Bone Moon - Cailleach



We are at the time of Bone Moon. 
Cailleach the Goddess of Stone Ice Frozen Water. 
Bare bone. 
It is said she has one blue eye which can see beyond the veil of worlds seeing 
the interconnection of everything. 
She is the Guardian of Life force nurturing nourishing the seeds in the dark Earth 
Enabling life to come forth in Spring. 
Protecting animals during the hard winter.  
She is the Guardian of Life and Death. 

This is the time when trees are laid bare. It is the time where we are called to Pause. 
Be in the moment. Listen. It is the time for reflection. 
The call of Bone Moon asks us to be naked with our truth. 

Time to breath pause. Sit by open fire share nourishment of warmth of drink food tales songs.
Finding the warmth inside while outside the sharp ice cuts through all that no longer serves us. 

As we let go so we become lighter. 
And so just as the land seems increasingly bare and raw in the darkness cold. 
Even the last remains of autumn leaves dissolve into the Earth. 
It is the time a breath way before new buds burst forth from the frozen underworld. 
It is the time just before the Birthing of Spring.
