Blood Moon

Early this morning of Tuesday the 15^th of April, North America experienced the much heralded occurrence of a total eclipse of the moon, known as a blood moon on prophesy circles.  What a sight it was indeed!  I wanted to experience it but did not want to set an alarm clock to get me up at any specific time.  I just set my inner alarm clock and hoped for the best.  After being asleep for a few hours, I woke up around 1 AM to see the last small crescent of light remaining before the total eclipse took place. 

With camera in hand, I went out into the 25° cold with just my PJ’s and a winter coat on.  While taking some photos and trying to keep warm, I also opened myself up to receive any impressions emanating from this event.  After I was in for the night, I wrote everything down.  Here’s the scoop.

The main and predominant emotion that I felt was an overwhelming sadness coming from our moon.  This in turn generated a matching response of sadness coming from me that I am still feeling as I write this.  I realized that during an eclipse such as this, the moon is seen as it is, totally itself without any light from our Sun impacting it.  All we see is that faint reddish glow which is an indirect kind of lighting. 

I believe that our moon is a hollow vessel with no soul or energy of its own.  It only reflects the light that comes from our Sun.  It is a shadow of its former self.  Ancient cosmic mythology says that the moon was a space traveling vessel that was brought to our solar system to seed life here eons ago.  At that time, it was considered to be a feminine, mother or grandmother energy.  It has not been that way for millennia through a variety of circumstances.  People have not forgotten about the former feminine nature of the moon and still refer to it as such with great affection.  I know that in shamanic traditions, ceremonies are done on full and new moon nights, but that hasn’t seemed right for me for a long time now.  I prefer solstices and equinoxes for my fire ceremonies, as these have nothing to do with the moon. 

Our Earth Mother is actually the divine feminine archetype now.  Imagine a time before the moon arrived here. Each and every night would have been pitch black except for the stars above.  This is the true feminine energy, which is dark, receptive, hidden, and yet nurturing as a womb at the same time.  Nights would have truly been a time of going back into the “womb” for rejuvenation and dreamtime exploration facilitated by our planet.  A reconnection of our soul to hers in a way. 

A night like last night would be the closest we could get to that dark and feminine state, except for the very sad and even creepy energy that was coming from the moon.  Let me delve into the sadness first.  According to George Kavassilas, the forces that co-opted the moon also co-opted and sublimated the sacred feminine energy on planet earth.  Conquer the feminine and you conquer the earth and her human population.  No wonder I was and still am feeling such sadness.  My womb was literally aching last night as I gazed at the blood moon.  I ache for the loss of the honoring of the feminine here, amongst both women and men.  So very sad.

The creepy part of last night came in the form of a vision I had after I went to bed.  I saw many thin dark tentacles moving, probing, hooking and grabbing.  Almost like seaweed flowing in the ocean currents, but with a malevolent consciousness directing it.  It was my sense that this energy was and is emanating from the center of the moon.  It was clearly evident last night because the light of the Sun was not masking it.  These flowing tentacles are not only being directed at us, but at the times of the full moon, the light from the Sun is used to amplify this energy.  Why do you think that there are more people who lose it in many ways during a full moon?  All the more reason to remove your chakras, as they are input mechanisms that draw this dark energy into the human form. 

I also felt a profound sadness for the forces that are using the moon to do their dirty work.  Their time in this arena is limited now and they know it.  We are gaining the upper hand.  One of our jobs now is to continue to connect deeply with our dear Mother Earth, heal our own inner feminine nature and bring that feminine nature out into our daily life.  We have 3 more blood moons coming up spaced 6 months apart.  The next one is in October.  Three more opportunities to get clarity around what our moon really is and to do your personal work around the Divine Feminine energy.
