| Waning Moon | |
| The period between the Full Moon and the New Moon is called the | |
| Waning Moon. This is a time for banishing and rejecting things in our | |
| lives that we no longer wish to carry around with us. Negative | |
| emotions, bad habits, diseases, and ailments can successfully be | |
| banned during this time.* | |
| During the Waning Moon the Mother Goddess is transformed into the | |
| Crone. Invoke Her in this guise. | |
| The Crone, or Dark Mother, sometimes called the Hag, has black as her | |
| color, the color of darkness where all life rests before rebirth. | |
| This aspect of the Goddess is Winter, night, wisdom, counsel, the | |
| gateway to death and reincarnation, the Waning Moon. | |
