The Spirit of the Beaver Moon
As autumn wanes and winter approaches, the Beaver Moon rises in her silver glory — a symbol of preparation, protection, and purpose.
This full moon, often appearing in November, marks a time when beavers prepare their lodges for the cold. Spiritually, this lunar phase mirrors that same energy: it’s time for us to fortify our own foundations, release what weighs us down, and nurture what will sustain us through the darker months.
The Beaver Moon invites you to pause, reflect, and ground yourself. It’s a gentle reminder that slowing down is sacred — that stillness is part of the cycle of growth.
