March - The Full Maiden Moon | Howl at the Moon Gems

The names corresponding to the 13 Lunar Year Full Moons are what I have come to call them. I give credit to all those before me for figuring out what seems to work and for passing it on to me. They can be called by many other names in respect to your particular path or tradition. (more moon information)

I call the full moon in March the Maiden Moon. The name is an indication and a celebration of the many maidens of springtime honored in this season, from Persephone, to Aphrodite, to Eostara, (from which the name Easter is derived), this moon hails and celebrates them all.

This is a time when the energy of life breaks the grip of winter's veil of illusion. Light has balanced and finally defeated darkness at the Spring Equinox.

At this time of year, revel in your new beginnings, growth, exploration, and prosperity. Use this moon as an opportunity to gather your resources in preparation for the season of growth and activity that will soon be arriving.

This moon is also known as the Lenting Moon, the Sap Moon, the Worm Moon, or the Alder Moon.

Hi there! I'm the owner of Howl at the Moon Gems. I have been infatuated with crystals and gems since I was a child when my maternal grandfather was my first teacher of the natural world. He taught me a lot of the old ways as to uses of herbs, purposes of tree woods, and gave me my first unofficial stone classes. A lot of time has passed since those early days ... and, while I have learned much, I am still learning.

Happy to share... I hope you enjoy my site, find it easy to use, and bookmark it as a reference on your journey. I am more than happy to share my information with you for your site -just ask permission first. Crystal Healing should only be used with the understanding that it is not an independent therapy, but one that is a part of a holistic healing approach.
