🕐 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE ~ Catch-Up!

Challenge entry 3

For this challenge, I explored the upcoming May full moon.

The May full moon is called the Flower moon. It is also called the Corn Planting moon, the Hare moon, the Milk moon, Frog moon (I do hear a lot of frogs at the local pond) Egg laying moon, Planting moon, or the Budding moon.

The moon is named in honour of the flowers that start to grow at this time of year. The other titles are all related to events happening in spring.

This is a time of becoming, what we have planted begins to grow. This is spiritually, psychically, energetically, and physically. On so many levels we have planted and we are growing. This is where I notice where I didn’t pay attention to what I was planting as I don’t always enjoy what I see growing, if that makes sense.( sometimes I have “planted” weeds :grimacing::joy: ) It is also a time where I enjoy and I’m grateful for the things that are growing in the way that I intended.

This moon is about blossoming into our best selves and reaching our highest potentials. It is a good reminder to embrace the cycles of life as we cycle out of winter into spring.

Apparently there will be a partial lunar eclipse this year, not visible in my area. Here is a link to an article I read on the flower moon written by the Peculiar Brunette.

The full moon in May will occur on May 5 and it will be a full moon in Scorpio.

Here is a link to the Spells8 ritual for the Flower Moon.

Happy blossoming everyone!!
