January 26th - Under the Waxing Gibbous Moon
Physical Setting: Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably. If possible, gather these items: a rainbow-colored cloth or crystal, a small bowl of water, and three white candles. Arrange them in a triangle around you. If outdoors, sit near a tree or flowering plant.
Opening - Calling to the Mother
Breathe deeply and ground yourself to the earth beneath you
"A Mhàthair na Talmhainn, èist ri mo ghuth" (Oh Mother of Earth, hear my voice)
"A' gairm air do ghràdh gun chrìch" (Calling upon your endless love)
"Mar a tha gach dath san bogha-froise" (As each color in the rainbow)
"Tha sinn uile nam pàirt de do ghràdh" (We are all part of your love)
Body - The Healing Circle
Place your hands palms up on your knees, visualizing rainbow light flowing through them
"Tha sinn ag iarraidh slàinte" (We seek healing)
"Chan ann airson aon ach airson na h-uile" (Not for one but for all)
"Mar a tha gach duilleag air a' chraoibh" (As each leaf upon the tree)
"Tha gach anam luachmhor dhut" (Each soul is precious to you)
Visualize the Mother's healing energy as a rainbow light, embracing all those who have faced rejection, fear, or hatred
"O Mhàthair, cuir do ghràdh" (Oh Mother, send your love)
"Gu gach cridhe briste" (To each broken heart)
"Mar an abhainn a' sruthadh" (Like the flowing river)
"Le gràdh gun chumhachan" (With love without conditions)
Closing - The Binding of Love
Draw your hands to your heart, then open them outward as if releasing light
"Tha sinn uile ceangailte" (We are all connected)
"Ann an cuairt do ghràidh" (In your circle of love)
"Mar an solus a' dannsa" (Like the dancing light)
"Anns gach dath den bogha-froise" (In each color of the rainbow)
Afterthought
Reflect on this question: How can I embody the Mother's unconditional acceptance in my interactions with others today? How might I help create sacred space where all souls feel welcomed and cherished as the unique expressions of divine love that they are?
Remember: As the Mother embraces all of nature's diversity, so too must we embrace the beautiful diversity of human hearts and souls.
