Did you know the moon has magical properties? There is a belief common to many cultures that working rituals at the time of different phases of the moon can bring about physical or psychological change or transformation. Moon Magic has a beautiful history that goes back to the dawn of time. Fun fact: a women's menses (period) is called a moon as well. Mōna shares its origins with the Latin words metri, which means to measure, and mensis, which means month. So, we see that the moon is called the moon because it is used to measure the months. A full lunar cycle lasts from one new moon to the next and takes 28 days. The average menstrual cycle is also 28 days long. So these two things are very intertwined. Bet you didn't know all that. I know I didn't when I first began studying yoga and astrology. Now that I know, I have learned to use the forces and energy inherit to our world to harness my desires and create my reality.
The Moon is the astronomical body closest to us and, therefore, has a profound influence upon us. You may have heard that the moon controls the tides of the ocean. While that is not entirely true, it is the most simple explanation. Gravity actually controls the tides but what effects our gravity most is the moon and it's gravity in relationship the Earth. Therefore by extension, the moon controls our tides.
A great time to harvest the moon's magic is during the full moon. The full moon represents fire, abundance, power and vitality. It’s time to claim one’s own power, make decisions, work changes, and bring something into being.
