Cancer/Capricorn Full Moon

Ritual written* and led by Janine Donnellan
(July 2006)


This full moon we will be celebrating the birth of the Sun, and a new growth cycle. It is a time when a great amount of Cosmic energy is given too us to heighten our vibrations and expand our awareness. Each year the energy is increased as we awaken and attain our fulfilment.

At the Winter Solstice we started our inner journey and purification, now we are completing and ready to step into the new and heightened frequencies through the Sun.

The sun-worshiping Mayans considered the Solar Plexus the point from which our solar umbilical cords extend out to the sun, connecting us via the sun the 'womb of the Great Mother' at the centre of the Milky Way which the Mayans consider the galactic core and birthplace of the universe. The Earth and our Sun's ecliptic realign with this galactic core on solstice 2012, when the Mayan calendar ends with the prophesied 'return of Quetzalcoatl', the Winged Serpent-global kundalini awakening?

Almost every ancient culture in the world has serpents representing the Creation and Beginning of Time, so it is implicit that this coming 'End' of Time as we know it is somehow also the Beginning, as the great Serpent bites its own tail in a Cosmic Moebius Strip loop.

A series of Global Chakra Workings are being performed at each of Gaia's seven chakra points between October 1999 and December 2012. These rituals will help activate Gaia's own rising Kundalini and will help to resonate humanity's awakening through the Group mind.
