Moon of Siduri, the Heavenly Barmaid埃及的孟婆：聖羅莎
聖羅莎在埃及是個著名的「釀酒女神」，那時人們沿著幼發拉底河從亞美尼亞把葡萄酒運送至富庶的巴比倫。對美索不達米亞平原上的古蘇美爾人來說，葡萄和葡萄酒是不朽與長生的象徵。在他們的神話中曾說：葡萄之女居於海上，採之釀酒；Siduri坐于海濱之花園中舉起神賜予她的金酒器。
The full moon in Pisces illuminates the cosmic river of souls, the collective unconscious, and the powers of prophecy. Siduri is the bartender who offers food and drink ( and sympathy, generosity, and kindness ) to weary souls on the path to the cosmic river. Her mythic role is critical after visiting Siduri, souls are refreshed and ready to journey to the afterlife.
當人們的生命結束、疲憊的靈魂踏上回家之路—Siduri（聖羅莎）充滿便以充滿同情、慷慨與善良的心，提供這些靈魂美酒與食物；因此聖羅莎有時候也代表「集體無意識」、「預言」。（註1）當靈魂喝下美酒，他的內心也被刷新、準備進入下一個來世。
We are all travelers of the road of life, and sometimes need a place to sit, have a drink, and find a compassionate shoulder to lean on. Sympathy requires listening without judging, supporting without telling someone what to do and easing the long and weary road by sharing food and drink.
我們都是人生旅途上的過客。在旅程中，有時我們需要一個地方坐下來、喝點東西、並找個肩膀依靠一下。「同情」是種聆聽、而非分析；「支持」則意指這時候我們只需要你一個肯定的眼神，但不需要你的長篇大論、或是告訴我們該怎麼做。漫漫旅途，我們只想要你靜靜分些食物與飲料一起共飲。
The solitary practitioner can embody Siduri’s role during this Full Moon by feeding a widow, listening sympathetically, or giving to a charity. A coven ritual may include filling a special chalice with drink and passing it around the circle. Members can take turns serving food or pouting drinks. Offer prayers for the weary to find comfort, for the hungry to be fed, and for departing souls to journey in safety. Have sympathy for one another and listen without judging. Pass a tip glass for Siduri, and donate the proceeds.
在這天（雙魚座滿月），我們可以做各種付出：傾聽孤單人的心聲、陪伴失去另一半的鰥寡、或是捐錢給慈善機構。至於巫師們在這一天也會圍成圓圈坐在一起分享食物、就口於同一個聖杯喝裡面的飲料並傳遞下去；同時互相傾聽對方的內心而不判斷、讓疲憊的靈魂在祈禱中得到安慰。最後大家一起捐出自己可提供的財物，讓整個儀式畫上完美的句點。
