¬ New Moon Fast Days

Fasting, done properly, is both safe and effective. I personally fast regularly on full moon and new moon days, drinking only water and tea when I’m thirsty and meditating for 30 to 45 minute sessions.
For a new moon fast, you need to plan your meditation session for the end of the day, when your energy levels are falling, while for the full moon you should mediate in the early morning, when your energy levels naturally rise and surge. Here is what you have to do:

Ÿ Sit down on a cushion in a quiet and isolated spot, 1.5 metres from an unadorned, light-coloured wall. Take up the lotus position (right foot on your left thigh and left foot on the right thigh) or the semi-lotus (left foot just placed on the right leg, gently turned inwards and to the left). You can also sit on a chair with your back nice and straight, feet flat on the ground. Then put your hands on your knees, palms facing upward, and eyes half-closed with your gaze fixed on the angle formed by the ground and the wall.

Ÿ Next, let your thoughts play across the screen of your mind, allow them to come and go without making any effort to stop them or take them any further. Respond to each new thought by focusing on your breathing: inhale deeply raising your stomach, then exhale slowly. You can then go back about your daily business completely normally.

These two periods of fasting will allow your body to cleanse itself regularly, and replenish its reserves from the forces of nature and the magnetic currents induced with the progress of the lunar cycle.

You can still drink tea or coffee over the course of the day. However, my advice would be to limit yourself to 3 to 4 cups a day. Mineral water, on the other hand, is completely compatible with lunar energy and can be absorbed in whatever quantities you wish.
You can do this controlled fast four times a year, with each season. As well as cleansing and revitalising your body, it will make you more determined and strengthen your mind. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it!

Ÿ Sunburn

You can calm sunburn with a pot of yoghurt. This « mask » should bring relief in 15 to 20 minutes. If you don’t have any yoghurt, rub some slices of very ripe tomato over the burned area.

Ÿ Treat heavy legs

If you suffer from heavy legs and swollen feet, prepare a footbath by soaking your feet in a bowl of cool water with a handful of sea salt. You could also add a few drops of peppermint essential oil.

Ÿ Make your eyes shine before you go out.

If you want to have a sparkle in your eye all evening, even after a long day’s work, what you need are blueberries, which will brighten the whites of your eyes. You can buy blueberry water eye drops at your local pharmacy, for use every morning. They have the additional benefit of relaxing your eyes, which is a very big plus for those who sit in front of a computer screen at work.

¬ 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?

Ÿ 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 can tune into their vibratory wavelength, 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. »

This is a ritual for when the moon is waxing. Light a green candle. You can use it together with the piece of paper with your wishes written on it, to charge them with greater power. Repeat the following words, three times over, every day of the waxing moon.

¬ The July Pentacle

Pentacles protect their user from negativity, 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 July Pentacle

To be made from July 1^st onwards.  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 recite the following words.

« 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.  »

While you’re making your pentacle, keep you mind

focused on whatever you have asked for.

Place your hands on it and give 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 most pressing needs. Keep it on you for the whole of the month of July. Pick it up often and think of your hopes. At the end of the month, burn it in the flame of a white candle.
