Happy Celtic New Year November 15th

11/11/2020

0 Comments

 
The Dark Moon of Samhain is on Sunday 15th of November 2020 – when the Bright star Tlachtga, the Sun and the invisible Moon all set in the west at the same time. To help explain this two are shown here

1) the alignment of the Star, Sun, Moon and Earth from a side view and
2) the direct view as if from Tara showing the alignment of the Star, Sun, Moon to the Earth as they set together on the west horizon.

The ancient druí were astronomers and they studied the movements of the 'heavenly bodies' with a focus on special events. The helical setting of the Bright Star we call Tlachtga (Antares in Scorpio) is one of those special events as the Star gets to shine briefly just after the Sun sets and then it too disappears below the horizon. The energy / light from the Star goes around the Sun and their combined energy goes around the Dark Moon – each 'goes around' increases the vibration / frequency and their combined triple energies make land at Tlachtga at the edge of dusk.

Due to prevailing circumstances we will not hold our open public traditional Celtic New Year Pilgrimage Gathering in 2020. In its place we suggest two options for individual pilgrimage to a “Meeting place of the Three Realms” close to where each of us live.
1) For those who can get out to the seaside, a lake or a river at sunset on Sunday 15th of November 2020; your pilgrimage is to a “Meeting place of the Three Realms” do your triple blessings before the darkness is total and say the goddess's name TLACHTGA and her three son's MUACH, CUMMA, DOIRB out loud. Light a candle in a lantern and declare 'happy new year'.

2) If getting to the seaside etc is not possible for you – then assemble a bowl of water, a rock and a feather / leaf – put the rock in the water and the feather / leaf on top – this is a miniature “Meeting place of the Three Realms” - do your triple blessings before the darkness is total and say the goddess's name TLACHTGA and her three son's MUACH, CUMMA, DOIRB out loud. Light a candle in a lantern and declare 'happy new year'.

From all of us here at Temple Crom; happy Celtic New Year! May all the Gods inspire you to walk your own true Path.
