The Lunar Queen

She of the Celestial Crescent

There is a deep feminine wisdom that recognizes the importance of cycles of rest and replenishment as essential balancing to our actions of power and demonstration. You are asked to allow this replenishment for yourself now, trusting that you are in a cycle of creation that is about to shift into a new phase. Release and enjoy the process without having to control or force it.

Isis as Lunar Queen, understands the cycles of creative power and flow. Sometimes it can be heard to let go of a desire to force, control and make things happen, to exert might and will power to bring what you wish for into being by sheer determination, exertion and force. Yet the vast creative power of the feminine principle is in honoring and flowing with cycles of activity and rest, of releasing force and surrendering into the perfection of what is happening right now, realizing that this actually brings us Divine manifestation and creation more effortlessly and gracefully and to greater effect!

The Celestial Crescent is the Moon in her changing form. This Oracle comes to you at a time when you are shifting from one phase in your spiritual and creative journey into  new phase. This is a time to pay deep attention to the messages of your body and allow them to guide you. Do you need to balance your activity with more rest? Do you need to be actively creating, but from a more relaxed and allowing rather than demanding or forceful mental state? Or is it time for you to spring into action once more? Has the time come to take a step forward? Pay attention to any other card that you draw with The Lunar Queen to more fully understand which phase is most appropriate for you now. These cards will help you connect with your inner wisdom and the guidance of your own body wisdom for the greatest timing and unfoldment of your manifestation. Remember, sometimes more time in the oven prevents an undercooked meal! Sometimes we just need to wait a little longer.

The quiet times are dark moon energies, the times when you will sense from your inner wisdom, your body wisdom, that you are in need of replenishing and percolation.

The other times, when you feel the inner oven timer has rung and it is time to get that delicious meal on the table, your body will urge you to dance, to act, to communicate, to be bold and take steps. These are full moon energies.

Your body will help you know where you are at and what you need. The flow between the dark moon and full moon and all phases in between is constant. In allowing that flow, even several times in a day or an hour, you will maximize your creativity and allow your life to manifest creative project after creative project, should you so choose. You will feel great inner harmony, wellness and connection.

This Oracle is also a reminder that this feminine wisdom is not widely accepted in Western culture as yet, with its distorted view of what constitutes productive behavior. The Lunar Queen is quite radical! You will need to really believe in your own wisdoms and give yourself great support and trust your own body wisdom as you learn to operate in this more intuitive, flexible, responsive, feminine way. The Oracle tells you that Lady Isis and the spiritual guidance that cares for you completely encourages and supports you in being strong and giving yourself absolute permission to rest when needed, to honor your creative cycles for the greatest productivity and quality.

If you have been wanting to create something or feel frustrated in your creative enterprises, the Lunar Queen also contains the message for you that something creative is within you and wanting to emerge. It is stirring in your unconscious and soon it will be reflected more clearly back to you and you shall be able to act, but for now, have patience. There can be much inner work required before the relatively swift outer work of bringing the creative impulse into firm even begins! Such is the natural creative flow at times.

If you are already in flow and want to know if this is the time to really let go and shine, like the gorgeous full moon, the answer is yes. Trust and know that you are being guided by your own inner wisdoms and supported by She of the Celestial Crescent, the Lunar Queen Lady Isis.

Healing with She of the Celestial Crescent

Rest quietly in a space where you will not be disturbed and close your eyes.

Imagine that you can travel behind your eyes, and find a vast, black, open, endless space there. Deeper and deeper you travel within, following the movement of the breath and going further within your own vast awareness, away from the everyday world.

In the darkness of your own inner vastness, there is the soft light of a crescent moon.

You sense the soft outlines of its glow, as it makes an arc-like movement, growing in size from a slight Crescent Moon towards fullness until it is a softly glowing disc of the full moon in the sky.

Feel the joyful light of the full moon.

You notice that the moon begins its next phase, decreasing slowly to a tiny slither in the sky once more, and then apparently disappearing altogether as a dark moon, not visible at all.

Then the process starts again. Observe the process, feeling it, seeing it, sensing it and affirming it within your own being. Feel the peace that you sense within you as you realize the regularity of the moon phases. No force is required, they just happen.

When you are ready, become aware of your forehead. Imagine that there is a crescent moon resting on your forehead for a moment.

And then simply focus on your breathing, becoming aware of your body once more. When you are ready, just open your eyes.

Incantation of the Lunar Queen

You can say this Incantation to begin the Ritual above or as an independent practice to support you when you need the inner strength to give yourself permission to rest, to replenish, to be patient, to allow things to “cook,” to balance rest with activity and to find your inner flow.
