New Moon
Even in its dark days, the new moon has purpose and meaning, as it reminds us that the darkness is not to be feared. We offer to the moon our own strength and power, sustaining its life, so that it may begin another cycle. Listening to our intuition, we are guided into what is most effective, knowing the moon, even when dark, is still watching over and inspiring us.
