Tonight's Full Moon is the Long Night's Moon. The nights are long and dark and the cold of winter is upon us. This Moon is also known as The Moon Before Yule. The days get shorter and the nights longer as the Winter Solstice approaches with the longest night of the year.During these long cold nights, even when things are darkest we know that the darkness is only temporary and the sunlight and warmth will return soon. This is the perfect time to evaluate your life and think about the things you have had to endure and have survived. In Wiccan/Pagan traditions, the grain has been reaped and the God has journeyed to the underworld, awaiting the time of His rebirth at Yule. Just as the God has embraced death so that he can be reborn, sometimes part of our own life must be discarded to make way for a new beginning.
If you have already put the darkness behind you, take the opportunity to reach out to others who are still suffering from the chill of winter, whether physically or spiritually. Open your heart and share your good fortune with others.
