This lovely day of Harvest begins upon a Full Moon in Aquarius. Caught up with all the rituals of the full moon in alignment with Lugh, I combined intentions and created a ritual day full of celebration to the relief of accomplishment. It has been a vigorous and difficult journey so far. However, our toughest battles are because the stakes are high. I leaned into a dreamy state of mediation and rest this First Day of Harvest. I relaxed on the feast, on all activities truly. I focused on a sense of detachment to observe all I have overcome, all I have achieved and sat in a dream state of gratitude for all I have manifested. I was overwhelmed with gratitude and an understanding that I did very well for myself. I won the war. A true battle of a deep weakness conditioned within me. A battle of my masculine, of my emotions and true self expression as All I Know I Am.
I sat in my comforts and ignored any distraction of stress, doubt and fear. I poured my magick into myself and detached from anyone or anything that may wish to benefit from my power. It was the most selfless act of self love I have ever provided for myself. I have chosen me above all else. I no longer play mediator to false, corrupt systemic cronies. I am the Queen, the leader of my own realm, my own inner world. This cannot be taken from me. This is my story, this is my truth. I removed myself from any sense of business that was conformative to the system I was sent here to destroy. I am truly designing all aspects of my life to be by my power and my hand. I have a sense of trust to be taken care of as I pave this path for myself in hopes others follow for themselves. I do not desire any form of fame or collective power. I wish to guide others peacefully to find this sense of independence for themselves. I wish to change the dogma of the world from one of victimhood to one of self evolution. Realign with the teachings of our ancestors. Achieve our soul mission and destiny of something larger than ourselves and this one particular area of the galaxy. We are not meant to be enslaved to one space, time or dimension. But travelers of an infinite All being reality.
With that being said, I took a few micro grammy grams of some mushies. I lit handcrafted candles with the intuitive intent for this very moment. I rested, I enjoyed childhood favorites and I processed all that I have blossomed to become. I released my past with gratitude for all she has taught me. I released her with love, to rest in peace, to ride along within me as a golden plaque of self success. I dressed myself with the symbolism of my polytheistic design. I made passionate love to my husband devoting ourselves to ourselves and each other. Individuals dancing into an illusion of One. Offering ourselves of gratitude in the name of our beloved All Father Saturn. Crying in the purest of joys for the beauty and luxury he has bestowed upon us.

I cultivated a fresh Basil Pesto Roasted Italian Chicken offering before my Saturn candle offering. Representing the symbolism of my ancestral Saturnian cults of the great Roman Empire. Basil homegrown by my beloved Queen of the Norse and in honor of Lugh himself. Below is the recipe:
