The Magic of Supermoons
Supermoons are full moons that occur while the Moon is at its nearest point to Earth. Due to the Moon's elliptical orbit, its distance from Earth changes throughout the month. Supermoons are marginally closer to Earth than the average full moon, making them appear extra large and bright from our perspective.
Native American Lunar Lore
The August full moon holds special significance, earning its name from the Native Americans who called it the Sturgeon Moon. They named it after the sturgeon fish commonly found in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain.
In Europe, this moon is associated with the element of fire and intense new energy. Iron and garnet are the mineral totems for this moon. Raspberry is the plant totem, and the sturgeon is the animal totem. The color is red, and the third Thunderbird Clan influences the position.
Harnessing the Energy of the Sturgeon Moon
In our modern world, we're constantly seeking ways to integrate mindfulness into our busy lives. The energy of the Sturgeon Moon is a powerful catalyst for connection, release, and reevaluation. It signals a time to let go of anything holding you back, open up to vibrant new energies, and embrace all that's radiant in you.
Cleansing Rituals
Leading up to the full moon, cleanse your spirit and your surroundings. Clean out closets and drawers, declutter your sleeping area, and organize old papers and receipts. Charge your crystals and jewelry under the moonlight to imbue them with its energy, amplifying their healing vibrations.
The full moon is a time of great power, perfect for spiritual work, gratitude, and rituals. Use the moon's fiery energy to bake bread, donate to a food bank, and leave a small symbolic loaf in your freezer as a charm for abundance. This moon is also an excellent time for an in-depth spiritual reading, offering insight and guidance on your life's path.
So, this August, let's celebrate these magical moments together and let the good times roll. Witnessing the full moon is a truly magical experience that you won't want to miss. Step outside and marvel at the beauty of the Moon as it shines its light upon the world. Wishing you full moon blessings, let's make this month of celestial events an unforgettable one. Remember to keep an eye on the southeast sky right after sunset!
