26th Day After New Moon ~ The Queen of Death
26th Day After New Moon ~ The Queen of Death
I release. I trust.
“Take back the night,
since when did you believe there was a wrong or right
the dark side of the moon is white, only shadowed light
you are not flawed or broken,
the dark side of the moon is but an eternal token
of one side in the journey to wholeness.”
(from The Alchemy of Ecstasy)

Right before the Dark Moon we have the moon phase of the Queen of Death, “She Who Leads the Depth Descent Within“. She is Inanna, Persephone, Hecate…She is peace, authenticity, release, non-resistance, completion, letting go…She is the bat, the vulture, the panther… She is deep black….She is the death shroud…She is the black pearl, black tourmaline, obsidian, star jasmine, black orchid…She is the five pointed star… She offers you freedom from ego-control, self-destruction, self-sabotage, fear, denial, resistance, depression, hopelessness…She is here to free you into the SPACE, into the VOID all of that came from, YOU came from… If you only release and trust Her….If you only release everything you think you know…all your resistance…all you control….and let Her guide you into the Unknown…that is only unknown to your mind, of course, since You Are EVERYWHERE and EVERYWHEN, in every particle of Creation. How could it be otherwise?…Nothing is really unknown to You….if you let go, release and trust Her to guide you into the Infinite Void that is only empty to the mind….
“This aspect of the Goddess acknowledges and empowers through consciously composting the masks of the small ego. The Queen of the Underworld unmasks and unveils, stripping us naked of the ego’s illusions. She removes the masks of preferred identifications and definitions of the small self. She asks us to courageously walk into the unknown and the murky subconscious realms to retrieve the gifts held there.” (The Alchemy of Ecstasy)
This phase of the moon the invitation is to look at the dark side of the moon that is “only shadowed light”! To look at what you have been shying away, what you have been resisting, what you have been looking away from…What you have been avoiding in fear, in angst…What you have been running away from… What if the so called darkness wasn’t dark and the so called bad wasn’t bad at all? Would you be willing to try a new pair of glasses the Queen of Death is handing you? Would you be willing to look at what you have made yourself blind to in hopes to keep the darkness outside of you…Would you be willing to see the Light, the Love, the consciousness in all the darkness? The gift in it? The WHOLENESS, ALL OF YOU beyond any polarity and duality of dark and light? No less is being offered to you this day… the death of your small “i”‘s, of all the “i”s you think you are…i am this, i am that….i am good, i am bad, i am lovable, i am unlovable….Have you noticed that all of them come in duality pairs? Have you noticed that you cannot be good but not bad, you cannot be lovable but not unlovable…In the realm of duality if you are one polarity you are the opposite polarity by default… all of those false selves that are only distortions of a self that is not YOU! Would you be willing to release all the small “i am”‘s you created into existence and let all of them die…. and become the Space they came from, so you are re-born as I AM that cannot die?
Here’s to your taking back the night,
