Daily Mindfulness The Moon

Daily Mindfulness

The Moon
Let the Illusion of the World pass over thee,
unheeded, as thou goest from the Midnight to the Morning. (BOT)

One of my favorite cards, looks kind of spooky and unreal and perfect for symbolizing the night and dreams and also the nightmares that can take us while we sleep.  While the Priestess has the happier aspects of the Moon, the Moon itself is a bit darker? 

Look at the colors on the card - the moonlight gives everything a twilight zone vibe. That light illuminates EVERYTHING - including the things we might be trying to hide from ourselves.  But look closer - it is lighting up a path for us to walk, it may not be an easy path but it is there for us!

The darkest hour before the dawn, the brink of important change - yes!  This is a time to let the Moon illuminate everything for us to see - to study it, to embrace it and not fear it. We have all sorts of things inside that make us who we are - don't shun the less pretty sides but be honest about them. If it is something to change, then stand firm and do so knowing you will become stronger for it. This is a powerful energy and magic!
