Powerful Worm Moon Meaning

You may already know that a Full Moon carries a lot of energy and power, and as humans we can use this time of the month to our advantage. Moon rituals have been around for thousands of years and they are believed to be a gateway for change. Evidence of moon worship has been uncovered at archaeological digs all over the world, from the ancient Celts to the Egyptians. 

A Full Moon occurs when the earth, sun and moon are in alignment with the earth in the middle. During this brief period you usually have a 48 hour window to align with the energies of the Full Moon and during this time you can perform your own rituals. This is the time to let go of all that no longer serves you, to offer gratitude, to meditate and to pray. Whatever ritual you adopt be sure to be fully present when you perform it.

The Worm Moon occurs in March and is so named because it coincides with the time of the year where the ground in the northern hemisphere starts to thaw and nature starts a new cycle. This is also the time when earthworms begin to rise and appear. This is a symbol of new life and a very powerful time to manifest. According to many spiritual traditions the Worm Moon is particularly potent. 

A way to not let this March Moon pass you by is to set aside 30-40 minutes to carry out your own ritual. Here is  a simple ritual you may wish to try.

1. Begin by clearing your space, you may wish to do this with sage and also burn a candle. If you have a specific Moon Candle burn that, if not any normal candle will do. You may also wish to use any essential oils and crystals, choose ones that symbolise fresh beginnings. A few drops of citrus oils and crystals such as Moonstones or Clear Quartz are perfect.

2. Once you are ready, write down on a piece of paper all that no longer serves, include places, people, situations etc. Don't hold back, let it all flow. Maybe, even list your own character traits that you no longer wish to carry forwards into the next moon cycle. 

3. When you are ready to let them go, carefully allow the paper to burn in the flame of the candle, ensuring you do not touch the flame. You may wish to roll the paper up tightly first and have a bowl at the ready to extinguish the paper afterwards. As you watch the paper burn, feel all that has been burdening you disappear as it burns to ash.

4. Then once all the paper has burned and turned to ash, you may wish to close your eyes and breathe in the energy of relief. You may literally feel the load being removed from your shoulders. At this point it is a good opportunity to give as much gratitude as you can for all that is in your life right now!

5. The next step is to write down your goals, wishes, dreams and desires and ask the energy of the moon to align your vibration with all that you intend to manifest. 

6.  You may want to sit in quiet meditation with the energy of the moon. Once you have finished, thank the Moon, extinguish the candle and leave your ritual with a knowing that the universe will deliver in its own time and all that you need to do is to stay grateful and expect your dreams to come true.
