New Moon - Tumblr Posts
As the clock began to toll out the hour, vibrating under the soles of my sluggish feet, I knew I was too late — and I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited any desire to live.
I'm so sleepy all the time I think I would be the first vampire to sleep
January 2023 New Moon Meditation
I personally do not perform ritual on New Moons. I take this time to relax, unwind, and break free from my stressors in life. I wrote this small meditation for those who would like to meditate during this time or use it in their ritual practice :)
Purpose:
To cleanse and protect yourself during this time of low energy. From here to the Full Moon, you will gradually increase your energy and release the negative energies that bother you here and now.
Use:
This meditation can be treated as its own small meditation whenever you need it or when it’s necessary, but can also be used for those who do rituals on the New Moon.
Meditation: 1) Get into a comfy seated position or you can lie down and take 3, long deep breaths. Breathing in for 4 seconds, holding for 1 second, and releasing for another 4 seconds.
2) Imagine roots growing from your tailbone into the Earth below and ground yourself during this time. Letting go of all past, present, or future stressors.
3) Continue breathing and look at the dark New Moon within you. The New Moon represents positive changes and setting new intentions for the coming Full Moon.
4) Think of your intentions for the weeks leading to the Full Moon. This could be building a better habit, eating better, making healthier choices, or just feeling more positive and more energized.
5) Continue to breathe. Do not let anything stress you during this time. Relax. Everything is okay during this time, this time is for you and no one else.
If you cannot shake a thought or feeling, embrace it and say to yourself: “This is not a time for this”
6) Continue to be in the present, guided by the New Moon and the journey that it would like to take you on. Let it flow.
7) Whenever you are ready. Lift your hands above your head and say: “The New Moon brings me courage, the New Moon brings me intent. These are my intentions that I do wish to set.” Say as many times as you’d like.
8) Open your eyes and stretch a little. You can journal about this meditation journey or go about your day, remembering your intentions throughout this time.
If you have any questions for me, please leave me a question in my 'Ask me Anything' section on my page :)

Monty: So what? He’s just a baby because the star decided it?
New Moon: Yeah, he’s tiny.
Baby Eclipse: *happily giggling and playing with New Moon’s hand and in awe*
Sun: He’s got that thing because I can’t even stand to look at it.
Earth: Sun, we’ve talked about this. You can’t blame a baby for their adult actions.
Monty: I mean it’s true, he did…horrible things as an adult, but he’s just a baby right now, Sun. That don’t mean you have to deal with him, of course, but try to just be gentle with him.
Sun, pouting: Fine.

Virgo New Moon (September 15, 2023) ♍🌙
With both the Sun and Moon forming a near exact trine with Uranus, the energy will make you feel a deeper connection to humanity. The Moon will form trines with Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto, which will increase the focus on life, the material and career, and an opposition with Neptune, which may increase imagination and will help merge science and spirituality. Issues of self-control may appear, as Virgo tends to form weird bonds with external elements and has a tendency to go to extremes. This may be more obvious in the mind space, due to its overthinking and analyzing nature, which could lead to irrational or fear-based thoughts. You may feel a deeper need to let go of the old, clean and declutter any physical or internal space. In the same way, you will be more inclined to analyze things and choose the logical answer or explanation above any metaphorical or spiritual version. The ways in you are overly polite or submissive, such as saying sorry too much, or feeling annoying after saying or asking for the bare minimum, will appear. It’s important to take care of your physical body, specially by listening to your intuition when it comes to food choices.

And I plan on posting it in parts so New Moon is part 1.
Character:
Name: Evangeline Swan (picture her as you want)
Sister: Bella Swan
status: human (will be changed)
Vampiric ability : seismic sense (later on)
Mate: Demetri Volturi
word count: 3.7k

New Moon : The Start of Forever
You were sat in the yellow sports car which Alice Cullen had hijacked and was operating with dangerous speed towards the city of Volterra, Italy, where you knew nothing good was going to expect you when you arrived.
Lush green fields of grass and trees could be seen in your peripheral vision, there was something so scarily calming about it. But of course, Bella was too busy bouncing nervously in the passenger seat to admire the scenery, holding onto the dashboard harshly "I'm guessing you didn't rent his car?" she asked Alice.
You snickered quietly.
of course she didn't
"I figured you wouldn't be opposed to grand theft auto" Alice replied swiftly, briefly glancing over at Bella, who was beginning to look a little nauseous from the curves and pot holes in the road, "Not today" Bella rushed out.
Suddenly, you noticed Alice's eyes begin to glaze over and your curiosity was engaged, she was having a premonition.
Bella caught wind immediately.
"What? What do you see?" Bella asked her vampiric friend, a small hint of anxiety in her voice as she slowly feared for the worst and she had a bad feeling her vampire boyfriend had set some sort of plan in motion.
"Alice, are you okay?" you asked her, speaking up for the first time in a while.
Alice brushed you off, "They refused him" Alice said, narrowing her eyes in concern.
"Sooo" Bella pushed.
"He's going to make a scene, show himself to the humans" Alice said, glancing at both you and Bella
"that can't end well" you mumbled, meeting Alice's eyes in the mirror and having your thought confirmed as Alice nodded her head in agreement whilst keeping a steady eye on the prevailing road conditions ahead, steering the wheel smoothly and precisely.
"No.. when?!" Bella's voice was sharp with angst.
"He's going to wait until noon, when the sun is at it's highest" Alice let out a small gasp as her vision came to an end, making you think that she saw something upsetting.
You may not have liked Edward for all the shit he put Bella through, but you weren't the kind of person who would wish suffering on anyone.
"God Alice, you gotta hurry"
"There's Volterra"
___________________________________________________________
Bella rushed off to save her boyfriend through the sea of red coats, as per the tradition of St. Marcus day, celebrating the expulsion of vampires. You however, stayed with Alice and looked for a spot to leave the stolen vehicle.
Alice turned to look at you seriously as she covered every inch of her exposed skin, which was mostly her face, "Evangeline I want you to listen carefully to me, when we get to the castle do not do anything to attract attention" she said, looking you straight in the eyes.
you nodded wordlessly, worry growing within you as you sat still in the backseat of the car and feeling it come to a halt just behind the massive castle where the Volturi resided.
You weren't going to question her, you were about to step into the layer of vampires and you wanted to do everything in your powers to come out alive.
"Come on, let's go" she said and climbed out of the car, prompting you do the same and following behind her as she navigated through the areas covered with shade.
Time felt like it passes too fast as you were suddenly in front of a door with a very old and wooden looking latch "remember what I said" Alice said suddenly before breaking the latch and opening the door, stepping inside and you following right on her tail.
"Come guys, its a festival, you wouldn't want to cause a scene" Alice said smugly, whilst you awkwardly tried to close the door behind you but giving up after 2 seconds when the stupid thing did not want to listen.
Suddenly, your movement froze and you felt like the small hair on your skin was beginning to dance on the back of your neck, making an intense shiver run down your spine before spreading all over your body like a tsunami devouring anything in its way.
You looked up to find the source of this sensation, skipping over the beautiful old and italien structure when your eyes finally settled on a blonde man, dressed from head to toe in black. What actually caught your attention was his blood red eyes and how hauntingly captivating they were, even more as they met yours.
"Enough" a set of footsteps could be heard clacking on the ground and you watched as a young girl approach, pulling her hood from her head.
"Jane" Edward said quietly, acknowledging her presence.
As Edward's voice registered in your brain, you snapped your eyes away from the beautiful blonde individual and averted them to the ground, a small blush growing on your face in the process.
"Aro sent me to see what was taking so long" the girl, Jane, said and looked over Bella and you with bright and bloody eyes, not as beautiful or inviting as the other ones, before she turned around and began walking back to where she came from.
"Just do what she says" Alice whispered to you as you began to walk alongside her, your breath hitching in your throat as you walked past the blond vampire again, even more so when he started walking next to you.
Your heart was having a personal fiesta in your chest, the pace it was pumping at made you think you were about to fall to the floor from cardiac arrest, and it was all because of him.
Butterflies grew rampantly fast in your stomach, your fingers trembled as almost irresistible itch to just "accidentally" touch them to his was difficult to shove aside and your entire body felt like it was coming alive
And no words had even been exchanged yet.
After an elevator ride with a charged atmosphere, you found yourself walking down stone made stairs, the staircase being dimly lit by the light just outside the door.
You tuned out the small conversation Edward and Bella shared, choosing to primarily focus on not tripping and making a horrible first impression on the beautiful you may or may not already have a crush on.
You felt your neves growing as the more you felt like you approaching the belly of the beast that were the 3 king of the Volturi, especially since Alice told you the stories of what happens those who are exposed to the world of vampires of if you betray it.
The receptionist greeting you as you walked out had you snapped out of your thoughts and your eyes, on their own accord, flittered back to the breathtaking individual who walked beside you.
But the off-putting thought? she was human.
"is she human?" bella asked not-so-quietly, looking at Edward in his fancy red robe which you thought looked ridiculous on him.
"Yes"
"Does she know?"
"yes"
"Then why would-" Bella cut herself as realization dawned on her, "she wants to be".
"And so she will be" a shiver went down your spine as you heard him speak for the very first time, and it made your heart palpate faster. His voice was the right amount of deep and adorned with an english accent, making him all the more enticing.
You felt like there was an invisible cord pulling you with a prepostourley strong force towards him, and the more you tried to heed Alice's warnings about the Volturi, you find yourself beginning to lean more and more in the opposite direction.
Suddenly, a hand snaked its way across your back and settled itself on your waist, tracing small and delicate circles on whatever exposed skin was accessible to him. Almost as if to assure that you won't be hurt as long as he was there.
And the surprising part? you felt safe with him.
"Or dessert" Jane said and you found yourself being glad that you were protected.
Jane pushed open two gigantic wooden double doors and walked into a massive throne and of course, on two majestic chairs sat the 3 volturi kings.
Aro, Caius and Marcus.
Aro seemed to be excited.
Caius was glaring at visitors with annoyance and anger.
Marcus looked... well, rather somber.
Alice had tried to grab your arm and make you go in the same direction as her, the beautiful was quicker and pulled you closer with whilst moving to somewhere in the back of the room and away from the action.
Bella sent you a questioning glance, wondering what you were doing but you had no answer for her so you just shrugged your shoulders and smiled reassuringly at her.
"What a happy surprise! Bella is alive after all" Aro said, his tone chipper as he clapped his hands together, a little too chipper for greeting someone who knew about the existence of vampires...
"Isn't that wonderful? I love a happy ending" you watched Aro approach Bella and Edward, biting your lip in anxiety as your sister was dangerously close to having her life ended.
You weren't aware of it, but your hand subconsciously grabbed ahold of his sleeve and squeezed the material tightly in your grasp.
Aro grabbed ahold of Edwards hand, "they are so rare" he said before his eyes widened and glazed over and it reminded you of when Alice experiences one of her visions .
"La tua cantante, both of the swan sisters" he said, eyes flickering over to you in an instant with newfound curiosity bright in his eye before he decided to make his way over to you.
"My dear Demetri, it seems as though you found your mate" He said, stopping in front of you and looking you dead in the eye, making you shift a little closer to you to seek safety.
"So thats his name, Demetri. Suits him beautifully" you thought yourself.
"Yes my lord" Demetri said, his grip on your waist tightening ever so slightly but enough to make you crave more and be closer to him, even if you didn't understand why you wanted to close to someone who eats your kind for breakfast.
Aro's eyes go to you and you freeze, you couldn't decipher that look in his eyes, curiosity but combined with something else and you weren't sure if you wanted to know... or witness.
"Their blood appeals to you both" he started and you noticed a change in his facial expression "it makes me thirsty" you froze and moved closer to Demetri almost automatically.
"Aro can read every thought you've ever had, with one touch" Edward interjects, his voice making you startle in surprise and your gaze went to him, seeing that he's had his eye on you and Demetri, as well as Alice and you sent her a small smile to let her know you were okay.
Aro turned to look at him "you are quite a soul reader yourself, Edward. No, you can't read Bella's thoughts" he glanced at Bella another time "fascinating"
"I would love to see if you are an exception to my gift as well, would do me the hohor?" Aro extends his hand to Bella and you watch her take a tentative step forward, placing her hand in his.
You watch with nervousness and anxiety as Aro lowers his head and closes his hand, most likely trying to rifle through her memories one by one but he won't be successful, you knew that.
"Interesting" he pauses.
"I see nothing".
Maybe that was a good thing.
Aro takes a few steps backwards, interlacing his hands in thought "let us see if she is immune to all our powers" he says and an unsettling grin grew on his face as he looks at jane "shall we, jane?" and you could swear your heart leaps into your throat and panic consumes you.
"No please don't" you breathed and surged out of demetris hold and towards your sister but strong arms wrapped around your frame in an instant and coiled tightly, immobilizing any movement and leaving you thrashing to get away.
"No" Edward growled and lunged at jane, only to freeze on the stop and his body begins to contort painfully, as if his body was being squeezed into a little ball and he falls to his knees.
"Stop" Bella demanded with a fearful tone "no please stop" she pleaded and tried to run to edwards side but was stopped by Jane's brother, Alec.
"Stop, just stop hurting him please, please" her voice grew louder every second that edward appeared to be in more pain, his face completely strained as he fought against the onslaught waves of pain Jane sent in his direction with one steely eyed glare.
"Jane" Aro said that Jane obeyed instantly, stopping her ministrations against edward.
"Go ahead, my dear" aro said eerily softly and suddenly, Jane looked at Bella with excitement.
"This may hurt just a little" she said calmly and you began thrashing in demetris hold again when you realised what was going to happen
"please let me go" you pleaded quietly as you watched Bella prepare herself, a look of determination in her eyes and much like a python, the more you moved in his arms, the tighter he held you to him "please calm down mia cara, she won't come to harm" he whispered softly in your ear, his voice warm and somehow comforting and it sent shivers down your spine.
Aro lets out a laugh and claps his hands "Remarkable" he breathed "she confounds us all".
"So, what do we do with you now?" then, he looked at you.
"With both of you?".
you huddled closer to demetri at the threatening glint in Aros eyes, almost doing it instinctively.
"You already know what you are going to do Aro" the oldest and kind of depressed-looking spoke up first with a monotonous tone in his voice, as if this whole ordeal bored him.
The blonde king spoke next "They know too much, they're a liability" he said before glancing at you "the younger swan will be spared as she is Demetri's mate, but she has to be turned" he demanded and your stomach tightened with dread.
did you want to be changed? were you really willing to throw a whole chapter of your life away to be with someone you met an hour ago?
Aro sighed wistfully "thats true" he agreed before casting a glance to a burly vampire, giving him a look "Felix" was all he said and Bella was released from Alecs grip
only to be flipped so she was standing protected behind Edward and he lunges at Felix, tackling him to the floor with ferocity and then you felt a rush of wind, suddenly feeling cold.
You looked to the side and saw that Demetri had a hand wrapped around Alices throat in a vice-like grip, not letting her escape and you frowned, she must've tried to intervene.
But with Demetri guarding Alice, you felt exposed and unsafe in a room full of vampires which would easily kill you if given the command, damn you really got comfy in his arms.
Every time edward was slammed into the marble floors, small and tiny cracks grew along his skin, like a porcelain vase that was beginning to shatter and you winced as the cracks and tears grew louder.
And then Felix had him in a headlock, ready to tear off his head and bella let out a cry of desperation "Please, no, no, please, plese!" she cried and aro gave the command to stop felix, hearing the plea in her voice "kill me, kill me, not him" she rushed out and inhaled shakily.
your head turned faster than a cobra striking its pray, you couldn't believer her words, how easily she was willing to give up her life for the man she loved but what about you? were you at the center of her priorities too?
"Bella no, don't say that" you breathed and fought the rising tears as you went to stand by her side but you only got a glare from your sister, so this is what it came to be.
Suddenly becoming a vampire didn't seem like the worst idea.
Aro stalked towards bella with slow and deliberate steps, a confused yet a look of awe in his eyes "how extraordinary, you would give up your life for someone like us, a vampire, a soulless monster"
shivers went down your spine and a burning sensation tingled by the back of your head, you turned your head to look and saw demetri had his eyes trained on you whilst still having focus on keeping Alice captive with is hand wrapped firmly and tightly around her throat.
Guilt consumed you when your first thought was not centred around Alice and her safety but rather the man who had the potential to cause her harm if she so much as she attempted to squirm and break free, the thought of that was enough to get you to turn your head and focus on Bella and Edward again.
But all you then saw was a blur wizzing forward and slamming into another member of the Volturi and you quickly realised edward pounced on him, most likely to protect bella.
(skipping ahead)
Edward was spared from being destroyed and stood with Bella once again and Demetri stood by you again, an arm wrapped securely around your waist.
"let us be done with this, heidi will arrive any moment"
the old and frail-looking king spoke up as he stood up slowly "thank you for your visit" he said slowly with a deep rasp in his voice and then then the blonde king spoke up.
"I would advise that you follow through with your promise soon, we do not offer second chances" he said with a sneer on his face, emphasizing the word "chances" to make it sound more menacing you were sure.
Demetri let go of you momentarily to open the giant double doors and led you and the others out of the throne room "goodbye my young friends" Aro said from behind but you did not once stop to think to turn around, you just kept walking and followed demetri.
"Nice fishing, heidi" you heard demetri say and you looked up, a beautiful vampiric woman in a red dress walked past your group with a sea of tourists following right behind her, mumbling curiously and admiring the architecture of the palace and it appeared as though they were completely oblivious that they were being lead to their deaths.
maybe it was better that way, a quick and swift death.
"yes they do look rather juicy" Heidi replied and sent a smirk in his direction and an emotion that mimicked jealousy (or actual jealousy) rose within you, did she have thing for him? but you shook those thoughts away.
and then the screaming and shouting came.
you froze and wanted to turn around to observe what was happening but demetri snaked an arm around your waist and pulled you close to him "don't look its not for the faint of heart, mia cara" his soft voice met your ear and heat rushed down your spine at the close proximity, the effect he had on you making you slowly forget.
A few minutes later and you were outside, the warm sun beaming down on you and you welcomed it without hesitation, breathing in the fresh air and relaxed.
"It's time we go home" Alice stood next to you, a hand on your shoulder as she gave you a soft smile.
you bit your lip in thought, eyes flickering over to demetri.
for whatever reason, the thought of leaving him was like going through a heartbreak and it was like your whole body was protesting and fighting hard against it, leaving him felt like a gloomy cloud was descending upon you and your world would shrouded in darkness.
"2 seconds alice" you told her quietly and stepped over to demetri, your heart hammering violently in your chest.
"what happens now?" was the first thing you asked him as you looked up at his beautiful face, his beautiful red eyes looking down at you with a certain softness and fondness you didnt think you'd ever on a vampires face.
"We will be together again, and I understand that you must return home" He spoke with understanding as he delicately placed his hand on your cheek, stroking the skin softly like you were the most precious thing he had in his possession.
Which is kind of true given your human nature and his vampire.
a sad and small smile rose on your lips as you subconsciously leaned into his touch, his hand burrowing itself gently in your hair "I look forward to it" you whispered before stepping back, his hand falling from your head and you immediately missed his touch.
"we'll see each other sooner than you think, mia cara"
"this is only the start".
and with that, you turned and left with the others and you were damn sure that you wouldn't ever forget him.

Me, and it’s all Stephanie Meyer’s fault.
Honestly though, we ought to acknowledge Alice’s love for Bella. Like, even in smeyer’s twisted canon, we see the platonic sisterly love that is shared. In NM, when Alice saw Bella jump from the cliff, she went straight back to Forks without hesitation. She left the man she’s loved and lived with for decades to help and/or mourn the best friend she’s only known for a few months. Ultimate chicks-before-dicks energy right there. If Edward’s dumbass hadn’t gone off to Volterra instead of fucking fact checking like he should have, Alice would have singlehandedly dragged her family by their ears and hair (besides Emmy) back to Forks and their human, clumsy, little sister.
So Stephanie Me*er deadass made Jasper a C*o federate for no logical reason that was in any way necessary to the plot….
But didn’t have him apologize directly to Bella after trying to kill her in New Moon.
The math ain’t mathing on this one, fam
Especially since in the very next book, he’s giving her his whole life story and they’re all buddy-buddy.
Make it make sense
time lapse entel
Just imagine if in New Moon when Bella offers to run away with Jacob he agrees and they just pack up and leave drive across country. Bella and him finish school online and they both call Billy and Charlie to let them know they're okay. Bella gets better once she's out of the state for a few months and starts realizing that she actually has deep feelings for Jake and they fall in love, own a mom and pops diner or something.
