According to the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft (Amaranth, 2000), this moon is known as the Chaste, Seed or Worm moon. In the northern hemisphere, this moon occurs at the beginning of spring, a time of purity and newness, making it the perfect time to do magick for planting the seeds for success and hope.
Gemstones to Heighten the March Full Moon’s Energy
The gemstones that will help enhance the Seed moon’s energy are ones that have the properties of freshness, achievement, hope, faith, new beginnings and purity. Some common gemstones that have these characteristics include:
- Amazonite
- Amethyst
- Aquamarine
- Celestite
- Garnet
- Hematite
- Lepidolite
- Moonstone
- Sodalite
- Sapphire
- Turquoise
It is easy to incorporate these beautiful stones into a full moon celebration. A simple suggestion for a group activity is to have every participant bring his or her stones to the gathering. At some point in the evening, have everyone place the stones in a central basket, pot, cauldron or other container. The group can then do a meditation on the stones, focusing their thoughts on the stones and their various healing energies.
Easier still, simply carrying one or several of these stones in a pocket helps the subconscious mind connect to the desired energies.
Essential Oils to Enhance the Energy of March’s Full Moon
Essential oils not only smell nice, but they have healing properties as well. There are some basic safety precautions to be aware of before using them, however. Unless consulting an expert, ingesting essentials oils or using them on skin is not recommended. To use them safely for the March full moon, however, use an oil diffuser or pour drops of the oils into a bowl of water for scrying.
Again, the March full moon brings the energy of freshness, purity, new beginnings and success. Some common oils that have such properties include:
- Cinnamon
- Clove
- Cypress
- Geranium
- Grapefruit
- Juniper
- Lemon
- Lime
- Orange
- Pine
- Sweet Pea
Egyptian Goddess Isis Reflects the Energy of March’s Full Moon
Isis is associated with fertility, the moon, magick and rebirth. According to the goddessgift.com, “The ancient Egyptian goddess Isis has many gifts to share… Isis embodies the strengths of the feminine, the capacity to feel deeply about relationships, the act of creation and the source of sustenance and protection.
“At times Isis could be a clever trickster empowered by her feminine wiles rather than her logic or brute strength, but it is also the goddess Isis who shows us how we can use our personal gifts to create the life we desire rather than simply opposing that which we do not like.
“The myths of Isis… caution us about the need for occasional renewal and reconnection in our relationships. Isis also reminds us to acknowledge and accept the depths of our emotions.”
During a March full moon celebration, invoking goddess Isis can help participants connect with the the energy of new beginnings, starting over and purification.
March Full Moon Guided Visualization
Use the following visualization individually or with a group to tap into this month’s energy. Find a quiet and comfortable spot and allow about ten minutes to complete this activity.
- Relax your mind and body. Focus on breathing deeply and slowly. Allow the thoughts that come into your mind to leave, leaving a quiet, dark and safe space within. Feel the earth beneath you and the universe above you.
- Imagine walking in the warm morning sands of Egypt.
- The sun is just coming up and you can still see twinkling stars in the pinks and blues of the sky.
- Take a deep breath, inhaling the freshness of the morning. The coolness of the night still lingers, so give yourself a hug as your wrap yourself tighter in the beautiful shawl around your shoulders.
- Turn, and see the Great Pyramid.
- Take in its massive size and the way it seems to pulse with hidden energies.
- At its foot, is a figure seated on a blanket. Walk towards her.
- She sees you coming and smiles. She has been expecting you and beckons you to sit with her.
- This is the beautiful goddess Isis. She is the goddess of renewal, rebirth and the energy of new beginnings.
- Spend a few moments communicating with her. She has a message or a gift regarding your life and your upcoming plans.
- Stay here with her, watching the sun come up and feeling the warmth of the day wash over you.
- Finally, it is time to leave so thank Isis for her wisdom and gifts. Know you can come back at any time.
- Stand and walk away, slowly bringing your conscious mind back to the room you are in.
Celebrating the March full moon is a great way to connect with the energies of purity, success, hope and rebirth.
