waning crescent dates carrot tonight

Waning Moon means the moon is decreasing in size - just like a good cake - moving from the Full Moon towards the New Moon. In this time it is good to eat light and not heavy on sweets or grains. Although there is a need in the autumn time to warm your inner strength, to prepare the body for a winter. Natural sweets like dates fulfill this need. Carrots will do the work for the eyes enhancing the vision in the darkness where the moon is going away. We need to let go of a desire to see in order to see in the dark. We need to let go of a desire to be seen in favor of being as light as a shade of our own eyes. To give our eyes the courage and a power to look forward.

The benefits of dates include relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, anemia,  sexual dysfunction, diarrhea, abdominal cancer, and many other conditions. Dates are good for gaining weight also. Dates are rich in several vitamins, minerals and fiber too. These delicious fruits contain oil, calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper and magnesium which are all beneficial for health.

This is a time for spells that banish, release, reverse. This is a time to break bad habits or bad addictions, to end bad relationships. This is a time of deep intuition and a time for divination. Developing good habits by biting waning crescent dates carrot cake supports to release the sugar need. The cake is based on dates, non wheat flour but whole grain and almond meal, and on autumn spices that are awakening love in every bite.

At this time the moon represents the Goddess in her Crone Aspect, give praise to Hecate, Morrigan or one of the other Crone Goddesses.

Meet your inner sweetens by having this smooth date with the carrot date cake.
