All Things Pagan Thread

I thought I’d start a Pagan thread to mark the special events, holidays, moon cycles, rituals.

I don’t know everything (or even half the things) about Paganism, it’s huge and has many branches, but it seems fun to share what I do know and learn, from research and others who know more than I do, along the way.

For example: Today, March 8, 2025, the moon is in waxing gibbous phase, and that generally means:

ā€œ...growth and the manifestation of desires. It is considered a time of heightened power and potential, making it an ideal moment to start new endeavors, affirm your intentions, and take steps to reach your aspirations.ā€

Here is a waxing gibbous moon.

This should be fun. I'm in. Every night I take a few moments to look at the moon in the sky. It just fascinates and I think of all the other people who are looking at the moon and wondering what they are thinking. I don't get to see much now because it's rainy season.
 
In the itching there is Hexagram called the well/nourishment. It tells of the condition of the well to provide nourishment either with poor or good quality.

Many think that the well represents our immediate environment including our body. To feed on positive energy instead of the negative energies.

Hexagram 48: The Well (Jing)

The Well represents your Immediate Environment. The classic saying for this hexagram is: "The town may be changed, but the well cannot be changed." * The Source: The well is the "hidden" energy of your 23 acres. No matter how much the news changes or how fast the world moves, the "water" (the life force) of your land remains the same.

  • The Condition: If the well is neglected—if the "mud" of anxiety and bad news settles at the bottom—the water becomes bitter and makes you sick.
  • The Environment as Nourishment: This hexagram teaches that you must maintain the well. If you "clear the silt" by turning off the news and focusing on the birds and the trees, you are cleaning your immediate environment so it can feed you positive energy.
Very good advice that I need. Thank you.
