Delia's Thought Bubble
Moon Time
Six year old Gypsy and her father walked out the door on a clear cold winter night. She squeezed her daddy's hand to get his attention and asked quietly, "Daddy, what is that?". Arran followed her gaze up to the shimmering Full Moon and explained matter of factually. "That is the Full Moon." Then he paused to take a better look and realized something. He looked down at his beautiful daughter's young eyes and said, "Remember sweetheart, remember when I worked nights and a lot of times we would stand on the balcony watching the stars and seeing the moon." There was a look of confusion in her eyes, and then a glimmer of memory. They stood to admire the magnificent Full Moon and Arran recalled many nights of camping in Mexico before Gypsy was born, and feeling connected to nature. He knew the exact time by the moon and the stars. He sighed and looked at the many lights of the city that washed the stars shine away and they slowly continued on to the car . . .
What became of the Moon's important role in time? It would seem the Moon is gone from our consciousness. The world has become too crazy, too rushed, almost too artificial. Often people hear or say things like "running out of time", "wasting time", "not enough time".
The Moon and it's phases are still important. Moon Time is an ancient concept. It has always been there, waiting patiently to be acknowledged again.
In 1519 Hernan Cortes and his Spanish crew landed on the coast of Yucatan and discovered the Mayans. At that time the Mayan empire was not a unified empire, but distinct groups of Mayans sharing cultural characteristics; such as highly developed calendars. The Mayans used seventeen consecutive calendars, a complex writing system and sophisticated mathematics. Even today the Maya have maintained their significant cultures and languages.
Cortes, was not yet aware of the spiritual implications that surrounded his expedition. His arrival in the Americas coincided perfectly with the predicted return of Quetzalcoatl, the "Plumed Serpent". He is the Aztec's main God, credited with creating man and teaching the use of metals and the cultivation of the land.
Sixty three years later, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII revised the Julian Calendar to create the well known Gregorian Calendar in use today. The Julian Calendar was created in 45BC and was named after Julius Caesar. Both the Julian and Gregorian measures of time follow the earth circling the sun and are called Solar Calendars. The necessary time and leap year adjustment from the Julian Calendar into the Gregorian Calendar resulted in the loss of ten days between October 4th and October 15. That is to say, at midnight October 4, 1582 it became October 15, 1582.
Calendars were ultimately implemented to "colonize" the population as an instrument of control. The Gregorian Calendar is filled with days of "celebration", not to promote humanity but to promote consumerism. It has become the framework of government and global activities geared towards international commerce = "Time is Money". Following this day to day there is a feeling of getting nowhere, of life without purpose. It is irregular, illogical and does not use internal spiritual language.
"Living under the rigidity of the twelve month calendar, nature has become irrelevant. It is from this fundamentally flawed perception that humanity attempts to progress; beyond the limitation of nature.
The fact is, our idea of nature is flawed, not nature itself."
Jose Arguelles
"The 12 month calendar has a cycle that is contrary to and out of phase
with the natural annual thirteen fold gravitational wave created
by the Moon's orbit around the Earth."
physicist Mark Comings
Moon Time is Natural Time
Moon Time follows the cycles of the moon around our planet and is referred to as natural time. Every being on our planet is affected by the moon's cycles. The ocean tides are affected by the moon and the human body, consisting of 80% water, is also affected by the movement of the moon. Scientist have discovered the effects the moon on our body's balance, moods and emotions.
Women know this well by their 13 menstruation cycles in one year. Approximately every 28 days the moon becomes full and every 28 days women experience what Native American women call their "Moon Time". Women feel this timing frequency which is inside and connected to nature. This is our natural timing frequency.
Police and Emergency personnel prepare for Full Moon activity. People can be affected by the dark of the Moon as well; the days the moon is hidden from the sun. This is the time of the month to rest.
It has been said, when the moon is "waning" -- going from Full to New, it is the time to detoxify. When the moon is "waxing" -- going from New Moon back to Full, it is the time to fortify. The Farmers Almanac is still popular today using moon phases to help the farmers find the best times to sow.
There ARE 13 FULL MOONS in one year!
The familiar saying "once in a blue moon" is actually quite the contrary. In the Gregorian twelve month calendar, some months have two Full Moons and it is thought to be a rare occurrence. There have always been 13 Full Moons in each year. When the calendar is spread equally over 28 days, there is a Full Moon in every month, even and balanced. Natural.
This is what Jose Arguelles teaches with his 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar. Each day of the week is represented by a vibrational / spiritual name speaking the internal spiritual language of our Chakras. Chakras represent the seven energies of the human body. The Thirteen Months are based on the Thirteen Moons.
What I have done is combined the energies of the Cards to each day of the Thirteen Moon Calendar and added the additional seven Chakras of the Aquarian Age to reconnect us all to the all important natural time frequency of our planet. (Sanskrit Chakras, we all know: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet . . . now add in the Aquarian ascension colours as Turquois/Copper, Coral, Magenta, Copper, Silver, Gold and Platinum . . . The 14 PiscArian Colours of each suit helps us to evolve into the Age of Titanium.
"Let our Earth become our Space Ship".
"As a comprehensive reflection of nature, the 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar is a perfectly balanced solar / lunar measure and would do no less than give the entire biosphere a fresh new start and a shot at peace.
. . . If humanity wishes to produce harmony, we must use harmonic tools!"
Jose Aruelles
Moon Time exudes calm, serenity and patience. In tune with the natural rhythm of our world and our bodies, it is vital to return trust to our internal timing frequency.
Expanding the calendar to fit the Moon Cycles as well as the Solar Seasons will bring balance and harmony with nature.
The Mayan Calendar is creating awareness of the shortcomings of our Gregorian Calendar and hopefully, provoking serious reconsideration of the "old" calendar and the way time is viewed.
Time is not external, it is internal and key to finding natural balance.
Always be aware of the cycles of the Moon and bring the 13 MOONS back into consciousness. There are many schools of thought to explore and discover the meaning of Natural Time and how it relates to the Moon.
Gypsy will remember to keep the moon in her sights, it is her rhythm of life.

Are You Aware of a New Calendar?
The New Way Of
Feeling
Time.
Welcome to Moon Time.
There is something not quite right
with the way we FEEL time.
What has changed?
We Have!
It is essential we take a critical look
at the haphazard
12 month Gregorian Calendar,
and understand we are
"defined by Artificial Time"
Join the journey into understanding
our cosmic / natural time of 13 Moons.
There has always naturally been 13 Full Moons every year!
"Clocks slay time . . .
Time is dead as long as it is
being clicked off by little wheels;
only when the clock stops
does time come to life."
William Faulkner
Are you ready and willing
to experience the new shift of vibration
to bring harmony back into our world.
Check it out and get in tune
with creating our new story as
we reawaken . . .
As you begin to explore this new time,
you will reawaken
"the syn-chronic order"
needed for the health of our planet.
"Synchronicity refers to the underlying cosmic intelligence
that synchronizes people, places and events
into a meaningful order.
We experience synchronicity
when an outer event corresponds to our
inner thoughts, perceptions or feelings.
For example, have you ever been thinking of someone,
when moments later they call you on the phone?
or
have you ever had a burning question on your mind
only to open to a random page of a book
and find the answer?
This is Synchronicity!"
quote from
Foundation for the Law Of Time

The missing link!
As you learn the language of the 13 Moons
you will find you are
"altering your perceptions and
acquiring a new consciousness"
needed to save our planet.
"Transcend the linear confines of mechanical time
and free your heart & mind into natural time!"
Are you ready to open your mind and your Heart to the
"Rainbow Bridge"
Rainbow Bridge Meditation
Instructions
from - www.lawoftime.org
"Visualize yourself
inside the Earth's octahedron crystal core
(with two red and white sides on top, and
two blue and yellow sides below).
In the center of this core is an
intensely blazing point of.
An etheric column extends North and South
from the blazing center to the tips of the octahedron.
Coiled around the etheric axis
like two strands of DNA,
are the red and blue flux tubes.
In the crystal core are four time atoms.
A red time atom is strung on the northern axis,
and a blue on on the southern.
The gravitational plane of the octahedron
emanates horizontally from the center point.
Along this plane are two more time atoms,
a white and a yellow one,
which turn like paddle wheelers making
a counterclockwise motion around the center.
Now visualize
that from the center of the crystal
a great stream of
multicolored plasma-filled light flows
along the axis toward both of the Earth's poles,
shooting out from them to become
two rainbow bands 180 degrees apart.
As Earth revolves on its axis,
this rainbow bridge remains
steady and constant,
unmoving.
Next take the whole vision of the rainbow bridge
around the Earth and place it in
Your Heart.
Imagine the two streams of rainbow light
rushing through your central column,
shooting out from above your head
and beneath your feet to create a rainbow bridge
around your body.
Now You and the Rainbow Bridge are One.
The Rainbow Bridge of
World Peace
IS REAL.
"Visualized by enough people
in a telepathic wave of love,
the rainbow bridge IS a reality."

1st Introspective Moon
Day 1 'till Day 28
is
July 26 'till August 22
(Gregorian Calendar)
Note:
the 13 Moon - 28 Day
Internal Energy Cycles
starts on July 26
(Gregorian Calendar)
"corresponding with the heliacal rising of the Star Sirius"
The heliacal rising of a star occurs when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon for a brief moment just before sunrise, after a period of time when it had not been visible.
"The first day of the 13 Moon Calendar,
the New Year, begins on July 26.
This date originally correlated
to the heliacal rising of Sirius at 19.5 latitude north.
The 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar
has been in use for over 5500 years.
From the Incan, to the Druidic count, to the Egyptian,
to the Essene, to the Mayan, to the Polynesian.
The 13 Moon Calendar has been used
throughout pre-history as the harmonic standard
and is now being followed the world
over by advocates of Galactic Culture!
The Calendars that start July 26
may carry messages
from the star Sirius,
through the Sun to the Earth.
Calendars that begin January 1
may be circulating energy
from both Sirius and Vega,
since the Sun aligns with those two stars at that time.
Sirius, the New Year Star,
is at its highest overhead at midnight December 31,
while Vega is located directly opposite,
below the horizon, under our feet!"

I searched for the perfect Yule Log and decorated it with Mistletoe, Holly and Ivy Leaves. I drilled holes in the log and then prepared pieces of coloured paper (check out my "Colour My World" Page to learn what each colour represents) . My guests then chose a paper and write their wishes for the coming year . . . This Yule log was then burned in the fire pit to bring blessings to ALL . . . Another idea is to find a basket and weave copper wire through it and enjoy the wonderful colours as it burns . . .

This is the time for Growth, for making plans for the future.
This is your time for healing your self-love and accepting of All...
Waiting for the long winter doldrums to come to an end,
can be an enlightening time to study magic.
We create "Intent" . . .
"You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life
I AM open!
I AM aware of these subtleties ! ! !
There is NO WRONG WAY or wrong amount of time spent on building a ritual . . .
ESPECIALLY, when it is yours . . .
Trust the Magic and Trust Yourself . . .
A general discussion on the Terms Of Magic . . .
1. Clairvoyance -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- the
supposed power of seeing or knowing about things that are out of sight;
second sight. exceptional insight; keenness of mental perception))
"clear-seeing". . . I want to use the literal meaning and not "far-seeing" as sometimes defined. My reason for this is: Can we really see into the future and do we really want to ? ? ?
(This is a question for each of you to ponder.)
My
belief is in working in the NOW with the help from the past, which
opens more doors to the future. To perceive we know the future tricks
and trips up our Magic . . .
Clairvoyance connects to:
Clairaudience -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- having the power of hearing or knowing about sounds beyond the range of hearing)) - "clear hearing"
and
Clairsentience -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- capacity for feeling ; responsiveness to sensory stimuli; sensory capacity)) - "clear feeling"
2. Let's move on to Astral Projection or Astral Travel -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- Astral
body - a body separate from the actual body and supposed to be able to
leave it at will; a ghostlike double of the human body))
The
ability to leave the physical body to bring back information in the
form of an experience, Astral Projection is seeing this experience from
above. Leaving our physical body, safely where we have left it, with
the assurance to return with the answer. We are assured to return with the connection of a golden thread attached to our physical body. I recall, in my youth, feeling able to fly in the confines of my bedroom. Now I do not question how far I go, as long as I go explore upon the Astral Plan.
3. What about Telepathy -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- the communication of one mind with another without using speech, hearing, sight, or any other sense used normally to communicate))
The meeting of our minds, or mind to mind thought transference OR to a further depth of being a Medium -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- messages from the spirits of the dead are supposedly sent to the living))
When we are able to communicate with those who have past out of this life, Medium-ism can come to us All. Numerous books are now freely written about the many experiences people have had. These communications can be a subtle flash, an artistic or poetic expression, or an unexplained physical happening which expands a spiritual awakening. "Maybe a walnut falling on your head. . . " or "A feather falling mysteriously by your feet" or "Upon the thought of a Loved One the sight of a butterfly or the finding of a dime." The smile of knowing what just occurred, is as personal as knowing the person and the memory inspired.
I
do not know how to put it into words, but there is a feeling, a
prickling at the base of my neck, that rapidly spans my whole head and
what I say is said through me. And I will leave it at that. (To not put logic to "IT" - sometimes we just do not have the words to say "IT"... I truly believe as we all expand our consciousness, there will come a time when we will be able to express and explain these "feelings" freely)
4. Next is psychometry -- ((The World Book Dictionary quote --- the
measurement of mental facts and relations, the alleged art or power of
divining facts about an object or its owner through contact with it or
proximity to it.))
The transference of object-to-mind communication; this is the most basic element of Magic. The use of an object to form a telepathic link with the mind of another human being. This link can hold the Magic for the harm or for the good of that individual.
I have to stress the
Law of Magic
that is:
"HARM NONE, Do As Ye Will".
Because of the presumption of Magic having to do with Dark Arts,
I want to stress this Law by my own experience . . .
I understood at that very moment what had occurred and the scar is a reminder for me to
HARM NONE . . .
Again, in Magic, as in everything,
The choice is yours.
I Choose to do no harm.
Maybe this is a karmic thing, maybe cause and effect.
I have learned if I send out positive love vibes.
I get back positive love vibes...
Seems reasonable to me . . .
As we LEARN
and
DEVELOP
and
OPEN OUR AWARENESS TO MAGIC,
WE BECOME TUNED IN
AND
WE LIVE CONNECTED
TO ALL . . .
When it comes time to create Magic,
go by this set of rules . . .
To Know
To Will
To Dare
To Be Silent
This is the key to All Magic,
the hardest part is the to be silent . . .
When Magic Happens.
This is so exciting, we want to tell everyone.
By doing this, you may lose a lot of the energy,
so be careful who you tell . . .
So as the days of February move into March
and grow slowly longer and we wait for
spring to finally come forth,
what better time than to study
and stir up some Magic . . .
The Journey of Discovery
is the Pleasure . . .
9th Purification Moon
Day 1 'till Day 28
is
MARCH 7 'till April 3
(Gregorian Calendar)
The Full Worm Moon,
The Seed Moon
or
The Plow Moon
or
The Crow Moon
This the time for Cultivation,
Exploration Outside, for Growth and Balance and Prosperity
?Spring Has Sprung,
The Grass Has Rissss....
I Wonder Where - My Magic Wand - Is...?
As the warmth of spring starts to bring back the growth,
this is the time to search the trees around you
to find just the right piece of wood to make your Wand...
Here are a few types of wood and their meaning...
((As per source
"Wheel of the Year, Living the Magical Life...
Written by Pauline Champanelli, Illustrated by Dan Campanelli))
Birch -- represents the Feminine energy.
It has been said that witches flew brooms made of birch...
Oak -- represents the Masculine energy.
Mountain Ash -- represents the Tree Of Life.
Willow -- represents the energy of Death.
Hawthorn -- represents the energy of Purification.
Hazel -- represents the energy of Wisdom
Apple -- represents the energy of Love.
Grapevine -- represents the energy of Joy.
Fir -- represents the energy of Immortality,
the Evergreen, the energy of Rebirth.
The Magic Wand
"The most magically manifesting tool in your
Witchy Goody Bag."
How do we find our magic wand?
How do we choose?
You can buy one from a metaphysical shop
or any other store source
OR
you can make it with your own creative hands...
This is the Magic of IT...
Just remember the rule of Harm None...
If you have intentions to take a branch from of growing tree,
remember to give Thanks to that tree for the gift of its "limb".
The beauty of this Magic is to get outside and enjoy the spring.
Don't search . . .
Let It Go . . .
And that perfect branch may
just show up at your feet,
maybe after a March storm . . .
OR
maybe your dog will find it . . .
Once you find your special Wand,
the next step is to Cleanse it
to banish any negative energy it may have accumulated.
Even if it is new.
This wand is a conductor of energy.
It picks up the vibration of whomever or whatever
has spent time with it.
Again
How YOU cleanse this is up to
YOU

for Self-Confidence and Acting
on those opportunities that have been knocking at your door.
April is also for you to create Love Magic.
"March roared out like a lion...
April cried and stepped aside
and along came pretty little May..."
This is the lines to a song from my youth, "parts of us are always there..".
every spring I remember those lines...
What is our purpose in being alive on this wonderful
green planet right now?
Have you ever asked this question?
I am looking around right now in April and I see how easy the plants are pushing through the earth.
The plants are coming back from the long winter.
Have you stopped and noticed maybe a Crocus, yet?
Are the buds of the trees starting to appear?
Years ago, I discovered the essence of plants and felt their energy.
I discovered there is a connection between
the numbers and symbols of the Cards and the essence of plants.
This connection is directed to
us through our birth date and helps us understand
our purpose in this life.
To create this simply on my site,
I have listed the Birth Cards and the Essential oils
connected with a few simple identification
words for each oil.
(If you have not discovered your Birth Card yet,
go to the Calendar Page and find your Birth Date.
Once you have discovered your Birth Card
you can now start to learn your purpose through
Your Essential Oil upon this earth)
Now Discover the
Plant that Goes With You.
Important Warnings
Ask at the store, where you purchase these oils for any warnings, especially if you are pregnant. The Store Owner will be aware of these oils...
"Do not use these oils undiluted directly on the skin."
I have been using these oils
only to close my eyes and smell,
to see what memories they instill,
or what emotions they bring to the surface.
There are many books describing Essential Oils and Aroma therapy.

This is the time to connect with nature spirits.
Have you seen the faeries and are you connected to "green" magic.
You may believe you have grown to old to see faeries,
but you can still catch their movement and sense their presence.
I found a beautifully illustrated book called
"Seeing Evangeline"
by Sandi Greene.
Sandi is a visual artist and photographer from Calgary, Alberta.
Sandi is able to capture the garden faeries.
She has a wonderful eye to see what most of us take for granted.
Check out her book, you can "google" it.
May is also a time to reconnect with your intuition.
Use natures beauty to
reconnect with your soul.
