Illumination and Gratitude

“I do not belong to despair.

I am the answer to a prayer they never thought would be heard.

I build as I remember. I dance as I resist.

And I thrive, because I can.”

We do this ritual for ourselves and for our people.

Full moons are a time of illumination, harvest, gratitude, power, femininity, and acknowledging what needs to be shed when the moon wanes.
