Wheel of Fortune

the high priestess

The High Priestess is my card for the week. The image from the Gaian Tarot shows a woman with her face representing a young woman, maiden and mother, and an aging face, the Crone. While she is the representation of the Goddess shr reminds me that I contain all that I have been and will be across time---past, present, future unfolding together.

The card represents ancient mysteries, intuition, the moon. Sept's. full moon is the 4th----on-line-- the venerable publication The Old Farmer's Almanac is sponsering a contest to rename the full moons according to our more modern lives. The September moon is traditionally the Corn Moon or the Harvest Moon. But for most of us urban dwellers these names don't resonate so much anymore.

I've often thought of renaming the moons to represent the seasons more accurately as they occur here in southwestern Florida. For me the September moon would be the Jacaranda moon---as the jacaranda trees are now splendid in purple bloom. But that wouldn't make sense to someone in another part of the country.

The contest kicks-off with renaming October's moon----what are your suggestions?

Blessings!
