Moon Day 19
A difficult, even dangerous, day in all astrological traditions. It is suited only for struggles with enemies, and the destruction of anything outmoded. On this day, good deeds and noble actions may bring a very different result to the one you had been hoping for. It isn't suitable for starting anything important, especially connected with earning money. Marriage is undesirable, and you should also avoid drunks.

Next Full Moon Date: Monday, April 18, 2011

Full Pink Moon (April)
This full Moon heralded the appearance of the grass pink, or wild ground phlox-one of the first spring flowers. It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon.

This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month's celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.

A Nighttime Blessing

A NIGHTTIME BLESSING

A nighttime blessing I wrote to say with my children:

As the day comes to an end,
our great god, the sun descends.
Goddess enters into night sky,
twinkling stars and moon so high,
I now lay me down to rest,
with my soul in her hands
goodnight to all,
and goddess bless!

Computer Blessing

(It's OK to laugh) 

Blessings on this fine machine, 
May its data all be clean. 
Let the files stay where they're put, 
Away from disk drives keep all soot. 
From its screen shall come no whines, 
Let in no spikes on power lines. 
As oaks were sacred to the Druids, 
Let not the keyboard suffer fluids. 
Disk Full shall be nor more than rarity, 
The memory shall not miss its parity. 
From the modem shall come wonders, 
Without line noise making blunders. 
May it never catch a virus, 
And all its software stay desirous. 
Oh let the printer never jam, 
And turn my output into spam. 
I ask of Eris, noble queen, 
Keep Murphy far from this machine.
