What is the Cold Moon?

As the last full moon of the year, the Cold Moon holds a special place in astrology.

As this moon is in Cancer, it brings forth energies that are deeply nurturing and emotionally enriching.

Cancer is known for its sensitivity and intuitive nature, and influences this lunar phase to heighten emotional awareness and foster a sense of inner security and comfort.

You may want to focus on home, family, and close relationships during this period, and the combination highlights the importance of these bonds and our emotional well-being.

‌

Rituals and Practises

Many who practice witchcraft (or follow a pagan path) use the full moon as a time for gathering in circles, meditating, and focussing on personal growth.

The full moon’s energy is a time to release what no longer serves you and to manifest what you desire.

This phase is perfect for rituals such as:

• Charging Crystals: Placing crystals under the moonlight to cleanse and charge them with lunar energy.
• Divination: Such as performing tarot readings, or other forms of divination to gain insight and guidance.
• Spell Casting: The full moon's energy is considered potent for casting spells, particularly those related to healing, love, and prosperity.

Embracing the Lunar Wisdom

As we bid farewell to this year and welcome the transformative energy of the Cold Moon, let us carry the lessons and insights it offers into the new year.

Each phase of the moon guides us through different aspects of our lives, and the Cold Moon is our gentle reminder to nurture our emotional selves and the relationships that enrich our lives.

Take a moment to nurture your energies this week, and reflect on the growth and changes you've experienced this year.

Whether through quiet meditation, a shared ritual with loved ones, or a simple moment of gratitude, embrace the closing of this lunar cycle as a sacred pause before the new beginnings ahead.
