The rains and winds of the somewhat chaotic Spring are
giving way to the bright Sun. And earth is bursting forth with signs of fertile
sensuality all around us.
Summer is on its way - with long days, warm nights and
celebration of the coming harvest of fruit.
We will celebrate the Union of Two becoming One this
month, also called the Dyad month, the month of Lovers. May is notorious for
weddings, with good reason. It is the time the ancients held their fertility
rights, often enacting the ritual of the Stranger coming to the chamber of the
Temple Priestess to ensure that a good harvest would be on its way. Our ancient
ancestors didn't see themselves as separate from the land around them, but
deeply part of it. And thus what they did affected the harvest and vice versa.
One in the same.
This Full Moon will be in Sagittarius, opposite of
Gemini. This creates tension between the quest for higher knowledge (Sag) and
the need for academic accolades (Gemini). How can we live in the space between
these two, becoming neither one nor the other - but allowing both at the same
time within us? Marrying the two into one?
Cost: $10 - $20 (sliding scale)
