6th January 2023

Hi everyone! first and foremost happy new year to all and your families.

And a full wolf moon blessing to you all. The first full moon of 2023 is today, the 6^th of January, at 6.09 pm, depending on where you are in the world, and it falls on little Christmas, Nollaig Na MBan.

What can I say about this? or rather how do I feel? I can only share what energies I feel and have been seen around me and yes, there is a magical feeling, and yet an unknown sense within, like something bigger is going on in our world and yes we are all feeling it.

Each and every one of us is on our path and each journey and experience are so different and yet there is a deep sense of understanding for each other and support.

On this full wolf moon, on the 6th, Little Christmas, so many astrologers are talking about this massive shift of energy and trusting in the unseen. Today has also been 3 kings day and the 12^th night, in other words it's time to bring Christmas to a close, and move forward and this night is a perfect time to do so, on this, the wolf full moon.

And how do you celebrate this special day and set your intentions on this full moon?

As the energies are so high and so much is going on, it brought my attention to the energies and vibrations and, my goodness, it's magical and quite intense for some. So maybe on this full wolf moon, you keep it simply sit in a quiet space, and just be.

Go deep within and find that inner king, wolf, woman/queen. And this goes for all souls, as we all have these archetypes within and yes, many more, but just let's focus on the wolf - quiet, loner, lone wolf, the wolf howling at the full moon. It's like it's almost asking the moon for support and to shine a light down on our souls and hear our prayers and intentions. But before we embark on this full moon intentions this month, the first one of the year, start as you mean to go on.

1 look deep within and ask...

2 do I accept myself exactly as I am at this moment in time?

3 Faults and all. Because when we go within we find fault. I'm not good enough, I'm too fat or thin, etc, etc, you know that place.

4 be gentle with yourself, ask yourself the question: what do I really want or need in my life?

5 do I love myself just the way I am? and be honest with yourself

6 It's good to write this down or write a letter to your little self, your teenage self, your adult self, even your future self You can burn this letter or maybe keep it and look at it in the next new year and see if you have achieved anything you have written... again these are just suggestions, each to there own.

So before we dive into this very powerful energy tap into your heart and soul and see where you are at. Only you can answer this question. I have been hearing and feeling strongly over the past few months go deep when you ask for things to manifest, ask yourself where am I at as I ask this in my life?

Where is my confidence, courage, love, acceptance, and respect for myself and others? this can play a big part in this massive shift in energy at this moment in time. If your energy is off, as you ask for a change, take a step back and know that is also okay. Just STOP and just be. Change the inner feelings to the vibration of DIVINE LOVE, JOY, ABUNDANCE, but most of all acceptance.

As I said earlier, start as you mean to go on. Stop, look and listen. A bit like crossing the road, you stop look and listen because you know it's the right and safe thing to do. Same goes in our spiritual life, and this night and even over the next few days, as the moon can stay around for a day or two, see where your energy is at and what patterns you are repeating. Take this opportunity, on this the first full moon of 2023, to bring about that change and shift in energy by starting with the self-first... and no better time than little Christmas, the energy of the 3 kings, wolf moon , woman, and bring healing and balance so you can move forward in love light.

LOVE AND LIGHT, LOVE AND LIGHT, LOVE AND LIGHT, AND SELF-ACCEPTANCE.

May you be blessed with pure divine love on this full wolf moon, Bernadette Mac

17th January 2022

Hi everyone, welcome to the first full moon of 2022 and the last in the lunar calendar otherwise known as the wolf moon, Ice moon... and today the full moon is in the star sign Cancer, the crab. Let's see what comes about today 17th of January 2022

We also have the medicine bundle card from sacred spirit cards.

The moon on a chimney top was taken last night by myself...

and this morning a good friend sent me this photo of the moon in the morning sky from Roscommon, thank you, Amanda

So what is the full moon about for you at this time, the first full moon of the new year?

What comes to mind is new ideas and new intentions have been set. A lot of people do this and some like myself like to see what unfolds and yet be mindful of the energies that are about at this time. So I am going with the photos and the energies, as every picture tells a story, and there is so much to see not only in a daily card but a photo, so on this first full moon of the year I felt very guided to not research any of the full moon energies on Youtube but to have faith and trust in my own inner guidance. And I invite you to do the same. Maybe you can relate to what messages are given here today. and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year.

So let's begin. The full moon, the wolf moon, the Ice Moon. The wolf image comes to mind howling at the moon on a snow mountain. In other words the wolf is the reflection of you setting your intentions on this new year or asking for guidance.

Snow and ice have been fresh and clear so as you set your intentions to be clear in your heart and mind of what you ask for as you voice your prayer to the light of the full moon bringing in clear intentions.

The howling of the moon, with the wolf, also has a sense of releasing old stuck energies.

Then we have the medicine bundle. What do you need to heal before you move forwards?

Have you unfinished business you need to clear up before you move forward in this new year?

Pause for a moment and do that now. Maybe write it down or just say it aloud:

"I let go of this or that in my life that no longer serves me"

Now let's talk about the star sign Cancer the crab? The crab has a hard shell around itself so ask yourself how are my boundaries at this moment in time in my life? have I set healthy boundaries?

Again pause and reflect on this question and see if there are parts of your life you need to apply this and set healthy boundaries?

Now the image of the moon on the chimney top... and I had fun taking this photo last night as nature presented this opportunity to me I thought of the fireplace in the home was a place where we sit and relax, in the heart of our homes. Each shot I took of the moon, it lifted in a few seconds up into the night sky, which was clear and the stars were very visible. So I thought of the new year the first full moon and setting intentions with the light of the full moon... and the power of prayer from our homes and hearts will be answered. All one had to do is trust and let go, have faith, let go of the steering wheel so to speak.

Last but not least we have the photo of the sunrise in the morning sent to me from a friend in Roscommon and the moon in the distance, lots of frost and pink colours. In the picture, you will see a fence of wire but it spread out not restricted, a word many of us are very familiar with over the past few years. Maybe now is the time to take that out of our mindset in a gentle way.

In the centre of the field stands a tree alone but strong. As the outer of the field boundaries are set in the distance, the moon is going down as the sun rises for a new day. Bring this new day to light with the loving light of the full moon, with healing, as we set our intentions moving forward later tonight on this first full moon of 2022.

And I would like to end with the prayer of the medicine bundle:

Symbols of connections, with Allies of the Earth, Medicine to heal us and give us rebirth. Talents to honour, abilities to praise, strength and compasssion guide our medicine ways.

Full Moon Blessings to you all, Bernadette Mac

10th January 2020

Hi everyone and welcome to a little bit of moon magic.

10th January 2020 the first full moon of the New Year named after the howling wolf in some cultures. It was known as the Old Moon, Ice Moon, Snow Moon and the moon after Yule. It is also a Penumbral lunar eclipse and the moon is in Cancer.

For some you may be feeling that you are doing a lot of shadow work, the more you rise the more the shadow shows itself. Well, let it show you what it is that you need to close the door shut on so you can go forward in the light.

This full wolf moon is asking you to now close the door shut. There has been a huge amount of illness in the late 2019 and it has been a great way to clear energy.

Change is happening on so many levels, transformation, let go. Look at it as not a breakdown but a break through.

The Eclipse is a way of bringing out these old stories which will pass, bringing about the light of the moon. There will be a fight or flight feeling but, know that you are growing. Cry. Crying is so healing. Give yourself the gift of self love, allow your gifts to shine through.

The date struck me with this full Wolf Moon – 10.2020 comes to 50 take away the 0 and you have the number 5, throat chakra - speak your truth. And still if you add the numbers up 122 leaving out the 0 also comes to 5... again speak and walk your truth.

The moon is about hidden magic, so go deep within, heal the past, bring out your gifts, and love, and most of all be true to yourself.

Many blessings, Bernadette Mac

21st January 2019

First full moon of 2019, a moon called the Super Blood Wolf Moon, and a total lunar eclipse.

I was just woken up, at about 4.30am'ish, thirsty and decided to go and look outside.

The moon was to the right of the house and it was nearly covered but I managed to get a photo of it. I felt a great sense of wonder.

I knew others were out and about around the country but, me being in an urban area, I felt like the only soul out taking the photos.

My own inner feeling was there was a soul healing and knowing taking place in the early hours of this morning. It was a rare opportunity for me and many others.

And for those who didn't see it, I know there was great healing taking place.

Moon blessings to all. Bernadette.

The eve of the Super Full Blood Moon.

Let there be a feeling of peace and ease in your heart tonight.

By the light of the moon
may there be healing and blessings to all.

Preparation

As we approach the first full moon of 2019, a moon called the Super Blood Wolf Moon, and a total lunar eclipse on the 21st of January...

... ask yourself what do I want to achieve this year? have I let go of energies that no longer serve me?

The moon is, for some, a perfect opportunity to reset your goals and dreams for the coming year... kind of like a reboot.

So take the opportunity to reboot.

Make it simple as they say...

Make a list of what you want to manifest and let go of it, burn it, and just let it go.

We can use the the Super Blood Wolf Moon to start anew, but remembering every moment is an opportunity...

Blessings on this full Blood Wolf Moon.

5th February 2023

Hi everyone! welcome to the full moon in Leo the 5th of February 2023.

In the silence of love you will find the spark of life. Rumi.

As I sat to hold space on what to say for tonight full moon my mind went blank, but my soul said 'pull a card', so this is the card message for this full moon.

Emerging

"your true self - radiant, powerful, successful, and intelligent, - is now SHINING through the surface. Allow your true self to be visible to others, for you lift them up and inspire them."

You are awesome in so many ways, and you are beginning to trust and reveal your true Nature more easily, it's time for you to shine and no better time in this universe tonight, on the full moon in Leo.

At one time you may have believed that you had to hide your feelings from others (or even from yourself). Now however you realise how vital and attractive expressing your true authentic self is. Your angels are guiding you to honour your true feelings by expressing them to yourself and others. The angels will help of lovingly talk about our feelings, so that no misunderstandings occur with friends and loved ones. Your angels will never guide you to say anything that hurt you or anyone else!

They will also ensure that your life will emerge to a new level of inner peace as you let your true self come into play.

As I sat to hold space on what to say for tonight full moon my mind went blank, but my soul said 'pull a card', so this is the card message for this full moon.

Emerging

"your true self - radiant, powerful, successful, and intelligent, - is now SHINING through the surface. Allow your true self to be visible to others, for you lift them up and inspire them."

They will also ensure that your life will emerge to a new level of inner peace as you let your true self come into play.

Wow, what can I say! this speaks volumes today on this full moon in Leo. It is your time to shine as we have just come past St Bridget Day, the goddess of fire, and I spoke about how a fire starts off with a spark and that spark ignites into a fire over time.

That can happen quickly or slowly, depending on each soul / person journey. That spark is in each and every one of us, just like a star far away in the sky, the sun and the many fiery sunrises and sunsets and of course the light of the moon.

Some of you have been experiencing retreating into the self over the winter, others held the space as winter is a good opportunity to go within and heal and nourish the soul. And now we are in springtime and it is that time to emerge and plant the seed of your dreams and goals and witness the spark come to life. Some may need more time, and that is okay to be gentle with the self and know there are those who are holding the space for you.

So tonight, on this full moon, whatever you choose to do to bring about that spark so that you can shine. It is always a good time on a full moon as it's said to be a very powerful and spiritual time to do so. Flow, create, ease, trust, set the space and allow what is coming through come through now, that we have come through the winter.

We have experienced healing and deep inner work... it's time now to let go and step forward into the new new. Work with the ancestors, angels, and guides, and remember we are all that, and it's time to activate your fire. Leo being all about healthy pride stand in your light.

Like the lion call on strength, love, and liberation, when you know and trust all will just flow with no drama or struggle. So tonight just be still. And as you do your ritual focus on the words on this card maybe you need to make a list of what is holding you hostage as you go forward. Sometimes it's a belief or a pattern. Just know you have all the answers inside yourself, so may you burn brightly with the fire of Bridget, divine energy, healing, and love, and emerge to the trueness of the self for the highest good of all.

Love, light, and blessings on this full Leo moon, Bernadette Mac

16th February 2022

Hi everyone, welcome to the Full Moon in Leo on the 16th of February 2022 written 12:03 on 15th February.

Otherwise known as the snow moonFebru ary's full moon in Leo is Romantic, Full of love, and focused on the affairs of the heart.

If your love life has felt frustratingly quiet so far this year you're far from alone. 2022 kicked off with Venus the planet of romance in full-blown retrograde, making it a bit more challenging to enjoy much forward movements in regard to pursuits of pleasure and matters of the heart. Thankfully, it went direct on January 29th and has come up to February's fiery full moon in Leo, the relationship ruling planet, has a starring role and could turn everything around.

As we have just celebrated St. Valentine's Day on Monday the 14th of February and with the full moon being in Leo for some, it will bring sparks of romance and love for some people midweek.

And this full moon is falling in confident fun-loving and big-hearted Leo,

You can expect to feel more exuberant, empowered, and optimistic, and because the sign of the lion is also the ruler of the 5th house of romance and self-expression you can expect both of these teams to feature prominently as well.

It's also a good time to wrap up projects and ideas. And to close doors to things that no longer serve us.

Moving forward in the energy of love...

Self love and self care...

Letting go of the old and making room for the new.

Think for a moment of a fiery passion for something you believe in in your life, if whether it be romance, a hobby, getting out in nature, meditating, crafting. Think of what it is that gives you the most pleasure and most reward. Tune into that frequency of feeling good and full of passion. As you step through a new door, as you close an old door behind you you, you bring with you that passion and vibrant energy full of love as you lift your frequency on this full moon in Leo.

Ask yourself:

Where do I need more passion?

What is holding me back from moving forward?

Is it fear of being hurt in love?

If so how can I change that today?

Focus on the light and good feelings.

As you lift your heart and soul to a place you feel comfortable with and just trust that everything is working out for you for the highest good of all involved.

On the eve and night of the full snow moon in Leo again a good way to manifest is to write down what you want to let go of then burn it.

And then write down your wishes, and burn them also.

Do whatever is good for you these are, just guidelines.

Maybe you have a way of celebrating the full moon that works for you.

Many blessings to you all on this full snow moon in Leo

Love, light, and healing -

Bernadette Mac

27th February 2021

Hi Everyone, you are very welcome to some moon magic and this full moon the 2nd one of the year, the 27th of February 2021, Full Moon in Virgo.

As it is now springtime and the evenings are getting so much brighter and it's a time of birthing of new growth,

Did you plant new seeds in the garden? or in the home ?

Did you ask for new ideas and projects on new moon?

Have you made changes in your life?

If so bring yourself back to the moment of planting the seed of new ideas, or new growth, and look into your life today and see if you have achieved any of these goals, or maybe you asked on another's behalf. No matter how big or small the change is, it matters. It makes a big difference, and seeing your effort come to life is very rewarding.

So, on this full moon in Virgo, I invite you to step out in nature and ground yourself deep into the earth beneath your feet. Take a deep breath and bring the fresh grounding energy of the earth up through your body and up to the light of the full moon, to purify your physical and emotional body.

Ask yourself is there any loose ends you need to release and let go of ?

are there any issues you need to also let go of from the past, so you can break free and move forward and grow just like the seed you planted?

As we come into this new season and the Spring Equinox afoot watch your manifestations bloom to life. Just like a flower. bring peace to your heart and feel your soul restored as you align with your higher self and heart energy

Now this full moon I was guided to bring in the crystal moonstone.

And the meaning of the moonstone is compassion and empathy. It helps us to tap into our intuition and enhances our psychic abilities and clairvoyance. The feminine energy is activated by the moonstone. The serene and tranquil energy of the moonstone also invites creativity, healing and motherly protection.

Like many I know, including myself, I always leave out my crystals on the full moon to be cleared and energized and I ask you to pay close attention to the moonstone as she does her work in the field of healing.

So on this full moon, I wish you all great healing and blessings. Stay connected, grounded.

Love and light. Bernadette Mac

9th February 2020

Hi everyone welcome to a little moon magic.

This month the 8th and 9th of February is a Snow Moon in Leo. Some are saying "what does this mean". Words that come to mind is creativity , manifestation, love, playfulness , music.

Leo being the lion, the leader, maybe it's a time of taking back control of your life expressing yourself and being creative, seeing things unfold in a beautiful way, new love, or love for the self, being more mindful of your health and what direction your life has been going.

Have you been feeling the need to start something new?

It's that time of Spring where all the seeds we planted, whether it be in the ground or in our life, when things are starting to grow. Even a snowdrop appears through the snow, a great symbol of strength just like the lion.

Over the next few days take time out and see how far you have come, see the positive in your life, also this Full Moon falls near Valentine's Day. Leo being the fire and passion, a time of creativity, throwing yourself into what brings you passion in life, your life, your gifts, a very creative time.

Also the Snow Moon is like a blank page. In some cases snow storms keep us from going from our homes but gives us an a opportunity to focus on our gifts, get back to basics and create our gifts we put away on a shelf.

So this Full Moon use words and actions that are very positive and see the seed you planted grow and come into your light... see your strengths and gifts but most of all set yourself free and be in a place of joy, be grateful.

Love and light on this full Snow Moon in Leo, Bernadette Mac.

19th February 2019

As we come up to the 2nd full moon of the year 2019, again it is still a New Year to some, just having passed the Chinese New Year, the 5th of February 2019 and, of course, Valentines just on the 14th. So a lot of energies moving there.

So I invite you to pause for a moment and remember loved ones who brought us joy and laughter, and then bring the focus on the self.

Maybe some of you have started spring cleaning in the home or internally, breaking old patterns of thought or actions. Only you know your journey to date.

Have you noticed how things around us in nature are coming to life very early this year? time is surely speeding up.

As you go about doing a spring clean maybe you come across some old photos and items you are letting go of or keeping.

As you do so, have you noticed how time had flown by and how everything seems so far away, yet at the same time close?

It is, maybe, the energy coming up to the Spring Equinox. I am no expert, but something to think about.

So on this full moon, blessings. May your journey so far have been a gentle one.

Preparing for the Full Moon

As we approach the 2nd full moon of this year, 2019, on 19th of February, it is a time of new beginnings, a time of growth.

Buds are starting to come alive again, the birds are singing in the evening time, spring is surely here. The evenings are getting brighter so pause for a moment and ask yourself;

'What is it I would like to see grow and flourish in my life this spring?'

A little thought for the next coming weeks....

'What are you grateful for???'

Only in gratitude can we make room for more blessings, a time for love, light and healing. Bernadette

7th March 2023

Hi Everyone! a very warm welcome to this month's full moon in Virgo on the 7th of March 2023

A time of spring cleaning and revamping your inner and outer life. As we set our intentions tonight on this March full moon ask yourselves the questions - again these are just suggestions.

1. what is it that I still need to let go of that no longer serves me?

2. what do I need to clear out around the home? clearing out the home is very rewarding. How many times have you felt so good after doing so?

3. take a look at your diet. Are you putting healthy food into your body, as this time of spring is a great time for a detox.

4. what habits in my life and patterns do I need to clear out once and for all, to break the chain for others, walking behind me, will benefit from. Of course for the higher good?

5. Ask yourself am I fulfilling my dreams goals and desires? If not do 3 small things a day that brings you closer to these dreams goals and desires - each small step will make a difference.

It is important to remember that the energy of this March full moon in Virgo is focused on the practical aspects of our lives and a time to be mindful of our physical health in daily routines and make adjustments where needed. And no better time than the spring full moon, a time of change, cleaning, and transformation, on all levels as we feel the energies of the light awakening within us all. As the light of not only the moon but the longer evenings brings about a transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly.

We are now coming out of the darkness of winter and it's time to celebrate this change, creativity, and balance. Be kind to yourself, gentle and loving, as we go through this change.

Grace, peace, love, balance, gentleness, and togetherness, are the keywords that come to me right now, and support and holding space for each other in love and light.

The power is in our hands and we must use it for the good of a better future to come for all, for the highest good of all.

Full moon blessings to all, Bernadette Mac

18th March 2022

Hi everyone! a little bit of moon magic today along with the spring equinox.

I know the full moon was on the 18th but felt it around over the last few nights and still feel it around for a few more. So, with the light of the full worm moon, think only positive thoughts and intentions.

There is beautiful energy about this springtime and the sun also as the evenings are so much brighter and it surly lifts the spirits of every human soul today.

There is divine energy about. Tapping into that energy and feeling the love, peace, joy and balance and most of all the healing from nature all around you whether it be the sea, a forest, by a lake or deep in the woods, it's always good to stand in your bare feet if you can and let mother earth support you at this time. Many blessings to you all on this spring equinox and full moon.

Let the energies of love, peace, Joy and happiness fill you up in divine light today so you can shine your light for those who need it on there journey.

Blessings Bernadette

Preparation for 18th March 2022

Hi everyone, welcome to the full moon to come on the 18th of March 2022.

Today the 15th of March I was very much guided and inspired by a dream I had last night to write a few days before the full worm moon and the spring equinox to follow.

The dream was about storytelling with old friends from the past of all events of Taracelebrations down through the years, of all past celebrations and gatherings. In the dream, we all sat together shared memories and we were eating some chocolate. I'm guessing that is to do with Easter. Now I know it is my dream but it surely inspired me to get ready for the full moon and spring equinox and I felt as I awoke that it was important to listen to my inner guidance and it was not only a dream of personal stuff to me, which only I can see, but because it was also about Taracelebrations and the people in my dream were there and it inspired me to write a small piece today.

Maybe you might have a favourite time in the past that you celebrated the spring equinox you would like to share or just think about to yourself at the moment in time?

As each and every one of you prepare for the full moon and the spring equinox and of course, we have St Patricks day also, what changes do you see around you that are...

positive?

If not positive?

What do you need to do in order to bring a positive outlook into your life?

It does not have to be a big thing, remember the power of a mustard seed?

Which brings me to the seed each of you planted on the new moon maybe there are still seeds you might like to sow?

What have you been noticing in nature all around you and in your life that is bringing about a lifting of your vibration and light?

Are the seeds you planted on the new moon starting to grow? Or maybe just surfacing like the worm on the ground at this time?

Do you need to be more grounded and feel your feet firmly on the ground?

Make your own list if you wish, as we come up to the full moon, and write your own questions to yourself and what changes you would like to see in your personal life, as change starts with the self, and what changes you would like to see in our world, again remembering change starts with the self.

I will now leave you with these questions and suggestions and will come back on the 18th of March with more on the full moon. But for now lots of light, love, and peace to you all, Bernadette.

Message for 18th March 2022

Whether we like it or not there is a lot of sadness in our world today and it is a time when we can come together in peace and harmony and bring in balance.

But that balance must come from the self first and foremost.

Yes, we can switch off the news and not look at the media but what about the collective energy because as we are all connected and all one it very much affects us, even when we decide to turn off all news.

We are all human, so ask yourself what can I do to help in some small way with the events because we not only feel the energies of the full moon in our soul but we feel also what is happening to our brothers and sisters.

So lets spread the message of peace, balance, hope, love, change, by all coming together with these energies and positive vibration with the light of the full moon and shine it on the darkest places in our world and from the deepest place of our hearts and send a prayer for the greater good of all.

But first, go within oneself and find a place where you need to forgive and let yourself off the hook detox first so you can stand in a place of light with clear intentions and prayer for all who are in need of it right now.

Bring about kind thoughts, help someone who is in despair and a loss of hope. Let them know you are there to help reach out to one another and to those who feel they are very much alone. Finding the balance is the challenge of this full moon. Remember you are a divine being in a material world.

So I ask you all to share what? spiritual teachings, learnings would have brought you and others peace, love, joy, harmony, healing and balance?

What inspired you the most in your life that brought about change for the better and helped you and others in a time of despair, fear, and unbalances?

What prayer speaks to you the most?

Maybe it's time to forgive?

Have you learned from your experiences?

Most of all, what divine message really touches you right now that you can embody?

As you plant more seeds in your garden plant a seed in the world with the power of prayer and action, no matter how big or small it all make a difference. Let your soul guide you on this full moon in Virgo. So what is your prayer at this time? I leave you now to ponder on this and I would like to leave you with a prayer I would have sung many times in the choir.

Many blessings on this full moon as we all come together for peace, harmony, healing and balance love and light, Bernadette.

27th to 29th March 2021

... and the reason for the 3 dates is the moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Saturday morning through to Monday night and early into Tuesday morning.

This full moon is known for the Worm, Crow, Sap or Auger moon, the holy festival moon and it's also a super moon on the 28th March 2021.

Now it's right in the middle of spring equinox and Easter Sunday on the 4th April and it's in the star sign Libra. We had the spring equinox in Aries which happened on the 20th March and it's important to know Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and the beginning of the astrological year.

With all this in mind, at this time of full super moon, the 3rd of the year 2021, it really feels like new beginnings. Which brings me to the date 28th... and when you add 2 and 8 you get 10.

And take into account the meaning of numbers 1 and 0. It is known that the number one is the symbol of leadership, new beginning and success. The number means that you have to create your own reality, follow your beliefs and your intuition.

On the other side the number 0, which is related to universal energy and spiritual aspects of your own personality. Number 0 will help you achieve your spiritual enlightenment and help you use your inner strength and wisdom. Now to know the meaning of the number 1 and 0 it's not hard to realise what the number 10 actually means - new beginnings leadership, determination, confidence and independence. The number 10 is to remind you of your spiritual life and that you should listen to your intuition and let your angels guide you to your path.

So on this full moon, supermoon, in Libra the energies are extremely high and the vibration also and it's a good time to take the opportunity to start afresh.

It's a time of awakening, death and rebirth right in the middle of spring equinox and Easter Sunday.

Just like the worm has come out of the Earth, the flowers, the buds starting to grow, where they have been in a dark place are now coming into the light and on the eve of the full moon our clocks moved forward, which gives us an extra hour of daylight.

And next Sunday the 4th April in Easter Sunday. Christ will rise again and so do we on so many levels.

So on this super Full Moon I invite you to take the opportunity to start afresh. As I said do what feels right for you at this time, and that is listening to your intuition and guidance.

Events like the full moon, spring equinox, autumn equinox, winter and summer solstice, and other celebrations around the Celtic calendar, it's a great time to connect with not only the earth but the heavens and whatever that means for you personally.

On the full moon and new moons I like to leave out my crystals to be energized and cleansed along with my angel cards and some personal
items of my choice, so on this full supermoon crystal are you drawn to?

On this full moon I'm drawn to the amethyst crystal. This purple stone is said to be incredibly protective and healing. It is said to help with negative thoughts and brings forth humanity, serenity and spiritual wisdom. It helps with addictions and cleanses ones own energy field of negative influences and attachments. It creates a powerful shield of spiritual light around the body and acts as a barrier against lower energies, psychic attacks, geopathic stress and unhealthy environments. This is truly a very powerful crystal and one which I will be putting out for cleansing and working with on the super full moon.

As we approach the holy Easter weekend.. a time of new beginnings and rebirth, just like the full super moon is in the centre from the spring equinox to Easter Sunday, I invite you to bring your intention to your centre and what is that you would like to manifest in the coming weeks ahead. Or maybe you were just to keep your focus in this moment and time. As I said do whatever feels right for you we can only guide it to another and support each other at this moment in time.

Full Super moon blessings to you all and love, light and healing. Bernadette Mac

9th March 2020

Hey everybody, welcome to a little bit of moon magic.

March full moon will be a super moon and it's also called a Worm Moon on the 9th of March. Why is it called a Worm Moon?

Well it's the time of year that earthworms and grubs tend to emerge from the winter dormancy, making a sure sign of spring, yes, spring is in the air and there is a supermoon.

What does this mean for you at this time?

The moon will be brighter, things are starting to grow, emerging from the darkness and coming up into the light.

Are you emerging from a darkness or place of reflection, just like the worm? Coming out of your shell with confidence,new ideas, and looking forward. Maybe you have come to the end of the cycle just like the full moon?

As this full moon is a supermoon this month what is reflecting in your life at this moment?

Are you beginning to shine again, stepping out of your comfort zone just like the worm, the daffodils, the snowdrops? Emerging up from the darkness of the Earth? Yes, it's the Time to Shine. A time to step into your authentic self.

Have you taken up a new craft, a project or maybe an old craft that you put on the shelf and you are starting to do again from a different perspective?

There's an old saying that I remember my mother saying when somebody has gone through something really difficult and have come out the other side of.

There's a spring in her or his step... you can see it...

I love the old sayings like that to remind us things do pass.

Do, on this full super Worm Moon, allow yourself to shine.

Many blessings Bernadette Mac

21st March 2019

This is an old photo on the Hill of Tara, the moon over the church.

I was standing at St Patrick's statue as I took this on the 29th of November 2017.

The moon through the strings of a harp being played on Tara.

Full Moon is 21st March 2019 at 01.42

The moon has been hiding lately.

As we approach not only the third full moon of the year, on the 21st of March 2019, just before it is St Patrick's day, when celebrations are taking place in most parts of the world.

The full moon this time is known as the Full Worm moon.

The Old Famer's Almanac:

It's the year's third and final of three straight full supermoons and of course the Spring Equinox is around that time also...

3 events are going on which to me bring to mind the shamrock.

So pause for a moment and ask yourself,

What have I achieved this year so far?
Have I reached personal goals I set up for myself?
... let go of energies that no longer serve me?

As the evenings become brighter again, remember it's a great opportunity to start again.

There is nothing set in stone.

Each and everyone's journey is different, all going in the same direction with different experiences and stories to tell.

So on that note, may you have a blessed St Patrick's Day, Spring Equinox and full supermoon blessings.

Bernadette.

16th April 2022

Hi Everyone! welcome to some moon magic on this the full pink moon on the 16th of April 2022

This full moon is in Libra and not only in the middle of Easter but the month, also bringing you to the centre of the self...

and as the full moon is a pink one and in the middle of Easter brings me to the energy of love, forgiveness and compassion, death and rebirth.

Death is a time of letting go and trusting all is as it should be, even if it does not feel that way. To bring in the new we must let go and sometimes it feels so hard... like we say "that would be the death of me" and it is. Have you ever noticed the words we use in our life when we are faced with a challenge and change?

"Oh! that felt like the death of me", "I felt a part of me die", "something inside just died"

We do that without even realizing we are doing it. It just comes naturally

Death is a part of life. I noticed while out walking, where the daffodils were in full bloom were gone but in their place were dandelions. Nature has a beautiful way of showing us the circle of life and death. So on this full moon ask yourself some questions and again, these are just suggestions or maybe you would like to write your own on this full moon tonight.

What in my life do I need to let go of?

What belief system holding me back from moving forward?

How can I change this?

Using the energy of the light on this full moon, all the time, to pour light on each intention you want to let go of and trust.

Just like the dandelions replaced the daffodil is a good way of seeing that in order to bring about something new we must let go of the old and make room in our heart.

The dandelion is just as important as the daffodil. The dandelion has great healing properties and is often used as a detox in our bodies, in the liver and also to improve the immune system. So when you are out and about this weekend look around you and see the dandelion in nature. As it speaks to you, let go and trust.

I've also noticed the cherry blossom tree starting to grow and the colour pink just like the pink full moon. I thought to myself, "like the dandelion", which Nora reminded me represents the sun, the white seed head the moon and the seeds when you blow them off like stars. As a child and now I still do blow them and say "he loves me, loves me not, or she loves me, etc. etc." We counted the white seed until they have all blown away. One way of looking at death and rebirth through nature. It is a beautiful way of looking at it, a way we have come to accept without even realizing it.

Nature is the circle of life, so what has all this got to do with the full moon tonight?

As we are all connected to all there is, what goes on in nature and in our world affects us in some energetic way. The energy of the full moon is a great way to highlight our intentions as, at this time, we are more in tune and this full moon is in the centre of Easter on the eve of Easter Sunday a time where we open the egg and eat it in whatever way we celebrate it.

It feels that it's no coincidence the full pink moon falls in the centre, bringing with it love, compassion, and forgiveness. The egg being the new beginning and on it's heels Mayday, the first day of summer. Flowers bloom just like the cherry blossom blows it's seed and it looks like snow in summer, again nature showing us a time to grow and a time to let go.

So on this full moon tonight, as you let go of what no longer serves you, ask yourself these questions....

Where in my life do I need to forgive?

Where in my life can I bring in more love?

What do I need to do to have compassion for those who need it, without attachment ?

Again maybe you have your own question and intentions?

Set aside a time tonight for yourself... also be gentle with yourself on this full moon. Maybe go for a walk in nature or a place that brings much healing...

Decorate an egg? I remember doing this many times in the past for Easter. Boil an egg and set your intentions into it and decorate it with bright colours. You can eat it or bury it, the choice is yours. I was reminded of this last night by a Polish friend whose tradition is to do this every year and thought to share this today and it would be a good way to set your intentions tonight on this pink full moon.

Keywords for tonight's full moon:

letting go - letting go is part of moving on to something better.

death and rebirth - trusting all is as it should be, trusting in the process.

the power of love - "when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace". Jimi Hendrix .

forgiveness - "forgive is to set a prisoner free to discover the prisoner was you". Lewis B. Smedes.

compassion - "self-compassion is the proven power of being kind to yourself". Kristin Neff

Full moon blessings to all and a very happy Easter. May you rise in the energy and power of love, light and healing. Bernadette Mac.

7th April 2020

Hi Everyone, welcome to little bit of moonmagic and boy, there was some moonmagic!

Last night, the 7th of April 2020 on the full pink moon, I have never seen so many photos on social media. Each and everyone was so beautiful. There was a feeling of collectiveness and love last night through this event, as people are being asked at this time to stay in their homes and stay safe in this pandemic.

The world may be standing still at the moment for the human race. They all, however, are seeing Mother Nature's beauty, showing herself to all. Even some animals are coming out of the woods and walking the streets, like deer and fox. Sheep have been spotted on children's playground. It's like the animal kingdom has come out to play. It just warms the heart.

Now the full moon is pink and it being the colour of love, rose quartz. Mother Nature. Now everyone is seeing her beauty and wonder and this full pink moon is one we will always remember for sure.

Yes, a lot is going on around with the planets and astrology, with the full moon, if you search online. But I would like to keep it simple at this time.

As people stay home they are being more creative and together more than ever and getting to know their neighbours in this lockdown. Also chatting more on the phone, facetime and more. There are no planes in the sky and cars on the roads. Yes the earth has stood still.

For me I am using it as an opportunity to create and, being like many others, cleaning out my space, getting into the garden and apprecating my family and friends more and my space and Mother Nature around me and doing a lot more self healing.

There is a lot of learning and unlearning at this time, and being still and focus, and a massive letting go. So on this full pink moon embrace your gifts and creativity, send forth healing pink light to your beautiful planet and most of all peace.

May you all be blessed with love, light, and healing, Bernadette and remember...

This to shall pass...

19th April 2019

This is an old photo taken a few years back on St. Patrick's Day on the Hill of Tara.

As we approach the 4th full moon of 2019, on Friday the 19th of April at 12.12, in some traditions it is known as the pink full moon as it is almost that time of flowers in many colours which start to bloom.

Already the cherry blossoms are out in full bloom and so beautiful.

It is also Good Friday,a day for many of reflection on what it is we need to let go of, to forgive. Forgiving and letting go is very healing for us.

As it's a pink moon and there are many different stories around it that can really get us caught up in our heads, I invite you to bring the focus on our hearts today.

Visualise the colour pink. Hold your hand on your heart and think about someone or a situation you need to let go of and forgive... and breathe 3 breaths. In some cases some may find this hard to do.

Then I invite you to bring the focus on the self and forgive oneself, for in doing so you allow for love to come into your heart.

Give it time. Don't rush it. Just hold your hand on your heart and breathe.

This up and coming weekend is about letting go, acceptance, forgiveness, and rebirth... not to mention the Easter bunny or hare in some traditions, and Easter eggs, a symbol of new birth.

So this full moon is set around a very important event... and on this moon magic time, which is happening on 12.12 midday,

ask yourself what do I need to let go of,
what do I need to forgive,
maybe forgive the self,
bring love into my heart,
start new projects,
or simply fill my home with bright coloured flowers.

Whatever you do on this holy week and full pink moon, may you be blessed with love and light, and a happy full Easter pink moon.

Bernadette Mac

16th of May 2022

Hi everyone! welcome to a little bit of moon magic on the 16th of May 2022.

Otherwise known as the flower full moon and this month a blood full moon and it still feels to be quiet and slow down, sitting within and not going without.

Trust and have faith and believe in yourself. When you start to believe in yourself watch how things and situations change or look a whole lot different.

Be kind and gentle with yourself - learn to slow down and not have to rush from one thing to the next, thinking deeply about something instead of acting quickly.

Meditate, or go out into your garden or somewhere in nature and let the energies of this full moon just go on. Be like a wave, knowing it is there without getting too caught up in it. Be mindful as you go within and be gentle.

Look around you at the little things in life and how important they are. Maybe things we overlook and think they are not as important as big events - sometimes the little things in life have great power.

This brings me to a quote someone once said: ... power is hidden in the bushes...

So tonight just be in the moment. Once again be with the self and heal what needs healing in your life, in whatever way works best for you.

Look up at the moon if it is visible in the evening sky. If not know that it is there. As the flowers in the garden start to close down for the night, listen to the birds get ready to settle in for the night chirping away in the trees.

For there is great healing in that small few minutes to heal any issues or challenges you may be going through at this time. Llet the wave of healing wash over you from the light of the full flower blood moon and let the blood in your body flow with this healing.

Wishing you all much love and healing on this full moon as the energies are high and it is a time of transformation, just get ready to leave an old skin behind and let go of things that no longer serve you and know that something new and fresh can come in if you can only let go of the things that are no longer working for you in your world. When you do, so you will bloom, just like the flower on this full moon and this total eclipse. Be patient with yourself.

Unknown quote: patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Full moon blessings to you all Bernadette Mac

26th May 2021

Better late than never! as the saying goes...

Full super moon blessings to you all and still feeling the energy of it myself.

It's otherwise known as a flower moon. So which flower are you drawn to as this May month comes to an end?

Whether it be a flower in full bloom or dandelion in your garden. Something that I think is so beautiful to watch is a dandelion will open up and greet the sun and at night when the Moon comes out she closes in to go to sleep. There is so much we can learn not only from the sun, the moon and the stars, but from the the seeds with plants in a garden and the wildflowers especially.

And as I said before the full moon is a great opportunity to plant new seeds of life and what you would like to manifest. Full moon blessings to each and everyone of you.

Love, light and gratitude. Bernadette Mac

7th May 2020

This full moon is the 3rd super moon in a row and it's the last super moon of 2020. Full Moon in Taurus.

This full moon is known as the Flower full moon because of the abundance of blossoms that appear this time of year. It's also known as the Corn Planting moon, Milk moon.

The energies are very strong at this time of full moon. There is a lot going on in our world. Cocooning, social distancing, isolation, and yet there is a togetherness on another level. As the flowers begin to bloom it seems we go into a chrysalis phase, but in this phase we are not sleeping, we are creating, discovering, and doing a lot of inner deep work on the self. Just like the flower when it was a seed in the dark getting ready to grow and bloom, as too the butterfly in the chrysalis phase, it comes out into the world and spreads it wings and flies to the flower.

In this full moon tonight I invite you to look at the last few months and see what you have learned and unlearned. What gifts you have discovered. Ask yourselves, can I bring this to the world when this phase is all over?

Some may have made peace with the shadow self as it's a great opportunity to do so as we cannot have shadow without the light. It's finding the balance and the full moon is a good time to reflect and write down all one needs to let go of and start anew.

Some have have done so already with the events of the world today. Celebrate the light of the super Flower full moon and a just a few days after Beltane, Fire, Birth, Fertility.

Remember this tonight as we burn away what no longer serves us and give birth to new ideas. Emerge, fly, blossom and shine on this full moon.

Dance if you can.

Many many blessings on this May Full Super Flower Moon. Bernadette Mac

18th May 2019 at 22:11

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a little moon magic

on this month's full moon,

Saturday, May the 18th,

the 5th full moon of the year.

It is known as a Flower Full Moon,

a time for blossoming and spreading your wings and flying.

Step into your new ideas, goals and desires.

Up until now this year was a time for letting go and starting anew and this full moon is just the right time for doing so.

Ask yourself:

what am I still holding onto and need to let go of?
and what have I achieved so far?

Some might not feel they have been moving forward but we are always moving forward and renewing just like the flower.

So, pause for a moment...

take a deep breath and fly...

blossom and step forward...

Even if they are just small steps, small steps count. Many blessings to you all, Bernadette Mac.

Hi, Everyone full moon blessing to you all on the 14th of June 2022.

A super strawberry full moon in Sagittarius the photo was taken on the 12th of June 2022 at 10.30pm Sunday night.

As we come up to not only the full strawberry super full moon we also have the energy of the summer solstice the longest day of the year so a lot of strong energies going on at this time.

So what have you been feeling, seeing, hearing, tasting, or touching, at this time?

So let's start with your feelings - again these are just a few guidelines for you. Like many others I find it a great help to write down how I am feeling on a piece of paper on the full moon and what's going on for me, maybe you do that also ?

What have you been feeling over the last few weeks or since the new moon?

Have you noticed that you just need to have a quiet time of late and just be a feeling of been a little confused and not knowing what to do next ?

I know anyone I have spoken to have said that very thing, like a stop-gap and that sit with that feeling - don't try to force it jut let it be.

What have you been seeing around you?

Maybe the same message is coming up in conversations with people or on tv and radio, are you having a recurring dream that you just can't figure out? Sometimes our dreams are just a way of releasing old energies we are not able to do in our waking life. Trust in the process and maybe write it out to be burned on the night of the full moon.

Have you been seen the same numbers coming up on your phone, car reg or clocks? 222 333 444 and so on? Just don't try to get too caught up on that either, again trust all is well. Sometimes on a full moon when the energy is high it's good to do nothing at all. Again Trust in the process.

Now look at your diet. Are you eating the right food? Summertime is a good time to eat fresh healthy salads and fruits. How has your health been?

Have you been making time to step out in nature and be in the centre of your being and mother nature?

The full moon gives us the opportunity to reset a fresh new start and reconnect again to mother nature and get grounded. As the energies are much stronger at that time and we become more aware of ourselves and our surroundings we know this deep within. Each full moon being in a different sign or planet we can sometimes get too caught up in all the information which can keep us stuck not only in our head but in life.

So on the strawberry super full moon, just before the summer solstice, STOP drop anchor and pause for a moment and allow your soul to guide you to be the captain of your own ship.

In the words of Poet Willliam Ernest

I Am the master of my faith. I am the captain of my soul.

24th June 2021- Midsummer's Day

Hi Everyone, last night was a full strawberry full moon, unfortunately, it was very cloudy over the past few nights and the moon was not to be seen here but very much felt.

It was the first full moon just after the summer solstice and the energy was somewhat different this year. more freedom and space to do more things including getting out to places to celebrate the summer solstice and it was very much welcomed.

Over the past year a lot of people spoke to me about how they were taking the opportunity to go within as they stayed home and go on an inner journey to heal anything they were still carrying from the past. And some had dreams of things they thought they had healed and felt they were going backwards but this was not the case as it also happened to me.

When I went to look at this I found so many in the same boat so to speak, full of emotions of the past, so with a lot of souls searching and speaking to many we discovered it was meant to be, as it was some karmic stuff being dealt with in our dream state, to help us let go of what no longer serves us.

And even in the waking hours we were faced with challenges of the past which I was told was to clear the way for a new way of living in the future. And in the present moment we have learned not only in the past year to live one day at a time but learned what is important to us and to have gratitude for what we already have in our lives.

So still in the energy of the full moon, strawberry and the summer solstice, I invite you to sit quietly in a place of nature and just look around you and see the beauty of mother nature as you have seen it over the past year and to look deep within and feel how family and health was more important than things and what others thought of you.

As we embark on a new journey don't lose sight of the learning of healing inner wounds and the beauty of nature and family and friends time.

Celebrate life in a new way. just like the moon over the past few nights was not seen here in the sky but we knew deep in our hearts it was there... just like the past year we could not see family and friends and go to places we loved but deep inside we knew they were there and looked forward to seeing them again.

And for the ones who passed, they were very much there in our dreams at night or a song, flower or smell to remind us we are never really alone. they may be out of sight but not out of mind.

So I invite you to set up a space in your home or out in your garden, whatever is more convenient for you, with a rose quartz crystal and a flower of your choice and sit quietly and tune into that inner voice within you and listen as you bring your hands To Your Heart and fill them with love and healing from your heart chakra

- and send healing to all those who need it in our world, to our family and friends, mother nature and the animal kingdom for the highest good of all.

As the sun starts to move and the moon phases change once again so do our selves.

Give thanks for the healing and the opportunity to have the space to do so, never losing sight that we can do this more often now with a better understanding.

Love, light and gratitude in our hearts, many blessings to each and everyone of you, Bernadette

5th June 2020 at 20:12

Hi everyone! welcome to a little bit of moon magic and last night the moon was very magical. It was a Strawberry Full Moon on the 5th of June 2020

This full moon, the 6th of the year, was no ordinary full moon. Traditionally coinciding with the wild strawberry season and also in the star sign Sagittarius.

Now some of you may be experiencing high emotions over the past few weeks or may have noticed others been very emotional.

There has been a mix of emotional feelings, like anger for one, in our world, maybe even yourself, in these time of lockdown and being at home clearing out your space. That can also bring about a lot of emotions as we clear out our space and find things that bring up some memories, good and bad.

I have noticed it in my own life as I clear out my space. How certain things affect us even like the sudden change in the weather, going from hot to cold, as we are all connected to the world and each other. Some may be experiencing some peace and healing and looking at their own issues at home and taking this opportunity to just be with the self and heal.

I feel there is a huge transformation going on in everyone and the planet and because we are all in this together we surely do feel it. On the good side of all that, we are noticing birds singing, a bee on a flower, the wildflower as well as the garden flower, butterflies even dragonflies by the river. I've seen them myself on one of my walks.

There are more posts on social meda of people creating things in their homes and garden, upcyling and transforming the old into new, without realizing it is happening within also, and looking at the full moon and sunsets that they never done before and noticing our beautiful planet and taking walks in nature. It is a good way to heal all the emotional feelings, and send good vibes to our world and the anger that is going on in some parts of the world.

So on this Strawberry Full Moon it's important during the days surrounding the full moon that we try our best not to act impulsively.

The moon is also squaring master of illusion Neptune, making us extremely emotonal and sensitive as well as vulnerable to deception. That doesn"t mean we do nothing. Still it may be smart to take time to think through how we can best be useful and how to channel our frustrations and discomforts most effectively right now. Some by praying to send healing and good thoughts, compassion. If enough people send light to the ones who are in the dark times, in the hopes that it will help.

So on this full Strawberry Moon pause for a moment, put your hand to your heart and ask yourself, how am I feeling right now? what emotion is stirring up in me right now? Is it love, joy, gratitude sadness, frustration or anger? Only you will know.

Then ask yourself, how can I turn this around? If it's anger, frustration, sadness even fear, turn to love, joy, gratitude and abundance, and most of all peace in my heart. Then focus when you feel that love and send it in a ball of light from the light of the moon to our world, and just let go.

So on this Strawberry Full Moon, let us feel love even if it's just for a moment, hold it in your hand from your heart and send blessings,

Blessings to you all, Bernadette Mac

17th June 2019

As we approach the full moon on the 17th June 2019, this Monday, which is a Strawberry Full Moon and also Father's Day on Sunday - honouring the father energy, the male side of us all - have you been putting things off, new ideas and projects, over the past few months?

As we come now to the 6th full moon of the year, the 6th charka, your inner knowing, speaking your truth and getting things done, you are tapping into the male side of the self.

On this Strawberry Full Moon, being the colour red of the base chakra, dig deep down to the base again bring it up to the 6th and speak your truth and get things done, keeping promises to the self.

We are also coming upto the Summer Solstice at this time - the longest day of the year.

A time of gathering together and giving thanks to what we have in our life, to the hardwork that goes into the land by both men and women who work to put food on our table. Sometimes we lose sight of that and need reminding from time to time.

Some of you may have noticed the moon has been hiding a lot behind the clouds this summer but deep within we know it's there, just like deep within yourself you know your purpose and your dreams and goals, new projects and change.

So on this full Strawberry Moon, Father's Day, Summer Solstice, ask yourself

“Am I keeping my promise to myself, speaking my truth, getting things done???”

Maybe on a deep level we are and cannot see it. Just like the moon behind the clouds, we know it's there, that deep knowing.

Full Moon blessings, Bernadette Mac.

24th July 2021

What are you most proud of?

For this full moon is there anything that you would like to release that no longer serve you?

In what area in your life do you notice the most self criticism?

And the least self criticism?

What is in your life that needs more healing and letting go of?

For this full moon is there anything that you would like to start afresh?

It is good to write down your own questions and your dreams and goals and what you would like to attract in your life on this full moon. Using the energy of the full moon is a great opportunity to set good intentions and starting over just like the new moon and, as we come up to the energy of Lughnasad, the beginning of the harvest season on the 1st of August, number one, new beguinnings.

With all of that said I leave you with this quote:

be gentle with yourself because life is about the journey, not the destination

Full moon blessings to you all love, light, and healing.

Thanks to Marta for sharing Full Moon at Santorini, Greece.

5th July 2020

Hi everyone, welcome to some moon magic on the 5th of July 2020. It's the Buck Full Moon and a lunar eclipse.

The moon is in Capricorn this month, the 7th full moon of the year, so what does it mean for you this full moon?

Well, some would say it is very good for starting new projects, creating something new. Maybe, after all the strange times we have been having in the past few months, you have come to realise you need a career change, maybe a creative side of you has emerged you thought you never had and you would like to pursue that?

On the outside world, people have been awaking and standing up and speaking out and saying enough is enough and coming together and speaking out and it can draw you very much away from your inner self. So focus on the positive. Look at what you have created of late. It has helped many to work on the spiritual side of themselves.

Maybe you have been 'not doing' for a long time. We have been turning inwards, our cave to create, and yet so very hard for others to be locked down.

We have had so many Eclipses this year. We have 6 and 3 so far, that is a lot of them. So the veil is thinner. We can tune into information much better. So think on a more positive thought. Raise your vibration. It is a very intense time. Some of you may feel like you are passing through an eye of a needle, but stick with it. Whatever you are focusing on will magnify even more. So pay attention on your thoughts and how you are feeling

Stay as positive as you can and shine a light. Take time out on this full moon and sit silently and see how far you have come over the past 5 months.

What changes have I made in my life?

What creative side did I discover?

As we have just had the 4th of July, have I become more independent?

For some, we reconnected with old friends we have not seen or heard from in years as we let far too much time pass by not getting in touch. Now we are coming together again and starting a new friendship on a different level.

Also pay attention to your dreams this full moon. What are they telling you? As it's the deep conscious of your soul.

A lot is going on this full moon, balance, completion, seeing things through. Whatever you are working on in your life this full moon and Eclipse is going to illuminate this for you, so you can work it through.

So, again, do it with a positive thought and attitude. If you have to close the door go within and do it alone then do so. Take that time for yourself and take that space, it is very important to do what is best for you.

This seems to be the energy on this Buck Full Moon with the Eclipse, so go with it.

Take care people on this full moon. Many blessings, Bernadette Mac

16th July 2019

Hi everyone! Welcome to a bit of moon magic on 16th July 2019.

These photos were taken on Sunday 14th July 2019

The full moon this month has many names.

Buck Moon, named after new antlers that emerge from a buck's forehead around this time of year. It's also called the Thunder Moon, Hay Moon and Wort Moon.

So I ask you to reflect on all the other full moons up till now, this being the 7th full moon of the year.

What changes have you made in your life?

Maybe the road you set off on took a different route.

Have you, like the buck, emerged with your goals and desires?

Have you grown?

These are questions only you can answer.

Thunder Moon - are there things you still need to let go of?

Hay Moon - are you getting out in nature? maybe you are getting out in the fields and preparing for the autumn months ahead?

Wort full moon meaning to plant. Are you harvesting something you have planted over the past few month, whether it be on the land or personal?

Again only you can answer these questions.

As we come into a season change, are you noticing the evening drawing in each day?

The days are getting shorter.

It is a time to get ready for the coming months ahead, gathering food and herbs from the land.

It is a time of abundance, emerging, preparing and gratitude.

Many blessings on this full Buck moon.

A full moon in Aquarius. A gentle time of reflecting....

So here is a piece from the book Anam Cara Spiritual Wisdom from the Celtic World by John o' Donoghue

A blessing of Solitude:

May you recognise in your life the presence, power and light of your soul.

May you realise that you are never alone, that your soul in it's brightness and belonging connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe

May you have respect for your own individuality and difference.

May may you realise that the shape of your own soul is unique and that you have a special destiny here.

But behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, good and eternal happening

May you learn to see yourself with the same daylight, pride and expectation with which God's sees you in every moment.

Blessings to you all on this full moon, Bernadette

3rd August 2020

Hi everyone, welcome to a little bit of moon magic on the 3rd of August 2020, and the moon is in Aquarius.

The energy this month is about everyone coming together to help one another. This time around it is not about you, it's about helping others. It'a a time to use your energy to light up others, use your light and energy, pull up your sleeves and help. Actions speak louder than words.

There is so much you can do to help people who need it right now. Maybe you see yourself in them, when you were going through a life-changing time and you got through it, whether it was moving house, new job, starting your own business, or leaving a relationship or starting a new one.

Is there someone you know at this moment in time that could do with a helping hand and your knowledge and experience? You're not telling anyone how to live their life but you are helping them by showing them how you worked through your fears and got out the other side of it. And the rest is up to them. It's also a time of realization that maybe that job was not for you.

As we are coimg into the Leo fire sign it's a time to really get things done. There is a lot of spiritual energy around at this time, especially over the past few months or more. More and more people have been connecting to nature and seeing what really has value in there lives and connecting to a higher power or vibration. So this full moon is saying connect to the higher self, nature, meditation. This really gives your life meaning rather than going out shopping to make yourself feel good - it's just a temporary fix and people have come to see this during the time of change in our world over the past 6 months.

So today, on this full moon, its about helping others if you are in that position. Remember helping others is also helping the self, and you are learning all the time. and do it unselfishly.

As we come up also to the energy of Lughnasadh give thanks to all the hard work for the food we grow in our fields as we get ready for the autium. Already the evenings are drawing in and there is a nip in the air at night. Some have already lit their fires in the home and there is a dampness as the sunsets at an earlier time in the evening. It's a time to stock up on the food, fire wood. As we celebrate the harvest there is also a sense of getting ready for the autumn time ahead.

So on this full moon, key words -

reach out and help others,

give thanks for all you have in your life today and what you have acheived,

take risks,

connect to spiritual evnergy by connection with like minded people,

be a service to others without expectations,

and most of all be kind,

stay connected and safe.

Blessings to you all on this full moon. May the fire in your soul bring you much healing. Bernadette Mac.

15th August 2019

Hi Everyone to a bit of moon magic on this months full moon.

New moon in Leo, full moon in Aquarius, there are sure a lot of energies going on this month!

August 15th 2019 - without getting too lost in so many different meanings I invite you to feel it with your heart, your intuition, use your chakras to tune into your body on this full moon, remembering we all have the answers within.

I would like to share some stories that I have come across with people sharing this month's full moon and also the new moon in Leo, what I picked up by their experience in which I could relate to, and of course the new and full moons we have been tuning into up to now.

Up to now we all have been setting goals, dreams and desires and letting go.

Making new plans in the New Year our first full moon, and with each new and full moon, we got the chance to start over again with plans we made for our life, maybe a new job, move to a new house, go on a trip, or step into your own power.

Have you been putting off being a healer, work in holistic therapies, art and craft, music, dance, write a book?

I have come across people who shared that this full moon has brought change into their life, something they were working on a few years back and never gave up and now it happened.

Others are being forced or led to change that can be uncomfortable. Go with it, also letting go of the past. Heal it and move on and let go, and watch the time speed up making changes and stepping into the new.

So I invite you to say :

All is well in my world

I embrace change knowing everything is working out for me

I have a support network of like minded souls, in more ways than one, looking out for me

See change as a new adventure. There is much abundance, celebrate it.

Time to plant that seed.

So, from the heart, plant that seed with love, peace and healing.

Many blessings on this August full moon 2019. BernadetteMac

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I posted anything about the new and full moon, so was very much guided to write a little piece today the 12th of Sept 2022.

Over the past few months, it has come to my attention that so many have been and are still doing a lot of inner work and are in a very quiet space including myself and very much have been guided to be still in the self ... however, still living life and going about daily chores work, whether it is in or out of the home the inner work was and still is very important and the energy is strong at this time not only around the new and full moon but also in the in-between, The moon phases really highlighted all the inner work and healing.

I have spoken to many who have said to me that they felt not only the strong vibration on the moon phase but the in-between time also, and how old patterns and feelings came to light. But having said that they were in a much better space in life to deal with it and heal it. Being in nature and just being an observer over the last few months has been very much needed for each person I had spoken to it is like we are getting ready to be in a much better place within ourselves.

On this Sept full harvest moon, we give thanks for all we have in our lives as we start a new season of going into the dark nights and on the foot of the autumn equinox which arrives on Thursday the 22nd of Sept 2022. A time of change on so many levels. Which begs the question -

Are you ready for the changes in your life ? Is there something in your life that needs to change? Are there some things in which you have not let go of and why ?

Again these are just suggestions.

Take as much time as you need to heal and let go as it's the time of year to do so. Just look at nature as the leaves fall and the swallows get ready to go on their big journey to return again in early summer like a rebirth.

If we all look at nature and go deep into our hearts nothing is never really gone. I don't know why but the Queen of England just popped into my head as I wrote this and when I think of her I think of how she spent so many years on this earth wearing a crown from a very young age and today her family say goodbye and know she will always be in their hearts and never forgotten.

So look deep within your hearts and find that inner queen or king and wear that crown because we all have it and we don't need to sit in a castle, we can just simply be that in our own homes and soul.

I know it's a couple of days after the full harvest moon but I do feel we are very much still in the energy of it . Find that queen and king within, or even a knight, and heal. Lift your vibration to a level of divine love, know global energies lower vibration, events can rattle our cage. But maybe it's meant to, so we can rise above that and remember who you truly are and why you are here.

It's also come to my attention that rainbows are being seen and photographed as they are spotted relating to the queen. How wonderful is that? what does a rainbow mean to you?

So on this harvest moon, I wish you many blessings and healing, abundance, love, peace and happiness. Bernadette Mac

20th September 2021

Full Harvest Moon. I felt the full moon was one of solitude and reflection. A time of

just been still and checking in with how you are and been gentle with oneself.

As I spoke to some friends I became aware of their need to be alone and step back on this full moon including myself. With a strong feeling of HOPE.

Looking at where one is at on their journey and going deep within as the full moon is in Pisces, the fish, swimming in different directions and yet a great sense of balance.

Also embarking on a new way of living and also a realization of much gratitude for what we have learned over the past year or so.

And on this full moon we also had the autumn equinox a time of letting go, just as the leaves on the trees do. The harvest, and the equal of day and night as we go into the long evenings and early sunsets we change along with nature... and nature, bing our greatest teacher, so I would like to wish you all full moon blessings on this autumn equinox and may your dreamtime be one of love , healing, harmony, and balance.

Love and light, Bernadette mac

2nd September 2020

Hi Everyone, welcome to a bit of moon magic. Full moon 2nd of September 2020 - also known as the Corn Moon and is in Pisces.

Harvest full moon. Last year I wrote of back to school. Work. New projects etc, etc, etc.

But this year the 9th full moon of the year is one with a difference.

Yes back to school, work, and so on but with many changes and a new way of living like never before.

Yesterday, the first of September, I took my granddaughter for a walk and we both saw a caterpillar on the path. I said "wow" and she repeated "wow" as we watched him/her cross the path into the grass.

I have not seen one since I was a little girl and thought how wonderful and thought as we are going through so many changes on our planet and learning to adapt to those changes maybe we will start to notice things we had never seen before or have never seen them in a long time, like the caterpillar.

It took me back to a place of magic and wonder as I'm sure it did the same for my granddaughter as she was struck by 'ahh' as she watched this strange creature crawling along the path but very beautiful.

There's also a lot of emotional stuff going on at the moment, outer, inner, in the world and in our own personal lives. A lot different from last year's full moon.

As I wrote last year, it's a time for transformation and moving forward and some may feel like just being alone. Take time out for the self so you can connect to your inner power, sort of like the Hermit.

Maybe like the caterpillar we need to do more of the same again.

Go deep within your cocoon, keeping your family and friends safe at this time of more movement.

The energy around the full moon is different for everybody and we must respect each and everyone's space at this time.

There is also a sense of freedom to transform and spread your wings and fly, just like the caterpillar that eventually becomes a butterfly. I feel at this time that nature and the animal kingdom have a lovely way of mirroring what's going on for us and on the planet.

Spirit keeper of the North.

I pulled a card today to see what comes up and this one did - Card meaning - take time out for contemplation, turn within, connect with your ancestors. Incubate ideas, mend relationships.

Watch your dreams. Meditate.

The answers are inside you, waiting to

be heard. Stay warm.

Create dreams for your future.

Repair whatever is

broken in your home and in your life. Forgive those people and

situations you've been dragging around for a while.

A time to let go.

As the moon is in Pisces it can be a very emotional time for some as it's a water sign, a time for letting go and moving forward gently. Now the evenings are getting darker and the leaves are starting to fall it is a perfect time for letting go.

I feel on this full moon to be extra gentle with yourselves.

Listen to your body and your soul. Rest when you need to and go gently with the energy of the full moon tonight.

It's important to take care of oneself and not get caught up in all the activity and energies that's going on in the outside world on the moment.

Take a deep breath In bringing yourself to this moment and time each time you feel yourselfdrift away to this, that or the other, bring the focus to your breath, to the self.

On this full moon, many blessings to you all. Bernadette Mac

14th September 2019

Take a deep breath and relax...

Hi all. Welcome to the 14th September full moon.

The full moon this month is a harvest moon and the moon is in Pisces this time round.

It is a time of Transformation and moving froward and some will feel like just being alone, to take time out for the self, so you can connect to your inner being or higher power, sort of like the hermit.

As the new moon was a best one getting things done and back to school and work etc, etc, now it time for rest as we get ready to transform forward.

Some take a holiday this time of year rather than the summer to prepare for the dark evening drawing in. Its also coming up on the Autumn equinox bringing in balance...

So I invite you to take a breath and bring the focus to the breath, as you breath in 3 times deeply and exhale all the time feeling grounded and connected to the self.

Allow your body to relax and just be in the moment, whether you are out in nature or just by on open fire, relax, take time out as we get ready to move forward.

Many blessings to you all, Bernadette Mac

9th October 2022

Tonight, on this Hunter's full moon,

a time of the year for letting go,

of change and

preparing for the winter days and nights ahead.

Light a candle and hold the space for the collective,

for those close to your heart, and say a prayer if you wish.

Full moon blessings to all tonight as you set your intentions of dreams goals and desires.

20th October 2021

Full blood moon in Aries.

Last night's full moon... and how do you feel around it and what to expect?

It's a very strong full moon this month as we come up to

Samhain and the Winter Solstice to follow. But first this month's full

moon was very much felt a week before as things began to surface.

For some, it was emotional, others physical, feeling it in the body, mind and soul. A shift of energy for the better as the full moons can bring things to a head.

Maybe things that have been swept under the carpet. Things that need to be aired and need to be seen ?

Some may have been working with the shadow self and it is a perfect time to do so.

A time to dust things off.

As we are still in this energy of this full moon, the hunter's moon and blood moon, look at what patterns we are still doing ?

The full moon is a great opportunity to let go and bring healing and change into our lives, we deal with old ways of habits we don't want anymore.

As the moon is a blood moon the colour red brings me to the base chakra, the root. It is about grounding yourself as we work through whatever is needed around this full moon. Maybe wear the colour red or put it around your home, place of work. It will help not only with grounding but healing in your space and surrounding area. Light a red candle but most of all listen to your gut, your inner voice and guidance. Take time to press the pause button in your life and wait and find balance, stay strong, and staying in your personal space and also remember to do the same for others.

Take this time to ask:

Do I feel compassionate ?

Do I feel alive?

Is my fire burning?

How can I illuminate my fire?

Maybe I need to light my candle from someones else's candle or maybe they need to get a light from mine .... whichever helps and supports all involved. Do so as we all need to support each other at this time in our world.

As it's a time of Samhain on this full moon, I invite you to light your candle of your soul brighter, support each other, so all who need it will see our light and we can illuminate the way, so others can follow but not attach themself to you or you . As I said, respect each others space and journey, but yet have the feeling of support both ways.

So on this full moon, wear bright colours, light your candle as we set our intentions for the coming week ahead as I feel the energy of this full moon is lingering on into the end of next week and the work we do around it as we come into Samain and All Souls night.

A time to shine brighter as we wear the mask of disguise so loved ones can find their way.

There is change going on in our world and the next, on so many levels. Stay grounded, stay focused.

Healing love and light to each and every one of you on this full moon. May you all be blessed with healing and the magic of all there is at this time of year. Bernadette Mac

1st October 2020

Hi everyone and welcome to this month's full moon in Aries.

A lot is going on this month, on the full moon, so again I like to keep it simple.

Of the information that sits with me is the light of the full moon this month in Aries and how not only high energy but the light of the moon being so so bight, some are saying it is 3D and I can surly feel that for sure.

As it's just after the autumn equinox and the first of October it is for sure settling into the autumn.

I am drawn to the first chakra on this month's full moon and the energy of fire, getting things done, shooting from the hip so to speak, moving forward, action, rebel, movment, speaking up for the self and others.

It is a time of less talk and more action, just like the base chakra, Aries is the first fire sign in the zodiac, the colour of Aries is red, it is the cardinal sign of fire.

The fire energy is very high on this month's full moon along with the brightness too and do believe we had the Northern Lights in our skies. Some of us were lucky to see them. They remind me of rainbows and the seven chakras.

As I mention the base chakra and it being the colour red, fire, I can't help but feel the need to clear all chakras on this full moon starting with Aries, the base, otherwise known as ram.

I do believe there is a chant we can sing up from the base to the head to clear chakras maybe some might try this, this full moon. It's not only good to clear the space around you but also within the body, working with the chakras. What a perfect time to do this on the full moon in Aries, the first fire sign, and the harvest full moon, bringing the divine light into our bodies and surrounding areas, for the higher good of all.

It would sure do no harm to give it a try on this full Aries moon and the coming days, as soon we will be coming to Samhain, Saturday 31st of October and ends on the evening of November the 1st. Again the number one. In the start, getting down the the root of things, healing the past, present and sending divine light into the future.

I find the new and full moon a great time to reboot, so on this full moon I invite you to chant, clear your chakras and reboot and it's a perfect time with ARIES, HARVEST, and DIVINE LIGHT, up to Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, celebration bonfires.

May you all be blessed with divine light and love, and lots of moon magic. Bernadette Mac

13th October 2019

Be silent, for silence is golden, for there is great magic there.

On this Full Moon, October the 13th 2019,

the Hunters Full Moon,

lets just keep it simple by bringing healing to yourselves,

so we can bring healing to others.

Connect to the heart rather than the head and just be in the moment.

Be silent, for silence is golden,

for there is great magic there.

Blessings, Bernadette Mac

8th November 2022

Hi everyone! Full moon blessings on this lunar eclipse in Taurus on 8/11/2022 and also known as the blood moon.

And a very powerful full moon indeed and very much been felt over the past few days. Since Samhain, there has been a sense to be still and at the same time be ready for new energy coming in with this strong lunar eclipse. Full moon, a blood moon, which linked up with what I am being guided to write about at this time and a feeling of CHANGE on all levels.

As we have just celebrated Samhain, remembering our loved ones and the ancestors, it is time now to bring in the wisdom deep within from all we have learned and changed in our own lives and the wisdom, knowledge, skills, love, and healing we have inherited from all those who have walked the path before us... and bring about that CHANGE in whatever way we can so we too can pass that on to our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who walk the path behind us. Which brings me to the bloodline. And on this full moon how we can tap into that bloodline and not only bring about change but healing.

But first, we must look at the shadow self. Its so important to heal that side of ourselves so we can show others who are in the dark the way, not only our bloodline but all who need it, and tonight, on the full moon, is the perfect time to do so.

As the full moon lights up the dark sky we can reflect that cosmic energy into our own lives and one very important thing on this full moon is not to give yourself a hard time for past mistakes or regrets. What's done is done we can't change it but we can do something about it here and now. Everything you went through brought you to the place you are in right now, so congratulate yourself.

We learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we have to make mistakes over and over again to get them and not repeat them. I have no idea why I am been guided to write this but very much feel it to be said maybe someone needs to hear this. Maybe I do. Smiling to myself 😊

(in picture below the dark line is a telephone wire)

So on this full moon,

as you create your safe space and set your intentions,

ask yourselves the question....

What direction is life calling me right now?
What is that sense of purpose deep within our hearts?
What old beliefs and patterns do I need to let go of and heal so I can move forward?

Start living your life more connected with yourself and bring in the wisdom, knowledge, and healing love so you can project that to the world.
look deep within and see how much you have achieved and changed and accept that everything is happening for the highest good.
be grateful for all the lessons and blessings and trust.
slow down and rest, its okay to stop, sleep and rest in the slowing there is growth.
let go of the need to control .
allow positive change to happen and be aware of the thoughts that block you and just know you are okay.
let more love in open your heart and know it is OKAY

So on this full lunar eclipse, full blood moon, be gentle with yourself and do less of what drains your energy and more of what lifts you to fill your cups and tap into that inner fire and passion as you change and become the new you. Be kind towards yourself. You are beautiful. And most of all focus on your purpose. Do something that lifts your soul - sing, dancing, painting, creating, dancing in the rain, jumping in that puddle, getting out in nature

In the words of Rumi...
What you seek is seeking you. In the silence of love, you will find a spark of life.
Lose yourself, lose yourself in this love. And when you lose yourself in this love you will find everything.

Love light and blessings to you all.

19th November 2021

Hi everyone! Welcome to some moon magic on the 18 and 19th of November, and this full moon is known as a Beaver moon and Eclipse in Taurus.

So what can this mean for you?

At this time the 2nd last full moon of this year and it is a very strong and powerful full moon. Having said that, with the research I've done around this full moon, all are saying one thing that stood out - get grounded. Go to the woods and ground yourself in the energy of the earth and trees. Allow the energy of mother earth to hold the space for you and be still. Go within rather that without on this full moon, as it is a time of inner work and reflection.

As for some there had been triggers in unfinished business and trauma there seems to be a lot of shadow work going on at the moment for so many people. Be gentle with yourselves. Like the beaver, as we are in the same rythmn as nature and all in mother earth, and remember to be gentle with yourselves if you are working with the shadow.

Ad as I write this I have to add shadow work is not a negative thing. It's very powerful work if done in a safe and gentle way by someone holding the space for you and you doing the same for them, so that we can all heal and shine our light even brighter in the coming months.

Yes

there is a shift and a change in our world at the moment, and what can

you do to help others and yourself to find balance at this time?

Go within listen to your heart and be gentle with yourself?

Meditate, ground yourself, go to a yoga class or go for a walk in nature in the woods or by a river or stream?

If you are spending time indoors do something to nurture the body mind and soul by listening to gentle music, salt baths or reading an uplifting book.

maybe you like to cook or get creative at this time of year?

Find grounding in a way that is comfortable for you?

If you are exploring shadow work ask why are you have been triggered talk to a friend you trust about this or a spiritual healer or counsellor if this is so for you?

And ask is there anything you have been called to release during this full moon?

So on this full moon be gentle with yourselves and others. Take time to be in nature and let the light that is all around us in nature lift and heal your soul. As this is a very powerful full moon and the energy is very strong pulling back like the beaver, be still, be in the moment, and be in love and light and healing full moon blessings to all Bernadette Mac

30th November 2020

Hi everyone! Welcome to Gemini Lunar Full Moon Eclipse on the 30th of November 2020.

Gemini is the messenger, so a lot of messages coming in for some people at this time. On a deep level a lot of people are feeling the strong energy of this month's full moon - the 2nd last one of the year...

and it sure feels like this full moon is bringing things coming to an end...

but not in the way we want, but in a subtle way... and it's also about TRUTH, and being true to yourselves.

As they say "the truth will set you free" .

Speak your truth.

Stand in your own power.

Listen to the voice deep inside as this is not only your intuition it's your guidance from your Angel, Guides, Higher power, and so on, whomever you talk to or pray to for guidance.

As we sit in silence on this full moon ask yourself:

what now can I let go of that is not serving me, as I go into the birthing with this full moon?

If the feeling of being stuck over the past few months is not lifting with this powerful full moon let the light of the full moon lift your soul to shine. Notice how you feel. Get into your feeling rather than thinking .... and feel love, freedom, gratitude, truth, and communication and healing, and a new way of living.

It's time to ask what new way can I express myself?

Am I in my head too much?

Are my thoughts ones of love or fears?

Now it's a great opportunity, on this full moon, to reset the button so to speak and watch your world change as you not only change your thinking but focusing on your feelings at this time...

feelings of love, freedom, gratitude, truth and communication and healing, wisdom and your true identity and connection to source.

Become the observer. Get out in nature, feel your feet firmly on the ground as you decide what thoughts you need to turn off.

Are they thoughts of others or mine or a mixture of both?

Use this time and space to let them go. The more space you create the more you experience less noise and more poise,

You will sense when to act and when to stay still at this time.

Meditate. Take a breath. Gemini is an air sign, so it's about the breath. So breathing is about taking in air and releasing air. Take a breath tonight as you do your ritual on the full moon and create that sacred space. Set your intention and don't let your thoughts run on automatic. If you feel it happen then take a breath and breathe it out.

We cannot not stop that thinking but we can see it... know it's there and decide to let it go.

Meditation tonight is the key and to reset.

When you go out in nature notice the seasons changing, the birds singing, even the dark evenings bring a certain kind of light.

The light of the moon, stars, that gives us connection to the universe, to source, to our guides and higher power as well as below, nature, birds singing, leaves falling, sunsets and sunrise.

So set that space tonight that we need to create to move forward, in this time of birthing, and a shift going on as well. It will also give you a bird's eye view of not allowing thoughts to run your life and come into your own power and shine.

As you do this tonight remember to also make it a daily practice. Little by little you will begin to notice the shift as you do this. The inner world changes and so too the outer ..

so key words are,

love, freedom, gratitude, truth, COMMUNICATION and HEALING, new way of thinking and feeling, wisdom, true Identity and connection to source.

So on this Gemini Lunar Full Moon the 30th of November I wish you many blessings and ....

May the Truth Set You Free.

Love light to you all and i wish you all the best for the highest good. Bernadette Mac.

Preparation

Written early morning, Saturday 28th November 2020.

Hi everyone, welcome to a little bit of moon magic.

I felt guided to write a piece as we approach this very powerful full moon. It is a lunar Eclipse and in Gemini on the 30th of November also known as a Cold and Beaver full moon.

I invite you, over the next few days, as we come up to this full moon, 3 days from now, to prepare for a birthing of new. The energy of this full moon is about moving forward. Getting this done, some of you may have been feeling stuck and asking the question:

who am I?

why am I here?

how can I make a difference?

Write down what it is you would like to manifest in your life.

Not only is this a very powerful full moon but the Winter Solstice and Christmas is also getting close.

Another way of setting intentions is to paint a picture, make a memory board, get creative.

As I was out walking late this evening, as the moon was coming out, the fog began to rise. I noticed some kids coming home from secondary school. Most of them were wearing masks. I thought to myself is this the new norm in which the whole world is in this together? Again, all in the same boats, and I wondered did anyone ask that question...

Is this the new norm? each and everyone is looking out for each other staying safe and been mindful.

It's very easy to get disconnected.

New moons and full moons are a great way of getting back on track, as well as meditation and being out in nature. So be mindful of this full moon coming up over the next few days.

The 30th feels like the end of the energy that has been unsettled and confusing for some and a feeling of being stuck and asking inner questions of the self and your journey.

Lots of healing is very much needed as we come to the full moon on Monday. Be gentle with yourself looking forward to the Winter Solstice, Christmas and of course the New Year.

So, see how you feel over the next few days and if there are still issues you need to let go of.

I feel in my life, over the past few weeks and days, a birthing is coming on the 30th. So I will write some more on the night of the full moon.

A lot can change in a moment. Be kind to yourself and others.

Until Monday, blessings and healing to you all. Bernadette Mac

12th November 2019

Hi Everyone, Welcome to a little bit of Moon Magic on this Full Moon the 12th of November the Beaver Full Moon, and the Full Moon is in Taurus, a time of release and let go in preparation for the coming month ahead.

Are there still some old issues you need to let go of ???

This Full Moon is a great opportunity for doing just that.

On the last Full Moon, on October the 13th, I posted to just keep it simple, connect to the heart and quiet the mind.

This Full Moon I invite you to do the same as the Full Moon is a busy one, as the moon is in Taurus together with the Beaver, both being an animal to get things done and both very grounding.

Are there things you know you need to get done?

Do you feel you're going 10 steps forward only to go 20 back?

Not to worry, for there is great learning and realising at this time.

Again keep it in the moment or the day.

Sometimes things happen for a reason when we feel like this and don't see the woods for the trees, only to know in the end, when we look back, it was all meant to be.

This is a time of old relationships to be healed. Forgive others so we can move on... and set healthy boundaries and also be gentle with the self.

Last year was the first Full Moon Magic I posted for Tara Celebrations and it was a Beaver Full Moon on the 23rd of November and it fell on Thanksgiving Day.

Losing the light of our sun as the evenings now draw darker, as we prepare for the Winter season, bringing the warmth of the fire into our homes, I invite you to reflect on the past year.

What have you achieved?

What have you let go of?

What big or little changes did you make in your life? maybe a new job, home, relationship, etc. etc. etc.?

Who did you forgive, make amends to? or maybe you forgave yourself ?

As you ponder on these questions ask yourself what am I grateful for and blessed to have in my life right now?

As you do this bring your thoughts to the moment and ask have I really taken 20 steps back?

Have all the ups and downs been you inner guidance, helping you along your path?

There is no right or wrong way when you let go and trust all works out. It can be quite hard to see that at the time or even let go but we do it anyway, sometimes without even knowing it.

So on this Full Moon:

May you be blessed with love light and healing.
May your light shine brightly on these dark Winter nights.
May you know that the light will shine again as the day of the Winter Solstice draws near.

Full Moon blessings, Bernadette Mac

23rd November 2018

In some traditions the full moon this month is called Beaver Moon and falls on U.S. Thanksgiving Day.

So let us pause for a moment as you read this and ask ' What is it today I'm truly blessed with? '

And ' What blessings am I asking for as the Winter months are upon us? '

The Beaver is busy building his home to keep warm for the winter, among many animals andhumans at this time of year.

As the evenings are darker we light our homes brightly inside with a beautiful fire burning.

As we lose the light on the outside we still have it on the inside.

It is a time of deep reflection and change.

So what blessings are you asking for as we draw within?

I invite you to sit quietly and listen to your inner being, let it guide you.

Knowing that the light will shine again on our days as the Winter Solstice draws near, may you be all blessed with magic on this November Full Moon.

shin shin, Bernadette.

8 December 2022

Hi everyone and big full moon blessings to you all tonight. This is the last full moon of the year 2022.

As this year draws to a close, the last full moon of this year 2022 will light up the sky on the run-up to the winter solstice. it is a great opportunity to embrace the wave of new energies coming in for the year ahead. I know a lot of you have been facing difficult challenges and cleaning out old patterns and issues so you can embark on a new path with a clearer head and lighter body. If you are one who meditates around the full moon and set intentions, tonight gives us all the perfect opportunity to do so letting go of what no longer serves you and what holds you back from being the beautiful light you are.

And in the times of darkness, you know you have that light to tap into and your time in the darkness becomes short-lived, so you can shine as you were meant to.

I guess the theme for this full moon, on the build-up to the winter solstice, is LIGHT. I know in some places the full moon was on the 7th of December and the 8th depending on where you are in the world. I felt the 8th today to be one of the important as the number 8 is infinity energy, life, moving in a circle. A lot would use this number in the cutting of the ties which blends in with letting go and releasing the old so you can move forward on your path. Maybe on this full moon a small cutting of the ties would be a way of doing a gentle ritual, of cutting the ties for the highest good of all involved.

Again this is just a suggestion and do what is best for you. Light a candle, sit by the fire in a quiet state of mind or go outside and look at the bright sky and the light of the moon. Of course if we are blessed with a clear sky! if not know the moon and stars are still there in the darkness, just like in your soul knows that the LIGHT is still there in the darkness, and set you intentions.

This full moon before yule, the long night's moon, the cold moon, the December full moon draws it's name from the darkness of this period. As we approach the winter solstice on Wednesday the 21st of December 2022 there is a chill in the air, old Jack Frost has made an appearance and the air cuts that little bit deeper and Jack Frost tighten his grip.

I am no expert on the astrology of the full moon but however, I have noticed and felt the energy around it ever since I was a little girl. The moon always intrigued me, and especially at this time of year. I recall a memory of 6 or 7 years of age on Christmas eve going to town with my babysitter and she bought me a book and coloured pencils and the moon was full and lit up the sky. I guess you would say that night brings a good feeling and memory, one I've never forgotten it times of darkness, also. a magical feeling.

So I ask the question where in your life do you feel you need to cut the ties ?

What old beliefs and patterns from the past that are holding you back that no longer serves you ?

Are you ready to let them go?

Is there a good feeling or memory you can tap into to bring in the light as you cut ties?

As this is the last full moon of the year and a Gemini full moon and Gemini are the twins, and also an open-minded and social air sign, be clear with your intentions and grounded, be present in the moment, and prioritize your connection to source.

So whether you already feel spiritually connected to the moon, now is a great time to really let go, coming to the end of an old year and into the new.

May you all be blessed with LOVE, LIGHT, ABUNDANCE, AND MUCH HEALING. Until the new year, many blessings, Bernadette Mac.

December 2021.

Hi everyone! welcome to the full snow moon. The full moon is a great time for setting intentions in your life and it's coming up in the winter solstice, Christmas, and end of the year.

As this is the last full moon of the year ask yourself the question.

What do you need to let go of?

What is it I need to bring about in my life that bring more balance and healing?

Where do you draw the line between your spiritual and logical /society acceptable self?

How do you find intimate or mentally stimulating connections outside of a romantic relationship?

When in your life do you feel most creative?

What I find very helpful for me on a full moon is to draw a circle on a blank page and write in the centre my intentions, and on the outside of the circle what I want to release and let go of.

So maybe tonight doing this may help you also and to do this with a short meditation and to burn the paper in the fire when you are done or at another time when you feel ready maybe on the winter solstice as the sun rises or sunset.

Many blessings to you all on this full snow moon. Love, light and healing. Bernadette Mac

Photo was taken a week ago in Poland of the snow sent by a friend. The moon is from last year. And hopefully tonight's sky will be clear for a photo. Many blessings, Bernadette

And the Full Moon brought in the snow in Ireland and England.

29th December 2020

Hi Everone. Welcome to the 3rd night of the full moon in Cancer. In some places it's on the 30th. So, knowing that, you can choose which night you would like to set new intentions for the New Year to come or perhaps you
would like to do both and let the energy settle in the soul and your goals, dreams and desires for the year ahead.

As it's the last full moon of the year, and this December's full moon reaches it's peak just before the new year, it is a perfect time to do a ritual and healing meditation around this moon cycle.

It's also known as the Cold moon and Wolf moon. With it already bringing a meteor shower, a solar eclipse, and great conjunction, Winter Soltice, and Christmas, it's been a busy month for sure. As the strangest, hardest year in recent memory comes to a close, we are anxious to hit the reset button. We have one final event and it's this full Cold moon in Cancer - the last full moon of the year - and it's going to light up our sky this week.

As the moon lights up the sky bring in the light to the self. Focus on your letter to the self you have written, if you have done one.

Glimpse briefly on the year gone by, and how fast that year has gone by! What big or small changes you have made to your life? and yes, we are all in hope for a better year to come.

On this full moon the astrologers talk about two waves of galactic energy happening in our solar system. A high vibration they say and they ask that you lift your vibration with this in mind, setting your intentions with this in mind can make a great difference to all there is and this big shift.

Let go of fear, replace it with love.

Let go of all negative thoughts and self-doubt and replace it with hope, harmony and healing.

So you are being asked to choose all that is good for you on this full moon.

Replace the fear with trust.

What do you believe?

Do you believe in divine force in all life?

Do you believe you are being guided by a higher power?

Do you believe your prayers are being heard and answered?

If you are in fear ask yourself what is the best way to confront it.

Yes, trust everything will be ok. We don't always believe, so look at your beliefs and trust on this full moon and this new energy coming in on a wave of divine love.

I invite you all tonight, on this last full moon of the year, to let go of all that no longer serves you. Just let it go, so you can make room for the new to come in, the birth of the new you.

Now bring your focus on your letter to the self. You may wish to burn it on the full moon or maybe you might go out and post this letter to yourself to help you remember who you truly are ...

or maybe you might want to write a new letter tonight.

On this full moon, that is coming in with these waves of divine light and energy and upgrading your body, mind, and soul, to the intentions you have asked for in this new year to come....

Again ask yourself one more time .... WHAT DO I BELIEVE?

LISTEN TO THE HEART .... INNER VOICE ....

And one way to key into this is your birth promise, or the many promises you made to yourself down through the years or this year. Only you tonight can know what it is you want to achieve and manifest, what you want to let go of and what you believe.

Use this last full moon of the year to let go and to welcome the new year to come - 2021. Let your soul speak to you from a place of true love and healing.

Focus on this beautiful wave of light tonight, a cosmic wave, and yes, we are already in it since the 9th of December.

With all that has been going on and off the planet over the past 12 months now come into the heart and soul and most of all trust.

May you all be blessed on this full moon, may all your dreams come true. Connect to the inner self and guides, stay grounded, focussed, believe and trust.

Many blessings, Bernadette Mac

Now we can change a few words here people... Jupiter aligns with Saturn.....

28th December 2020

Hi Everyone, welcome to day 2 on the preparation for the last full moon of the year, known as the Cold moon and it's in Cancer.

To close out 2020 in a deep and emotionally connective way and a very powerful one for sure, the full moon is a great way of reconnection with the self and setting new intentions and letting go of what no longer serves us. So tonight I invite you to take a glimpse back on 2020 and write down things you have learned since springtime when the world stood still and we were all on a journey together.

Just at the Sping Equinox, as things began to grow, the days were getting brighter, we had a pandemic.

For me looking back, the lockdown was one of how things were not important and family was.

Gratitude was one thing I surely learned along with learning to do stuff around my home I never knew I could do. I revamped the garden and upcycled old furniture and lots more.

I had feelings of concern and also love. Like many others, we all prayed and worked together as one, for each other and definitely a new way of living and doing things.

This last full moon is one of reflection before we go into the New Year and letting go of the old as we are now finding yourselves in a new way of living.

Ask yourself "how have you changed?" "how have you grown?" and bring yourself back to January 2020...

We also had the full moon in Cancer and it was on eclipse. So this year we had the full moon twice in Cancer so we started in Cancer and we are also ending in Cancer.

Also this year we had so many lunar, solar eclipses. The energies were very high also on a spiritual level. So tonight dig deep, deep self mothering, deep self nurturing.

Set healthy boundaries.

Write a letter to yourself as if you are writing a letter to your best friend. What would it say? how would it sound? how do you feel writing this letter to the self?

This letter is a private thing between you and source, guides and angels whomever you tap into as your higher power. When you are done with not only writing a letter to the self but also writing the things you are letting go of and the new intentions you are setting for the year to come, put it near your candle tonight, in an envelope, and just be in the moment. Focus on the flame, breath it in, and just be.

Blessings to you all tonight, Bernadette

Candle for prayers and healing for the coming full moon lit by Bernadette Mac on the night of 27th December.

27th December 2020

Hi everyone and welcome to some moon magic as the full moon is on the 29th, and in some places the 30th, of December.

I felt guided to post today to get ready for not only the full moon but the shift that is also taking place over the next few days or since before the winter solstice. Some astrologers are saying this shift started on the 9th of December and the earth is moving through some galactic sources.

A guy called Rory Duff, I found fascinating when I looked him up. Without getting too much into him for the moment, but he does talk about the energy of this full moon in Cancer 2020 and the effects of it. And he talks about the earth going through this galactic current sheet and how this happens every 12 thousands years and 2 waves of energy coming in.

This photo of the moon was taken by myself on Christmas Eve 2020.

So let's get back to the energy and shifts that are taking place during this last full moon of the year, known as the Cold moon, the Long Night moon or the Oak full moon.

It is just around the corner and with it waves of new energy pouring into the earth and they are saying this new energy is upgrading our DNA... mm... I thought that is very interesting and hope you find in this information the same feeling I got of new coming in and our vibration being lifted to higher energy while being very grounded at the same time.

So starting tonight, as we prepare for the last full moon of the year, and it's in Cancer, and the new wave of energy, just focus on lighting a candle. Be quiet, sit in silence and just be go within and be gentle with yourself.

I invite you to light this candle at 8pm tonight with the feeling of harmony, love, focus on the heart and the soul and feel the fire of your heart burn brightly and your soul fill with pure golden light.

Feel and think all good thoughts as you light this candle, as Cancer is all about emotions and emotions are very high at the moment in our world.

So bring the focus to the here and now. As you light this candle be in the moment. Hold your hand to your heart, feel the healing coming in and light all around your home, your family, your body, mind and soul.

Do this tonight as you get ready for this new energy coming in and the old energy leaving,

Blessings to you all tonight, Bernadette Mac

12th December 2019

Hi Everyone! welcome to some Moon Magic on this Full Moon December the 12th 2019, the last Full Moon of the year and close to the Winter Solstice and Christmas Day.

It's also in Gemini meteor showers as well, so there is so much going on around the Full Moon this month.

So again I will keep it simple as we find ourselves coming to the end of another year.

12 Full Moons later have you achieved your goals and dreams or did you find that things took a different path for you? what you have planned did not happen? things getting cancelled at the last minute?

Have you noticed family and friends are not running around this Christmas in the mad rush to buy gifts?

I can only speak for myself, that there is a feeling of calm and no panic this year and more focus on the real value of being around family, friends, and out in nature, finding time to reconnect, only to see all was meant to be.

We can still have our dreams, goals and desires. Life has a way of bringing it to us in away we would never have thought, so trust and watch the magic happen.

The one thing I love about the Full Moon is on a clear sky when you can see it shining along with the stars.

It can stir up a well of emotions and memories we thought we had forgotten. It's amazing how nature can do this... like the Full Moon, the rising and setting of the sun, our oceans, and mountains and the land.

So I invite you, on this last Full Moon, to simply connect to the self. Give yourself the gift of self care and love. In doing this we can share with others, for there is no better gift on this last Full Moon before Christmas.

Look up at the sky over the next few nights, remember all those who shared these magic moments from the past, who are no longer with us, and remember to pass on the gift of love to our next generation as we now approach into a New Year.

May you have a blessed Full Moon, Bernadette Mac

Rare moments

What a rare moment of the moon joining the statue of Jesus in Rio De Janeiro...

22nd December 2018

A full moon blessing to all tonight,

one day after the solstice night.

As we come to the end of the year

remember your friends from far and near.

As we reflect on the months and weeks that past,

send all your blessings from deep in your heart.

Blessings to all on this full moon night,

and remember you are love and light.

Bernadette

21st December - Winter Solstice

- there is an element of magic in our urban life style......

As we approach the full moon on Saturday there is a great feeling of knowing, deep in the soul, of the new and creativity, of old ways being remembered, being reborn.

Creativity has great therapy and healing.

Our Ancestors knew that. Remember who you are. Blessings, healing and gratitude.

Preparation

It is the last full moon of the year... maybe a time of letting go, moving forward into the new. It is happening one day after the Winter Solstice, the lunar cycle and nearly the end of the year. It is also known as the Full Cold Moon.

So what blessings are you thankful for as you reflect the new you wish to apply in the coming year?

I will be posting the blessings on the 22nd of December and with that in mind this week gives you time to sit with yourself and remember, reflect and let go...

As we approach the full moon blessings on the 22nd of December, pause for a moment and reflect on what blessings you wish to ask for at this
time.
