The Cold Moon

Tonight's full moon is also known as the "Cold Moon".
Old Sayings & Lore:
Never cut your hair, begin a journey, move into a new house, or start a business on a Friday in particular, and especially if a New or Full Moon falls on Friday.
The word "create" comes from the same word-root as the word crescent.
In some legends, the Egyptians said that the Dark Moon and the Full Moon were the two eyes of Horus.
The natives of Madagascar call their isle the island of the moon.
To aim at the moon means to be very ambitious, to set your sights extremely high.
The feldspar gem known as the moonstone is said to become brighter and clearer when the moon is full.(moonstone jewelry is so pretty, I have a pair of earrings that I love)
The eastern branches of the Eskimo clans say that their people came from the Moon to Earth.

    Good afternoon, dear Lydia,

    I won't cut my hair nor begin a journey during the "Cold Moon". I won't start a business or move into a new house either. But it's not forbidden to "aim at the moon", right ?

    Wishing you a pleasant full moon meditation tonight
    Eva

    Hello Linda,
    Thank you! Gingerbread cookies are so fun to make and It's also nice when the house smells like gingerbread.
    Have a great evening,
