Doing a full moon ritual or a ceremony are sacred practices that date back to ancient times. These moon rituals are found in almost every ancient culture where worshiping the moon was part of their culture as we have seen in Celtic traditions, Babylonian, Egyptian, to Shinto in Japan and more.
There is tremendous power in learning to harness – what I like to call – moon magic, which is the energies, flows, rhythms. However, like anything else, this is NOT a one shot deal and poof, it’s magic. It takes dedication in learning these sacred rituals, implementing them, getting into vibrational alignment with them, and more.
The moon is our teacher and we are her students. Over time, we learn how work WITH these natural flows and rhythms in all her phases. Tuning into these phases of the moon can help provide us with a framework or guide to work from. This can be immensely empowering.
Working with the moon in a ritualistic or ceremonial way is needed more than ever in our technological driven culture that is ever increasingly losing connection to the greatest influencers, creators, and destroyers in life – the moon, father sun and mother earth.
What Does The Full Moon Represent?

This is when the moon is at its peak energy – a time where there is a build up of energy accumulated – both illuminating and shadowy – light and dark.
She represents the receptive energies or what others might call the feminine.
She reflects back to us a strong full illumination from the sun where she is the brightest. She highlights all that needs to be illuminated in your life in this lunar cycle. This is where the energies are most potent and a time for strong creative and intuitive influxes.
The full moon is all about endings and completions of a cycle and in this case the lunar cycle. This is a good time to:
reflect
evaluate
access
cleanse
recharge
Here are three things to consider when doing a full moon ritual
1) Focus on what you have done in the past 28-30 days. What transpired in this time? Where are you stuck? Reflect. How have you utilized the energies in this lunar cycle?
2) What have you reaped – gained? Reflect.
3) What needs to be leg go of? Purified? Cleansed? Reflect.

Preparations For Full Moon Rituals
This is a great time to take a hard look at what has come into fruition and what has not.
It is a time to get quiet, connect, and honor the sacredness of the moon, all she offers us and the other elementals harnessed. Implementing these rituals should show clear respect with proper cultural appropriation.
This includes asking for permission of the ancestors of the land you occupy to guide you. For me, that would be asking permission from the Massachusett People, the original stewards of this land I reside on, to be here. Asking the ancestors forgiveness for those who may have come before me and asking for them guide me today in this sacred ritual so I may become a better steward for all future generations to come.
Here are additional tips to prepare:
1) Get centered & calm – so yes, meditate in preparation
2) Write it out – (see three things to consider when doing a full moon ritual above for prompts)
3) Take a sacred bath – you can use epsom salt or Himalayan salts with some herbals like roses, lavender or essential oils. The intention here is asking the moon and waters to cleanse and purify the mind, body, and spirit.

Here are 7 simple rituals to maximize the full moon energies.
1) Cleanse – Clear, cleanse, purify your mental and physical space. Clean out those closets. If you choose to smudge, please consider avoid using white sage or palo santo due to the increasing poaching of these items leading to imbalances.
2) Put out a bowl of moon water. Let the bowl of water bask in the radiance of the full moon energies. Create intentions and rituals. Sip it daily as a reminder of the intentions created and the full power of the moon.
3) Releasing Ritual – Write whatever you wish to release, let go of on a small piece of paper. Whatever you wrote down, you can say a prayer, intention, or the like. Then with things you want to release either place in a bowl of water and sprinkle pink Himalayan salt to purify/cleanse or burn in a ceremonial sacred fire.
4) Meditate – This is one of the most important things you can learn, do, and incorporate as part of your daily rituals. This is the space we can access the wisdom and answers we seek. However, this is NOT something you want to initiate on a full moon as a new practice if you have not already been practicing meditation.
5) Dance – Physical release is a good way to purge stuck energies that need to move and filter out.
6) Gratitude Ritual– Write whatever you wish to be grateful for – successes, opportunities, etc on a small piece of paper. Whatever you wrote down, you can say a prayer, intention, or the like. Then bury it in the garden and wait til the next new moon to plant any seeds and watch what grows.
7) Charge your stones/crystals – Put them in the moonlight to bask in the energies of the full moon to cleanse, charge, and purify these stones and crystals.
Approach these rituals from a soulful place and less from the egoic earthly place with honor, respect, and sacredness.
You’ll be amazed at what shows up for you when you adopt these flows & cycles into your life. Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment below if you find these tips helpful.
This 2020 review and 2021 energy forecast was recorded LIVE on 1/1/21 during our normally scheduled Mornings with Laura; Spiritual Medicine & Meditation event.
Here is a glimpse of what we talk about.
We reviewed the 2020 energies and themes that played out throughout the year.
Numerology for the day 1/1/21: 7
2021 Numerology for the year: 5
Today’s Medicine 1/1/21: PAINTED TURTLE
PLUS, a guided meditation with the Tibetan Singing Bowls
The numerology for 2020 was a 4 year – a “work” year as talked about throughout the year in our LIVE events as well as throughout the blog posts posted throughout the year as well.
What does this mean – a “work” year? We have a leveling out that happened in 2020 between the ego/material world and the soul/spiritual realm. This means that:
shadows revealed
trauma healing – generational, past life, personal
karmic debt
no longer able to spiritually bypass without consequences
The deep hard stuff was in our face and we were forced to face it. Clearly 2020 was no joke. However, if you think 2021 will be a walk in the park, you might be in for a rude awakening.
The Beetle – The Past Lessons
The focus was on the “earth” elements, cocooning, and restoring balance of life.
This was reflected in the “Beetle” card pulled which is associated with the water element, the 7 of cups in tarot which highlighted the need to face necessary decisions.
In 2020 we discovered the need for stronger partnership with plant and herbal medicine and stewardship of our great Mother Earth.
We discovered the importance of grounding, centering, tapping into ancestral work/wisdom, decolonization work, and social justice.
(A complete list of 2020 reports at the bottom).
We have been learning how to balance the yin/yang, light/dark as we evolve into a new era of human evolution.
This years surrender influence: SURRENDER DEFENSIVENESS
Now before you all get defensive – hahahahaha – take a pause and process without judgment. See what shows up for you as you go through the meditation portion in the video.
“Defensiveness is a sign of weakness. To communicate in a more empowered way, stay centered and hear someone out – then offer a clear, non defensive response.”
The Painted Turtle – The Present Moments
In 2021, we move into integration as brought to us by the painted turtle which is associated with the fire element and the 6 of wands in tarot.
The painted turtle is showing us to continue with what we set out in motion in2020 with the lessons of the beetle. Through all this good stuff will commence this year.
Themes of working together in groups or collaboration is important. It is key to be less “me” or “I” and more “we”, which is a very Aquarian age theme moving forward anyway.
The rewards are NOT without continued strong effort. These efforts will begin to see the payoff especially over the next 2-3 months – so basically through spring equinox.
What do you want to birth????
The Swan – Moving Forward
The swan in the future position has been showing up repeatedly during our Facebook LIVE events at the end of the year and in the beginning. There is no coincidence here.
Swan is connected to the Temperance (XIV) card in tarot. Over the next 2-3 months, it is important to move forward with the lessons from the prior two cards and implement their teachings.
Be aware of the increase sensitivities into new realms and energies associated with these teachings to be awakening for you. HOWEVER, we can NOT bypass the first 2 lessons of the beetle and turtle to get there.
It is important to pay attention to what shows up for you in the subtle energy realm over the next 2-3 months.
Try new things.
Experiment.
See what shows up without the need to control outcomes or create expectations.
Create and maintain more balance in the elementals – water, air, earth, fire. Yet, do not abandon everything right now either.
Watch the replay for more key information and discussions around what we learned from 2020 and how to move forward in 2021.
Plus, a meditation to help you begin the year centered, clear and balanced
The 2020 Intense Karmic Start and Four Tips To Move Forward – Well in case you missed my January post, 2020 is a massive year for “change” being a four year in numerology in all areas of our life. It is also a “work” year, a year to cultivate our deep inner spirit, and connect with the ancestors for healing and wisdom.
The 444 Psychic Energy Regarding COVID19– what is happening energetically, collectively and spiritually around the COVID19 and what we need to do collectively to move forward.
Spiritual Medicine With Jaguar During Times of Civil Unrest -This has been quite the spiritual journey in the depths of the shadow realm this year, and there is a LOT surfacing personally, collectively, karmicly, and generationally in the first 6 months amidst a COVID19 outbreak with growing protests & civil unrest. A spiritual message is born.
We will talk about what has been happening w/ a summary in the areas of
Numerology
Mercury Retrograde
Mars Retrograde
Recent Space Weather events
Recent electrical events on Earth
Tomorrow’s Full Moon
How Halloween factors in all this
AND 5 TIPS on where to focus NOW
My goal with this post is to provide some energetic psychic insight to what is happening from as pure of a state as possible while giving spiritual guidance on how to navigate these polarizing energies while balancing any triggers we may encounter along the way.
This year has kicked our rears to no end. Many of us feel like we are about to break wondering when will all this end? Are you feeling this?
Various folks in the spiritual communities are saying we are experiencing what is called the “dark night of the soul”, but do we really know what this means?
If you are wondering what the heck is going on in the air????

I define what the phrase “dark night of the soul” means
I am here for you & to support you through this … what some see as isolation, confinement or quarantine … I see as cocooning.
Many of us mystics have been warning & preparing us for these times building up until now and there have been many prophecies foretold over the years.
We have a choice.
If you say we don’t, we do. We have a choice to go outside or not. We have a choice to be mindful of our actions or not. We have a choice to use hurtful words or kind words. We have a choice to find opportunities, potentialities, and possibilities in chaos.
Let us … all the spiritual people who have been apprenticing for decades for these times … help you navigate these changes.
Join us VIRTUALLY in the comforts of your home for some virtual love, spiritual guidance, energy updates and meditation and more as we navigate these shifts together.

My heart is aching as I continue to find my place in this world. This has been quite the spiritual journey in the depths of the shadow realm this year, and there is a LOT surfacing personally, collectively, karmicly, and generationally in the first 6 months amidst a COVID19 outbreak with growing protests & civil unrest.
A spiritual message is born.
We are going now into our 12th week broadcasting LIVE: 3x a week in our Facebook group (free to join); 1x a week in the Web of Love on Zoom; 1x a week for Jikiden Reiki Practitioners on Zoom.
Each week, I have been consistently offering extra support, spiritual guidance, spiritual medicine, Gokai, meditation, and movement. We have learned so much in these gatherings.
In this post, I will talk about:
What We Have Learned So Far
My Premonition 10 Years Ago
My 2020 Forecast
Then COVID Happened – The spirit message
The Current Civic Unrest – what it means spiritually and energetically
The Culmination – A string of energetic, solar events, protests and other events on Friday 5/29/20
Spiritual Medicine with Jaguar
Here is what we have learned so far:
reaching out through the virtual world can be powerful medicine
coming together as a group through the virtual world can be powerful medicine
“Trust our instincts” and “ego destruction” has been consistent messages we have been seeing play out throughout our 12 weeks together
For me – I have learned to trust my premonitions and spiritual guidance and NOT try to pretend to make what I see better than it really is.
My premonition
I had a vision that began over 10 years ago. Obama was running for President at the time. I recall when I first talked about what I saw during a private psychic medium party I was asked to give guidance to the attendees. At the end of the event, I was asked what I saw coming, and I recall saying, there is a code, if we see difficult times ahead, we try not to feed it, but try to adjust to it for spiritual growth.
What I saw – I said I feel war coming on our soil. I did not know what or how at the time. I sat with this for quite some time. I mentioned that I felt it would be bigger than 9/11, but unsure of time frame or how.
That was the beginning, as time went on, my vision has NOT waived, and it actually got clearer.
About 3 years ago, I sat in ceremony with some very deeply connected and rooted spiritual friends. The vision I had was quite disturbing. I saw red skies at night and people running around screaming. I heard “you are going to see a lot of this. Do not get off your path”.
It was shortly thereafter, I saw a war being waged a different kind of war. The clarity came in. I did not see bombs and was told this is not the same kind of weapons. I saw the use of technology and bio-weaponry being used.
My January 2020 forecast was difficult for me to write. It came in 2 parts as I felt something quite disruptive trying to emerge that I struggled with for over two weeks trying to find a way to make this a positive forecast for folks.
As January moved forward everything I was feeling was coming into play.
Click here for my 2020 Forecast with three things 2019 taught us and three things to know to navigate in 2020 and click here for the updated forecast with the karmic kicker with four tips to move forward posted at the end of January 2020.
Then COVID Happened
We got blindsided. It did not matter how prepared we were, this took the average person by surprise. Those in a position of power knew about this virus in advance. Check out my COVID forecast here.
In the beginning, I found myself highly triggered and my fight/flight/freeze response kicked into HIGH gear. I had to sit with this. Then I wrote my response to what was happening from a TRAUMA perspective where I talked about facing the shadows & healing during Covid.
This was an invitation to hope, healing and guidance during some very challenging times of cocooning.
I told a story that is relative to what is happening all around me with the growing mental health crisis I am witnessing before my eyes and hoped it will shed light for someone who needed it.
THE CURRENT CIVIC UNREST
We are six months into 2020 and things keep spiraling out of control with greater velocity.
I am witnessing so many folks highly charged & triggered with much surfacing out of the depths from the shadows on so many fronts. Instead of addressing what is surfacing, folks are resorting to very toxic egoic reactionary triggered behavior.
The current energetic climate is amplifying what’s already there.
Addictions up.
Suicides up.
Violence up.
Domestic Violence up.
Racist attacks UP.
We, in New England, forget how women were burned at the stakes for simply loving nature and having a connection to plant medicine. Then we have the indigenous who were brutally genocidally massacred. The Wampanoag are who greeted the first white man are now being faced with LOSING THEIR LANDS FEDERALLY.
The soil we reside on is riddled with many centuries worth of oppression, trauma, rooted in a colonized mindset model buried deep in the subconscious DNA of the collective birthed from the very soil we’ve tainted and poisoned.
We need to be mindful of what triggers surface for us as we move forward. We need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Pronto.
Struggling?
Call in the appropriate help whether a mental health counselor or
Hire a BIPOC coach to help you understand your own white privilege, white fragility and want to learn how to unpack your stuff
Please do NOT escalate what’s bubbling inside to violence, oppression and hate.
We all must do the inner work being REQUIRED of us. There is NO avoiding it as talked about CONSISTENTLY in almost every post in recent years.
The Culmination
Then CAME THIS message Friday, 5/29/20 with pieces to the puzzle coming together with interesting updates:
The date: 5/29/20 = 2 in numerology = balance/duality/change in a closing of a chapter
In light of what’s happening especially in USA today with protests, rallies and the arrest of Officer Chauvin.
Lions gate jellyfish suddenly washing up on our shores TODAY on the beach by me. These things apparently pack quite the sting.
NASA cams suddenly went down today 15min prior to a big solar event.
Emotions especially anxiety/ptsd type, fatigue/energy challenges and sleep issues were affected. I now know why.
Finally … The sun threw its FIRST BIG SOLAR M CLASS FLARE TODAY in years since 2017.
And Schumann’s resonance jumped up to an amplitude over 60 – The Chart was not easily able to read that day.
This is big.
There’s lots to process and digest just with this.
Today’s Spiritual Medicine With Jaguar
Here is a quick highlight from this morning’s FB Live – bridging all this together. I apologize for low sound quality. I am unsure how to boost that for you.

About Robin and Rabbit
Where do we go from here?
Do we continue resisting what the divine whispers aka soul whispers within are guiding for us?
Do we give in to our triggers, rage, anger, worry?
Do we finally buckle up our bootstraps and face our shadows with courage knowing this is the ONLY way through?
Remember, what we see externally is only a mere reflection of what is internal. Go inside, and you will find the super powers that reside ready to be unleashed when you beckon the call.
In the meantime, can we at least start with a discussion in the comments below???
Let me know your thoughts on this post.
