Today is a date that’s full of power, deep with meaning, both civil and private.
Today is November 11, 2011 – 11/11/11, and twice our clocks will also read 11/11, in the a.m. and in the p.m. Next time this date will be written this way is 100 years in the future. But for today, I shall leave it up to the numerologists to tell us the significance of this.
Today is also Remembrance Day. Wars past, wars present, wars that take our young men and women away to faraway places, from which some never return. Wars that have made veterans of people who have signed up to do the ultimate duty for their country. Wars that have returned men and women back to us with memories of indescribable horrors and loss. We remember these men and women today, and thank them for what they have done. I, for one, will never forget.
Today is Remembrance Day for me, on a more personal nature. On this day in 1970, I received news from a police officer that my youngest brother, my baby brother had died under very suspicious circumstances. So much I can say here. So many feelings that will always be with me, so many memories! A life cut short – he was only 18 - so much promise snuffed out! My brother, Vitaly, I will never forget you.
Well, so much for the nostalgic, so much for the remembrances that open the old wounds and bring tears to the eyes again. So much for the energies that ever bind the living with those who passed beyond the veil.
Now onto some positive blessings this day brings…
Today, we celebrate the wedding of someone who is well known to many of you on Facebook. Shibaten Spirits will be wed to his beloved, and may this day be one of eternal blessings and joy for them.
And finally, today is Full Moon.
May She, who bathes us in Her silver light, bless and keep you, may Her energies of power and enlightenment bathe you, and may you find solace and comfort in the arms of the beautiful Mother Goddess!
