I’m off on my full moon flight to catch the wolf moon! 🐺🌕 This month's full moon, the Wolf Moon, will rise high in the sky on January 13th, and I can’t wait to take my magical broom for a ride! The Wolf Moon gets its name from the howling wolves heard during the cold, snowy winters of the north—including here in Salem! As I prepare for my flight tonight, I’ll be sure to bundle up with my cozy cape and gloves to stay warm on this chilly evening.

The long nights of winter give us even more time to enjoy this enchanting full moon, which will peak at 6:27 PM E.T.. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the year so far, embrace our emotions, and set intentions for the months ahead.

🌕 The Magic of the Wolf Moon

Full moons are powerful opportunities to release negative feelings and focus on becoming a better, happier version of ourselves. The Wolf Moon is extra special—it encourages us to reflect on our bonds with loved ones and embrace the strength of our "pack." Since it is the beginning of the year, it is also the perfect time to let your life guide you. 

Before I take off on my broom tonight, I’ll sprinkle it with Blue and Angel Magic Moondust:

• Blue Moondust symbolizes serenity and calmness. When I sprinkle it over Salem, I hope it brings everyone a moment of peace and stillness during the busy winter season.
• Angel Moondust represents guidance and light. This full moon is the perfect time to let our life guide us in the direction that we are meant to go in. 

✨ Magical Crystals for the Wolf Moon

Crystals are wonderful tools for embracing the energy of the Wolf Moon. Here are my favorites:

Angel Aura Quartz Crystal

My Aura White Angel Quartz Crystal stands for purity, guidance, and light. This crystal charges up when you hold it in your hands, take a deep breath, and clear your mind. I let this crystal guide me on my flight to the moon. Keep this crystal close as a reminder that your life and the people around you will guide you in the right direction, even if you make some mistakes. 

Blue Aura Quartz Crystal

The Sapphire crystal symbolizes tranquility, empathy, and clarity. We normally use this crystal to symbolize the beauty of the ocean, but it cwan also represent the beauty and calmness of another form of water, ice, and snow. In January, I will utilize the calmness I see in the snow and ice the same way I utilize the calmness that the ocean gives me in the summer! 

🌟 Wolf Moon Activities for Kids

Make this Wolf Moon magical for your little ones with these fun and meaningful activities:

1. Affirmations and Letting Go

Use the affirmation, “I am honest,” to release any lingering negativity. Encourage children to be honest with themselves and others, focusing on kindness and confidence.

2. Dragon Crystal Magic Kit

Celebrate the Wolf Moon by bringing a dragon plush to life! With a Dragon Crystal Magic Stuffed Animal Creation Kit, kids can make their very own magical dragon friend, which serves as a reminder to stay calm and strong.

3. Outdoor Moonlit Howling

Bundle up and head outside to gaze at the bright Wolf Moon. Teach kids how to howl like a wolf under the moonlight—it’s a fun way to connect with nature!

My Favorite Wolf Moon Hat

For the Wolf Moon, I love wearing my Bridget Bishop Witch Hat, a beautiful light pink hat that symbolizes grace and resilience. She was the first woman to be executed in the Salem Witch Trails, this hat reminds me of the power of kindness and staying grounded during challenging times.

🌕 Closing Thoughts

When the Wolf Moon shines bright, it calls us to slow down, connect with our loved ones, and embrace our emotions. Take this opportunity to celebrate the magic of the season and howl under the moonlight!
