Blossom and Bloom with the Flower Moon
As we draw ever closer to the warmer and longer days of summer, slowly awakened by birdsong and the breeze which sweeps through meadows and trees, we are gently reminded of the beauty of spring and all she brings.
I love the gentle nature of the Flower Moon – the soft glow she casts over the world and the whimsical inspiration that she weaves over me. There is a romance to her light as she brings forth a tender call towards new beginnings and transformation. To me, the Flower Moon is a time to blossom and bloom, to uncurl like a petal and transform into your true self. She inspires a quiet rebirth, awakens inner truth, and playfully evokes personal and emotional growth. She is a warm, encouraging glow, guiding you from the night-time sky.
The Flower Moon
Named after the abundance of wildflowers that bloom in early May, the Flower Moon is a poetically inspiring and strikingly beautiful time. She nurtures you, urging you to slow down, step outside and mindfully take note of the beauty that is all around. She is the peak of spring and will illuminate our skies this year, on May 12th.
Grow and Open
The Earth is alive with colour. Bluebells carpet the woodland in a sea of blue, golden dandelions radiate like the sun, and delicate blossoms shower the ground - each petal a reminder of the beauty of transformation. While you watch nature uncoil, you too should feel inspired to open your petals and confidentially step into your full potential. Allow the moon to inspire action, to guide you towards personal growth and to optimistically embrace one's potential.
Release and Let Go
As with all full moons, now is a good time to set boundaries, shred old beliefs and focus on what you wish to bring in. Release what no longer serves you and embrace joy and passion into your life. Now is the perfect time to deepen relationships and to let go of those that hold you back.
Love, Beauty and Creativity
Perhaps it's the scent of flowers in the air, the warm touch of the sun on bare skin or the glow of the moon in a clear night's sky – but there is something ever so romantic about the Flower Moon. It is a provocative time to connect to our loved ones, embrace joy, romance and passion and to work on bringing out our inner beauty. The quiet splendour of nature also brings with it a creative energy which may be pulling you towards starting something new, picking up a hobby or starting a new creative endeavour. Let this energy take you by the hand and see where it guides you.
Bury your Intentions into the Ground
One of my most cherished ways to set intentions during spring is to write them on scraps of paper and bury them deep into the soil with seeds. This way, as the seeds take root and grow, I am reminded that my intentions are doing the same. Nestled within the roots of nature, my dreams are taking root and quietly growing within me – a profoundly beautiful living metaphor to behold.
Weave Flowers in Your Hair
A symbol of new beginnings, beauty and the potential to blossom, flowers hold a sacred place in any full moon ritual. By creating a flower crown, you tap into the energies of growth and renewal, while honouring the divine female energy that is especially abundant during the Flower Moon. The act of gathering and weaving flowers into a wreath becomes a spiritually awakening ritual that celebrates the beauty of the natural world and aligns beautifully with the moon's themes of blossoming, rebirth and transformation.
Rose Quartz for the Flower Moon
The stone of unconditional love, rose quartz, is the natural pick to align yourself with during the Flower Moon. She will nurture self-love, enhance relationships and open your heart to the energy of this next lunar phase. Encouraging emotional healing and compassion, she perfectly aligns with the energy of the Flower Moon. A loving stone to hold during your Flower Moon rituals.
