We've just celebrated the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, and fittingly enough July is freak-out planetary/moon month, with all sorts of eclipse activity turning people into ideas machines and/or moody psychopaths (cue me seeing the resident nutter of Rosalie twice in less than 24 hours wandering around a la Lady Macbeth cleaning his hands obsessively and gutturally moaning about nothing in particular - bare foot in the misty morning no less - but certainly enough vibrato in his moanings to freak the shit out of my dogsitting charge).
How to deal with the looming lunar activity? Mystic Medusa tells us that in preparation for the New Moon lunar eclipse we should consider the usual old things of massage, salt baths (laced with lavender) etc to deal with the emo tween mannerisms we suddenly adopt before a lunar eclipse, drink some wine and unleash our drunken, existential angsty babbles onto paper (don't bug your housemates with it) - then burn it. Also clean your house - get rid of the old energies, light a candle. Following burning of angst, Mystic tells us to focus on your Beautiful Book (egads! I don't bloody have one!) - however you can use a dream diary etc and list all that you are grateful for, and maybe make some resolutions (positive ones).
As for candle colour (if you believe it's important): white for purity of spirit, green for prosperity, pink for love, red for passion & black if you have some serious shite you need to get rid of. Frankly, I need about 10 of each colour. Especially the red.
The eclipse here in Oz is occurring at 12:36pm on Wednesday. So light a candle.
