The other
major celestial cycle that influenced the lives of the ancient Celts was
that of the moon. The changing phases of the moon give a visible record
of the passing of time, and were recognized from the earliest times as
having a powerful effect on human activities, as well as on the natural
world.
The lunar
cycle affects the emotional side of human nature -- feelings, instinct,
receptivitiy, and imagination - and determines those human activities
that will be most effective at a particular time. Four phases of the moon
are distinguished and celebrated: new, waxing, full and waning moon.

Dark (New) Moon. This is the time of darkness, peace,
and rest. It is a good time for quiet or solitary activities - reflection,
dreaming, and inner creativity. It is the optimum moment for initiating
new ventures, but not yet putting your energies into their outward
manifestation. Spiritually, the new moon can bring any kind of new
beginning. Planting should be avoided at this time. |
Waxing Moon. This is the time of increasing
moonlight. It is good for becoming more extrovert and having more
outward vitality. Clarify your intentions, expectations, and goals,
and make use of the energy now available to put your plans into
action. Sow or plant species whose useful parts, such as the leaves,
stems, or flowers, are above ground. |
Full Moon. This is the culimination of the
moon's energies, when lunar influences are strongest. It is the
time when people are at their most sociable and extrovert, and is
the ideal moment for taking part in social activities and hosting
parties. You will need less sleep during a full moon, and you will
have a great deal of energy to invest in your goals in the outer
world. |
Waning Moon. This is when the outward energy
of the moon is beginning to decline; it ushers in a time of introspection.
Any unfinished business can move more easily toward completion at
this time. Likewise, you can begin to relax and savor whatever there
is to appreciate in your situation. Sow root crops, or plants with
bulbs, at the time of the waning moon. |
Full
Moon Names:
Historically, the Indians of what are now the northern and eastern United
States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each
recurring full Moon, this name being applied to the entire month in
which it occurred. With some variations, the same Moon names were used
throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior.
