9eagle9, I've been very fortunate being part Cherokee, embracing that part of me, growing up and living with Native American (mostly Cherokee) "medicine and spiritual" teachings being a huge part of my life. I've also been lucky enough to have a few quite powerful people of medicine, or holy people near me for lengthy periods of time.Posted by 9eagle9 (here)
So I'm thinking we are looking at the 'full' moon in a whole new way. Perhaps not just a naturally occuring elemental event but a once monthly orchestrated power surge ....?
"The rule of opposites" were heavily involved in many of the teachings I received, so, it comes natural for me that when you say "full moon" or light visible moon, for me to instantly think of dark or hidden moon.
The new moon or dark moon is actually the beginning of the "power surge" monthly cycle IMO. The full moon perhaps is it's peak point, but it's strange to think this cycle begins and ends in "darkness, or by being "hidden".
Someone way back told me this moon cycle was like a cycle of consciousness so to speak, somewhat beginning in a dream state, awakening, and then returning back to the dream state.....(for some reason this makes me think of these spiders/critters and how or when they may be most active).
I'm just thinking....again
