Pagan Snapshots: Channeling Lunar Energy

first offered in approximately 1994
by Jeffrey Pierce

Much like the exercise Understanding the Sacred Moon this exercise takes place on two nights, one when the moon is full and the other when it is new. It isn't necessary for this exercise to take place on the exact day (or even moment) that the lunar cycle is at a specific point. It's sufficient if the exercise takes place within a three day period of the lunar phase.

Sit outside under the moon (or, if your environment isn't safe at night, in a window) and clear your mind. Imagine that you can feel the beams of moonlight as it comes down from the moon and enters your body, slowly filling you. As you begin to fully visualize the feeling, shift your focus from feeling it enter you to mentally pulling it into you. What does it feel like? What images or feelings do you associate with the energy and the way you interact with it? If you feel moved to respond to the moon in some way, feel free to do so.
