Moon phases & their meanings✨

*this will just be a short & sweet explanation of the moon phases & their meanings.

New moon: just like the name, it’s all about new things! It’s time to buckle up & start setting your intentions & foundation for what you wish to accomplish. The new moon is a rebirth - a fresh start…

Waxing crescent: now that you’ve set your intentions with the new moon, the waxing crescent is all about making that known to the universe & really putting it out there! New possibilities & opportunities may be coming!

First quarter: struggles may arise during this time but the first quarter encourages us to keep pushing forward! It’s time to start your plans & get them going no matter what stands in the way of them. Anything is possible!

Waxing gibbous: this is all about reflection! Your energy is raising the further you get to the full moon & so right now is the time to reflect on your path. Perhaps things aren’t working out as planned but a new way presents itself…

Full moon: Full moons are great times to come into balance with your own self and life by clearing way for all of the positives & manifestations to come through while clearing out all of the negatives you don’t need/want. It’s a time to be greatful for everything!

Waning gibbous: this is a time for deep internal reflection on how you feel. Instead of looking at what you can do or change, look at things for what they are and how you feel about them. Reflect on the people & things in your life!

Third quarter: now that you’ve reflected under the waning gibbous, it’s time to do something about it!! Get rid of all the negativity or things/people you don’t want in your life & celebrate things in your life you love. Let all the bad shit go!!

Waning crescent: this is a period of reflection that allows you to relax until the next cycle of moon phases. Relax, be present with yourself, be completely open & ready for what’s to come for you! It’s okay to just have a little down time.

taurus, virgo, libra, and capricorn can be “have not” signs,  meaning they identity more with their inadequacies and the qualities they lack rather than they have  taurus always has their eye on the next long term gain, it’s sometimes a matter of what they are working towards having rather than what they have in the present, it can be a case of ‘if only’, or ‘when i have’, like ‘when i finally have a comfortable enough  virgo is focused on the abilities they don’t have, the subjects they struggle with, and everything they cannot do rather than all of the skills they have. they are always in a state of self-development, when they are finally ‘perfect’ enough, then they are enough to deserve good things, but it’s always a moving target 

libra makes a lot of comparisons with other people, they often idealise those who express the qualities they don’t have and rely on this person to fulfil or act out them out on their behalf. they can wrongly believe that they cannot source their own sense of ‘wellbeing’, ‘security’, ‘happiness’ or whatever unless they are in the company of this person, when these belong to libra in the first place capricorns have a long list of successes that they diminish in comparison to everything they ‘have not achieved’, they can have trouble self-reflecting without self-judgement and fail to see the progress they are making because the end goal is so tremendous and the person they need to become to reach this is seemingly so far away

Poem for Sabbats

Samhain begins the witches’ new year, and now Winter soon is here; the leaves fall, the harvest is done, so call your ancestors and let’s have some fun. 

Yule is the longest night, and signals the return of light. Everything is newly remade, and we wait for darkness to fade.

Imbolc we clean, cleanse and prepare for what the Spring may come to bear. Light the candles, light the fire, and build in yourself what does inspire. 

Ostara comes and Spring growth arrives, and all the Earth is truly alive. Winter is over and in it’s stead we bless our homes and our covensteads. 

Beltane, the fine May eve, we thank our gods for fertility. Bless the growing harvest and romance as we eat, drink, sing, and dance.

Litha is the longest day, the sun at it’s brightest but soon will fade. The Earth’s bounty is at it’s top, and abundance aids our spells nonstop. 

Lughnasadh, Lammas, both names are fine, herald the advent of harvest time. When fear and uncertainty are about, we ward our homes and both in and out. 

Mabon is a balance of seasons, where darkness and light remain within reason. The last harvest is called and the Summer is done, we give our thanks and farewell the sun. 

As every cycle begins once again, the wheel spins ‘round and we greet grandly Samhain.
