The
Esbat or full moon, has long been seen by pagan's as the best time to do
rituals and magick.
The
Celts believed that the impact of the full moon's energy and influence was
felt for three days before and three days after
the full moon.
The
Celtic year was divided by it's full moons into thirteen months, one for
each moon occurring during the
solar year.
We
can align ourselves with the energy of each full moon by paying attention
to the names that are frequently
given to them.
