 'unstable' emotions and many women are taught to distrust their feelings during both of these times. Another way of looking at this is that the Dark Goddess is revealing all that is not true, all that needs to die, all that needs to be stripped away in order for the fullest most potent version of to step forward. Moon in Scorpio teaches us to embrace our Enchantress. The part of our self that uses our emotions as a tool for divination, the part of us that won't stand for falsehoods and mistruths and would rather be in the company of herself rather than the company of the fake. It's time to embrace your too much woman! It's time to tell a different story about these Goddesses and about our self! LILITH Is there a Goddess more Vilified than Lilith? - Adam's first wife who refused to submit to his will and was therefore cast out. Even to this day Lilith is depicted in many stories and TV shows as en evil temptress who brings nothing but destruction. Lilith helps us reclaim our wild and call back all the parts of ourselves that we have buried or hidden out of shame. She teaches us that NO is a complete sentence. "Like the screech owl for whom Lilith is named, Her screech cannot be silenced. She is all women who have been subjugated, humiliated, and cast out from male-defined society. Her rage is the rage of women who have realized that our natural women’s sexuality has been made dirty by men who fear the power of it and the power of free women." - Motherhouse of the Goddess HEKATE Hekate is an ancient Goddess associated with the Dark Moon, the liminal, witchcraft and magic and is often called The Queen of Witches. She guides Persephone on her journey through the underworld and so we can turn to her on our own journey of transformation. KALI Kali is the hindu goddess of death, karma and transformation. If you're having trouble breaking free from certain Karmic patterns and habits, want to move forward but keep clinging on to the past then Kali can help you with her powerful fire of transformation. She has a wrathful appearance showing that she helps us to conquer our inner demons and fears. Beware when calling upon Kali, she is the great mother and will give us what we need in order to transcend but it won't necessarily be what we want. CERIDWEN Ceridwen is another goddess of transformation, her name comes from the celtic word 'Cerru', meaning cauldron. She is a shapeshifting Welsh Goddess associated with creativity, power, the moon and magic. You can read the story of Ceridwen here. MORGAN LE FAYE What do we think of when we think of Morgan Le Faye? Dark witch who tried to kill King Arthur? Evil temptress? Bitter woman? Look closer and we once again find that her story was changed. Morgan Le Faye was a Druid Priestess, a healer and Medicine Woman who was more than likely protecting her people and her land. There are some wonderful books written about Morgan Le Faye in this different light such as The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradle. MARY MAGDALENE Again, one of the most misrepresented women in history! Mary Magdalene was a High Priestess and teacher who taught at the side of Jesus. Her story has been changed from a woman who was the most trusted of Jesus' disciples to being a prostitute who he took pity on. Many women today are drawn to Mary Magdalene's energy and discovering her truth for themselves. She teaches us the power of enduring love and being committed to your path no matter what other people think about you. Express YourselfScorpio Moon often brings secrets and truths to the surface to be dealt with, cleansed and released. Honesty and communication was also a theme we explored during the New Moon in Taurus. Ask yourself if you're being honest with yourself and those around you? Are there words you long to say but are holding back for some reason? Mantra can be a wonderful tool to help open up the throat chakra. With Scorpio ruling the Sacral Chakra and Taurus ruling the throat, it's also time to have a look at our creativity which is associated with both of these chakras. Again, ask yourself if you are holding yourself back in anyway? What are your creative dreams and wishes? Journal about them, create vision boards and fill yourself up with inspiration and encouragement. If you want to dance, dance if you want to paint, paint, whatever it is that your soul is calling you to do, can you get out of your own way and express yourself fully. Who would you be if you let yourself shine? Journaling Prompts- How can you continue to wake the witch within you? - Who would you be if you stepped into your power? - Do you feel yourself dimming your light in order to fit into society's patriarchal structure? - How can you regularly connect to the magic of nature? Do you work with the moon? Do you work with plants? Or tarot? - Which of the Scorpio Goddesses spoke to you? - What is your relationship to your own internal cycles? - What is your relationship to transformation? Do you enjoy reinventing yourself or do you resist and struggle against changes in your life? - What are you longing to express? - What is your magic? And how can you share this with the world? - Check back on your New Moon intentions and ask yourself how you could embody those intentions on this full moon. For example, if your intention was to allow yourself to experience more pleasure, what could you do on this full moon to experience pleasure? Remember that full moons are the time to birth our dreams and intentions. Scorpio AromatherapyAs mentioned above, the chakra associated with Scorpio is the Sacral Chakra. Aromatherapy can be a wonderful way to balance this chakra:
Sacral Chakra Aromatherapy Blend This warming, spicy and soothing blend would be lovely rubbed into the lower back and lower belly (not suitable in pregnancy or whilst breast feeding) Choose 25ml of base oil 1 drop Sweet Marjoram 1 drop Jasmine 2 drops Ginger 3 drops Mandarin 2 drops Ylang Ylang Scorpio Diffuser Blend Cypress, Pine and Sage pure essential oils. Cypress is associated with Pluto, PIne with Mars and Sage with Samhain. This combination of oils is a great energetic clearer, perfect before or after ritual or spell work! Scorpio Full Moon Bath Using salts to cleanse is especially important during Beltane season when the veil between worlds is at it's thinnest. Here is a cleansing full moon ritual bath recipe to help you cleanse your energy: Epsom salts Dead Sea Salts Dried Rosemary Dried rose petals 1 drop Juniper Essential oil 1 drop Rosemary essential oil 2 drops Orange essential We hope you have enjoyed this blog, remember that both the energies of Taurus season and this Scorpio Full Moon are guiding us to embrace our WIld selves, reclaim pleasure as our birth right and give less F***s!
