Black Moon (Part Three): The Month Ahead
Jun. 15th, 2010 10:35 amThis month, to honor Temple of the Twelve's Lady Black, I intend to take an honest look at my talents and assess how I use them (and more importantly, *could* use them) in my daily life. Though it is not always comfortable for me, I will make an effort to reach out more and to share my feelings. I have no idea who might be in the dark, needing the reassurance of a little light.
I've got a few projects planned:
1. I will complete a self-portrait, as Caroline did, that reflects the whole of my True Self. I took the first step by taking a photograph to represent my physical self, as it exists without makeup or fashion or artifice, and the larger portion of that task is that I'm going to create an intuitive collage self-portrait. Here's an entry of various intuitive collages I did as part of my Silver Branch work in 2008. So far, I have a wooden hinged treasure box (with a little bird on top, appropriately enough) that I'm filling with words and phrases and snippets that catch my eye in our magazine recycling pile. By the next new moon, I'll have pieced them all together on a hand-colored background to best represent me, as I am, warts and all. :)
2. I am going to work with and really study the black crystals on my black month altar. I know there is a lot I can learn about Black from my specular hematite, black tourmaline, and that night's sky blue goldstone.
3. I am going to serve, in the larger world, the essence of Black. Volunteering at the homeless shelter felt right, a solid start to this intention. The challenge will be to keep it up, to put myself out there and to volunteer myself to serve where I'm best suited.
For those of you in your own Black Moon, what are your plans? :)
