I have not many ideas on the lore of Blue Moons. I know that the next one is in 2015. That seems so far away. Being told that you can't have something for that amount of time almost feels dire. Even if it's something you didn't want. You can't climb a tree that's on fire until 2015! We like our options.
I feel the magic in this wonderful, rare event. I plan to be doing something very important to me. I've been working on a letter to some people that has been long overdue. I'll send it tomorrow, in the moonlight outside, with my Erdinger (and a small plate covering it - thirsty bugs!) and a long sleeved shirt (still thirsty bugs!) and my laptop. I'm hoping for the best possible outcome.
Vague, I know. I wouldn't be a bona fide Scorpio without a little of that. But it is a cleansing of sorts and however it goes, a new beginning.
Let's all see the magic in the night!
A couple of Blue Moon bits: (from the Infoplease website)
*"Blue moon" appears to have been a colloquial expression long before it developed its calendrical senses. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first reference to a blue moon comes from a proverb recorded in 1528:
If they say the moon is blue,*The rare phenomenon of two blue moons (using the more recent definition) occurring in the same year happens approximately once every 19 years. 1999 was the last time a blue moon appeared twice, in January and March.
We must believe that it is true.
And for those who prefer magic over hard science, Simple Wiccan Magik Spells says:
Regardless of what you believe, the August 31st full moon is an ideal time for potent spellmaking. When you are celebrating the blue moon, you may follow the appropriate ritual of the zodiac sign opposite the one in play. For example, the August 31st full blue moon in sun sign Virgo is a Pisces full water moon. This is an ideal time for spells and rituals to increase your clairvoyant powers and to tell fortunes and interpret dreams.
You can also choose a different spell of your own desire or create one using the correspondences in my books. Whatever you decide, know that the universe will be tuned in to your vibrations in a powerful way.
I will certainly be hoping that if the Universe doesn't have the exact same idea as me, that it will be just as wonderful as my own preference. But I suppose after all that has happened, I should just wish for bygones to be bygones and to gain emotional and mental strength every day, because for one of the first times since my Flip split, I am feeling a bit like my old self in the days of Flip BC. I'll be sure to throw in some gratitude along with my I Wish I May, I Wish I Might....
