I'm neither Wicca nor pagan but I have looked a bit into the Celtic calendar. Coligny calendar - WikipediaDear Hindus, dear Wiccans, dear (Neo-)Pagans,
do you have any special practices or rituals related to the moon phases, especially to full moon?
Thanks for your replies.
Yes! I'm not always good about practicing ritual consistently, but this is one I've been pretty good about over the past year. I'll be doing this today, in fact - sometimes I do it a day before or day after (the moon is basically full in appearance for a three day period).
What I do is something similar to a chat with a dear friend. Before Moon, I take an account of what the last moonth has brought and how it relates to themes of change and transformation (domains of Moon). I also think a bit about what the next moonth may bring, again relating to those themes of change. The energy of Moon to me is quiet and introspective in this way - an ideal time to reflect and to think about life's changes and the constancy of change. Sometimes these chats turn very philosophical.
I remember the chat I had with Moon shortly after lockdowns began, for example. I talked with Moon about how some of my people were referring to "the new normal." I said to Her that I understood the sentiment, but didn't agree with it at all. There never was any normal; one of the mysteries of Moon Spirit is to embrace and acknowledge that everything is always in motion, always changing. There wasn't a "normal" before, only complacency in thinking things will somehow be the same forever. That is not the way of our world. Through acknowledging things constantly change, I guess I wasn't really bothered much by all the changes. The lessons of Moon helped make me resilient.
