Under the feminine rays of the Moon blood of the Goddess
We will Meet under star-sprinkled sky for two hours of Tantric Yogic ritual upon this coming half ascending Moon.
This will be our first initiation into the Moon blood ritual of Durga Ashtami. We may well continue to make this a regular monthly meeting.
This Durga Ashtami ritual will take place under the auspices of the half Moon in the lunar house of Shravan.
Shravan is the celestial ear that imparts the secret of listening.
Each Month on the half rising Moon, the Tantrics recognise the lady of the lion in the lunar sway.
She is the woman who wields all the powers of the Navagrah (nine planets). She goes by the name Durga, her name means the rare woman.
Expressing all the planets
in a feminine way,
she is the woman
in her seat of power.
Her seat is the lion, she is mother of all cats, big and small. This night’s ritual will be a magical invocation of, lion power, Moon blood and the sacred feminine
The secret Tantric teaching tells us that on this day the Goddess has her monthly period.
This is a day when the balancing, healing rays of Moon blood from the woman, of all women, showers down to heal the feminine soul.
The feminine power is unlike the masculine power. The feminine power carries the wisdom of the womb and the Moon. It is a power that expresses itself in the opposite of fire.
The Moon sword is the spiritual insignia of power. In the Tantric iconography, we see that it is carried by the gods and goddesses who honour and express the feminine power.
The Tantrics simply honour the Goddess. They recognise the importance of natural balance between the active and receptive forces.
Our world culture may revere the sun, and even extend the solar rays into the electrically lit-up home, when all of nature is dark.
But the Tantric follows nature and takes to listening to the teaching of the Goddess on her monthly night of Moon blood.
It is a night of aligning to the energies of the spiritual and physical womb. The ritual practices of this night can help to balance the sexual rhythms in both woman and man.
Fertility, menstrual, menopause, sexual energy such as virility issues can be balanced by observing ritual measures that align to this monthly half Moon of balance.
