Moon & Sea

“We are going to reinvent you as Moon. 

We are going to reinvent me as Ocean.” 

Moon and Sea work in relation to each other. 

Both are simple and yet both are complicated. Both have aspects. 

Moons Aspects are; 

Full, Gibbous, Half, Crescent, Shadow. 

Moons light is reflected in Ocean. 

Oceans aspects are; 

Tidal (controlled by Moon), 

Ice (cold & dense), 

DeepDark (compressed), 

Flowing, 

Foggy. 

Not all of Ocean’s aspects are controllable by Moon. 

Not all of Moons aspects are controllable by Ocean. 

This system is compatible with Jungian psychology model and with Hermetic mysticism by association of symbolic elements. There are three other entities relevant in this pantheon.

Star (furthest reach, guide, goal, aspirant). 

Earth (body, greatest gravitational mass). 

Sun (illuminator, life-bringer, fierce death). 

Moon

Moon is wonderful because she is a blank slate. Ideal for reinvention. Every time she has her full moon face Moon is free of anxiety trauma attachments. She is free of persona. 

She is perfect pure and radiant (Full)

When she is Half-Moon is perfectly balanced (Jungian integration of the Shadow). 

She is mysterious and magickal (Crescent).

She is battling with shadows (traumas) - Gibbous (the black-crescent). Moons shadow represents super-ego conditioning (typically, trauma-response). 

She is overwhelmed with negativity (dark moon).  

Sun

We all orbit Sun. Sun is the centre of our centre when we are most true. It is not external to us. Sun has been known historically as Osiris, Odin, Zeus; many other names signifying not an external deity but a perfect internal attunement with the All-Being. 

Sun is external only when we are not aligned with it that it may flow through us. The training process is Kundalini balancing. Sun is Harmony. 

Earth

The Earth is ‘The Matter At Hand’ which totally controls all of our Attentions to take us away from being ourselves, our balanced selves. 

It catalyses us into action but it also is static and stagnates us. Earth has an extreme duality in that (its ‘fire and ice’ phases). 

Earth (as fire) is also symbolised by Coin (money), her female aspect. 

Earth (as ice) represents Stability, his male aspect, symbolised as a (square stone). 

In most basic terms it means ‘World’. Ideally Earth is the world created and sustained by the energies, harmony, friction, emotions and mental contexts placed into it by Moon and Ocean. It symbolises their relationship. 

Earth is sometimes symbolised by Bull (its male aspect) which is Taurean and sometimes indicates a third party lover or extra-marital affair. In BDSM culture the Bull, Stag and Vixen are an established relational system. This is why use of Earth is not ideal for couples. 

Earth also indicates Children (adults are custodians of their world, they are the world, etc).
