The Chaste Moon
Because
this Moon waxes full when snow is still on the ground in many places, it
holds the power of purity, innocence and joy. It speaks to the child within
us - a reminder of when life was simple, a time when a smile went a long
way, and everything imaginable seemed possible. Because of this, the Chaste
Moon makes us want to laugh, run and play, turn cartwheels, and have fun.
Beneath Her light, we find solutions to messy situations. Barriers flex and
give way, and our personal goals are suddenly attainable. The Chaste Moon
brings us the opportunity to toss out that which is old and useless. Her
coming is the signal to turn a page in life's book and start a new chapter.
Chaste Moon Ideas:
Wear white to honor innocence and joy. - Decorate your altar with white flowers - narcissus and other early
blooming flowers work well.
- Cast the Circle using the wand, cleanse it with burning sage, and
use white candles.
- Serve chocolate chip cookies and milk for libation
- Write down requests for inspiration your life, opportunity, and
fresh perspective, then toss them into running water, saying:
- "Take these, Water, as Your guests
These needs and wishes and requests
To the Cosmos on Your seas
As I will, so mote it be!"
- "Take these, Water, as Your guests
- Take steps to simplify your life. If you're a pack rat or having
trouble letting go of useless possessions, for example, light a white
candle in honor of the Chaste Moon. Then ask for Her help, try saying:
- "O Purest Moon of Wondrous Light,
Put what's useless in my sight.
Help me clear it all away.
Simplify my life this day."
