🌑 Sunday Crossroads Check-In: The Dark Moon 🌑
The moon is gone tonight.
Not waning. Not fading. Gone. The New Moon is exact tonight, and the sky is genuinely dark — the kind of dark that asks something of you if you let it.
In ancient Athens, this was the Deipnon. The last day of the month. You swept the hearth, you cleared the threshold, you left Hekate's supper at the crossroads and you let the old month go completely before the new one was allowed to begin. No rushing into what came next. Just the full weight of the ending, honored.
I've really been sitting with endings this week. In a month, my child turns one year old. A year of a whole person existing who didn't exist before. A year of myself existing in a way I hadn't before either. The Descent arc we've been walking together has had a particular texture for me personally this season, and this is part of it: the slow realization of how much has changed, and the tenderness of that. The generational healing.
Your Crossroads prompt for this week:
What has this last lunar month asked you to carry? And what are you willing to leave at the threshold before tomorrow's crescent appears?👇Drop your answer below if you’d like it witnessed. I’ll start.
If you do want to share, this is the space. We're all standing at the same crossroads tonight.
The Noumenia begins tomorrow — the first sliver of the new crescent, the new month, the new beginning. The Hekatean Kitchen launches in six days. And a new arc is already gathering itself just outside the frame of what you can currently see. 😉😅
"She who holds the torch does not fear the dark. She knows what lives there." — d'Este & Rankine, Hekate: Liminal Rites
What are you leaving at the threshold tonight?
En Erebos, Phos. In darkness, light.
Blessings, Tirza 🌿🗝️🌙
