Snow Moon, Hunger Moon

It's been a long cold winter, heavy on snow and ice, even here in my usually winterfree home wilds! There's a cold icy rim on the moon, sparkling bright and hard as the heart of winter

Cold and hard, to be sure, but beautiful too, glinting into bits of winter moonlight, to be worn at a midnight Circle Dance:

and ring in the soft chiming voice of ice crystals singing together on snowy evenings

Beautiful or no, all the glitter wears on the eyes and all the cold eats aways at the spirit. It's enough to make any heart hungry for warmer weather, and fresh green growing things-- or maybe just a little bit of ripe fruit, Persephone style

and a maybe a little shelter, hidden under the sparkle and edges of the ice

to stay warm and wait for spring.

If you're hungry for brighter skies too

be brave! March brings the return of birds, and the rising growth of trees. What FAE and strange lovelies will the Crow Moon bring...?
