”moon”
Let us take a moment and look at the origin of the word “moon”. As we have learned, Knowledge is Power… so let us learn some things new! The word “moon” itself being of Old English derivatives can be traced back linguistically to Latin origin in the word “mensis”, or “month”. This was because the moon has always been our species’ way of tracking “seasonal time”. In times passed, Yona Circle has been required to complete a “moon spell” for the “month” of January as part of their Leadership Training.
Please see below for spell parameters that are typically given.
”JANUS MONTH SPELL
We are going to create a “Month Spell” together, each in the way of our personal Craft, no matter the Path that is walked.
CORRESPONDENCES
The correspondences of this spell may be many or few, large or small. The only thing that is limited here is your time. You ONLY have until Sunday to complete this working.
INTENT
The Intent of this Large Group Spell is to safely carry all current Practitioners OUT through the Last Quarter Turn of Lessons and to safely bring IN beginning APMS Practitioners into the First Quarter Turn.
This is called a Month Spell because you interact with your Craft daily, recharging it with thought, during the 28 day cycle of the moon phase. Leave it somewhere, in a book, on a Craft table, altar, etc. and with each day look at, point at, touch, smile at, think about, whisper to, or some other form of energetic movement involving the working. You can even use smoke and Imbue it with clean Air, Fire or Earth Element energy. You can place something representative of Element Water by it. YOU are your only limit as to how you recharge the spell each day.
After the 28-day cycle ends (phase to phase), you will have another piece of this Submission given to you. For now, you may submit what is required below.
Some examples of Banishment that were used in the past for this work:
Banish Self Doubt
Banish Ego to Open Mind to New things (at APMS)
Banish Shadow that prevents learning
Banish Preconceived Notions (choose)
Banish Procrastination or that which causes it
…and the list goes on.”
TWO MOOT JANUARY
Yona Circle has also been responsible for planning and executing TWO MOOTS for the month of January as a group. Some of those have been Magick or Medicine related to the month, some of those have been “fun” Moots. But, no two Paths are the same so we have always been divinely guided through January!
No matter what we celebrate, or participate in for January, we honor the Moon for the coming year, and that includes our World Magick & Medicine that Three Circles Medicine and Magick does EVERY YEAR!
