Lunar Crystals

The moon represents emotion and powerful instincts, patterns, ancestral and karmic inheritances. For all moon signs it is recommended to meditate with a bloodstone at the full moon to uncover hidden unfulfilled desires that are controlling your life.

It is possible to reprogram patterns of behavior and facilitate healthy sources of nurturing.

Moon in Pisces

Amethyst – protective, cleansing crystal that brings tranquility, emotionally centers and is used to relieve pain.

Positive qualities – caring and empathic, spiritual awareness and psychic gifts.

Rhodochrosite – selfless love, compassion, also good for trauma.

Poetry

Willliam Butler Yeats

Love Song

My love, we will go, we will go, I and you,

And away in the woods we will scatter the dew;
And the salmon behold, and the ousel too,
My love, we will hear, I and you, we will hear,
The calling afar of the doe and the deer.
And the bird in the branches will cry for us clear,
And the cuckoo unseen in his festival mood;
And death, oh my fair one, will never come near
In the bosom afar of the fragrant wood.

by William Butler Yeats

New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York State Of Mind

I've seen all the movie stars

In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York State Of Mind

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York State Of Mind

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York State Of Mind
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York State Of Mind
