Each month brings us an opportunity to experience the energy of the Moon’s sojourn through the Wheel of the Zodiac;explore these different energies and how they can be thought about and used to expand our awareness and our magick.

Full moon gatherings or solitary practice are called the Esbats; the celebration of the moon’s fullness. The moon is associated with the feminine  aspects of the Divine. Earth and sky goddesses are associated with the moon. Earth for the female cycle and therefore fertility and the sky because aroud the full moon, hunters had an advantage with the extra light to have more success with the hunt.

This began over 30,000 years ago when peoples were organized in a matriarchal system. According to astological movement we are moving away from the patriarchal and becoming more balanced with the feminine energy. Of course we are talking hundreds and possibly thousands of years so let’s keep the planet safe until then. I found some interesting quotes for you to pnder at this full moon.

… Invisible spirit of the Air,
And of fresh, cool winds,
O vast and boundless Grandfather Sky, Your living breath animates all  life.

 ~ Ralph Metzner

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,

Well, I’m not going to ruin the surprise here – and honestly – it takes a LOT out of us to pull these kind of events off successfully, so we can only launch one at a time.

In other words, although, you’ve got questions and we’ve evidently peaked your interests about how you can get your hands on some of the brand new merchandise we are giving away for free – we’ll even ship it straight to your door – long story short, my lips are sealed, you’ll just have to wait.  ;-(

Like waiting for Santa to bring you toys on Christmas morning.  Wondering what “it” is, if it has your name on it and if you rattled the box for an hour if you’d be able to guess the metaphysical goodies inside.

One thing at a time, my dears.

Surprise: Jewelry Event Celebration, first.

Tomorrow: Friday, December 10th, 6pm to 9pm.

So, instead of answering similar questions multiple times, we’re going to answer them here on the Spiritual Wellness blog, so everybody can benefit at the same time, as time permits, since we’ve gotta get ready for Friday.

Clarification: What does [this crystal] do for me?  Can it benefit me keeping it close to my body?

A common question.  We get questions about the healing properties of crystals all the time: in the shop, on the phone, out and about.

We’ll have a full staff on-hand to answer any and all questions about the healing properties of crystals and the types of energy they possess and give out.  Many of our customers know the basic crystals and can recognize them on site.  We keep nearly eighty small crystals in stock every day, both to be at a price point that you our customers can afford to carry such crystal energy with them daily, but also to use as a tool to help identify and teach others.

But there are so MANY crystals, and personal issues with such variations (often it’s not just one crystal, but the combination of two or three that is the best solution to benefit one’s ailment by the way) that the best answer is to give talk to us in person so we can best pinpoint your tailored solution.

I hope that doesn’t come off as a cop-out answer, but it really is the best one we can give.

A “blanket answer” just may not be right for you.  And we wouldn’t want to lead you down the wrong path.

Plus, if you’ve ever shopped with us before, you know that we have an extensive line of books and reference materials you are welcome to dig into, on top of getting crystal expertise from our staff.  And we will have a full house on Friday from 6pm to 9pm during the jewelry event to answer your most burning crystal questions, live, in the flesh!

P.S.  In case you missed it, Rob helped us create this cute, little video and put it on YouTube about the kinds of surprises awaiting you at the Enchanted Moments Jewelry Event, the last of the 2010.  Watch it if you haven’t – and leave your vote, if you want to see more.  Watch your speaker volume, it definitely has holiday music to put you in the mood!

So, before 2010 turns into 2011, in less than a month (yikes!), we decided to cave in and despite an already busy month for any retail shop, we are icing your cake, bringing out new jewelry, in every crystal combination imaginable (turquoise, black onyx, rose quartz, larimar, amethyst, coral, garnet, citrine, clear quartz, labrodite, fluorite, moonstone, you name it!) in rings, pendants, necklaces of course, earrings and bracelets.

The event is THIS FRIDAY, December 10th 2010, for only three hours: 6pm to 9pm.  Significant savings will entitle you to 20-25% Off for the very short Friday evening window.  Saturday, all prices return to full retail and will be too late to get your hands on the jewelry that speaks to you calling out your name.  This jewelry event will be at our Enchanted Moments metaphysical gift shop in Historic Downtown Milford, Ohio at 127 Main Street.  This is just one of three surprises we are showcasing this month, and if you were lucky to attend last year, you know it will be a whopper.  You know we bring out exclusive jewelry from our Enchanted Moments buyers that literally travel the world all year round just to find the exact, right component to bring back to us and make Robin and my eyes shake with delight and envy.

Of course, we will be having a grand time, (partying with music, food, drinks, friends – you can’t go wrong) no matter what:  surrounded by the friends we enjoy, eating the foods we love most, and being able to capture the surprise, wonder and kid-in-a-candy-store expressions as we pull back the cover on some of our most prized jewelry from our exclusive necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and pendants collection.

As you might bet, we’ll have wrapped jewelry, local artisan works, holiday items – - the whole shootin’ works on display.  It will be another night to look back on with smiles.  Rob is mailing out a coupon for those on our Spiritual Wellness and Healing Newsletter that will save you an additional 15% off any one item, excluding the already, deeply discounted jewelry (mental note to self: I’ll only get the Deep-Discount Savings for three hours from 6pm – 9pm this Friday Evening, December 10th!).

We want you to be there.  Odds are pretty good, that you deserve to be here.  At the very least, come in and visit, get your hugs and let us know what’s going on in your world – we know the holidays can get a bit frantic, so an evening celebrated with like-mind, energetic, happy individuals is often a good fix.  We’ve made Friday the tenth for YOU.

Thank you!  You’ll join us too, yes?
