Sunday Jul 02, 2023
Hey all, it's a Capricorn Super Moon which is bleating at us to get on with the Work, but also to take a moment and take in the view from the top of the mountain that is YOU - what's ahead, sure, but more importantly, how far you've come. Give thanks and gratitude and celebrate the wild in whatever way you deem fit, Child of Earth!
Cover song - Climb Every Mountain (Rodgers/Hammerstein)

Hey there my beautiful beasts, it's a Beltane full moon lunar eclipse in sexy, strange, seductive Scorpio! My birthday happened to fall on the same night as the full moon so I decided to do a random party recording and some dear friends dropped in for some deep musings on this powerful Sabbat. I hope this lunar eclipse assists you in your transformation from scuttling Scorpion to exultant Phoenix!
Original song: "The Garden"

Hey everyone, Sorcharess here with another spell cast for the full moon. This month it's all about taking the time to heal, recuperate and dream up a bright future for yourself.

Miaow my cats and thanks for listening in to this spell cast for the full moon in Leo! It's the kind of moon that may have your cats skittering around the room like demons from hell because la Luna is squaring off with that irrational paradigm shifter planet Uranus (in the physical sign of Taurus) Not to worry! Perhaps a good sing will help. We'll learn all about the benefits of singing from Anneliese Nakahara-Knight, co-founder of MotherSong Japan.
Featured original LIVE song: "Black Red Blue"

Hey there party monsters! 2022 is a WRAP. I hope you've thrived and survived this year, 'cause there's certainly more to come. The full moon in Gemini is conjunct a retrograding Mars so there may be a bit of weirdness and frustration about - but it's a great opportunity to put your money where your mouth is and get real on your motivations.
