Tonight is a new moon, meaning new dreams, hopes, a fresh start and new beginnings for the weeks ahead. I absolutely {LOVE} this phase in the moon cycle as it’s time to start afresh and dream more dreams.

Please join me in gathering images and words to create a Full Moon Mandala or Dream Board for the Full Worm Moon on Thursday March 8th. On this date, I will post my mandala, invite you to share yours and let’s visit everyone to send positive energy to manifest our dreams. I also participate in Jamie Ridler’s dream board circle on her blog, so please also pop over to her site too to spread the love further.

The Full Worm Moon {Northern Hemisphere}

This moon signifies the earth starting to soften and thaw from winter snow so the earthworm casts appear. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

Full Worm Moon prompt: What hopes and dreams do you feel may be coming out of hibernation, ready to come to the surface and show themselves?

The Full Corn Moon {Southern Hemisphere}

If you are in the southern hemisphere, you will be gathering for the Full Corn Moon. This full moon’s name is attributed to Native Americans because it marked when corn was supposed to be harvested. {This moon can sometimes be the Harvest moon, depending on when the Autumn Equinox appears}.

Full Corn Moon prompt: What fruits of your labor and ideas are you beginning to see come to fruition? What are you getting ready to harvest?
