[ [ Moon Phase : Full Moon 
] ]
This week, the night skies will be blessed with a full moon on Saturday, April 16th . The exact time of peak illumination will depend on your location.
The full moon of April is called the Full Pink Moon 
. The pink moon marks a time when the woods are becoming bright and colorful, blooming with the blessings of the spring. This moon marks a time of playfulness and joy in the world.
Explore a special moon ritual and learn more about this moon on the Spells8 Full Pink Moon Ritual Page .
While each moon has its own unique qualities, every full moon is a celebrated time where the energy of the moon is at its most powerful. Now is a wonderful time to charge, cleanse, and absorb the potent energies of the moon.
For additional full moon inspiration, visit What to Do During the Full Moon 
You can find the current moon phase for your location as well as a daily lunar spell on the Spells8 Lunar Spell Page

Full Moon alert this week!

Whether it’s magickal or mundane, feel free to share your current happenings or give a shout-out to your fellow coven members in the comments below!
Blessed be!
Moonshine was out there with me for a little while & got a drink & went out. Then he went back to bed when he realized that I was just cleaning up & making lunches for the guys. 
Thanks for being awesome and inspiring conversation here in the forum 
I’ve come to realize that I wake up feeling the most refreshed on Sundays when I don’t have an alarm set for the morning. I wake up early still, usually around 7 AM, but I wake up to the sunshine through my window rather than darkness outside. If I could wake up with the sun every day, that would be heavenly 
I sent something to Germany a few weeks ago and it took quite a while to get there! At least the seller is amicable and is making you another one 
(no clue what this one means but it’s the only one I could remember) – I hope whatever you do for the full moon, you have a good time!
