October Full Moon

October Full Moon Ceremony: Embrace Your Radiance

The October full moon, often called the Hunter’s Moon, is a time of preparation, gratitude, and embracing your personal power. Falling in the heart of autumn, this moon invites us to reflect on the abundance in our lives while letting go of what no longer serves us. It’s a perfect opportunity to reconnect with your inner goddess and honor your journey.

What the October Full Moon Represents

The Hunter’s Moon marks the season of gathering resources, both physically and emotionally, for the winter months ahead. It’s a time of grounding, focusing on your priorities, and embracing your sensuality and inner strength. This moon illuminates areas of life where we need balance, reminding us to cherish our unique beauty and let go of self-doubt.

How to Host Your Own Full Moon Ceremony

Transform your space into a sanctuary of self-love with this simple at-home ceremony:

1. Prepare Your Space:

   • Find a quiet area where you won’t be disturbed.

   • Cleanse the space with sage or palo santo to remove stagnant energy.

   • Set the mood with candles, soft music, and your favorite crystals like moonstone or carnelian.

2. Set Your Intentions:

   • Take a deep breath and write down what you wish to release (self-criticism, comparison, fear).

   • On a separate paper, write what you wish to invite into your life (confidence, passion, self-love).

3. Moonlight Meditation:

   • If possible, sit under the moonlight or near a window.

   • Close your eyes, focus on your breath, and visualize the moonlight washing over you, filling you with light and love.

4. Burn & Release:

   • Safely burn the paper with your "release" list in a fireproof dish, imagining those energies leaving your life.

   • Keep your "invitation" list as a reminder of your intentions.

5. Nourish Yourself:

   • End the ceremony with a self-care ritual. Take a luxurious bath, wear your favorite lingerie, or write a love letter to yourself.
