To do or not to do

[Tansel Coşkuner]

Are there general things to avoid during a new or a full moon? Recently
I've had 2 disturbing experiences which made me ponder on these
questions. One of them happened on the last new moon; I had the most
bizarre of nightmares, and intuitively I realized, it was because I had
drank too much water prior to sleeping.

The other one happened on this full moon, when the moon was on Scorpio.
While sleeping I woke up twice because in my dream spiders were crawling
all over my head. It was terrifying!

I used to keep dream journals, and I can see the spiders and scorpio
relationship recurring. Which is to say I won't be surprised sometime
next month to see them again in a dream. But I really don't want to!

Are there any traditions advising certain practices during special
times, like the new & full moon, eclipses and so on?

Well, I am not familiar with rituals etc., there might be some more
magickally educated people in the group.

My understanding is quite pragmatic. The New Moon is when the energy
in Nature is at its lowest point. Physiology is the least active and
so the body might find it difficult processing large quantities of
food or liquid, so there can be some unpleasant anomalies in body/
mind.

Full Moon is the reverse, everything is extra active, especially our
subconsciousness. When the Full Moon is in Scorpio, the emotions and
the unconsciousness are especially turbulent so it would be a good
idea to avoid disturbing movies, discussions etc.

But hey, the Full Moon in Scorpio happens once a year only.

Dear Tansel
I have been practising kundalini yoga according to the phases of moon in yogasala in Istanbul- actually I joined the classes just for 3 times but it was amazing. For instance in full moon it is time for to be complete and we simply appreciate the past experiences and leave them in peace etc.
The dreams are very uniqe notions and we need to see what these symbols represent in our lives. I recommend u to read Erich Fromm's the forgotten language understanding of dreams fairy tales and myths. Also in Gestalt approach we look through every single object, feeling, person and incidence seperatly and we want the dreamer to be these things and express himself by his feelings, thoughts... Etc. So you can be your spiders and talk as these spiders in your dream to find out what they represent for u. I know this sounds weird but it works. Try it.
I hope these basic advises work for u.

Dear Tansel,

Magickally speaking there aren't too many things you should not do
during the New or the Full Moon. Most of the evocational/invocational
ritual magick is done in between the New and the Full Moon. They are
very rarely done when the Moon is waning.

It is not uncommon that people react in this way or the other when the
Moon is full. After all, the word "lunatic" comes from Luna.;) I know
quite a few people who can't sleep when the Moon is full or they have
headaches or some other "issues".

Now, back to your "issues". Have you tried experimenting a bit? The
New Moon is on the 14th of May, if I'm not mistaken. Try doing the
same thing again and write down the results.

As for spiders dream - spider mean different thing in different
cultures. For example, in Egyptian mythology spider represents Neith,
spinner and weaver of destiny. Later on it will take form of Ishtar in
Babylon and Athena in Greece. On the other hand is some other cultures
spider is a trickster and a malice.

The important thing is for you to answer the question - what does a
spider mean for you? Since it is a repeating symbol in your dreams it
more than clear that you subconscious is trying to tell you something.
What? Well, that is something only you can figure out.

I hope this was helpful.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try talking to those spiders. I did a quick search on google.books and found this, however no preview is available. I've never heard of yogasala but it sounds interesting.

Teşekkür ederim :)

hi guys,

 

I subscribed this group as a once email a day setting. I'm getting way too many for my inbox...

what is going on ?

I think I'm on an email list not the google group list.

Please take me off the email list and just leave me on the google group list where the once a day email settings will take effect.

thanks

heiko

Tansel - Try doijng the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. It's the most intense and rewarding ritual to do in all of Magick - just google it - there are many versions but basically you banish all unwanted energies from the space you are in - including any negative energy of your own - eg. Mind Body Soul.

Hi,

93

This may be a good starting point: http://www.thelemapedia.org/index.php/Lesser_Ritual_of_the_Pentagram
As oona said, it's a very good ritual recommended for daily practice -
at least twice a day. Though, I think that in your case LBRP is not
the right tool. You don't really want to banish the messingers in your
dreams. You should embrace them and understand what do they actually
want to tell you.
