In this episode, the longest yet, we step beneath the moon together and explore the magic of the lunar cycle—from the quiet darkness of the new moon to the radiant fullness of the full moon and every phase in between. We’ll walk through the history, folklore, and mythology of the moon across cultures, uncovering the stories of Selene, Chang’e, Máni, and more.

We’ll also explore how to work with each phase of the moon in your own practice—through intention setting, manifestation, release, divination, and ritual—along with a deep dive into lunar correspondences, moon magic, and the connection between the moon and the body.

Whether you are just beginning your practice or returning to the roots of your magic, this episode is an invitation to align with the natural rhythm of the moon… and in doing so, reconnect with yourself.

• The history, folklore, and mythology of the moon
