Why I Chose This Lunar Cycle to Relaunch Moonlodge
When I decided to open Moonlodge again, I didn’t pick the date at random. I chose this lunar cycle for a reason.
The new moon that began on 21st September wasn’t just any dark moon. It arrived as a partial solar eclipse, an opening cut into the sky itself, a reminder that beginnings born in shadow can carry extraordinary power. Eclipses mark thresholds. They tear down what no longer serves and invite us to step into something more potent, more aligned, more alive. What better place to begin anew?
This cycle holds the Stag Moon, a time of instinct, protection, and vitality. Out in the fields the foxes slip through the hedgerows, the hawthorn berries glow red against fading leaves, and the clash of antlers echoes across the thinning land. It is the perfect cycle for Moonlodge to return: a season of standing tall, of listening deeply, of gathering strength before we descend into the darker months.
To relaunch here means every page, every practice, carries the energy of thresholds and power. It means we are not drifting along with the tide, we are choosing. Choosing to walk with the moon as compass and companion. Choosing to find strength in instinct. Choosing to begin again under a sky split open with possibility.
This is why I’ve opened Moonlodge freely for this Stag Moon cycle. So you can taste what it means to live by the lunar rhythm, rituals, lore, creative practices, herbs and crystals rooted in the season, tarot spreads, and prompts to guide your steps. What you see here is what Moonlodge always offers. Nothing hidden, nothing held back.
Because this cycle is not just another moon. It is a beginning. A doorway. A call to walk forward with clarity and fire.
Step into Moonlodge. The moon is waiting.
