Greetings Sistars. It's a Bright New Year!

The first month of the year is full of mixed emotions and energies. As we clear out the old and organize our lives to create sacred space for new beginnings, let's remember to take time to rest, renew and nurture ourselves in these first few weeks and contemplate the vast possibilities awaiting each of us. I am pleased to share the fourth issue of the Goddess of the Gypsy Moon newsletter.

January is the Wolf Moon

Rest/Renew/Nourish

January is the 1st month. In numerology the number one signifies great power. It represents the foundation upon which all things begin, indicating unity, as all things are really one thing: 'energy'. A word to the wise: "Allow this strong energy to assist you in finding clarity within, nurturing your body and spirit, dreaming illusion into matter, as this is an excellent time to start new projects."
January is the doorway of the year. It is named after Janus, the god of doorways and for Ianuarius, a Saxon term Wulf- monath which means Wolf- mouth. The Latin word for "door" is ianua. This is a conflicting time of duality, as the energies stress the need for hibernation as well as emergence from deep with- drawal. It is therefore beneficial to open all the doorways of our psyche: Reclaim the wisdom from past experiences to seize with boldness and grace the expanding potential awaiting.
