One powerful way to work with the energy of the full moon is to use it to cleanse your crystals. Crystals are powerful tools for spiritual and energetic work, but they can also absorb negative energy over time. To cleanse your crystals, start by placing them outside under the light of the full moon. You can do this the night before the full moon, on the night of the full moon, or the night after the full moon – whichever feels most appropriate to you. Make sure your crystals are in a safe, secure place where they won’t be disturbed or damaged. As you place your crystals outside, set the intention that they will be cleansed of any negative or stagnant energy. You can also use this time to charge your crystals with positive energy and intentions.

The full moon is a fascinating and powerful force in our lives, and learning about its different phases and meanings can deepen our understanding of the world around us. Whether you’re an avid crystal collector or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the night sky, taking the time to connect with the moon and its energy can be a truly transformative experience. So the next time the full moon rises, why not take a moment to step outside, gaze up at the sky, and see what kind of magic it holds for you?
