New Moon Tonight

Monday February 4, 2008
It's time for a new moon, and that means it's time to get revitalized! This is the time of the month when everything begins anew, not just the moon itself. Although some Pagans and Wiccans see this as a great time to do magical workings, many also view it as a time of rest. Depending on how actively magical a life you live, you may find yourself needing to take a breather every now and then, and simply get in touch with your spiritual and emotional inner self. Use the time of the new moon as a time when you give your "witchiness" a rest, and instead focus on rejuvenation.

On a mundane level, now's as good a time as any to begin something you've never done before. Ever thought about starting a new project, or taking up a new hobby? This is the time to get started!

If you don't have anything big planned, read on to learn what the new moon means, and how you can celebrate it:
