MayFlower Energy Alignment Practices

17/11/2025

The New Moon in Scorpio on 20 November 2025 is a powerful moment for deep Celtic-shamanic work. Scorpio’s New Moon always brings themes of death–rebirth, shadow healing, soul-retrieval energy, psychic depth, and transformational magic. When blended with the Celtic shamanic path, it becomes a potent gateway for underworld journeying, ancestral contact, and clearing what must be released before winter fully arrives.

Below is a full framework you can work with — including elemental calls, directions, deities/energies, journey prompts, ritual steps, and recommended tools that align with both Celtic practice and Scorpionic lunar medicine.

⸻

🌑 Energetic Themes of the New Moon in Scorpio (20 Nov 2025)

✦ Core Energies
• Descent and inner journeying
• Shadow work + integration
• Truth-seeking, uncovering what’s hidden
• Soul-level transformation
• Release of stagnant emotional energy
• Intuition, psychic sight, divination

✦ Seasonal Context (Celtic Wheel)

20 November sits:
•After Samhain, the gateway when the veil is thin
•During the dark half of the year, ruled by the Crone, ancestors, and the Otherworld
•In the time of deep earth magic, stillness, and introspection

So this New Moon is essentially an underworld moon, ideal for shamanic practice.

⸻

🌑 Ritual: The Scorpio Moon Descent

This is designed specifically for a Celtic shamanic practitioner.

You Will Need (optional)
• A black or deep blue candle
• A bowl of water (symbolizing the West & Scorpio)
• Mugwort, yew, elder, or rowan (for smoke or altar)
• A drum or rattle
• Your journal

Step-by-step
1. Prepare the space & open your directions
Use the Celtic method of calling each direction in a circle, starting with east and ending with the center and Spirit.
2. Light the candle
Speak:
“I walk willingly into the sacred dark to reclaim what is mine.”
3. Gaze into the bowl of water
This acts as a scrying portal representing both the Otherworld and Scorpio’s depth.
4. Begin a drum/rattle rhythm
Slow, heartbeat-like. Allow yourself to drop into a trance.
5. Journey to meet your shadow or an ancestor-guide
Ask:
• “What needs to be released before winter?”
• “What truth have I not been willing to see?”
• “What power have I left in the underworld that I am now ready to reclaim?”
6. Listen, witness, receive
You may see symbols, animals, memories, or sensations (research symbolism after)
Scorpio energy reveals truth, often bluntly but with purpose.
7. Return & close the portal
Blow out the candle and say:
“I return renewed. What is no longer mine dissolves.”
8. Write everything down immediately
Scorpio moons often include messages that fade quickly.

unafraid of the shadows,

🌕♉️The Full Super Moon in Ta**us on November 5, 2025 carries a deeply grounding and sensual energy, harmonizing beautifully with Celtic shamanic practices, which are rooted in Earth reverence, the cycles of nature, and embodied wisdom. Here are several ways you can work with this moon through a Celtic shamanic lens:

⸻

🌕 1. Connect to the Element of Earth

Ta**us is ruled by the element Earth, and in Celtic shamanism, this corresponds to the North direction, representing stability, ancestors, and material abundance.
Ritual ideas:
✨Create a sacred circle facing North and call in the Earth spirits, land guardians, and ancestors of your lineage.
✨Offer grains, honey, milk, or apples to the Earth as gifts of gratitude.
✨Sit or lie directly on the ground to merge your heartbeat with the pulse of the land.

⸻

🍃 2. Honor the Land Spirits (Landvættir)

As the Celtic ancestors deeply respected the spirits of place, take time to connect with the local spirits of your area.
✨Walk barefoot on the earth under the moonlight.
✨Leave natural offerings like water, herbs, or flowers on a stone or at the base of an old tree.
✨Ask the land what it needs to stay nourished through the coming winter months.

⸻

🔥 3. Perform a Full Moon Gratitude Fire Ritual

This Ta**us Full Moon emphasizes manifestation, abundance, and embodiment.
✨Build a small fire or use a candle in your sacred space.
✨Write down what you’re grateful for and what you’ve cultivated through the year (as Samhain energy still lingers).
✨Burn your notes while offering a chant or drumbeat to release energy back to the Earth Mother.

⸻

🌿 4. Work with Celtic Earth Deities and Spirits

Invoke or honor deities connected to fertility, land, and the harvest:
✨Danu – Mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, goddess of rivers and fertility.
✨Brigid – Guardian of healing, hearth, and creative abundance.
✨The Cailleach – Crone of winter and transformation, powerful at this time of year as the land begins to sleep.

Offer milk, bread, or sacred herbs (mugwort, thyme, or meadowsweet) while asking for grounding, stability, and right relationships with abundance.

⸻

🐂 5. Journey with the Spirit of the Bull

Ta**us’ totem is the Bull, a potent Celtic symbol of strength, fertility, and persistence.
Shamanic journey idea:
✨Drum or rattle softly, journeying to meet the Spirit of the Bull.
✨Ask for messages about how to ground your dreams or where to build stronger foundations in your life.
✨Visualize yourself merging with the Bull’s steady, enduring power as you move through the dark season.

⸻

🌾 6. Embodiment and Sensory Offerings

Ta**us teaches us to experience spirit through the senses.
✨Create a ritual bath with herbs of Venus and Earth (rose, oatstraw, patchouli, or vetiver).
✨Cook or share a sacred meal of root vegetables, grains, and apples.
✨Play the harp, drum, or flute — connecting with the ancient Celtic way of weaving sound into the land’s vibration.

⸻

🌑 7. Integrate Samhain’s Wisdom

This Full Moon follows Samhain (Oct 31–Nov 1), when the veil remains thin. Use the Ta**us energy to anchor spirit messages into form.
✨Journal dreams or ancestral insights received since Samhain.
✨Craft a protection amulet or talisman using stones like green aventurine, moss agate, or petrified wood, consecrated under the moonlight.

🌾🥮Samhain is one of the most powerful and spiritually charged points on the Celtic Wheel of the Year.☸️🍁

Samhain is pronounced “SOW-in” — where “sow” rhymes with cow (not snow).
In some Irish or Scottish Gaelic dialects, you might also hear variations like:
• “SAH-win” (softer, more Anglicized)
• “SAH-wen” (common in some regions of Scotland)

All are accepted in modern Pagan and Celtic spiritual communities, but “SOW-in” is the most traditional and widely used.

⸻

🦇🍂👩‍🌾Overview of Samhain✨🌊🦊

Date: Traditionally celebrated from sunset on October 31st to November 1st
Wheel of the Year Position: Marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the dark half of the year
Element: Water (associated with emotion, intuition, and the Otherworld)
Direction: West
Deities: The Morrígan, Cailleach, Donn, Cerridwen, Hecate (later syncretic influences)
Symbolism: Death, rebirth, ancestral wisdom, shadow work, and deep introspection

🦉✨Celtic Shamanic Meaning of Samhain🪶

In Celtic shamanism, Samhain is the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest — a liminal portal between life and death, seen and unseen. It is a moment to honor ancestors, release the old cycle, and journey into the darkness for renewal.

Shamans and druids recognized this as a “cauldron time” — a descent into the womb of the Earth Mother where seeds of new life gestate unseen. Spiritually, it’s about embracing endings as sacred gateways to transformation.

Samhain is also a time of deep divination and communion with the spirits of nature and the ancestors. The land itself is shifting — plants decay to feed the soil, animals retreat inward — and humans are called to do the same energetically and spiritually.

🔥Energies & Themes to Work With🔥

Ritual Ideas for Samhain
-Celtic Shamanism Styley

1. Creating a Sacred Space

🧭Call in the directions and the elements — paying special honour to the West and the Water element.

🧝‍♀️Invoke Cailleach or The Morrígan for wisdom and transformation.

2. Ancestral Altar

👵🏻Include photos, heirlooms, candles, and offerings like bread, apples, honey, or whisky.

🗣️Speak your lineage aloud and thank them for their guidance.

💭Ask for ancestral healing or messages through dreams or meditation.

3. Fire & Release Ritual

📝Write down what you are ready to let go of — fears, patterns, or attachments.

🔥Offer them to the fire with gratitude, symbolizing transformation.

💨As the smoke rises, visualize the energy being transmuted.

4. Shamanic Journey to the Underworld

🪇Drum or rattle softly; enter a meditative state.

🙏🏻Intend to meet a guide, ancestor, or aspect of your shadow self.

❔Ask what wisdom or healing this dark time holds for you.

📓Record insights in a journal afterward.

5. Divination Night

🃏Use ogham, tarot, or fire scrying to receive guidance for the coming winter.

Ask questions like:
• “What is dying within me?”
• “What is ready to be born in the next turning?”
• “What ancestral gift am I reclaiming?”

⸻

Integrating Samhain into the Wheel of the Year

Samhain sits opposite Beltane on the Wheel — together, they are the twin portals of life and death.
• Beltane brings fertility, creation, and light.
• Samhain brings stillness, surrender, and the fertile dark.

In Celtic shamanism, these cycles are not linear but spiral — each descent (Samhain) leads to a deeper rebirth (Imbolc, Beltane).
Working consciously with Samhain helps you embrace cyclical transformation rather than resisting endings.

⸻

Personal Practices for Harnessing Samhain Energy

🌫️Make Smudging Spray or Anointing Oil: Use mugwort, sage, clove, and myrrh.

🌖Moon Work: The waning moon around Samhain is powerful for release rituals. November 5, 2025, is when the full moon occurs. After this full moon, the moon will enter its waning crescent phase, continuing until the new moon on November 20, 2025.

🛌Dream Journal: The ancestor veil opens through dreams — keep one by your bed.

🤔Inner Reflection Prompts:
What am I ready to release before winter?
Which ancestors wish to connect with me now?
How can I honor the dark as sacred?

🤸🏻‍♀️🌪️The 10/10 Portal (October 10th) is a powerful energetic gateway that carries themes of alignment, activation, and new beginnings — especially on a soul path level. Like other repeating-number portals (e.g., 8/8 Lion’s Gate, 11/11 Awakening Portal), it amplifies numerological and cosmic frequencies that you can consciously work with.

⸻

🌌 The Significance of the 10/10 Portal

1. Numerological Meaning

• The number 10 symbolizes completion and rebirth — the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one.

• It combines the energy of;
1️⃣→ New beginnings, creation, leadership, independence.
0️⃣→ Source energy, infinite potential, divine connection.
Together, 🔟/🔟 doubles that vibration — it’s an invitation to step through a doorway into your next level of being, leaving behind what’s complete or outdated.

This portal acts like a reset button for your intentions, spiritual growth, and energetic alignment.

⸻

🌠 Energetic Themes of the 10/10 Portal

• Stepping into higher timelines: You’re being called to consciously choose the reality that matches your soul frequency.

• Manifestation acceleration: Intentions and energy work are magnified — clarity is everything.

• Balance between human and divine: 10/10 often brings awareness of where your ego and higher self are in or out of harmony.

• Integration: It’s a time to ground lessons learned since the 8/8 and 9/9 portals and embody them in daily life.

⸻

✨🔮✨
How to Work with the 10/10 Portal

Here are some ways you can align with the energy:

1. Set Clear, Soul-Aligned Intentions

📝Journal: What am I ready to complete? What am I ready to step into?

💚Write 10 affirmations that reflect the new energy you want to anchor.

2. Perform a Cleansing + Activation Ritual

You can create sacred space by:

🌫️Smudging or using a cleansing spray (especially with rosemary, frankincense, or juniper).

🕯️Lighting a candle to symbolize stepping into the light of your next chapter.

🧭Calling in the directions and elements to support your transition.
Then, visualize yourself walking through a radiant golden doorway — the “10/10 portal” — and receiving your new energetic codes.

3. Work with Crystals

💎Crystals that harmonize with the 10/10 energy include:

• Citrine – manifestation and clarity

• Clear Quartz – amplification of intentions

• Labradorite – transformation and higher guidance

• Selenite – cleansing and connection to Source

4. Meditate on Divine Alignment

🧘🏻‍♀️During meditation, focus on aligning your energy field with your higher self’s timeline.
You can visualize 10 golden rays streaming into your crown chakra, anchoring you in divine truth and purpose.

5. Ground and Integrate

🏞️🐾After portal work, grounding is essential.
Spend time in nature, drink plenty of water, and reflect on any insights that came through.
This ensures the energetic upgrades translate into practical action and real-world change.💚

🌕 🌾Tonight’s Super Harvest Moon (6–7 October 2025) the full moon occurs early on 7 October at ~4:48 am local time.

Tonight we are bathed in the radiant glow of the Harvest Supermoon — the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, shining larger and brighter than usual.

♈️🔭Astrological & Celestial Meaning

🐏The moon peaks in Aries — fire, initiation, boldness, sovereignty.

🌕Because it coincides with lunar perigee (its closest point to Earth), it’s a supermoon — intensifying its light, its pull, its voice.

🪐The moon will drift near Saturn in the sky, giving us a cosmic juxtaposition: the moon’s emotional, reflective rays alongside Saturn’s grounding, karmic weight.

🎑📿Symbolic & Spiritual Themes🍄‍🟫🍂

🥮Harvest & Completion — This moon asks: what is ripe in your life now? What have you grown, nurtured, cultivated? What calls to be gathered in — materially, spiritually, emotionally?

💡Revelation & Illumination — Under full light, shadows are revealed. Secrets, inner truths, hidden threads may come into view. This is a night to see clearly.

🍂Release & Letting Go — As fullness precedes the waning, this moon supports shedding what no longer serves — emotional weights, unhelpful patterns, stale energy.

🐦‍🔥Empowerment & Rebirth — Because it’s in Aries, there is also a current of initiation, of new fires, of stepping into more of who you are. Let this moon ignite your inner flame.

🌉Threshold & Transition — We stand between seasons now. This moon is a bridge: from the labours of harvest to the inward months. Use it as a hinge between what has been and what is to come.

🕯🔥🔮Ritual Prompts🍁🍄🌾

Tonight, under the light of the supermoon:

🙌Create a moon altar with autumn symbols — nuts, seeds, herbs, candles.

✍️Write down what you are ready to release — burn, bury, or cast into running water.

💎Place crystals, talismans, intentions in moonlight to be charged.

🧘🏻‍♀️Meditate or journey with a question: What do I need to bring home with me?

🌝Speak to the moon — give gratitude, call in guidance, open your heart.

🌕The next full moons in this supermoon series are on 5 November (Beaver Moon) 🌕 and 4 December (Cold Moon) in 2025 🌕

🌾Harvest Supermoon (6 Oct 2025)
Harvest Moon / Supermoon
The opening of the autumn full-moon trilogy. A gateway, a turning point.
Abundance, gratitude, gathering in what has matured (inner and outer harvests). Illumination, revelation, thanksgiving, threshold work. The energy is full, generous, strong — a moment of flowering before decline.

🦫Beaver Moon (5 November 2025)
Supermoon
The second in the supermoon trio. It follows the Harvest Moon’s gathering, moving deeper into autumn.
Preservation, protection, steadying, preparing. The Beaver is a creature of building, of shelter and fortification — spiritually, one might focus on anchoring, building strong foundations for the inward months. Letting the harvest inform how you shape the rest of your year.

🥶Cold Moon (4 December 2025)
Supermoon
The final of the supermoon set. By then, the light of the year is flowing to its darker phase; the world shifts toward winter.
Purification, deep release, letting go, surrender, inner gestation. This moon may carry the weight and clarity of everything that’s matured and been sifted through the autumn. It is a time to complete what needs completing, and to prepare for rest and inner renewal.

Mabon blessings to all of my pagan friends 🍂

20/09/2025

20/09/2025

🌚✨ The upcoming new moon solar eclipse just before Mabon is a powerful liminal moment — a reset energy (new moon), intensified by eclipse energy, and harmonized with the seasonal balance of Mabon (Autumn Equinox). It’s about rebirth, balance, letting go, and planting intentions for the dark half of the year.
