Full Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse 
This is me in the garden by the fire
this is how i show up in the world
This is a candid photo taken by a dear friend as

We gathered round the fire to 
Offer our prayers on the
Full Super Blood Moon in Leo 
Total Lunar Eclipse
We gazed at our beloved sister moon 
Turning to red and
Hiding behind the shadows and 
Returning once again-


Shining her light brightly 
Illuminating the dark of the night

We created an altar with offerings 
We placed our medicines and stone friends by the altar 
We placed our feet bare on our Mother Earth
We cleansed ourselves with the sacred plant Sage
We anointed ourselves in devotion of the Goddess
We lifted our prayers up with sacred Tobacco
We communicated with Grandmother fire
We sang from our hearts
We listened to the prayers of our loved ones
We witnessed the magic and the beauty
We were blessed with the Spirit of the Owl
We prayed for
Cleaning, Clearing and Grounding 
We honored our ancestors
We gave thanks for the medicine


Thank you
Thank you so much 
Please forgive me 
I’m sorry
I love you
We are grateful
May all beings be free 
To all my relations

I love you 
Thank you
