13 Things To Do For A Wild Woman During The Full Moon

The Moon is the closest celestial body to Earth, and its gravitational pull and energy has long been known to have an impact on everything from the Oceans tides, farming and fishing practices, to personal moods, energy levels, and manifestation results.

While each phase of the Lunar Cycle carries a unique energetic significance, the moons energy is by far the most noticeable around the time of the Full Moon.

The Full Moon marks a time of energetic culmination and an explosion of spiritual energy on the inner planes.

Full Moon energy has a way of stirring up emotions and heightening psychic sensitivity. The Full Moon is a time when the faery and elemental realms are more active, and the subtle vibrations of the higher spiritual realms become more easily felt, accessed and reached.

The Full Moon also has a profound way of revealing what was once hidden in the shadows on a personal and collective level.

Symbolically, and by shining a light into the darkness of night, the Full Moon energy has a way of revealing what is no longer serving you, and what needs to be healed, integrated or released so you can continue to progress on your path of living your most vibrant life.

Because the Full Moon is a time of heightened spiritual energy, it is a wonderful time for meditation, cleansing and recharging your energy, healing, and for releasing and shedding the old to allow your highest divine potential to manifest in your life.

Our ancestors were much more connected to the night sky, and the cycles and rhythms of nature than we are today. The moon was observed for practical purposes like optimizing farming and fertility, as well as for sacred and ceremonial events and celebrations.

Through a Full Moon Ritual you’re able to reconnect with the rhythm and harmony of nature present in all of life… To honor the cycles of life and realign with the deep wisdom and guidance present within the earth, and written in the moon, sky and stars.

Write down everything you wish to release and let go of. It can be thoughts, behavior patterns, emotions, etc. Stand under the moonlight and read your list out loud. If you can’t go outside, do so by a window. You can do this even if you don’t see the Moon. Burn your list and give thanks to the Moon. This is a perfect time to burn the New Moon Abundance checks if you wrote one before.

This simple Full Moon blessing is one that I have been using since I was 13 each Full Moon. This can be employed at the end of any additional rituals you are doing or on its own as an easy blessing.

“The kind fates have blessed my home

The kind fates have blessed my heart

The kind fate has blessed my loved ones

I offer thanks with a humble heart

I thank the Goddess for my life

I thank the Goddess for my love

I thank the goddess for continued blessings already on their way.

Blessed be.”

The illumination of the Full Moon is a time of recharging and restoring energy to crystals and magical tools which can be extended to you as well.

Take some time to soak up the replenishing and invigorating energies of the moonlight taking into you the cleansing flow that comes. This is a time of renewal and release the things that have been blocking your energy. Picture the Full Moon light moving through you and clearing you of these energies leaving you glowing and free.

Use the full moon as a chance to charge your sacred tools such as tarot cards, crystals, stones, paint brushes, books,canvases,  anything that can benefit from some lunar blessings from Mother Moon and cleanse them from any built up unwanted energy. A simple charging for these items is to place them where they will be bathed in the Full Moon light, offer your intentions (pure creative potential, divine inspiration, sight into the sacred, a channel of truth, etc) and offer a blessing of thanks for the energy and illumination that is being imbued by the Mother Moon. If you can’t get them in direct moonlight, setting them in a windowsill works too.

Grab candles, incense, oils, flowers, water safe crystals, music, anything that makes your soul feel refreshed and cleansed and have an amazing powerful soul cleansing bath.

You can do this either in the morning and take your bath in the evening, or do it instead of the ritual bath.

Feel the warmth of the water rush down your body. As it does imagine all the things you wish to release. Any built up toxic energy within your body and within your life. Envision it all flowing down the drain, releasing from you into a pool of light.

The full moon tends to mark a big build-up of energy—both light and dark. This makes it the perfect time to cleanse your space; remove or let go of any of that built-up energy you no longer feel like harnessing, capturing or otherwise holding onto. Consider smudging your home or re-watching Marie Kondo’s Netflix show and implement the things that resonate with you. Live by the mantra “let everything that doesn’t belong to me go”—even if just for tonight.

Light a candle and before you begin it’s important to put your protections up. I like to envision a golden cloak of protection where only pure intentions of love and light can come through. Envision yourself placing the hood over your head. I like to actually do the motion as I envision it. Ask Spirit to be with you and to send any messages that you’re meant to receive and be open to receiving them.
