Emporiblog - January New Moon 2024

-
Hello all! We've got our first New Moon post of the year and you would not believe how many times I've typed 2023 instead of 2024!


This New Moon is in Capricorn ♑ and will help you start off the year! We're not even two weeks on but if things have already gone wrong, don't worry! This moon is very much go time even if you need to do a few things first. First, look back at your accomplishments and milestones and see what has happened. Then, you can reflect on goals and desires both new and old. Finally, set your new goals.

This moon also technically falls on 11/1, an angel number which is all about intuition and trusting your gut...


Currently in retrograde, we have:

- Mercury (post shadow)
- Uranus 


Crystals

Here are some Crystals to work with during this time: 

- Moonstone
- Malachite
- Quartz (Tangerine)
- Merlinite
- Azurite
- Sugilite
- Onyx
- Fluorite
- Garnet
- Black Tourmaline
- Sodalite

If you're drawn to any other Crystals during this time, use those too!


Herbs/Flowers

Below are some Flowers and Herbs for this New Moon (if you don't have the actual plant, the corresponding incense/oil will be fine):


- Marjoram
- Caraway
- Rosemary
- Chamomile
- Tarragon
- Ivy
- Camellia
- Trillium
- Baby's Breath
- Pansies

If you're using the actual plant or the corresponding essential oils, please check our PET SAFETY posts!


I hope you've enjoyed this post! I need to pull my socks up and do some research so hopefully there will be some other posts besides Moons and Tarot coming this month!


Blessings,

Ancestral Work (part 1 )

 Ancestral Communication and Work. Hi Guys, It's me again, as this is work that I have been actively doing, and Cat and I agreed that I would do this post for you. It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...
