A Meditation for Peace on the Full Moon of Thursday 17th October 2024. The moon is full at 12.26 hours in Britain.

The Anglesey Druid Order invites you to join with us in our thoughts of peace, or hedd in Welsh, for the Full Moon. If you have been to any of the rituals of the Order, you will have heard the word ‘heddwch’ used, which is an active, imperative call for peace, and which confirms the intention that we meet with peace in our hearts. We can put our energy and voices together in seeing peace, understanding and compassion throughout this planet, for all beings, for all life. To strengthen our calls and vision of peace, it would be heartening to light a candle to focus those intentions and for it to represent the light of the Full Moon, which has looked over all places and all life on this beautiful Earth since the beginning of time.

Now, more than ever, since we began posting Full Moon Peace Meditations, we need love and peace in this world. We have war in many places on this planet, human rights violations, a rise in right wing attitudes and intolerance. Have we not learned from the past? We have to start with ourselves though, being peaceful, being loving and compassionate in our own ‘square mile’ of influence and connection and choosing to live with gratitude and joy. Pondering on just what peace means to us at the moment, a quote attributed to the Dalai Lama makes much sense: “Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways.” We cannot always change what is going on somewhere else on this planet but we can change how we choose to live, the ripples flowing out from us are always felt by others.

We can sit and feel, just for a moment, with all of our hearts, for the individuals and communities, human and non-human, who are also wishing for peace. We, who are not directly affected, can then let it go, and end with feeling the power of affirmative visualisation and action. What better time to bring hope and positive intentions out into the world. Even if we can’t see the Moon, for any reason, we know the Moon has an effect on us. It pulls the tides of the deepest oceans, and its powerful energy affects human and animal behaviour and mood; affecting the way medicines and vitamins react within our systems; interrupting sleep and affecting our minds, and our body’s organs – an ideal time to bring that heightened awareness to focus on peace and on love.

Branwen’s story is brought to mind with this situation. In the second branch of the Mabinogi she had the role of matriarch and peace weaver in her family, a giver of wise counsel. To some she is a war Goddess. To Her, it was imperative that peaceful solutions were found to prevent or end war. Branwen is also a Goddess who can be called to when emotional support is needed, she who had experienced such loss through acts of treachery and war, as so many lives may be facing now, in some parts of this world.

There is a place where we can all meet on the inner planes, where we can picture friends and loved ones, or even those unknown to us, human or non-human - and be with them, to wish for peace. The Anglesey Druid Order has given the name of Yr Aelwyd, pronounced as Uhrr Ale(as in beer)wid, meaning the hearth fire, to describe a loving and warm, sacred meeting place. It is a place of the heart, a place where we meet beloved companions before setting off on magical intent, meditations and travels on the inner landscapes.

If you would like to follow our meditation, please prepare your meditation space as you feel is right. You may wish to light a candle to represent peace, and to represent the light of the Full Moon – giving a focus for our peaceful intentions. Make yourself comfortable, and you may want to close your eyes. Imagine the faces of those people or beings you often think about, as if you were sitting around a huge fire together. This is Yr Aelwyd. Picture as many of your loved ones as you can, greeting them and feeling their essence as you draw close to them. Try to feel a connection with each of them as your view sweeps around the circle and the warm glow of the fire lights up their faces. Tell them how much you are thinking of them, call out their names, let them know they are remembered. Feel in that sacred place the threads of love and memory that connect us all.

Settle and centre yourself, by taking one deep breath with the Land beneath you, feeling grateful for all that the Land provides - its fertility, the plants, trees, animals and minerals. Feel you are vibrating with the energy of the Land.

Take one deep breath with the Sky above you, feeling the air rush into your lungs, feeling grateful for the light and the darkness. Feel the air bring clarity to your thoughts and ideas, bringing scent, sound, creativity and expression to your life.

Take one deep breath with the Seas around the Land, feeling gratitude for the protection of our shores by the waves, feeling the healing and cleansing life-giving waters. Feel the turbulence of the Seas calm, providing a safe harbour.

Picture Yr Aelwyd and the group around the fire, with the full Moon shining down on everyone. Into this circle you may wish to call to Branwen as Peace Weaver, Ancestress, Wise One to join you, to bring Her counsel to your thoughts and to bring a call for peace into the world. Welcome Branwen to Yr Aelwyd. You feel peace descending on the group, voices still, and you notice the sound of your breathing, and the sound of your heart beating.

For a few moments listen to your breathing. Follow the breath in, and out again. Bring to mind a time when you were relaxed, feeling love, feeling peaceful, and breathe slowly and deeply, in and out.

As your breath continues, in and out, feel that your breath is not only flowing in and out of the lungs in your chest, but flowing in and out of your heart, and with every breath in, you are expanding your heart, and your capacity to love. With every breath out, you are sending that love through your body, out to Branwen and all the others around Yr Aelwyd, and out into the world with the loving, peaceful intentions of heddwch.

As you continue to breathe in and out with your heart, picture yourself connected to Branwen and to the group around Yr Aelwyd, and others all around the world, forming a network of loving, heartfelt intentions of heddwch and well-being. Those intentions, amplified by the light and energy of the full Moon, take love and peace to all people, to all beings of the Earth, heddwch to all life in all places in the realms of Land, Sea and Sky. Stay with this intention as long as you wish to, and feel the loving, peaceful energy circling the planet and coming back to you, so you are held, feeling part of a beautiful community, under the shining light of the full moon. Feel you are filled with that moonlight, complete, calm, peaceful.

When you are ready, shift your awareness away from your heart, so it carries on beating as usual without any particular focus. Shift your awareness away from your breath so it carries on, in and out, as usual, and once again, picturing Branwen and your loved ones around the fire. Spend a few moments together, giving thanks for the feelings of love around Yr Aelwyd, saying your farewells, then when you are ready, feel yourself walking away from the fire into the darkness and come back to the room where you started your meditation from. You may want to end with gratitude to the Gods and the beings who are with you on your journeys, to all your companions, and to the energy of the Moon, and you may wish to make affirmations of peace. “Heddwch”. “There is peace within, there is peace without, there is peace throughout the world”. Make sure you have ‘returned’ from your meditation and have closed the doors to the inner planes.

Thank you for joining in. You may find it useful to have something to eat and drink, to ground that energy back into your body again. Wishing you all a very peaceful, beautiful month ahead.

A meditation for peace on the full moon of Tuesday 1st August 2023. The moon is full in Britain at 19.31 hours.

The moon is full on the day many people celebrate the first of the three harvests in the year. The second harvest is marked at the Autumn Equinox and the third harvest at Calan Gaeaf, or Samhain. In Wales, and in the Anglesey Druid Order, we call this first harvest time Gŵyl Awst, or August Festival. It is also known as Lammas, from Loaf Mass in Anglo Saxon, and as Lughnasadh in Ireland, linking the time of the year with the production of food, and with light. The light of the full super moon will shine down on grateful people on the land, who have been gathering in the grain harvest in recent weeks, whilst dodging the rain showers and cool winds that have felt so unseasonable in Britain. This is the second super moon of four in a row. There is another full moon at the end of August, making a ‘blue’ super moon, then the last super moon is towards the end of September. The elliptical nature of the moon’s orbit does sometimes result in the moon being closer to the Earth than usual, so it appears larger and brighter. Hopefully the clouds will clear and we will see for ourselves!

At one time Ynys Môn, or Anglesey, was known as the bread basket of Wales, due to the fertility of the fields and ideal weather conditions for growing. That fertility became associated with a mother Goddess, Môn, and Her role of feeding the people led to Môn being referred to as Mam Cymru - Mother of Wales, and Nain y Byd - Grandmother of the World. Out on the land, depending where one is and what the weather has been like, it might vary tremendously when the harvests are ripe and ready to be gathered in. Through our Mam Cymru, Môn, we can acknowledge and celebrate the nurturing, abundant aspects of the land, the culmination of the seed’s journey when given what it needs to grow and ripen. We can also acknowledge sacrifice, such as in the story of John Barleycorn, and the ending of a cycle - the cutting down of the crops, while at the same time creating the seeds that will bring the next harvest, the continuing lineage.

Within our own lives we can understand the concept of having planted seeds for what we are harvesting now. Although we are encouraged in some spiritual traditions to ‘be in the moment’ we need to take care of ourselves and our families by thinking ahead, preparing for the future, however much an unknown future it might be. We do look ahead, we save for a rainy day if we can, so that we can then let go of those thoughts and any anxiety, and can be in the moment more often. As part of harvesting the results of the plans we have made, whether it be a harvest of fruit, vegetables and herbs, or whether it be harvesting the results of study and hard work when we complete a job or a course, or even when we finish reading a book that has inspired us, there is gratitude all wrapped up in that. Harvest festivals have long been associated with this time of year, linked with gratitude of the whole community knowing there is food and medicine for the winter. That feeling of security adds greatly to peace within the community, the home, and within ourselves as individuals. Harvesting the bounty of the land reflects the peace and stability of that society and of the people whose labour does the hard work of sowing, caring for and gathering in the crops. Where there is war there is little opportunity to feel that comfort.

As well as the grain harvest, we have an abundance of wild flowers and plants in the hedgerows and in verges of roads and paths to harvest now too. Useful medicinal herbs, such as Motherwort; Betony; Nettle; Vervain; Joe Pye W**d; Agrimony; Rosebay Willow Herb; Mugwort and Meadowsweet are being harvested now, whilst flowering, to use fresh or to dry ready for tinctures and infusions, for teas; decoctions and balms, for use over the autumn and winter when the warmth of the summer has faded but the energy of that warmth is preserved for us to use in later months. So many beautiful and useful wild flowers arrive in our gardens, on waste ground in our cities, and in rural places, that can be used magically and medicinally, for dyes or for food. Accurate identification is vital – some can be toxic and have contraindications for some people or animals. And, of course, we are also harvesting the vegetables, soft fruit and salad crops that we can grow ourselves - in pots, on a window ledge or balcony if we don’t have a garden. It is sad that, due to rising costs, there are people who are struggling to feed their families, and perhaps growing our own food, or growing food together within our communities could make a real difference to our own food security.

On this super moon we are thinking about harvest, and gratitude, not just for the food on our tables but for all we have in our lives and what is coming to fruition for us this year. Harvest also brings to mind aspects of endings and beginnings, sacrifice and sovereignty, all of which contribute to how secure we feel in our own world, and which contributes to the feeling of inner peace. Of course, there are many aspects to peace in our own thoughts and emotions and in our journeys through life. Following a spiritual path that we have been called to and having the freedom to do that without censure or prohibition is something to celebrate with gratitude. Not so long ago many of us would have been in trouble for pagan beliefs and practices, and, sadly, there are still many in the world who cannot have that expectation of being able to peacefully follow their hearts.

This feels like an opportunity to go within and to really focus on what peace and gratitude means to you personally. We usually join together with others on the inner planes and we meet at Yr Aelwyd, the hearth fire, as a place between the worlds, so this full moon post is a little different. To begin with, you may simply want to light a candle to represent the light of the full moon. Focus on it - perhaps the most straight forward magical act - to call into it the energy of peaceful gratitude you feel you would like to see manifest, and to express that inwardly and then outwardly, to radiate into the world. Feel that candle light filling you with those intentions before your breath and the winds carry them out into the world.

To really feel connected to your intention and to settle and centre yourself, take one deep breath with the land beneath you, feeling grateful for all that the land provides, its fertility, the plants, trees, animals, insects and minerals. Feel the vibration of the energy of the land. You are here, now.

Take one deep breath with the seas around the land, feeling gratitude for the protection of our shores by the waves, feeling the healing and cleansing life-giving waters. Feel the turbulence of the seas calm, providing a safe harbour. You are here, now.

Take one deep breath with the sky above you, feeling the air rush into your lungs, feeling grateful for the light of the full moon and the darkness of the sky. Feel the air bring clarity to your thoughts and ideas, bringing scent, sound, creativity and expression to your life. You are here, now.

The full moon is a symbol of completion of a cycle, culmination, just as harvest is. What is next for you? As you consider the flame of your candle that represents the light of the full moon, or ponder on the actual moon if you are blessed with seeing her, consider your intent for meditation or visualisation, to contemplate harvest, celebration and gratitude, not just for the food on our tables but for all we have in our lives and what is coming to fruition for us this year. Is there anyone in particular you need to thank for their nurturing of you? Harvest also brings to mind aspects of endings and beginnings, sacrifice and sovereignty. How does that relate to you and the cycles of your life journey? You might use divination as part of your reflections.

As you complete your musings, feel or imagine the light of the full moon flow through your body from head to toe and enjoy that connection before making notes and closing the doors to the inner planes. Make sure you are fully back where you started your meditation from and ground that energy into your body through movement, or snacks! Thank you for joining in. A blessed Gŵyl Awst to you.
