drawing down the moon
For some reason I always find myself drawn to the moon in my greatest times of adversity…. seeking solace in the Mother Goddess maybe….. perhaps some ritual remnant of pagan ancestors…..
Either way, it soothes me.
The ritual known as Drawing Down the Moon is the Wiccan/pagan ritual of drawing the spirit of the Goddess/moon into the practitioner to enable the Goddess to speak directly through this person.
It is a very sacred ritual amongst followers of this faith.

Jen Ryan
There is a book with the same name. have you read it? Lovely image! Instant fave!!! ;)
Rosemary Scott replied
Glad you like it Jen.
I’m not familiar with the book, but this image is about the Wiccan/contemporary pagan ritual of drawing the spirit of the goddess/moon into the practitioner. It is apparently a very sacred ritual amongst followers of this faith.
I should probably add this to my description…
Jen Ryan
Yep! The book is about the same thing. I have had it on my shelf for like a year and haven’t read much of it yet. I have been interested in this for a while…on a spiritual journey myself.
Rosemary Scott replied
Thanks for that Jen. There’s lots of books out there on this subject…. makes for interesting reading….. especially if you’re still trying to find where your faith lies :))
