A New Practice
Posted on | December 12, 2008 | No Comments
At the last new moon, I gathered my materials together and set my Talking Self’s conscious intention to delve into Touch Drawing as a way to engage my Younger Self’s (aka the Fetch) sense of play, using its unconscious, imaginal language, and connect to the energies of Sagittarius New Moon. For me this practice does a few things concurrently. It is a way to begin introducing these two parts of my triple soul and encouraging them to play nicely together. A stronger relationship between Talking and Younger selves will strengthen communication and connection with my Deeper (or God) Self. By doing this practice in conjunction with new and full moons and with an awareness of the zodiac signs, I seek to learn more about how these energies of the cosmos feel within my body and my awareness.
I compiled some information about the zodiacal energies in the new and full moon from a couple of different sources. I particularly like the following:
- StarWeaver’s Corner
- Astrowisdom.com
- About.com Moon Wisdom
- And I do a free natal chart of the moon at Astrolabe using the info from Astrowisdom.com and my location.
I shut the door to keep the kitten and other distractions out of my studio. Next to me sat my Lucky, who had been recently diagnosed with cancer. Listening to tribal drumming on my iPod, I set my intention for the working:
To open myself to my creativity, joy, and life purpose.
After 19 drawings and 90 minutes (which didn’t feel at all like 90 minutes), I felt done. I taped all my drawings on the wall of my studio where they have lived since.
Tonight, I will take them down and do another session with the full moon in Gemini (which happens at 11:37am Friday when I am at work). I am curious how Mutable Air will feel different than Mutable Fire. I am also curious what will come up now that Lucky is no longer physically at my side.
