Though we have twelve months in a year there are thirteen faces to the moon and thirteen Lunar Months in a year. The Full Moon is near, if not so, the middle of said lunar months. The New moon is the first day of the Lunar Month and so this list may not always be correct as the first New Moon may not appear on the first of the month. The following list is mainly for informative persona, not definitive outlines. For that you would have to get a New Lunar Calendar. Lunar Months
January: The Wolf Moon
This first moon repesents sitting by the home fire and times of silence. As winter pushes on its time to appreciate the warmth of home and family. Now is the time to reflexed on yourself and decide what you want to change with the coming spring. Consider what you will do, what you will 'plant'. Start a journal and record lunar tides and spring dreams.
February: The Storm Moon
Start spring cleaning with the coming of this Moon. Its time to think about what needs to be released set free in your life, in your home. Burning white candles and purifying incenses will help relax you and bring you through this period. Rid your self of the old, sweep out the cobwebs and prepare yourself. the new growth of spring is coming.
March: The Chaste Moon
This Moon represents the Maiden and Faery folk. Gather all the fruit and energy of the abundance of insperation around you and imagin what you can create, grow, from it.
