Under the Turning Moon
Monthly group rituals focus on reflection, storytelling, and shared repair.
Through trial and care, humans learned to mark the moon’s return;with gatherings that please the Three Mothers,who honor story, structure, and the will to mend.
Each month, begin the Balance Ceremony.Light two flames: one for the Shaper, firm and still,one for the Quickener, who stirs and shifts.Arrange stones or tokens in order, then let new forms arise.Speak of how stillness grounded you,and how change shaped your path.Tell old stories. Let them evolve, as all things do.
Then form the Healing Circle.Begin by naming what is broken in the world,not in despair, but in clear-eyed witness.Each voice offers a healing intention:a word, an act, a vision of mending.Let the group listen with care, without reply.Close by naming one thing each person will tend:a wound to soothe, a thread to reweave,a place, a person, a pattern to help restore.
These rituals thrive in circles of trust,but may be kept alone when needed.Let one be chosen each time to guide the flow.All should hold this role in turn.If the group grows large, let it part by chance,so the Mothers may whisper where to divide.
