Meditation with the Full Snow Moon
Full Snow Moon – February – Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February’s Storm Moon or Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult. Also known to the Celts as the Moon of Ice and the Chinese as the Budding Moon.
February 1 is the Imbolc, or fire festival celebrating the mid point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. A day also dedicated to the Celtic goddess, Brigid. Imbolic means “in the belly” and is a time honoring creativity, fertility and receptive, feminine energy. Candles are often tools used to celebrate this Celtic holiday. It is also a time we celebrate love!
The reflective light of the full moon gives a wonderful and magical sense of harmony and peacefulness. Meditating in its light gives an etheric and positively enchanting feeling of oneness and unity with nature and sky.
