The moon is hanging full in the sky tonight. Each full moon has a particular name. This month it is known as the Quickening Moon. Its rising is understood to mark the beginning of Spring, a time when new life quickens in us. This night is a night for focusing on our hopes and dreams. We focus on those things that are being born in us.
Each full moon I set my intention for the month. For February the intentions center around several projects I am trying to get off the ground. I write them down and place the paper in a special bowl on my altar. Sometimes I stand in front of the altar, light a candle and say a prayer. Often I will go outside and stand in the moonlight and pray. There is something quite soothing about a moonlight bath. (I am not skyclad, but in my jammies. Otherwise, it might be too much for the neighbors!)
The cycle of the moon provides a rhythm to my life. Each time I see it, I am filled with wonder, awe and a sense of mystery. It makes me stop, think, reflect and enjoy. What a marvelous gift of the Universe!
May the blessings of this full moon nourish your dreams and feed your soul!
