Autum MoonLetter 2004

Greetings Autumn Earth Children*:.

Well with all the heat we’ve had lately… it’s hard to believe we’re on our way into autumn… It’s been wonderful to get some rain though, our earth has really needed it… and the electrical storms have been absolutely spectacular!*:.

Next moonfest on 7th March is the MOTHER EARTH MOON FEST. With the moon in Virgo, an earth sign, and being the day before international women's day, I thought this would be a lovely theme for the next moonfest. And so you know, just because we are celebrating international women's day as part of this moonfest theme, it is definitely NOT gender exclusive... All genders, all ages, all people welcome… Bring your instruments, drums, fire toys and dancing bodies for a jam, twirl and dance under the luminous full moon…

And so... going with that theme... of earthy, feminine goodness... I'd love to have a space for henna art. As many of you have been discussing this on the moonfest groups message board, I've noticed how many people are into doing it or at least interested in it... so if you are a henna artist and would like to contribute a little something special to the next moonfest I'd LOVE to hear from you... the more the merrier... I would be more than happy to pay for henna and any other requirements... or perhaps people could give a donation as they receive the henna treatment...

There are many people interested in learning how to use and apply henna as well... so if anyone is interested in running a casual workshop in the afternoon as part of a sunfest activity.. That too would be beautiful

Another idea was to have mud masks and foot baths/massage... What better way to soften the feet so that we may walk gently on our earth

So anyone interested in contributing it that way (or any other way you feel would be appropriate) I'd love to hear from you as well as any other ideas YOU might have.

It's a festival....festive-all.....ALL FESTIVE!!! .:*BE THE FESTIVAL*:.

A little quote from Maureen on the moonfest msn group message board (https://groups.msn.com/moonfest) I thought I’d share with you:

“March 7th is Clean Up Australia day.

When I was searching the site I noticed that someone has organised to do Moora Park. I figured since this is the place where we all gather for Moonfests it might be a good idea for as many of us as possible to go and lend a hand. This is also the day that Moonfest is on, celebrating mother earth. What better way to celebrate then to help clean her up? It will definitely get us in the mood to party that night! Check out the website: https://www.cleanup.com.au/Main.asp?RequestType=CUASite&SubRequestType=FetchCouncil
Type in Shorncliffe and the name of the person organising it will come up and you can get all the details.”

What a wonderful idea!*:. I was saddened (and a little cranky) at the end of last moonfest to find loads of rubbish (that of which including alcoholic beverages & beer bottles etc... strange for a drug and alcohol free event really) It really was horrendous the amount I picked up... It's never ever been that bad... I think with the extra publicity in the local paper, there were many more spectators, who probably don't know the casual rules (or more so curtesies) that usually need not be said... about taking your rubbish with you ...as well as not necessarily knowing that it is a drug and alcohol free gathering and that rubbish should not even consist of beer bottles etc anyway. So I'm probably having a whinge to the wrong people here, as the usual crowd is on the whole very good... Thankyou to all of you who did take your rubbish with you... or help me with the end of the night clean up. So I agree that the clean up prior... and perhaps after moonfest is an awesome idea. Even if all you can contribute is a handful of rubbish on the way to your car... every bit counts

Autumn Moonfests kick off with .:*MOTHER EARTH MOONFEST, Sunday 7th March …then the date for April will be Monday 5th April (the Monday before the Easter Weekend) and then Tuesday 4th May is the Dusk 'till Dawn moonfest with a moon eclipse at sunrise!*:. Don’t forget cuddly warm things for this one… Now with that eclipse, I can’t actually guarantee anything… I’m not an astrologer, I’m just going by my moon diary that says we should be able to see the early stages of it at sunrise in Aus, N.Z and Asia… So I’m hoping… Moon Diary also says “In South-East Asia a common practice at this time is to make as much noise as possible, banging pots and pans to stop the dragon from eating the moon” (www.moondiary.com.au) Though I don’t suggest we do this, being in suburbia, I do however, feel that the moon-eating-dragon would make a beautiful theme for this one… I think a dusk ‘till dawn moonfest will be amazing… have you all seen the sun rise at Shorncliffe? It’s beautiful!!! I would love to share that treasure with you all.

Loads of love and earthy goodness
