FlyingTacoMoose Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Just curious, does anyone here have and rituals they do with their cards during the full or new moons? I am starting something new tonight where I plan on putting my cards in order during the new moon of each month to reset the energies. If anyone else has traditions like this I'd love to hear about it!
Barleywine Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Every month on the New Moon, I try (but often forget) to do a Lunar Month Look-ahead reading, using some "lunar phase" tokens as the centerpiece. I've started using only the minor cards for this because they are more representative of the kind of daily routines the Moon symbolizes. I used astrologer Dane Rudhyar's eight-phase Lunation Cycle as the model. Each pair of cards spans a roughly 3.5-day period from beginning to end. Here's what it looks like: Edited March 4, 2020 by Barleywine
53rdspirit Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, @Barleywine. So would the 2Clubs and 8Swords be the Dark Moon and so on clockwise? Just this past Dark Moon, I started a monthly lunar cycle reading and I wasn't happy with the spread, so I'm looking for something I like better. I must set my phone alarm to remind me monthly of each Dark Moon. {{{sigh}}} Edited March 4, 2020 by 53rdspirit I can't count
Barleywine Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) No, the Moon moves counterclockwise through the zodiac on a monthly basis, so the First Quarter is at the bottom and the Last Quarter is at the top. So the 2 of Batons to the 3 of Batons would span the 3.5 day period from the dark of the Moon to the Waxing Crescent. I tried to show that progression with my painted stones.
