Cold Moon

Moon Phase: 2nd in Cancer (Full Moon @ 0857 EST)
Planet: Mercury
Colour: Yellow

On the year's first full moon, also called the Cold Moon and Wolf Moon, take time to reflect on the magic and medicine of the wolf. A popular animal ally with Witches and magic users, the wolf is a pathfinder, leader, and teacher. The wolf has an incredible sense of family, but also independence. The wolf encourages the teacher in us to share our knowledge. Perform a spell to tap your inner wisdom. Whether sharing your knowledge with circle or coven mates or teaching a formal class, calling on the wolf will give you the strength to walk your individual magical path and help others find theirs.
Set up your altar with white candles and a representation (small statue, photo) of the wolf. As the full moon rises, face the moon and call upon the wolf's magic. When ready, repeat the spell below three times.

On this enchanted night of the full Wolf Moon
Send wisdom to me, by this Witches' tune.
Ally and friend, I honor the moon at which you bay,
Help me teach and lead in the best possible way.
