Tracking Peace at the Hunter’s Moon
Web Full Moon Ritual
November 14, 2008
At Galen Road
Galadriel, Priestess
Diana: Goddess of the Hunt and of the Moon
Beneath the Full Moon we can seek the power of the Goddess for change, healing, and peace or we can turn away in fear. Let us pursue a new path together.
Cernunnos: Lord of the Wild Hunt
Cernunos can lead us into the wisdom of death to face our fears as we saw at Samhain or into the wisdom of Peace as we release our fears and find harmony and community with All Being. In this New Year we ask for a Vision of Peace and the Courage to pursue it.

Talking Stick (volunteer)
The Wisdom of the Talking Stick: What is your wish for the Hunter’s Moon?
We invite each of you to take the Talking Stick in turn, and tell us who you are, then share anything you’d like to share from your meditation. Of course you can keep private anything you wish, but if Spirit gave you words of wisdom, we’d like to share your teaching. What is your wish for the Hunter’s Moon?
Magical Working: Knot Magic
With knot one the spell’s begun;
With knot two draw magic through;
With knot three bring peace to me;
With knot four, peace is at the door;
With knot five this spell’s alive!
