Esbats & Full Moons
Lunar gatherings for Full Moon, Dark Moon, introspection, and devotion.
Esbats are lunar gatherings that occur on the Full and Dark Moons. They are times for introspection, meditation, contemplation, magick, and honoring the Goddess in her phases.
Full Moon
The Full Moon represents Our Lady and Goddess in her nurturing or motherly aspect. It is also a time of fertility, reproduction, and creation.
Dark Moon
The Dark Moon represents the desire and passion of Our Lady and Goddess, as well as aspects named in the source as chaotic, angry, wanton, the temptress, and the avenger. It is also a time for protection or defensive work, introspection of the shadow self, and deeper awareness of what is usually hidden within ourselves.
