Waning to the Strawberry Moon
Greetings everyone! We appreciate you're joining in with us as we embrace the beginning of the month of the Strawberry Moon! What a special time of the earthly calendar year this truly is, especially if you enjoy all the wonderful food and drinks that are soon to come of the delicious strawberry like we do.
For those of you who are joining with us for the first time, we welcome you first off, and then we'd like to take a quick moment to explain to you the sacredness of why we've come together in such celebration and reverence to Grandmother Moon.
You see, every phase of the moon is sacred to us, because we know that eachphase of her monthly cycle is actually the Mother Goddess in a certain stage of her life, and in them she is hoping to teach each of us, especially we females what we call sacred wisdom teachings meaning lessons that each of you can apply in your life in a good medicine way and outcome of a better contentment in life. Each month their is a new and different moon, and each phase of each months moon brings with it an energy which you can and should use in your daily lives as well as in your spells and rituals.
​
The Dark Moon is the time when the moon appears completely covered in darkness. This is the time of rest, relaxation, peace, deep wisdom, powerful banishing, divination. This is a time to banish negative energies from our lives that we are serious about getting rid of. Any kind of magick you do at this time, you should know, will be VERY strong. Use it for banishing serious things like illnesses of the body and mind.
This time, we accept that we do not know all the answers and that everything that we need to learn will be revealed to us in time– and from that, we should feel peace.
During this, the Waxing phase of Grandmother Moon, reflects the Mother Goddess is in her maiden stage, making it the perfect time for positive transformations in our daily lives. As the Moon gets brighter, the energies of growth get stronger. The maiden is full of energy and is anxious to dance around the world!

The Waning Moon means the Mother Goddess is in her mature phase, most commonly known and referred to as her "Crone stage", making it the perfect time for letting go, clearing away, cleansing, releasing, shedding old patterns, and undoing bindings. This is a time of personal reflection as to where we're at as we proceed toward the lessons and growth of the next coming moon which will be the Thunder Moon.
As we've now passed through the full Strawberry moon time and proceed to wane onward, coven members are then highly encouraged to make their second wheel of the month which is their own personal Wheel of Misfortune, yes you read that right, a wheel of Misfortune. The purpose of this is to make a wheel of metal wire, decorated up in ribbon, and as you do, focus everything inflicting you that embodies misfortune into it that you would like to see leave your life. Upon the night of the Waxing of the Strawberry Moon rite, during ceremony, you will then discard it by rolling it away from you, burning it, or burying it as it is the appropriate time for letting go, clearing away, cleansing, releasing, shedding old patterns, and undoing bindings.
which is to symbolize good medicine and fortune that you want to welcome into your life and during the Waxing, commence rolling it towards you and hang it in your home.

The days just before the Dark of the Moon are best for doing magick for removal of anything that you don’t want from your life like bad habits, stress, negative energies, unsatisfying relationships, unfulfilling jobs, an unhealthy diet, or an anxious and negative mind. During this time, KM's Coven highly encourages all our members to make a wheel that embodies misfortune and discard it by rolling it away from you, burning it, or burying it.
The moon’s energy is getting weaker, as is the strength of the Goddess. But what comes with it is great wisdom. And you can learn from her and gain wisdom at this time.
