The moon has always been very important to me.

Since I was a little girl, I have been attracted and in love with her. Its beauty, importance for all of us and the mystery that it still presents today fascinates me.

The moon since the beginning of time that is used for various things such as magical rituals, omens, also used in calendars due to its phases and important for humans because without it, the earth would have as many problems as tsunamis that life on our planet would not exist.

When I was a child, I was often told that people who died went to the moon, and I was a firm believer in that.

I remember going to my bedroom window and looking at the moon and remembering Some family members who had passed away.

I also came to think that when you die you go there too. Amazing how a child can change their train of thought.

In Natural Witchcraft, the Moon is the luminary that represents the changes and phases through which all living beings go through natural cycles: birth, growth, peak, decline and death.

In addition, as I mentioned above, the moon and its phases have been extremely important and used in various rituals of magic, with each phase of the moon having rituals that are specific, for example, When the moon is full, it is the right time to do spells related to love, fertility, courage and self-preservation!

As you can see, the moon has always had a big impact on my life and whenever I look at it, I can’t stop thinking about what I thought when I was little, that my loved ones are there.

I adore the moon and the moon adores us.
