Well said, Richard. Very well said.

When I worked as a Paramedic, I dreaded working on a full moon. All KINDS of weirdos come out of the woodwork.

If anyone is interested, there's a good book titled Full Moons by Paul Katzeff. It's divided into 3 parts: the first deals w/myths and folklore, the second deals w/scientific research regarding the moon's influence on tides, weather, animals, and the murder/suicide rate, etc. The third deals w/theories explaining the apparent effects of the moon. It's copyrighted 1981 and I bought it in the early 80's. This thread made me search my bookshelves for it and I'm going to read it again.

Can someone revive this thread on the next new moon so we can remember? When is the next one? I see tonight it's full I think.
I believe in the LOA as well and this can only be a positive thing if that's how you intend it to be.

Sounds like a lovely little practice. (and I hope I'm not treading on your thread, but I wanted to address Popcornbird's comments)

Popcornbird- Rituals like this are helpful because it encourages us to examine our thinking & change our focus, not because this will "magically" make something happen, or that we believe "it's the full moon" doing something. Every step of the process acknowledges the Law of Abundance: that everything we need is provided by our loving Creator (or insert whatever Name works for you), and that we are open to receiving these gifts.

Rituals also keep us mindful of the Law of Attraction: whatever we put our focus on increases. (If you focus on abundance and prosperity, you realize your need is always met, just when you need it. If you focus on lack, that's what you get - there never seems to be enough of anything.)

Different strokes for different folks.

PCB - it's not compulsory to do this (it's known as a bit of fun). Your God also gave us the ability to look further than the end of our noses and explore all sorts of things

Looking forward to getting my fortune, moving to the country and getting my goldie (but will keep up the mundane day to day earning of money, just in case)

Yesterday was the new moon. The full moon is in approximately two weeks. (I haven't looked up the date yet.) Tradition states that you begin something on the new moon and work up to the full moon, the culmination. Going from the new moon to the full moon is a time of increase. That's when the moon is said to be waxing. Going from the full moon the new moon is a time of decrease, when the moon is waning.

There are people who, if they want their hair to grow faster, will get it cut on a new moon. If they want to inhibit its growth, they cut it on a full moon. The same applies to weight. If you want to lose weight, utilize the energy of the moon and begin a diet on a full moon because the energy is waning.

As mentioned, some of it is lore and some of it is based on scientific fact. I'll be sure to remind everyone a day ahead next time when there will be a new moon.

Does an unexpected request to increase my rates count???

Why not? If you do good work, and I'm sure that you do, people will gladly pay your price.
