The Maiden, Last Night Waxing

Key Phrase: "Wouldn't it be lovely if..."

This is the last night before the night of the full moon. Again, we speak to the Maiden of our hopes, goals, and dreams.

Have some of them been realized or partly realized in the last almost two weeks? Have they changed any in that time? Subtle change or radical change? How we need to refocus and reaffirm our intentions? Is there anything you wish to thank the Maiden for at this time?

When we have redefined these things in our conversation with the Maiden, using the candle as a focus, we bring renewed clarity and energy to our hopes and our general and specific goals. Then, we release that energy into her hands and the universe as we blow out our Maiden candle.

NOTE: The Maiden's part of the moon cycle is at its highest energy between Imbolc, 1st of February to 21 June, Midsummer. Beltane, 1st of May is her special day.
