July offerings

This July full moon has many different names across the world. It's called the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Mead Moon and Ripe Corn Moon. For 2024 this second Capricorn full moon of July is also an astrological Blue Moon.

July’s full Buck Moon swings back around for a powerful second spin in Capricorn - the same zodiac sign as June’s Full Moon. We currently calculate time with a 12 month solar year, rather than a 13 month lunar year. Every few years, the lunar cycle is disrupted to fit that extra Moon in.

Instead of a cycle of New Moon then Full Moon on a sign and its complement (Cancer/Capricorn), we get a cycle of Full Moon then New Moon in the next sign. (Capricorn, Leo). That’s where we’ve been these past few years.

imbolc

Imbolc is a celebration that has existed for centuries and has been passed down from generation to generation in different parts of the world. It has existed since the tenth century and holds great importance in the lives of many as it is linked to the fertility of land and livestock.


Imbolc welcomes the first wave of spring

Imbolc is observed on this day when people strengthen their connection with the world of nature and pray for a fertile land to produce plenty of crops the entire year. The best part about this occasion is that even if the history and practice surrounding the event is not ours, we can’t resist the amazing celebration that takes place.

navigate our stars with love

On our wonder | wander | women blog we welcomed a new product for the new year - We'Moon 2020. More than any appointment book - it is a lunar calendar, a handbook in natural rhythms, and a collaboration of international women's cultures - created and designed by we'moon to honor and celebrate wemyn.

The ideal tool to fortify us through these trying times. Be it agitated calderas all around the Ring of Fire. Or aggravated tantrums from impeached pretenders.




It is a valuable resource of useful information that can support us navigate throughout the year. For a child of the moon, awash in my Cancerian tides, it is already proving itself a godsend. Women of the world can truly unite under its sheltering banner.
