Today is the dark dead moon of Martius for it is the last Luna day of Mars, or today we would call it March and there will be no bright light in the sky tonight. Ignore those silly new rules that say it is the first of April, for Luna, this is a lie. The suggested Gods (should you need them,) could be Perkwonus, Martius, Indra, or Taranis. You should honour such attributes and become as the masculine God of the storm, a seething pot of molten rage, ready for war, murder, and the catharsis of retribution.
Today we look back on parts of the month that we are leaving behind with all the hatred that we can muster. What is it that went terribly wrong? Where did one fail? What did you lose? What pain did you feel? “Why, my March was terrific,” you may decry, “I have absolutely nothing to be displeased about.” In which case I insist you dig deeper, there is always two ways of looking at things, always something that could have been done better, always an opportunity missed or a moment squandered.
First, my darklings, whether you are ready or not, think yourself of 3-5 failures, cringe moments, losses, or painful occurrences. It is not permitted to blame another for your circumstance – if another is involved then change the perspective until it is you that is at fault for allowing another to effect your world (you can strike them with your thunderbolt later if you still remain inclined, but today the focus shall be on self alone. If you can not be angry at yourself for the action of another, then put that occurrence to the side and chose another.)
Seethe about your failures with all your might, write down the findings that came from within and hold this feeling in honour of the Gods of thunder and war. Become as Mars. Todays working has an intrinsic value towards the future cycle and make you ready for the new moon, the new month which arises tomorrow at 6.16 GMT.
Think all day of that which you got wrong in March, and preferably, before 7.56pm (GMT,) put aside half an hour of alone time. When alone, gather your thoughts on the matters, close your eyes and encase yourself in a literal red hot mist, this mist is your anger – your saturnian storm. Breath in the mist, and gather it from the internal corners of your body, and as it enters your throat, feel it transmute to red hot lumps of coal – your throat protests at the heat of the rock, and pushes it downwards into the heart.
The idea is to gather and breath in the anger, and to pull it down to the place where the sleeping snake coils at the perineum. To sit with a straight spine and to cut off the energetic flow to the legs by raising or crossing them can make this easier. Imagine the volcanic rocks dropping from one chakra to the next, leaving none behind in the throat or heart (lest the unprepared consequences be dyer.) This is a metaphysical regurgitation in reverse. Notice how light the centres feel as the anger leaves on its way down to hell.
Use the breath, and slight internal movement to pull down into your base. It is important to complete this meditation with every red hot drop of rage captured in the base chakra. This is where your furnace lies, where the sleeping snake can stir, if only you can warm him up (snakes are rather cold blooded and are not so responsive without heat.)
Do not let this fire go out. Think, hate, bring down to the bowels of hell. For now we remain as red hot embers, ready to ignite fully at any time. Sit, think of nothing, and slowly come back to the light.
After your meditation, complete your task by writing your solutions, what could you have done differently? How will you kill any consequences? Make phone calls, write emails, bring any failures of the month to a close. You may wish to save your notes from today. Later, after the task is accomplished, and if one wants to reignite the fire at around 8pm. Visualise eating such notes, paper is very good fuel for a fire.
Revel in this fire within, rejoice that you have learnt how to fuel your fire. Revel that your slate is washed in all the worlds that it exists. You may thank the Gods, your enemies, the cycle, and yourself for the gift of Martius that you have received this month. Accepi Ignem Grate!
