Tonight is super special because I’m off on my Full Moon Flight to catch the Cold Moon! This month's full moon is called the cold moon because it is getting colder in the north, which includes Salem! When I take my flight tonight I will make sure to wear my cape and maybe some gloves to stay warm. We just had our winter solstice, which means nighttime lasts for a long time. This means we get to see a lot of this moon because, and it will be super high in the sky. 

The Moon will peak on December 15th at 4:01 am E.T. This is the last full moon of 2024! Many people are preparing for the holidays, and preparing for a new year ahead. Full moons in general are amazing times to let go of any negative feelings and become an even better, happier you. It is even more important to use this full moon’s power because it is a time to reflect on the past year and manifest and plan for the future. You also may have a lot of emotions around this time, but you should be honest with yourself and let yourself feel all your emotions. 

Before I take off on my broom, I sprinkle it with Blue and Teal Magic Moondust. The holiday season may be hectic, but it is also a time to slow down and spend more time with the people you love! When I sprinkle my blue moondust over Salem, which represents serenity, I hope everyone can get a breath of fresh air and slow down. The teal moon dust represents honesty. We may feel like we have a lot of extra emotions this month, but you shouldn’t be scared to feel them. Be honest with yourself and everything you feel inside. 

This month, I will use my I am forgiving affirmation card. Now that the new year is approaching, we should leave all of our negative emotions in the past. This full moon is a time to focus on the present moment instead of the past. You should forgive yourself and anyone in your life who has maybe made a mistake but has put in effort to fix it.

When the Cold Moon shines bright, it reminds us to calm down and lets us truly feel our emotions. 

Crystals for December’s Cold Full Moon:

Emerald Crystal: 

My Emerald Green Aura Quartz Crystal represents growth and vitality for balance in perfect harmony. It gets its energy and emerald green tone from the magic of the earth’s green grass. While the grass may not be so green this time of year, think of all the animals that are hibernating and growing nice a big to stay warm in the winter. Resting and serenity are a necessity as you grow. Carry your crystal in your pocket as a reminder that change equals growth and vitality!

Mystical Mermaid Aquamarine Crystal:

My Aquamarine crystal represents beauty, passion, and honesty. Mermaids get to appreciate the beauty of the ocean and all the sea animals, and that is where the crystal gets all of its power. Even though it is winter, Mermaids still swim around and enjoy their home, but they also make sure to calm down and take time for themselves. I love the winter, especially when it snows and all the snow stays on the trees. Honesty is so important because it helps other people trust us and understand our own emotions. I carry this crystal in my pocket to remember to stay honest, remember the beauty that surrounds me, and stay passionate. 

My Favorite Cold Full Moon Activity

One of the coolest ways to celebrate the Cold Full Moon is by bringing a Dragon Plush to life! With a Dragon Crystal Magic Stuffed Animal Creation Kit, you can make your magical dragon friend. This dragon reminds me to stay calm when I feel anxious or stressed. Dragons have to keep calm too because if they don’t they may breathe fire!

My Favorite Hat for the Cold Moon: 

I love rocking my “Mercy Good” light pink witch hat! It is named after Sarah Good’s beloved infant and represents motherly love. My mom has always taught me to be honest and stay calm during stressful times. 

So, have a magical Cold Full Moon, and remember to share your sparkles with the world! You can always share your magic with me at @goodwitchofsalem.

Magically Yours, The Good Witch of Salem
