How the Moon opens the portal to the Inner Goddess

Hey beautiful ones,  

Are you here to learn about the Moon and how to use her power in your life? As a long time Moon Healer I love sharing this knowledge with you. In this article I break down the meaning of the Moon Phases for you. Once you'll understand how to use FULL and NEW MOON you'll have a powerful companion to start living a more aligned life based on Who you are and what is important to you. 

The Tale of the Moon, is actually the tale of The Divine Feminine. And sure there are plenty of myths tied to the Moon. From romance to mysticism and bards and writers all finding inspiration in the heavenly body. The Moon sparks the imagination. 

The awareness of her as a Spiritual Body has won terrain the last decades. She is often portrayed as a celestial body that can help you get what you want. Be it in manifesting or intention setting. What many do not realise is that when you work with the tides of the Moon you are working with the ancient Rhythm of life and death. 

By doing that you open the portal to your Inner Goddess and to the qualities of the Divine Feminine.

"And you who seek to know Me, know that the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without." 

Or in short this line from the Charge of The Goddess means: You have to know yourself to be able to really find and receive what you ask for. 

Ancient Rhythm of Life, Death and Resurrection

The Rise of the Goddess is something that’s long spoken about.This started already almost 50 years ago after Her having taken a back seat for so long. You can see The Divine Feminine or the Ancient Goddess energy as a collective representation of what lives in our subconscious and it is all about what’s going on internally in you. 

You may have heard a lot about there being a shift in that energy and that her influence is growing. She has indeed been re-emerging from the shadows and there is a new understanding of her energy present on earth already. So it’s no wonder that empathy and honouring our emotions are finally returning to society, because that is the realm of the Goddess and the Moon. 

At the start of 2018 I received a beautiful vision confirming that many have opened up to the Divine Feminine and that the Goddess sphere will continue to rise and grow and will slowly form a new foundation. I saw waves of healers and healing flood the earth and the most magnificent colours being spread like powder; a magenta reddish pink with misty lavender blue. And took it as a sign that “the light army” is growing and I saw it raise the vibration of the Earth. And that’s because all you heal within, will have a ripple effect and light up those around you. So it’s no coincidence you are reading this. 

Society is opening up to the inside 

To make it very practical: you can see this Rise in the yoga movement (and it now being very common - it wasn’t as much the beginning of 2000 and was still considered “very new age”. Now physicians easily suggest it as stress control and more). You can see it in “mindfulness” and how it has been integrated in the business world (mindfulness is actually very similar to “meditation techniques” used as part of spiritual awakening journeys. It has just been pimped and marketed in a way that speaks to a broader audience). And what about purpose, utilising your talents and finding meaningfulness in careers being on the increase? 

These ingredients are now being seen as important Human Relations tools to keep employees contented. That’s quite some shift in culture, since it’s the professors and science based institutions that are now embracing these more feminine based qualities. 

On a personal level: I didn't just recently wake up to the idea of spirituality. I've actively integrated the Wisdom of the Moon and spirituality in my life for decades. And it's no "accident" I'm living like I do. I have made strong choices based on what's important, meaningful and joyful to me. And I got there by getting to know myself on a very deep level and walking the path. And the Moon and the inner Goddess can assist you to get to know yourself on such a deep level, that aligned choices and feeling good becomes second nature. 

Does that mean you can't manifest or set intentions with the Moon? Not at all. What it means is that you start to understand why you desire to manifest what you ask for and may be shown that something different is what actually brings you joy and fulfilment. 

Reclaiming Power

Did you know it hasn’t been all that long since women started reclaiming their power? Did you know women were not allowed to open their own bank accounts before 1975 without permission from their husbands or a male relative? That up until the early 1980’s you could have been denied serving in an English pub in you were unaccompanied and wanted to spend your own hard earned cash? Many of the female qualities have been suppressed for many centuries and there’s change in the air. For a new type of leadership, in valuing emotions, treating others as humans, having empathy, intuition and so much more. 

The #metoo campaign is an excellent example of this switch from ‘old world leadership’ to new.   

And if you are drawn to the Moon, you are part of the movement standing up for change and restoring humanity. 

Let’s not just talk about women though (The Goddess energy is not about gender (even if it’s great mirror to how the feminine qualities are and have been valued and downplayed). 

The Divine Feminine is a consciousness). Because what the Path of the Moon represents can be found both in men and women. And this depriving of our wise emotional system and that of the subconscious has been taking a toll on both genders. When you deny one part in yourself or suppress it, there is a disconnect, a sense of aloneness, sadness and more. That’s because we are not allowing ourselves to fully be who we are. 

• The Moon relates to the unseen. 
• It invites us to go beyond seeing with our eyes and allows other senses to come forward.  
• The Moon is your hunches and intuition. 
• Our emotions. 
• And the undercurrent of life that’s not always instantly crystal clear and visible. 
• The Moon affects bodies of water. 
• And the Ocean Tides. 
• We are 70% water. 
• And the Moon influences us to.
• She speaks to all hero and mythological stories that the subconscious holds.

• Let’s start with getting the Moon Phases right. A lot of information has been lost through the internet and copy and pasting without checking the origin facts and sources. Many now think Full Moon is only about release, while in reality Full Moon is about abundance and manifesting. Since the Moon is a reflection of your innermost self and therefore your psyche goes through the same phases then having it backwards creates confusion and the Moon Door to understanding life at large remains shut. 

TV and movie witches do their spells under the full moon for a reason: it's fully charged with energy. The movie Practical Magic 

• The Moon Phases meanings:
  • Waxing Moon is great for growth and things that are just beginning. 
  • Full Moon is about abundance and celebrations and can be used for manifesting. 
  • Waning Moon is about release. 
  • New moon (actually called Dark Moon because you can’t see the moon in the sky) is the time to reflect 
  Now let’s make that more visible while adding the Goddesses relating to each phase:
• Waxing Moon relates to the VIRGIN GODDESSES - it’s the life phase in which all is new and growing like in Spring. As a life phase it’s the child and young adult. 
• Full Moon relates to the MOTHER GODDESS - She is at her peak and blossoming like summer time. The Full Moon can even be seen as pregnancy.   
• Waning Moon is when we get older. There’s wisdom gathered in being around for quite some time, but there is also decay. This phase relates to the Crone Goddess and often goddesses here will be threefold, because they lived all of those phases. 
• Then at dark moon/new moon it’s about death and there’s a “nothingness” and stillness like you see in Winter time (before being reborn again)
• Here’s the first secret: You are the Goddess. It’s all about you and your creation. However there’s certainly also the “external” Goddess Energy, which is an archetypal energy that you can tap into and even evoke is you so desire. Goddesses can differ immensely in energy.  When you just start out on your spiritual journey it’s common to notice that a certain Goddess speaks to you more than another. Usually they are first mirroring your own energy and there’s a similarity there. In short: if you are very FIERCE then you’ll likely feel attracted to a more fierce Goddess when starting to work with Goddess Energy. 
  Here’s the second secret: If you start asking to connect with the Goddess she will start showing up for you. You can ask out loud before you go to bed and mind your dreams for example. Here’s something quite neat: The Goddess that wants to work with you will usually show up. You don’t pick the Goddess, She picks you. Here’s a link to a free Connect with The Goddess meditation that helps you to connect with the Goddess you are ready to work with. It’s part of the 7 Days of Goddesses program. 
  Third- Allow awareness. Look up to the sky, understand the moon phases meanings. The more you note how you feel during each phase, the easier you’ll start connecting with your own intuition and gifts and the knowledge of your subconscious. You can journal about how you feel or only take a few minutes to be consciously aware like looking up and the moon and affirming: “I see the moon is waxing. This is the time of growth and creating opportunity.”  
  And last but not least: You go through a similar process as that of the moon each month. With your newborn wishes, making desires real, letting go of what you’ve outgrown and then being still and allowing time to reflect for your next best steps. And throughout the days, months and years you will keep transforming and growing. The Moon can teach you the process of your internal flow and on a larger scale initiate you in understanding the cycle of life. The benefits are huge if you allow yourself that internal process. The more aware, the easier. There’s no pushing. There’s just the natural tide of you. Like the ocean responding to the Moon. The internal world is the domain of the Divine feminine and the Moon a portal to connect with those ancient parts of the psyche.

  Wishing you a beautiful journey. 

  Much love, Laura
