April 26th brings us an intense Supermoon in Scorpio. Supermons happen when the moon is even closer to Earth than it normally is and the Full Moon is when the moon is at the peak of its cycle, so we get this extra pull of lunar energy. As we know Scorpio is the most intense of the water signs, so

I cannot believe that I am typing this. I have so much to share since my last update. As you all know I was devastated about the donor backing out. There were so many reasons why I have a strong feeling that this particular donor is the one to help me and W become parents. While I knew that perhaps I would find another suitable donor, I felt that it could not hurt to ask my RE to forward an email to the donor telling her a little about our TTC history and asked if she could reconsider donating to us. My RE had the email passed onto the donor. The donor responded saying that she would love to help us. That being said she asked if we would be willing to wait to cycle in May. May would be perfect, yes I was hoping to cycle sooner, but a break from TTC was needed and necessary for mine and W's mental health. I emailed the donor coordinator last week to be sure that everything was set up as planned, she emailed me back, and what do you know? She said the egg donor wanted to move the cycle up a month, and if we were open to it I could start meds as early as this week. OMG!! I talked with W's he said lets do it. Here we are Saturday, March 21, 2015 day 1 of Lupron!! I cannot believe I'm cycling again. I feel so much peace about this cycle. I have so much hope. Hope is a dangerous feeling for those who have had difficulty ttc. But I will embrace this feeling, at least for now. I know there will be times during this cycle that I will not have this feeling. I will look at myself in the mirror and remind myself, that this donor, one of the most proven donors my clinic has ever had, produces an unreal number of eggs and even more important high quality embryos. If for some reason it doesn't work out, I have comfort that I will have more than enough embryos frozen for another cycle.

Depiction of the 19 years of the Metonic cycle as a wheel, with the Julian date of the Easter New Moon, from a 9th-century computistic manuscript made in St. Emmeram’s Abbey (Clm 14456, fol. 71r) For astronomy and calendar studies, the Metonic cycle or Enneadecaeteris (from Ancient Greek words meaning “nineteen years”) is a period of very close to 19 years that is nearly a common multiple of […]

On Saturday evening I celebrated a festival called Mounykhia. It is held in honor of Artemis in her roles of Lady of the Beasts, and as a moon goddess. This festival is, to my knowledge, the only festival held specifically for Artemis at the full moon - her sacred day was the sixth day of the lunar cycle, and so most of her festivals would fall then. The traditional offering made to Artemis at this time would be round cakes, called amphiphontes, which means something similar to shining all around, which were decorated with little torches. It would seem these cakes were offered before the sun set, but after the moon had risen. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible in my location, as the moon wouldn't rise until well after sunset. So I offered a cake and flowers in the woods at sunset. A honey almond cake, topped with walnuts, lemon zest, and sweet goat cheese. (Goats were also a traditional sacrifice at this time, so I wanted to include some sort of goat product.) As well as a libation of mead mixed with honey and olive oil. I spent some time meditation on Artemis' Orphic hymn. Later in the night I poured out another offering of warm milk, honey, and cinnamon, and meditated on Artemis as goddess of the moon, and as light bringer in the dark. I also spent some time praying for others who had requested it. During both events, something interesting happened. I have never in my some seventeen odd years of practice considered myself a priestess. Either because I belonged to a specific tradition where being a priest held a particular meaning, or because as a solitary practitioner it seemed like an unnecessary thing to do. And yet on that night, for the first time, for some reason, I felt somewhat like a priestess. I do not particularity know what to make of that. What that actually means. It's something I'm sure I'll be turning over in my medtations for a good while.
