About December’s Cold Full Moon

December full moon is commonly known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Full Long Nights Moon. It takes its name from the winter solstice, which has the longest night in the year. The Full Long Nights Moon cuts a soaring trajectory through the wintery skies, in direct opposition to the low-hanging sun. According to Pagan tradition, on years that the Full Moon falls before the winter solstice, it is referred to as the Mourning Moon. For our early Pagan ancestors this was a time of cleansing by stopping bad habits to make one stronger to service the cold winter ahead. The Algonquins called this full moon the Cold Moon, in reference to the cold light it casts upon long winter nights. Strangely enough, in certain other cultures, December’s full moon can actually be associated with warmth.

To the Deborean Clan, the Cold Moon is associated with staying in your cosy home beside a crackling fireplace, surrounded not just by physical warmth, but also the warmth of family and friends. Similarly, the Wishram tribe named December’s full moon the Winter Houses Moon. Given that it coincides with holidays like Yule, Pagans consider this the perfect time to open up your home and provide warmth to those you love, as well as to those who are most vulnerable to the cold of winter.

For those who are more inclined towards solitude, the Full Long Nights Moon provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy your cosy home in peace and quiet. Consider taking lots of restful naps under warm, fluffy comforters, or allowing yourself to lounge in bed in the mornings instead of rising immediately to work. Appropriately, the Native American Zuni tribe called December’s full moon the “Moon Where the Sun Comes Home to Rest”. This full moon is a great time for you to take a long overdue break and recharge, so that you may shine all the brighter when it comes time for you to rise again.

This period of slow restfulness is also very conducive to introspection. When you look inwards and take stock of your life during this time, try to focus on loose ends and the little things that you’ve left hanging throughout the year. As the last full moon that rises before the year draws to a close, the Full Long Nights Moon is a time of endings. Take advantage of this full moon’s energy and bring an end to tasks you’ve been meaning to do, clearing your mind so you can move forward with a clean slate.

As much as the Full Long Nights Moon may be about endings, it is also about beginnings and rebirth. The Sioux Indians’ name for December’s full moon is the “Moon When Deer Shed Their Horns”, thus beginning the process of growing new ones. The Celts, on the other hand, call it the Elder Moon. Elder is fragile and easily damaged, but it’s also full of vitality and recovers very quickly. As the Elder Moon shines upon you, allow yourself to rest and heal from everything that has hurt you over the year, and focus instead on new beginnings and promising areas of growth. This is an excellent time to start planning your New Year’s resolutions and set exciting new goals for the upcoming year.

December 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Spell for Friday – Hand of Time Spell

Hand of Time Spell

Items you will need:

Both hands
6 fingers

Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:

“Palms sweaty,
From watching clocks.
No more.
One finger,
For every ten docked.
Seconds in a minute
1440 in a day.
Stop a few,
For singing birds
And trees that sway.”

This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

Ten Of Cups – Minor Arcana

The meaning of the Ten of Cups Shadowscapes Tarot

The water embraced them both and welcomed them with a soft kiss of the sun. The water glowed warmly and invitingly. They drifted in a smooth and continuous hug and floated thanks to the light emanating from their hearts. Like a pair of sun twins, they were entwined in each other’s attraction and rotated in each other’s orbit. The world out there paused to honor the existence of the intense longing hidden in the twin’s heart. They wanted nothing more. They did not need anything else to be more complete than this moment, but there was always a link between them and the surrounding creatures.

The fish made the surface of the water bubble and surrounded their limbs. Their joy radiated a brilliant protective veil. Fish is a symbol of fulfillment and prosperity. They glided across the deep blue ocean, and their scales shined like gold. Moment of ecstasy in the overflowing happiness, as if this is the last full moment hidden deep under many outer shells, like a school of goldfish swimming in many deep layers of the sea.

Keywords related to the Ten of Cups Shadowscapes Tarot: serenity, unity, faith, reconciliation, fullness, joy-filled, contentment, safety, prosperity, protection, satisfaction, love, marriage, sincere friendship, cooperation, compatibility, peace, eternity, wish comes true, the Thanksgiving.

Ogham

Uilleand

Generosity, discretion, beauty, subtlety, the occult, perception of abundance

Tree: Honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.)

Letter: P

The Ogham itself is like a bunch of ZIP files waiting to reveal itself to the patient and the thoughtful. Learning the secrets of magic is not a matter of coercion but instead a dedicated pursuit of perceiving subtle meanings and gently working with natural forces. The occult, as much as some people may want to imbue it with paranoid, ghastly images of blood sacrifice, merely means “the hidden”, meaning that which is not obvious and must be gleaned, sussed out, and pored over in order to understand.

Whether you are an occultist or not, it’s a good life strategy simply not to talk about every one of your inner thoughts and to censor yourself depending on who you are with. Some of your secrets never need to be known by anyone besides you, and that is OK. Honesty is often NOT the best policy, except with yourself when assessing your flaws and strengths.

As this Ogham connects with honeysuckle, it also ties in with the concept of generosity and the perception of abundance. The honeysuckle’s graceful, arching habit and profusion of sweetly-scented flowers provides nectar and shelter for many bugs and small animals.

Generosity is in no way the exclusive trait of the rich; in fact, the poor are notably more generous than the rich. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, people in the bottom 20 percent tend to give more than their capacity to give while Americans in the top 40 percent are capable of donating two or three times more than they actually give. Perhaps this is because the poorer you are, the more likely you are to have empathy you have for those who equally poor or poorer than you. Or perhaps this is because poor people are likely to appreciate the small abundances they have instead of hoarding and jealously standing in constant, miserable guard of their wealth like certain types of rich people. The elites at the pinnacle of modern monetary wealth are latter-day ogres: monsters who skulk in caves full of stolen gold coins, plundered weapons, and blood-crusted jewels. The perception of plenty often is one and the same as plenty, which is why having “lots of toys” has never been the path to happiness. Abundance has to come from somewhere, and one of the reasons some rich people are so unhappy and mentally disturbed these days is because many have spent lifetimes denying their own privilege while hoarding wealth that came from unfair consequences offloaded on those poorer than them and the ecosystem itself. Such “abundance” has a hefty karmic price, and it is as if the modern day rich ogres sense this and it quietly drives them mad.

The secret here is that generosity is a form of living by the golden rule. Give without fear and worry and you will always feel contented. Conversely, clinging greedily to material abundance and status symbols out of fear of not having enough ensures you will never feel you have enough, no matter how rich you become. Uilleand tells you to spread your generosity and to send your wealth back into the flow of nature. Give whatever you can. You’ll always have just enough. Uilleand is the perception of plenty: be generous with what you have and like will attract like.

Hexagram Sixteen/16

Yü / Enthusiasm

Thunder comes resounding out of the Earth:
Similar thunder roars up from the masses when the Superior Person strikes a chord in their hearts.

Whip up enthusiasm, rally your forces, and move boldly forward.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There is a rhythmic force, a world music, that lives deep in the Unconscious of each of us.
It’s a primitive drumbeat, a shaking rattle, a tribal chant that invokes the primal self to rise up and join the dance.
This is the enthusiasm that is generated now.
Not rhetorical persuasion, not a play on the emotions, but a charismatic, irresistible Call of the Wild.
Confucius said that the person who could comprehend this could ‘rule the world as though it were spinning in his hand.’
This is a time for instinct, not intellect — the Thunder from the Beneath.

Nine

The energy of the number 9 represents completion, but not finality. Think of it more in a cyclical sense; it’s about the ending of one cycle and the potential it creates for another cycle to begin. The 9 in Numerology acts as an usher in this process of transition or transformation, guiding and empowering us with its wisdom. It absorbs answers from a spiritual source, then delivers them to us in the real world.

This number is a humanitarian at heart. It is compassionate, kind, and intent on putting its efforts toward creating the greatest good. The 9 in Numerology has gone through its fair share of hardship and is wiser, stronger, and more aware as a result. These first-hand experiences make it especially understanding of others who are struggling and willing to provide valuable support.

This is about the control of emotions. During transition periods, changing the course of life and accelerated self-change, it is important not to rush into emotions, either positive or negative. Remember that early action and right conduct are the only real protection. No matter whether your business flourishes or fades, don’t worry. Maybe you don’t win, but you will never lose, because you will always learn from what has happened. Moderation and civility are the strengths of the protective forces of this rune.

Amhancholl

Ae (sometimes represented as X or Xi), is Amhancholl or Eamhancholl, associated with Witch Hazel. This natural astringent is purifying and cleansing. The word Eamhancholl literally translates to “twin of Hazel”, so there is a strong connection to C–Coll in the Ogham. When Amhancholl appears, it’s usually an indicator that cleansing and purification is necessary or has taken place.

From a purely medicinal standpoint, Witch Hazel has long been used as a cleanser and astringent. Native American tribes turned it into a poultice which was used to treat swelling and tumors. Amongst the early settlers, midwives arriving in the New World found that it could be used to prevent sepsis following childbirth or an abortion. Today, it’s still in use as a treatment for skin inflammations, such as insect bites, mild burns, and even hemorrhoids.

Amhancholl Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time for a cleansing. Sometimes this is a physical cleansing of our Self, but often it applies to emotional clutter and baggage. Smudge your home, get rid of all the negative energies around you, and allow yourself to purify both your body and your mind.

Magical Aspects: This is a good indicator that you need to do a re-evaluation of your spiritual life. Are you studying things that no longer interest you? Are you hanging on to books or other magical items that you know you’ll never need–or worse, that you really dislike? If you’re feeling stagnant, or that you’re drifting a bit on a spiritual level, when this symbol appears it probably means you need to rethink your priorities. What are your spiritual goals? Do a cleansing ritual, and help yourself begin anew.

Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance?
Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist?
Then you will endure to reach your goal.

The Numerology Meaning of the Number 1: THE PRIMAL FORCE

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

An individual with the dynamic 1 trusts their ability to separate right from wrong, doesn’t waste time on abstract ideas, and rarely follows a path that isn’t in line with their result-oriented goal. The 1 is no preacher, no philosopher, spiritual explorer, nor dreamer – and certainly not an idealist. They are pragmatic, ruthless conquerors, and warriors extraordinaire. The 1 is individualistic and independent to a fault. They will attempt to force their viewpoint on you but have no desire to hear yours.

The 1 can be confrontational, jealous, and exceedingly stubborn, but also courageous and willing to try anything new (with promise) even at great risk. They have a sense of honor and responsibility that demands respect and are the first to defend injustice and hypocrisy.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

Fortunately, the 1 has a great capacity for humor, often self-depreciating, so you can poke fun at your friend and not worry about hurt feelings. But don’t cater to them to win love or friendship or you will lose their respect. Stand up to a 1 and you may lose the fight, but you’ll gain admiration. Working for a 1 you will be pushed to the limit, abused at all hours, and incapable of living up to unreasonable expectations. But you will also become the best you can be.

When in trouble, you want a friend with a strong 1 on your side, and you won’t find a braver partner or a more dedicated protector. But, if the 1 is your enemy, you could be crushed without mercy. And be forewarned, the number 1 is the most difficult of all lovers, demanding, jealous, confrontational, and impatient.

If you have a 1 in your core numbers, your happiness and sense of satisfaction will come from your work more than any other source.

All Signs

This is a positive, productive week with a romantic Friday evening leading to a wonderful weekend full of opportunities to socialize and enjoy the company of others. Yes — a fun weekend down the road! Naturally, there’s no free lunch. What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. In this case, it’s the Full Moon on Monday the 27th. As this week begins, there’s a Full Moon in Gemini that occurs at the same time that Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune. This means we will all have heightened, erratic energy due to the Full Moon, and at the same time, our communications will be like two ships passing in the night. “Marco?” “Heathcliffe!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful on Monday because this is an accident-prone day for Aries. There’s a lot of Full-Moon energy taking place that will affect your conversations, any errands or appointments that you have, plus short trips. For example, you might encounter confusion about belief systems or something to do with politics and religion. Don’t believe everything you hear. (And don’t believe everything you think!) By Wednesday, your week picks up in a lovely way. Relations with partners and close friends are smooth and supportive. Travel plans look promising. Issues related to earnings and cash flow are encouraging. Get ready for a fun weekend! Make some exciting plans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As I have mentioned many times before, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week begins with the Full Moon impacting both of your Money Houses, which bring issues to a head or some kind of culmination. However, at the same time, there’s a strong influence that will create confusion about financial matters (possibly even deceit) including cash flow, earnings and inheritances plus the wealth and resources of your partner or someone else. Therefore, wait until Wednesday, to make financial decisions so that you really know what you’re doing. In fact, Wednesday’s an excellent day to entertain big ideas. Enjoy the rest of the week!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will feel a strange energy at the beginning of this week because on Monday, the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. Not only that, at the same time, your ruler Mercury will be at odds with fuzzy Neptune creating confused communications, misinterpretations, false assumptions and possibly, even deceit. This kind of energy coupled with the Full Moon in your sign, is enough to give you pause. (Little furry ones.) Avoid important decisions until Wednesday. Ironically, from Wednesday onwards, the rest of the week is fabulous! However, prior to Wednesday, don’t do anything you might later regret. Be smart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

At the beginning of this week, on Monday, the Full Moon will take place in a hidden part of your chart, which could make you feel kind of discombobulated. You might feel indecisive or confused. This is because not only is the Full Moon creating some unusual energy for you, in addition, Mercury is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means you can expect confusion and misunderstandings in your conversations with others. You might even want to hold back information or keep a secret for some reason. You might have some unrealistic longings or pie-in-the-sky wishes? Until Wednesday, don’t act. Just coast. The good news is that after Tuesday, for the rest of the week, it’s smooth sailing!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It will be smart to zip thy lip and be as tactful as possible as this week begins (on Sunday and Monday) because the Full Moon on Monday could create misunderstandings or friction with friends or members of groups. In addition to which, because Mercury is at odds with Neptune at the same time, romantic relationships might disappoint. You might also have confused communications with your kids. The best thing for you to do is to maintain a holding pattern until Wednesday. Then voila! Wednesday, and for the rest of the week, turn into a fantastic time to socialize, enjoy vacations, sports events, the arts and fun times with kids. Therefore, tiptoe softly at the beginning of the week. Make no judgments. Say nothing you will regret later. Then, from Wednesday onward, enjoy good times!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully on Sunday and Monday at the beginning of this week because your relations with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police are confusing and challenging. Don’t go looking for trouble because it will find you. Don’t try to defend yourself or correct someone in authority. Steer clear of family arguments. (Incidentally, someone might not believe you.) Fortunately, these potential problems will fade by Wednesday, which is a popular day! After that, the rest of the week is pleasant and easy going. Expect to focus on home and family more than usual, perhaps with home repairs. You will also enjoy shopping for beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Ka-ching!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do at the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because this is an accident-prone time for you. Physical accidents or verbal gaffes. Furthermore, conversations with others will be misleading, confusing and prone to misunderstandings. Accept these restrictions, because on Wednesday, your impress everyone! And for the rest of the week, you’ll enjoy a fast pace of stimulating activity. You’ll love talking to others, especially young people. After Tuesday, it’s a great week to shop for wardrobe items for yourself. It’s also a great time to convince others about your ideas, which are excellent for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. (Remember: On Wednesday, you’re convincing!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful with financial matters, including shopping, at the beginning of the week on Sunday and Monday, because Monday’s Full Moon could create stress for you in terms of financial matters, debt, inheritances, taxes, earnings and cash flow. Problems related to something that you own might also occur. These problems could be misunderstandings or arguments with someone else. They might also be an indication of some kind of financial deal gone wrong. Whatever the case, by Wednesday, everything changes. In fact, Wednesday is an excellent day to make travel plans or explore opportunities in medicine, the law and higher education. Continue to focus on ways to boost your earnings later this week. Trust your moneymaking ideas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Tread carefully at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) because the Full Moon on Monday is the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign. In addition to which, Mercury in your sign is at odds with fuzzy Neptune on the same day. This means discussions with partners, spouses and close friends could be adversarial and confusing. Misunderstandings will be rife. Wait until Wednesday when everything changes. On Wednesday, the resources of others and financial decisions will boost your health, your job and your general well-being! The rest of the week is lovely. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whatever you’re dealing with at the beginning of this week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) will be confusing or disconcerting for some reason. You might second-guess yourself. You might lack confidence. Quite likely, you’ll have that feeling you’re not sure what’s going on. Fear not, this is all to do with the Full Moon on Monday happening at the same time that Mercury is odds with fuzzy Neptune. And you’re right. This is a disconcerting time. Muddle through until Wednesday, which is a great day to socialize! Relations with others will be upbeat and rewarding. Following that, the rest of the week is grand! Make plans for the weekend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

At the beginning of the week (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), you might find it challenging dealing with friends or members of groups. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with your kids, teammates in sports, and definitely a romantic lover. The reason for this is the Full Moon on Monday will create tension dealing with these people. Plus this Full-Moon tension is further exacerbated by the fact that on the same day as the Full Moon occurs, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which further confuses your communications with others. Oy! This is frustrating! Not only will emotions be running high, but there will be confused communications. Fortunately, by Wednesday, all is well. Work-related travel and group efforts are blessed. The rest of the week and the weekend are fun-loving and playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware that dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, VIPs and the police) will be challenging at the beginning of this week on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Arguments and misunderstandings are likely. The Full Moon on Monday might create a tug-of-war within you about the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job or your career. Furthermore, on that same day, Mercury is at odds with Neptune, which will create confused communications. Possibly even deception. This is a frustrating combo! Fortunately, by Wednesday, you’re in the mood to party and trip the light fantastic! Relations with kids and romantic partners will shine. These good feelings continue right on into the weekend at the end of the week. Make plans to socialize and enjoy good times with others. This week has a tough beginning but a great ending! (All’s well that ends well.)

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month (November), 2023

Now we wait to see if this proclamation is carried out or just more lip service by another USA president.

A Proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month, 2023

During National Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the invaluable contributions of Native peoples that have shaped our country and honor the hundreds of Tribal Nations who continue exercising their inherent sovereignty as vital members of the overlapping system of governments in the United States.  We also recommit to supporting Tribal sovereignty; upholding the Federal Government’s solemn trust and treaty responsibilities; and working in partnership with Tribal Nations to advance prosperity, dignity, and safety for all Native peoples.

Since time immemorial, Native communities have passed down rich cultures, knowledge, traditions, and ways of life.  But throughout our history, Native peoples’ cultures, identities, and governments were not always seen as a part of this Nation but as a threat to it.  Native people were pressured to assimilate, banned from practicing their traditions and sacred ceremonies, and forced from their homes and ancestral homelands.  This violence and devastation cost countless lives, tore families apart, and caused lasting damage to Tribal communities and institutions.

Despite centuries of violence and oppression, Native peoples remain resilient and proud.  Today, Native Americans are essential to the fabric of the United States.  They serve in the United States Armed Forces at higher rates than any other ethnic group.  They continue to steward so many of our great lands.  Their contributions to science, humanities, arts, public service, and more have brought prosperity for all of us.  Their diverse cultures and communities continue to thrive and lead us forward.

Since the beginning of my Administration, I have been determined to help champion a new and better chapter in the story of our Nation-to-Nation relationships.  I started by appointing Native Americans to lead in my Administration — including the first Native American Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, dozens of Senate-confirmed Native American officials, and over 80 Native American appointees serving across my Administration and in the Federal courts.  I restored the annual White House Tribal Nations Summit to advance communication between key members of my Administration and the leaders of hundreds of Tribal Nations.  My Administration formally recognized Indigenous Knowledge as one of the many important bodies of knowledge that contributes to the scientific, technical, social, and economic advancements of the United States and our collective understanding of the natural world.

Together with leadership from Tribal Nations, we are making historic investments in Indian Country.  Our American Rescue Plan invested $32 billion in Tribal Nations — the largest one-time direct investment in Indian Country in American history.  Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invested more than $13 billion to rebuild infrastructure, the single largest investment in Indian Country infrastructure in history.  Our Inflation Reduction Act also made the largest investment ever to combat the existential threat of climate change, including $700 million dedicated to climate change response in Native communities.  Last year, I signed a Presidential Memorandum that improves consultation between the Federal Government and Tribal Nations.

My Administration is also working to address the impacts of harmful Federal policies of the past while ensuring Native communities are safe and healthy.  Through the Department of the Interior’s Road to Healing initiative, Native language preservation, public safety initiatives, and bold new investments, we are supporting Native American families and their communities as they heal.  We are also working to improve public health and safety for Native Americans.  I signed an Executive Order that helps us respond more effectively to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples.  Last year, when we reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, I was proud to include historic provisions that reaffirm Tribal sovereignty and restore Tribal jurisdiction.  My budget for Fiscal Year 2024 also requested a $9.1 billion infusion for the Indian Health Service, and I have asked the Congress to make that funding a mandatory part of the Federal budget for the first time in our history.

We are also committed to partnering with Tribal Nations to protect and steward their sacred and ancestral lands and waters.  Through Tribal co-stewardship agreements, we work directly with Tribal Nations to make decisions about how to manage those lands that are most precious to them — recognizing and utilizing the invaluable knowledge they have from countless generations.  I established new national monuments protecting lands sacred to Tribal Nations at Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni in Arizona, the Camp Hale-Continental Divide in Colorado, and Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada.  I also restored protections for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument in New England and Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah.

This month, we celebrate Native American history and culture.  We are reminded that with hard work and a commitment to our founding ideals, we can address the wrongs of our past and become a more perfect Union — one that ensures liberty, justice, dignity, and equality for all.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2023 as National Native American Heritage Month.  I urge all Americans, as well as their elected representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.  Also, I urge all Americans to celebrate November 24, 2023, as Native American Heritage Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

Ace Of Wands – Minor Arcana

The Ace of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot represents creativity in excitement, adventure, a challenge to motivate forward with courage and confidence.

Steadily, the wand plugged into the ground. From there, it spreads out a crimson light, like the usual reactions when flint stones collide in a pile of dust, so on, inspiration also originates from that light.

The spirits and wind goblins began to leave the residence. They hide in the shape of normal light spots, not very prominent, and then, escape from leaves, nooks, boulders and the sky. There was a flash of lightning. The challenge began to be revealed. Invitations were spread everywhere at dawn.

Once being set, the fire became unstable, seemingly unpredictable and was out of control. The source of that energy, unrestrained, exploded, frantically turned into a wildfire. Let’s take this wild opportunity and shine on the intense fire.

These animals are the spirits and guardians of the Wand: fox, cat, lion. They were brilliant with the light of wisdom and prudence, dashing like an arrow flying through the world, with the fiery flames of a fierce and powerful spirit.

Keywords related to the Ace of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot: energy, inspiration, innovation, optimism, invention, trust, enthusiasm, willpower, tenacity, fertilization, creativity, conception, growth, sexuality, motivation, initiative, new project, new business, the power of fire element, a turning point, new experiences, new ideas, new start, turning ambition into action.

 Crossroad

Since ancient times it has been considered that crossroads are very powerful places. They are often used for magic procedures. The crossroads also symbolize the crossed spears. Nevertheless, in spite of its mystery the fallen rune Crossroad doesn’t mean something bad. It only hints that you are on the way to choose as you are standing on the crossroads. And only you can decide what way to choose. You shall take much pain to analyze everything, make a decision and listen to your mind and intuition.

Key words: road choice, crossroad, gates, free will, your decision

Ioho

Grace, death, letting go, endings, rest, the beauty of decay

Tree: Yew (Taxus spp.)

Letter: Y

Ioho symbolizes the acceptance of enduring realities and legacies of the past. If you draw Ioho, look for the end of a phase or cycle. Ioho suggests you are handling or will handle the matter at hand with dignity and grace.

Modern culture has spent a great deal of time running away from the ideas of death and decay as natural, welcome processes. As a result, we have a society obsessed with launching our species into space for fear of extinction, a medical industry bent on extending life long after it has ceased to have any quality, and a fixation on youth that motivates the middle aged to undergo brutal, grisly procedures in order to look twenty. When we frame aging (not just of human beings) in a sensible way, we understand that getting old isn’t so terrible. People age and die. Technologies change. Weeks become years. Eras fade away. Letting go is for the best.

Ioho is about accepting limits gracefully. We cannot control much of what is around us or what happens to us in life, but we can control a great deal of how we perceive it and what we decide to do about it.

Though this Ogham has profound similarities to the Death card of the Tarot, like that card, 99.9 percent of the time it is not to be taken literally. Drawing Ioho does not mean you or someone in your circle is fated for immediate death. Instead, it signifies the necessary end and inevitability of all things decaying and dying. More often than not, the death process is much slower than we impatient humans are able to bear. Look for a lesson that comes from the acceptance of endings rather than literal death.
