February Tips and Tricks - Snow Moon ritual

Hello friends! Today is the full Snow Moon, which has a lovely meaning aside from the cold imagery the name invokes. The Snow Moon is a time to start a cycle of self-care and analyzing personal relationships. This month, some friendships and even romantic relationships will be under a microscope - and if the connection is strong and true, it will endure. However, if there is a weak, superficial, or negative connection, this month may be the time to break away. I suggest definitely taking some time to do introspection, either through meditation or journaling, to see if you're truly happy with all the relationships in your life.

For the full moon, I always charge my crystals. The full moon energy (when it's not a chaotic energy) is wonderful for the work we do. I simply take the crystals I use the most (and some I know I'll be using in the future), and place them in a bowl or box and take them outside to rest under the full moon's light until morning. For me, I'm up before the sun, so I have no problem getting them inside before it's daylight.

I also always make moon water, because a sip of that in the mornings, with a whispered wish or affirmation for the day, can really get the mojo moving.

This time, I also took my personal Florida Water outside to charge. I use this for cleansing, and while the bottles I have in stock for selling are charged under the waxing moon (for beautiful building energy), I personally prefer the full moon spirit.

Tonight, because I've been very disconnected from practicing due to family-related stress (my mom has been in the hospital for almost 3 weeks), I decided to do a Drawing Down the Moon ritual as well, which you can see on my TikTok, @itskimmyb.

For the chant, see below. This is a standard chant, but you can always adjust to fit your needs!

Mother Goddess, lend me your light,

Give me your power on this magical night.

I invoke you into my being and soul,

Fill up my vessel, make me feel whole.

I stand before you in awe and in love,

I cherish your gifts you send from above.

I ask you tonight to show unto me,

My mother, my Goddess, so Mote it Be!
