¬ How the May moon affects us
The moon makes us dream. A symbol of the cycle of eternal renewal, it never fails to fascinate. The Moon unites Man and Cosmos and has an impact on everything we do.
¬ The Moon - a source of inspiration
In a gentle mood, the Moon lends itself to dreams and fantasy: the moon of lovers. When more tricky, the full moon has more negative connotations, linked to a form of violence, of confinement to bed on full moon nights and the days that follow. Some people find it disturbs their sleep.
¬ The moon wields a triple physical force over the Earth
1) An energy field: it has a magnetic field that exerts an influence over health, energy and vegetation.
2) Gravitation: operating like a magnet.
3) Light: the nearer and the more visible the moon, the stronger and more direct its impact on living beings.
¬ The Lunar Cycles
The lunar month can be broken down into four principle phases.
˜ New moon: the moon is completely obscured.
‚ First quarter of the waxing moon: the right hand side of the moon is completely illuminated.
J Full moon: the lunar circle is completely illuminated by the sun, the moon is visible.
ƒ Last quarter and waning moon: we see less and less light from the moon, until it is completely dark.
¬ How to work with the moon
The days of the full moon can trigger aggression in many people. Over this period we are more prone to feeling irritable.
New moon days are perfect for a detox diet, particularly if you suffer from problems with your digestion or your skin.
The waxing moon (between the new moon and the full moon) is a time when the body regains its strength. This is a good time for summoning all your strength and launching new plans.
The waning moon (between the full moon and the new moon) promotes the elimination of toxins from the body and boosts weight loss, the cleansing process and the clearing of blockages.

¬ Breathe well and get a new lease of life!
If you follow the lunar cycles, you can use your breathing to purify and rejuvenate yourself in mind and body. We are made up of our thoughts and feelings and so they can hamper our breathing. Our respiration and our emotions are linked. When we’re not breathing freely, our body may suffer the consequences.
¬ In a waning moon, free your mind of worries and bad vibrations
Light a white candle, turn to face the west and stretch out your arms. Breathe in calmly and exhale slowly while focusing on the flame of the candle. Then breathe in to the count of 6. Hold your breath and count to 6, then breathe out to the count of 6. The flame of the candle will blow out, extinguishing with it all with all your negativity and worries. Relight the candle and repeat the process 6 times over.
¬ Use the waxing moon to get on top form
Every day over the course of this lunar phase, perform the following breathing exercise to boost your energy levels and serenity and improve sleep quality.
With your arms and hands stretched out in front of you, breathe in to the count of 8 then bring your hands towards your rib cage, then hold your breath to the count of 8. This will fill you with energy. Then exhale to the count of 8 stretching your arms out again. Repeat this exercise 8 times in a row.
THE MAY PENTACLE
Pentacles protect their user from negative influences, jealousy and misfortune. They are objects of power, a sign of the union between man and the higher, divine forces. They are designed to pick up on the vibrations of luck and harness them in the service of their owner so permitting them to achieve their goals. Pentacles are personal and cannot be used by any person other than their owner.
Make your May Pentacle
From May 1st onwards. The fact of making your pentacle with no tool other than a quill pen will bring you closer to the tradition and it will be powerfully charged with your vibrations, hopes and priorities. Your concentration will be more intense.
You will need: - a piece of white card measuring 10cm x 10cm, ideally a square of vegetable or animal parchment – a quill pen with black ink – a white candle.
The ritual:
Light the white candle, then:
« With this flame I light up my soul in the light of the Sun; ray of truth, ray of knowledge, ray of nature, be with me in my endeavours, in my mind and my being. May the triple candle of grace light up my soul and protect me from problems and jealousies. May the strength of the light drive my work and empower my pentacle, so it may have the strength to make my dreams come true. May it be so. »
Draw the pentacle in one line, without stopping. Draw the 1st circle then the second. Draw the central cross and continue with the 5-point stars. Finish by writing in the magical names and signs.
Place your hands over it and say the following blessing:
« True receiver of the ebb-tide, I take in that which has been spent and can never be spent again. Find a place, through the mysterious turn of the tide, the ebbing of the sea, to cleanse my shores.
Great and good source of flux, send me all that I need to these shores, knowing how I drift, may your long wave be generous. Through the rich gift of the tide, I will lack for nothing. As I wish so may it come to pass.»
To finish, sign the back and write down, in just a few words, your hopes and priorities. Keep it on you for the whole of the month of May. Pick it up often and think of your hopes. At the end of the month, burn it in the flame of a white candle. You can renew your wish with June’s Pentacle.
YOUR GUARDIAN ANGELS
Belief in the existence of a guardian angel dates back to the most ancient Christian texts wherein each individual had a protector, an ally watching over their life.
Psalm 91 – « There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. »
Psalm 34 – « The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, And delivereth them. »
Exodus – « I will set an Angel before you, to keep you on your path. »
Guardian angels are generally seen as benevolent friends, celestial brothers, confidantes, advisors and intercessors. Is it not the case that many highly trustworthy people claim to have been saved through the providential intervention of angels?
Invocation to your guardian angel
For your prayer to be fully effective, for it to lift up your mind and your soul, it must be charged with emotion. The invocation to your angels will give results if you are on the same vibratory wavelength as them, if your prayer springs forth spontaneously from your heart, from a powerful desire for fusion and quasi-amorous symbiosis. Any positive and well-targeted invocation or prayer will always arrive at its destination and trigger a response wave of help to suit the need concerned.
To feel the presence of the Angels, you absolutely must achieve a state of relaxation « let go » both physically and mentally. Releasing your tension is vital. The best way of relaxing is by performing breathing exercises. Your breath linked you to the Universe. Your breath represents your contact with life.
Breathe deeply, holding this positive energy for a moment before exhaling the air, along with all your tension. You are now ready to contact your Guardian Angel.
Invocation to your Guardian Angel
« O faithful Friend,
(Speak his name three times),
You who protects me at all times,
I send you all my love.
Help me to fight on every day,
Against evil, and to do good,
To move forwards along my path.
Give me good intuition,
A solution for every problem.
Confident of your presence,
I am filled with hope.
Thanks to you I am one with God,
At all times and in all places.
I give thanks to you for this great gift,
As we move forward together towards the Golden Age. Amen. »
