the full moon is the flowering of those seeds, before it falls back to the earth for renewal.

During the next Full Moon, we invite you to gather around the globe in celebration. Be creative. Be elaborate. Be simple. However you celebrate is perfect.

In the coming days, feel free to share with us. Write an email/send photos and we will include on this page. We've included some of your New Moon rituals below.

Dearest Muse Hearts,

My mum, my niece Daisy and I did a New Moon ritual together when I was home in England. It was so beautiful to share that part of my life with them and I was moved to tears as we sat together before the altar we had created in my mum's living room.

Daisy was very excited to create the altar (this was her first ritual of this kind) and put down flowers, candles, drawings she had created, next to the salt in a terracotta bowl, and the wooden candlesticks of my great grandmother that my mother had put on the altar.
Daisy decorated us with her jewellery (and had several costume changes - she's definitely my niece!!). We sprayed each other with lavender water, held hands around our altar and Om-ed together (Daisy loves to Om!).

We called out the names of women we loved and beckoned their spirits (Daisy also called in several of her favourite dogs!). Daisy lit her candle and made her "wishes" ("I wish for flowers"...), followed my mum and I. My sister was very present in our blessings for manifestation of ease, comfort and rest this month, after giving birth 2 weeks before to Daisy's new brother, little Archie. Daisy decided we should make music and played her new bells as my mum and I toned.

My mum and I added our prayers for the world: peace, an end to greed, hunger, oppression. We Om-ed 3 more times to end and blew out our candles (and Daisy tasted the salt with great delight!).

It was such a precious moment for me and I am deeply grateful for SpiralMuse holding this and making it possible in my life. I felt very connected to you all.

With love, Pen

New Moon, New Days I celebrated the new moon with four other women last night, a time of turning within under a moonless sky. We honored the dark goddess Kali, the goddess of destruction. Fierce and bloodthirsty she dances the dance of mayhem and death, striking fear into the hearts of
