Kristal & Kate share some of their personal moon magick thoughts and rituals.Show Notes:Intro & Invocation (0:00-2:35)Kristal and Kate describe the science of the lunar cycle and its relationship to the sun. They introduce the typical points of the cycle and highlight the dark moon as separate from the new moon and the end and beginning of the lunar cycle. The full moon, then, is the peak of the lunar cycle (2:36-12:08)Kate shares her moon devotionals, moving through the lunar cycle and the energies associated with each phase. Kristal elaborates on why we move in that cycle and how we align ourselves with those energies. (12:09-18:44)Next they chat about what they each do during the various phases in order to align their intentions with the moon’s energies. The new moon and waxing toward the full moon is good for setting intentions and taking action. The post full moon waning is good for gentle release and the final quarter waning is good for stronger banishing. (18:45-38:26)Kristal wraps up the episode with a discussion of each full moon’s designation (the wolf moon, etc.) and what those specific themes are associated with.
