May 2022 be healing and kind to you. Hold onto the energies of all you want to achieve - for yourself and others. Never mind there have been delays. The world is still young. And so are you. And so is this precious, precious year, when we will do kintsugi with all we've been through. Put together those pieces with golden glue, and watch the beauty of the cracks. All will be well.

In the Witch's den, there are some things you might need.
For example:
A bright red apple. To remember the knowledge of what side to bite into. One is poisonous. One is not.
Red thread. To bind what you want and to make your threads of protection.
A symbol of love. To remind you what is really important.
A little helper.
A word of wisdom.
A stone.

My review of We’Moon 2022 Gaia Rhythms for Women: The Magical Dark
We’Moon 2022 Gaia Rhythms for Women: The Magical Dark
Published by Mother Tongue Ink
I have been using We’Moon’s calendars for years, always inspired by the possibility to organize my life within the framework of art and magic cycles. The We’Moon calendar is an astrological datebook, a moon calendar, and an earth-spirited handbook in natural rhythms.
We’Moon calendars always work around a theme for each year. 2021 marked the completion of We’Moon’s pattern of divining each year’s theme from the Tarot’s 21 Major Arcana cards. With We’Moon 2022, they begin a new thematic cycle, using the eight phases of the Moon as touchstones for the datebook theme.
The theme of We’Moon 2022 is The Magical Dark. It embodies the darkest phase of the moon cycle. I’m not the only one who have spent years now trying to hang in there. Therefore, it feels so right to me that 2022’s calendar is dedicated to something quite different. We’Moon present the theme The Magical Dark as follows:
“Here in the darkened pause are the dream seeds, the letting go, and the gearing up for a whole new cycle soon to begin.”
It is significant that apart from starting a new cycle overall, the set-up of this theme took place pre-pandemic. Somehow you can feel that. Nevertheless, 2022 calendar is curiously timely. It is what we need now: To rest and to observe. To integrate what we learned and to begin from new deep dreams.
As always this is the work of an array of talented artists, writers and layout artists. I look forward to a year of delving into the unknown of deep magic.
