Full Oak Moon
Full Oak Moon is the full moon before Yule. The oak is a symbol of strength and eternity. When the winter is in full reign over the Earth, it is important to remember the oak’s endurance. To survive the trials of winter, people must find within themselves the oak’s great strength. I find this year I am finding my inner strength to move through harder times using that strength. I find it very fitting that today is stormy and cold and the wind is blowing the remaining leaves from the trees. Even though this year the Oak Moon is early, somehow the weather seems quite fitting and today I feel deep in winter. It is important at this time of year that roots are pushed deep into the Earth so you can survive through the storms - no wonder it is a time of family gatherings and sharing of resources (Thanksgiving, Holiday events and such) - we need our families and they help us find our inner strength when the world around us seems brutally cold.
