The Crow Moon, named after the time of the year when much of nature starts to come alive again. The crows start to use their voice more, earthworms begin to emerge from the ground, and robins are singing their songs. As humans, we are invited to start to emerge from the quieter times of winter with qualities of curiosity and exploration. With the New Moon in Pisces, the moon's energy helps us go deep into our imagination and enhance our intuition.
Moon rituals are a magical way to connect with the natural cycles of life and nature. New moons remind us to check in with the parts of ourselves that are expanding and the areas of our lives that are experiencing new beginnings. In yogic philosophy, one big obstacle to letting go of suffering is what lives in our unconsciousness. As the new moon begins in darkness, we can use breath, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra to explore the parts of us that are in the shadows to bring us into our own light.
Feel free to bring a meaningful item to place on the Moon altar. It could be a crystal, a picture, a piece of jewelry, really whatever! Maybe something that inspires aspects of the Crow Moon or something that honors your shadow self.
