The Full Cold Moon rises on December 4th, bringing a quiet, crystalline stillness and the reminder that rest is a sacred, necessary part of the cycle. As the final supermoon of the year, it invites us to release what weighs us down, soften into silence, and return to the inner fire that carries us through the deepest part of winter.

In this episode, we explore the folklore and origins of the Cold Moon, why this lunation symbolizes endurance and resilience, and how its placement in Gemini highlights clarity, communication, and community. We also walk through a tender, rhyming cord-cutting ritual for release, along with journal prompts for shadow work and gentle introspection. You’ll find correspondences, deities, herbs, crystals, and reflections to guide your practice, as well as a look into how I am personally honoring this moon through rest, therapy-supported shadow work, and intentional stillness.

A reminder that while witchcraft is a powerful source of support, it is not a substitute for mental health care or medical treatment. If you are struggling, you are not alone. My Instagram and TikTok messages are always open.

For those who feel called to deeper support, my cord-cutting spell offerings are available through Ko-fi. Link below.

Journal Prompts:

• What do you feel called to release?
• What is sitting beneath the surface that needs to be acknowledged?
• How can you bring more slowness and peace into your life?
• What is a strength of yours that you don’t give enough credit to
• What is your relationship with rest?
