Tonight is the full moon. Esbat time! This month, I was actually part of a fantastic impromptu esbat ritual last night. This time of the month is all about intention setting, bringing in new, cleansing energies that help us reach our goals. So last night, I made a huge list of the things I want to bring into my life this month. Well, really, in the next couple of months, but starting now. I can already feel the magick working. I'm 100% confident that all of my intentions will come true in a timely manner with a little bit of elbow grease, patience, and belief. I am a goddess; I am a witch; I am a woman. And all of those make me powerful. All of those make you, my reader(s), powerful. Whether you are male or female, Pagan, Judeo-Christian, Athiest, or something in between, you also have the power of your will and belief, of the moon and the sun and the Earth behind you. We are all divine; I believe that will all of my heart. It's only what we decide to do with that spark of divinity inside of us that matters. Do we manifest love and light and acceptance? Or do we spread hatred and upheaval? Personally, I vote for the former.

So, I hope you'll join me, whoever happens to be reading this, in setting the intention of peace and love for this next month. With the full moon, I invite into our lives love, balance, serenity and the remembrance of the power that we hold within ourselves. I invite any and all of my readers to invite the same into their own lives and into the world at large. Perhaps if enough of us set the intention for peace, and work at it, it will eventually come to pass.

So mote it be.
