The first full moon of 2023 approaches us today and it's a reminder to think deeply about what you need this year. It is also called the wolf moon.  Creating space to center your energy and show yourself compassion should be a priority.

 Don't be afraid to go against anything that no longer serves your higher self - and choose to embrace things that make you feel at home, balanced, and filled with vitality.

This full moon is a time of deep and cleansing release. We are longing to feel the release of letting ourselves let go of old chapters. This is a time when we are being granted the strength to feel it all and allow a deep healing to take place.

Let this full moon illuminate what you are ready to fully release - any past experiences or emotions that still carry a charge for you must be fully released if you are going to move forward.  This is the perfect time.  What is technically in your past but still sucking life force energy from you, still circulating in your thoughts, still influencing your moods, behavior, and choices?  Let it make itself known now, then dedicate the coming two weeks of waning moon to cutting cords with it and laying it to rest so that your energy can be used creating your new.

This full moon is asking us to step up, starting with our internal so we can be the change that is needed for the external world.  Are you ready to shine?

A full moon ritual to release.

Releasing our fear and lower frequencies within us to fully let go of is a fundamental practice to maintaining our higher frequency.  It holds us back from manifesting our true potential and can cause significant mistrust in both ourselves and those around us.  In order for magic to work, the person most keep their mind free from fear and lower frequencies to allow magical energy to flow freely.  Work this ritual to face your fear and any lower frequencies, ultimately releasing it so that you can rise above its limitation and reclaim your personal sense of power.

For this ritual

You will need a piece of paper and something to write with.

You can add anything that represents your fear or lower frequencies, herbs, incense, oils to anoint.  There is no right or wrong way to do this so go with whatever feels good to you. 

An outdoor space or planter where you can bury your paper or bundle of items.

If you are making a bundle, use a bag or a box something biodegradable so Mother Earth can transmute your fears and lower frequencies.

Some herbs or oils to consider are bitter leaves or berries, burnt or charred twigs or sticks, to represent the feelings of us feeling bitter or burnt out respectively.  

Once you have selected what will go inside your bundle or written all the things that you are ready to release.  Take it outside and cleanse the space(sage, palo Santo, incense, essential oils, energy).  Cast a circle if you feel called to do so. And sit quietly in meditation on what you are about to do.  Bury your bundle or paper, which ever is your choosing.  Once the bundle or paper is buried, give thanks and express your trust that you know that this will help you heal.  Give thanks to the earth for composting this fear and lower frequencies into strength.  Bless and release it.  Know that is is done.  Open your circle in gratitude. Leave and don’t look back.  

Happy Full Moon!
