The New Moon is such a precious time, and living away from city lights now, I appreciate it even more. This time is also known as the dark of the moon, because the moon is barely, if at all, visible at night.
Tribal, shamanic and earth-based spiritual traditions recognize that this is a time of new beginnings, as the absence of light represents a clean slate from which to start anew. The New Moon represents new beginnings, and is a time to work with this darkness before the dawn to envision what could be possible. There is no light yet to shine upon it, so it is a time of dreaming, of working with the obsidian expanse to draw down possibilities.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Full Moon brings us completion and cultivation, with mother moon showing us her bright fullness. Full Moons are traditionally a time of release, allowing us to use the fullness of her silvery moon beams to bathe in for cleansing and healing.
