The Christo-Pagan series studies multiple aspects as they pertain to Christo-Pagans. This series will take you through in depth aspects for anyone from the new to skilled practitioners and everyone in between.
This series is posted on Saturdays both on Christopaganism.com along on my YouTube Channel with a new topic each week. By viewing the Event Calendar you will see the upcoming posts of this and other series. If you have a topic that you would like to see, let me know by emailing me at christopaganism.com@gmail.com. I encourage questions, comments, and suggestions to any post as long as if they are in a respectful manner.
Last time in the Christopagan series we discussed the Dark and New Moon phases. In this post I’d like to follow the phase of the Moon into the Waxing Moon phase, what it is, what it means to us, and how we can connect or best utilize its energy. Continue reading Waxing of the Moon
Last week we discussed the moon in general, but this week we are focusing on the new moon. What is it, what energies does it bestow on us, how do we relate to it, and how can we use these energies in our practice. I also want to discuss the dark moon in tandem with the new moon.

In this post I want to discuss the first of the two receptive elemental energies that I come to during ritual.

For practitioners in the Southern Hemisphere it can be seen as the energy of the north as that is the direction towards the equator. As with any elemental direction, it can be changed to fit however the element of Fire speaks to you. Continue reading South Fire Burns Bright
