The Worm “Blood” Moon: March’s Full Moon in 2026

The Full Worm Moon reaches its peak on the morning of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 6:38 A.M. ET. This year’s March Moon is especially notable because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse reaches its greatest point at 6:33 A.M. ET—just minutes earlier—and during totality, the Moon can take on a coppery red or orange glow.

You don’t need any special equipment to enjoy this celestial pairing. Simply step outside and watch as the Full Moon changes color over several hours. For a detailed explanation of what’s happening in the sky, see our guide to what happens during a total lunar eclipse.

Totality—when the Moon is fully within Earth’s shadow—lasts from 6:04 A.M. to 7:02 A.M. EST, with the greatest eclipse occurring at 6:33 A.M. EST. See our time zone converter.

Love these old sycamore trees.
They shed their bark.
I always thought they were amazing magical trees.
I have collected and used their bark in rituals of release for strength and courage.
Beautiful trees.
This one really captured my attention last week.
How stark the different colors were.
Living together
How different we all are ?

May we gather the wisdom of the sycamore tree.
Changing as we need too.

The sycamore tree holds deep spiritual meaning as a symbol of strength, protection, and transformation, often representing the ability to rise above challenges. It signifies personal evolution and the shedding of old layers (rebirth), while also acting as a sacred, nurturing space that connects earthly life with the divine.
Core Spiritual Symbolism
Transformation & Rebirth: Due to its shedding bark, the sycamore represents shedding the past, personal growth, and transformation.
Protection & Shelter: Known as a "ghost of the forest" or sacred space, it represents divine protection and a safe harbor during emotional turbulence.
Resilience & Stability: Its deep roots and sturdy nature signify endurance, stability, and the ability to thrive in difficult environments.

Building community

https://www.facebook.com/share/1AqB6ptF4f/

Before forming opinions about others, it is important to pause and think deeply.
Every person carries a unique story that shapes how they see the world. What makes perfect sense in your life might not resonate with someone else’s experiences.
Our journeys, filled with challenges and lessons, mold who we become, but these experiences differ widely from one individual to another. What seems like a clear path for you may appear entirely different to someone else. Without having lived through another person's struggles or joys, understanding their choices can be nearly impossible.
It serves us well to remember that each individual is an exceptional being, with their own set of life events and feelings. By appreciating this, we open our minds to empathy and acceptance, allowing us to connect with others in a meaningful way, rather than rushing to judgment based on our own limited viewpoint ..

The Promise Between Worlds 🌙

In the old way,
every meeting is a teaching,
not an accident.

Some spirits come close
to remind us
that we are part of the wild truth,
not separate from it.

The elders say:
listen with your whole life,
because guidance often arrives
without human words.

Trust is a sacred bridge—
built from patience,
from respect,
from the courage
to stand gently in another’s presence.

When the night feels wide,
remember this:
the Creator speaks
through quiet companions,
and the circle of life
holds us all
in the same breath.

Keeper of the Sacred Breath 🌾

In the beginning,
the earth gave its own body
so the people could remain.

Gratitude is not a word—
it is a way of walking,
a way of taking only what is needed
and leaving the rest for tomorrow.

Some spirits teach abundance
through patience,
through quiet strength
that does not ask to be praised.

The elders say:
remember the ones who carried life
across the hard seasons,
who stood like a promise
between hunger and hope.

To honor them
is to live with respect,
to keep the circle unbroken,
and to breathe
as if every breath
is borrowed from something sacred.

Song of the Sky Messenger

In the old way of listening,
the world speaks without words.
A small spirit carries prayers
where hands cannot reach.

Gold is not wealth—
it is the warmth of ancestors
reminding us:
light is a responsibility.

The sky teaches patience,
the heart learns quiet courage,
and every breath becomes
a sacred promise to continue.

We are not alone in our journey—
the unseen walks beside us,
guiding us gently
back to harmony.

Many Imbolc Blessings
Blessings for the light.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D6L8kmbHU/

Sunday February 1st 2026
Today is the Gaelic Festival of Imbolc, or St. Brigid's Day.

It marks the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. Rooted in ancient Gaelic traditions, this festival symbolises the awakening of the Earth from its Winter slumber and the anticipation of Spring's arrival.
Imbolc has its origins in Celtic paganism and is deeply connected to the goddess Brigid, who is associated with Spring, fertility, healing, and poetry. The festival is believed to have been observed for thousands of years, celebrating the changing seasons and the promise of new life. As Christianity spread through Ireland and beyond, the pagan celebration appears to have been seamlessly merged with the feast day of St. Brigid, a prominent Irish saint known for her compassion and generosity.

Imbolc is typically celebrated on February 1st or 2nd, aligning with the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. This timing reflects the ancient agricultural importance of preparing for the upcoming planting season, as well as the growing strength of the Sun, symbolising the return of longer days and warmer temperatures.

One of the most iconic symbols associated with Imbolc is Brigid's Cross, woven from reeds or straw. This cross is traditionally placed above doorways to invoke the protection of the goddess. Imbolc is also often celebrated with the lighting of candles, symbolising the returning light and warmth of the sun. Some households keep a flame burning throughout the night as a representation of Brigid's eternal fire.

Embracing the Wisdom of the Seasons
Imbolc and the veneration of St. Brigid remind us of the importance of patience, renewal, and tending to both the outer and inner landscapes. Just as the Earth slowly awakens from Winter’s slumber, we too can take this time to set intentions, cultivate warmth, and prepare for the blossoming of new possibilities. In reconnecting with nature, we not only honour the past but also create a more harmonious and mindful future. Imbolc is a time for purification and renewal. Homes are thoroughly cleaned, and clutter is removed to make way for the energy of the approaching Spring. Foods such as dairy products and grains are often incorporated into Imbolc feasts, symbolising the sustenance and fertility of the land.

Imbolc also invites us to reconnect with nature, embrace the changing seasons, and honour the enduring spirit of renewal. Whether through ancient rituals or modern celebrations, this Gaelic festival continues to weave a rich tapestry of tradition, connecting us to our roots and fostering a sense of community as we eagerly await the coming of Spring.
