If we are going to reclaim our democracy, improve it, and create a world rooted in justice and devoted to regenerating the environmental and social ecosystems around us, we need more than good intentions and outrage. We need a strategy. A strategy is a plan of action, or rather, an orchestrated series of actions designed to move people emotionally and activate them politically. I’ve been creating rituals and ceremonies for more than half a century, and oddly enough, that’s actually taught me a lot about strategy! Here’s what I’ve learned.

Blue Moon , May 31st, 2026

A second Full Moon rises before May ends.

Rare. Unusual. Repetitive by nature.

The Blue Moon has always carried the feeling of something returning one final time. Not to begin again, but to reveal what still remains unresolved.

On May 31, 2026, the Moon reaches fullness for the second time within the same calendar month, creating one of the rarest lunar phases in the modern calendar. It will not appear blue in the sky. The name comes from older folklore used to describe something uncommon, something outside the ordinary rhythm of time and witches have always known that when the rhythm changes, the energy changes with it.

A Blue Moon feels different from other Full Moons.

Its light carries less expansion and more reflection. Less manifestation and more realization. It does not ask what you want to call in. It asks what keeps repeating.

The same attachment.
The same wound.
The same cycle.
The same version of yourself you keep returning to, even after outgrowing it.

This particular Blue Moon is also a micromoon, occurring when the Moon reaches apogee, its farthest point from Earth. It will appear smaller and softer in the sky, distant in appearance yet emotionally precise and that distance matters.

The Blue Moon creates space between you and what you are observing. Enough space to finally see clearly. Enough space to stop romanticizing what drains you. Enough space to recognize where your energy has been trapped in repetition instead of growth.

In witchcraft, this Moon has long been associated with endings, release work, banishment rituals, uncrossing, and the closing of karmic loops. It is not chaotic energy.

It is corrective energy because the universe will continue placing the same lesson in front of you until you decide whether you are entering the cycle again or finally walking away.

Here’s another podcast in my series on strategy. I’m using the brilliant work of Donella Meadows, systems theorist, on leverage points in a system, and how they might apply to organizing and making political change. This is part one, looking at the lower-level but still important ways to intervene. More will follow in future episodes!

There are a whole lot of reasons to take action today on May Day, when there is a call to disrupt the economy in protest of the Iran War, the continuing assaults on immigrants and targeted groups, the erosion of rights and the toxic combo of arrogance, stupidity and cruelty plaguing our government. In my podcast, I talk about May Day’s roots as the Pagan fire festival of Beltane, as International Workers’ Day, and offer a meditation to inspire us as we head to the streets!
