On this day, may we recall the relationship farmers had with Harvest Moon as she rose just after sunset to provide light for them to harvest their crops when the light of day waned.
May we remember Archangel Michael as Michaelmus is celebrated by children throughout the world. There are countless accounts of this Archangel in writings that range from religious texts, novels, near death experiences, and spiritual circles. In fables, and texts, Michael was said to have defeated the dragon and is the angel of protection who provides courage and strength. We all have our internal dragons AND thankfully we are all graced with our internal Michael. As the season to move inward approaches, may we release that which is not longer needed and kindle our own inner light and illuminate the world that surrounds us.
May we remember the Chinese Moon Festival as the Chinese celebrate Autumn and their freedom from the Mongols. Dances and MOONGAZING (lovely) is a large part of this cultural celebration. Legend says that the Chinese prepared moon pies (because the Mongols did not eat them) with embedded instructions for their rebellion. They were told not to eat them until the day of the Moon Festival that took place on this day in 1368. Freedom from the dragon of oppression was their prize.
And so, as Neil Young sings so soulfully...
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancing'in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
On this night, let us remember to celebrate HER~that ONEderfull Full Moon energy that resides in each of us! May we release what is no longer needed. And May our Love Harvest be bountiful!
With Luminous Love from HER.
