New Moon Gatherings & Meditations for 2024

Setting Our Earth Anchor – A New Year begins!

3.11.2024 :: And onward we go welcoming and celebrating the gifts of the Pisces New Moon! Another terrific group of Luna-lovers joined me on Zoom on the eve of the New Moon, and of course so many others “arrived” virtually via the recording. The collective energies are shimmering more and more brightly all the time. Here’s the video link: Pisces New Moon and more Dragons!

2.11.2024 :: Our February 9th Zoom gathering was such a fine celebration of the Lunar New Year and a most lively welcome to the Year of the Dragon! It definitely went beyond my expectations and I’m thrilled to share the recording link here. No doubt whatsoever that we are off to an exhilarating New Lunar Year!!!

1.22.2024 Hello, Luna & Earth Lovers! January’s mystical Capricorn New Moon inaugurated 2024’s Lunar cycles with February’s Aquarius New Moon (2.9) heralding the arrival of the Year of the Dragon. And one week prior on February 7th, we will celebrate the ancient Fire Ceremony of Imbolc / St Brigid’s Day (aka known as Ground Hog Day). And so the spiral journey of 2024 begins, opening to a year that is certain to bring momentous things, some no doubt tumultuous but some as well, we would hope, of quiet delights and joys.

While I did not succeed in offering online gatherings and videos for all 2023’s New Moons, you will find the eight that did happen in their playlist on my YouTube channel The final one was a special meditation for the Winter Solstice that can be enjoyed no matter the date. For each you will find a description and related resources in the details below the video. While we are entering a new Wheel of the Year, you may find something of value by exploring these 2023 Lunar videos. Oldies but goodies {smile}

Leading off this New Year is a video providing an overview of the first two Lunar cycles along with a special grounding practice – Welcoming 2024 – Setting Our Earth Anchor. The “why” and “how” of the practice are given in the video’s second half with a time-stamp to direct you there.  

I’ll be hosting a “live” Zoom gathering on Friday, February 9th, to celebrate the New Moon and welcome the Year of the Dragon. It will be good fun! The Zoom link is sent out via my Newsletter or by email request (meadowmuse7@yahoo.com). Last but not least, the first New Moon & More Newsletter is now online……you’ll find it here: https://mailchi.mp/f0f22ef36b2e/2024s-first-new-moon-and-more-newsletter?e=cc46be6fa5 

2022’s Beginnings:

What a wonderful first Year of these New Moon meditations! The final one became a Winter Solstice celebration, December 21st which was actually just two days ahead of the Capricorn New Moon, December 23rd. We were joined by the most wonderful goddess, the Reindeer Goddess, and an especially enchanted visit of a beautiful Snowy Owl. I hope you will treat yourself to time with both and with me, your Lunar correspondent from Lightspring Glen. Winter Solstice Meditation :: 21 December 2022

Sacred Geometry

In January, 2022, I began an intriguing exploration of Sacred Geometry through the able and insightful teaching of George Leoniak. As a longtime devotee and student of Labyrinth, this was no doubt destined to happen! George is reaching an ever-widening audience with his exciting Knew Geometry offerings and research shared via YouTube, Facebook, and his Patreon channel. Following the completion of my first Apprenticeship study, I was honored to be interviewed for his “Knew Conversations”. Our lively conversation about Sacred Geometry and its intersection with Labyrinth can be found at this link. I begin a second Apprenticeship this Summer (2022)……no doubt further references will appear here at Golden Spiral Journey!

Between the Realms ~*~

The singular year of 2020 found me venturing onto YouTube when in January I began to create and post videos on the New and Full Moons. With the rigors of the pandemic mounting precipitously in March, I began to offer weekly videos. This link will take you to the channel’s homepage —

The latest video posted is of March 19, 2022: Welcoming Spring at Lightspring Glen

Notes of an Earth Pilgrim

Prior to coming over to Word Press, my blog, “Notes of an Earth Pilgrim”, lived at BlogSpot from its inception in 2011 until 2016. All sorts of lovely and lively posts to enjoy there. Here is the link:  Notes of an Earth Pilgrim
