Strawberry moon
Jun. 20th, 2016 09:00 pmBlessed Solstice. It's the last full moon on a summer solstice until 2093. I probably won't see that one. I didn't see the last one, since I was about 4 inches long and trying to grow eyebrows and ears. (yeah, that latter went well)
In the liminel space between the setting of the sun and the rising of the full moon, I went out.
I welcomed the coming dark, as I welcome the growing light at Yule.
I reset the wards.
And I said the oldest moon prayer I know, the one I learned not more than two years after the last full moon Litha.
"I see the Moon
The Moon sees me
Gods bless the Moon
And Gods bless me."
And inside, the little girl who wasn't quite 2 when the moon landing happened yelled, "Anhee want go moom!" as she always does.
