Welcome To Full Moon And Rituals

The Wolf Moon: Calling Back Our Inner Strength

The Wolf Moon, the first full moon of the year, rises during the heart of winter when nights are long, the air is sharp, and survival depends on instinct, community, and inner strength. Traditionally named for the wolves who howled outside villages during this time, the Wolf Moon reminds us that even in isolation, we are not alone.

This moon speaks to endurance, intuition, and reclaiming parts of ourselves that may have gone quiet during times of hardship or busyness. It asks us to listen closely—both to the world around us and to the voice within.

For witches, the Wolf Moon is a powerful time to:

• Reconnect with personal power

• Strengthen boundaries and wards

• Reclaim confidence and courage

• Honor intuition and instinct

• Call back lost or scattered energy

Where the New Moon whispers of beginnings, the Wolf Moon howls—reminding us of who we are at our core.

Working with the Energy of the Wolf Moon

The Wolf Moon encourages us to stand firmly in who we are, to trust our instincts, and to honor the strength that carried us through the darker seasons. This is not a gentle moon—it is protective, primal, and fiercely honest.

Ask yourself:

• Where have I been dimming my voice?

• What strength have I forgotten I possess?

• What boundaries need reinforcing?

• How can I show up more fully in my practice?

Wolf Moon Ritual: Reclaiming Strength & Instinct

This ritual is best performed under the full moon or the night following.

You Will Need:

• One candle (white, silver, gray, or black)

• A small bowl of water

• A crystal for strength or protection (obsidian, black tourmaline, moonstone, or quartz)

• Optional: incense or smoke cleansing tool

Ritual Steps:

1. Prepare Your Space
   Cleanse your space with smoke, sound, or breath. Stand or sit comfortably and take three slow, grounding breaths.

2. Light the Candle
   As you light your candle, say:
   “By the light of the Wolf Moon, I stand in my strength.”

3. Connect with the Moon
   Hold your crystal and gaze at the moon if visible, or close your eyes and imagine its light surrounding you.

4. Speak Your Intention
   Say aloud or silently:
   “I call back my strength, my instinct, and my inner knowing.
   I release fear, doubt, and silence.
   I walk forward protected, grounded, and true to myself.”

5. Seal with Water
   Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and touch your forehead or heart, sealing your intention.

6. Close the Ritual
   Sit quietly for a few moments. When ready, extinguish the candle with gratitude.

Carry your crystal with you or place it on your altar as a reminder of the strength you reclaimed.

A Final Reflection

The Wolf Moon teaches us that strength is not loud—it is enduring. It lives in the quiet moments, the hard choices, and the courage to remain true to ourselves.

As the moon wanes, carry this energy forward. Trust your instincts. Honor your boundaries. Walk your path with confidence.

The pack is closer than you think.

The Worm Moon: Awakening, Renewal, and Gentle Emergence

March 3

The Worm Moon marks a powerful turning point in the Wheel of the Year. As the ground begins to thaw and earthworms reappear in the soil, this full moon signals the return of life, movement, and possibility after the long winter months.

This moon is about emergence—not rushing forward, but stirring awake. It reminds us that growth begins beneath the surface, often before we are fully aware of it. The Worm Moon encourages patience, renewal, and trust in the process of becoming.

For witches, the Worm Moon is a time to:

• Awaken dormant intentions

• Begin gentle transformation

• Clear lingering stagnation

• Prepare for active growth

• Reconnect with hope and momentum

Working with the Energy of the Worm Moon

The Worm Moon bridges winter and spring. It carries the promise of what’s to come, without demanding immediate action. This is the moment to check the soil of your life—what’s ready to grow, and what needs clearing before it can.

Ask yourself:

• What is beginning to awaken within me?

• What ideas or intentions survived the winter?

• What habits or energies no longer belong in this next season?

• How can I support steady, sustainable growth?

This moon favors cleansing, intention-setting, and preparing space—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Worm Moon Ritual: Awakening New Energy

This ritual focuses on clearing old stagnation and gently calling in renewed life force.

You Will Need:

• One candle (green, white, or brown)

• A small bowl of soil or earth

• A piece of paper and pen

• A crystal for growth or renewal (green aventurine, moss agate, quartz, or moonstone)

Ritual Steps:

1. Ground Yourself
   Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from your feet into the earth beneath you.

2. Light the Candle
   As you light the candle, say:
   “By the light of the Worm Moon, I welcome renewal and growth.”

3. Set Your Intention
   On the paper, write one intention or goal you wish to nurture in the coming months.

4. Plant the Intention
   Fold the paper and place it beneath the soil or gently press it into the earth, saying:
   “As the earth awakens, so too does this intention.”

5. Charge with Energy
   Hold your crystal and visualize steady, healthy growth—not rushed, not forced—just unfolding naturally.

6. Close the Ritual
   Sit quietly for a few moments. When ready, extinguish the candle with gratitude.

If possible, return the paper to the earth outdoors or keep it on your altar until the New Moon.

A Final Reflection

The Worm Moon teaches us that beginnings don’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes they come softly—through small shifts, quiet readiness, and the courage to begin again.

Trust what is stirring. Tend it gently. Growth has already begun.
