Good Morning, time to rise & grind! Itâs a new day, a fresh start. Here is how I make the most of my mornings, before my 2 girls wake up and take off running lol!
This is the month to give thanks. Not only to the Great Spirit, but to yourself too. According to The Old Farmerâs Almanac, the name âFull Sturgeon Moonâ was given to this monthâs moon by Native American tribes of the Great Lakes region. In this area of the country, they were hunters and fishermen, and they knew that Sturgeon fish were most easily caught at this time of year.
Different tribes had different Moon name preferences. Other examples for August are: âWheat Cut Moonâ (San Ildefonso, and San Juan), or âMoon When All Things Ripenâ (Dakotah Sioux) or âBlueberry Moonâ (Ojibway) & the âFull Green Corn Moonâ. Since every Full moon is different you can view a list of all the Full Moon names and their meanings  as well as see the Full Moon Dates chart .
The Old Farmerâs Almanac teamed up with Slooh again for a 30-minute broadcast to explore the depths of our latest monthly visitor, the âFull Sturgeon Moon.â Astronomy editor for The Old Farmerâs Almanac, Bob Berman, discussed what causes the Full Moon, point out some of its interesting features, and preview the upcoming series of Supermoons which start their arrival this fall. Janice Stillman, editor of The Old Farmerâs Almanac, shared some of the legend and folklore surrounding this Moon, which you can watch here.
Almost every full moon comes with Folklore passed down over time:
- Clothes washed for the first time in the full Moon will not last long.
- If you glimpse the new Moon over your right shoulder, you will have good luck. - To have a project prosper, start it during the new Moon.
- Babies born a day after the full Moon enjoy success and endurance.
Many people also partake in a Full Moon Cleansing or release which allows you to take one solid step, with a symbolic action. It can be a powerful time to release, cast out, unburden yourself, purge, etc. You celebrate your emergence by stepping out of an old skin, identity, behavior, attitude, relationship. A full moon cleansing ritual helps you by marking this inner transformation in a formal way.
Full Moon Release
Items youâll need: Floating candles, a large bowl, water, matches, Your Beaded Aura Mala or piece, a pen & paper.
Cleanse your sacred area with an opening prayer with your Beaded Aura Mala or Piece, a sage smudging, and/or by burning some incense.
Place the large bowl in front of you, or in the middle of your gathering on a table.
Light one or more candles inside the bowl. Look to the skies. Breathe in the night air.
Write down on separate slips of paper the things you want to release or change.
One by one, read out loud the words you have written on each slip of paper ( If these things are too personal to read out loud in a group setting, read them silently to yourself. Just remember⊠our words have power. Set your intention to release.
As you place the paper into the bowl, declare what youâre releasing. (If you have a campsite barbecue or bonfire going thatâs cool, just toss the slips of paper into the fire one by one.
Allow yourself to feel the transfer of what youâre releasing to the candle. Also allow the candle to keep burning in the bowl as a symbol of the letting go process. The flame is a purifier, and symbolizes the sparks of inspiration as well.
Above all, give yourself kudos for honoring your own growth. Celebrate this release by sharing a feast under the full Moon!
âIf you love a flower, donât pick it. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.â â OSHO
