SUMMARY:Ash Moon: Celtic Tree Calendar
DESCRIPTION:In ancient Europe, the winter’s ice began to thaw during the Celtic Month of Ash Moon. People ventured out of their homes and villages for the first time since the darkening days of late autumn. It is perhaps for this reason that this month is linked with journeys of all Kinds. Energy directed now should focus on transformation, moving you into a new space either physically or spiritually.\nTaking time out\nThe month of the Ash Moon is a good time to start planning your summer holiday and to acclimatise your body to spending time outside. Cast energy forward that takes your inner energies on an excursion by harnessing natural forces, such as floating wishes downstream in a paper boat, or blessing a feather and letting it fly on the wind. Valentine’s Day also occurs near the time of the Ash Moon, so cast love energy that focuses on sharing your journey in the year ahead with someone special.\nA sacred tree of magic\nThe ash has always been revered as a magical tree. In Scandinavian countries the universe was believed to be composed of a giant ash called Yggdrasil, and runes were traditionally made from ash wood. In Greece, ash trees are sacred to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the wood was used to carve charms that protected against drowning.\nAsh for the sick\nAsh is renowned for its healing powers. Sick children were passed through the ash branches, and a bowl of water and ash leaves by the sick bed was an old remedy to speed healing.\nIn witchcraft, ash wood is traditionally used to make healing wands and the leaves from the ash tree are used to boost the power of protection and prosperity incenses.\nAsh Moon energy\nUse Ash Moon energy to focus your mind through meditation or move your life in a new direction. Use this month to create a healing wand or to cast love energy forward.\nJourney energy\nUse the ash to attract good fortune in all of your journeys, both physical and metaphysical.\n\nWrite a letter to the angels telling them what you want to change in your life and asking for help. Address it to paradise and ‘post it’ by burning the letter in a candle flame. Wait for your answer. It’s guaranteed that it will come in unexpected ways.\nDraw an image of your wish on a luggage label and attach to a kite. Fly the kite and ask the spirits of the wind to make it come true.\nCharge a feather by passing it through incense smoke and repeating your wish three times. Drop the feather from a bridge into a river to activate the energy.\n\nWalking meditation\nPractising this technique during the Ash Moon will free your mind from stress and attract solutions to your problems. You will need a smudge stick, a bunch of herbs – usually white sage – that is used to ‘smudge’ or cleanse an area with smoke.\n\nLight a smudge stick, then take time to relax and breathe deeply.\nDirect the smoke around your body, taking time to cleanse your aura, and say, “Spirit I walk this journey and invite you to join me. May each step be sacred.”\nSet out on a walk that takes you through nature. Everything on your journey has a message for you, so relax and enjoy it.\nOn your return write down any animals you encountered and unusual sights or flashes of inspiration you received.\n\nA healing wand\nHarness the healing powers of the ash to make a wand.\n\nLay your hands on an ash tree’s trunk and say, “Magical tree I ask for a wand infused with your power to heal.”\nCut a branch the length of your forearm and the thickness of the base of your index finger.\nShave off the bark and decorate with a soldering iron. Runes and spirals are appropriate.\nCharge the wand my leaving it in spring water overnight. Use your wand whenever you are going to direct healing energy.\n\nAsh love energy\nValentine’s Day falls close to the Ash Moon, so cast your energy to attract romance.\nYou will need:\n\nRed candle\nValentine’s card\nThree red rose petals\nRed pen\n\n\nLight the candle saying, “Flame of desire, light the fire, three kisses and love will come.”\nKiss each rose petal and place them in the card.\nClose the envelope an seal with red wax.\nSend the card to your lover, or carry it as a talisman to attract love.\n\n
