This month, the Snow Moon will decorate the sky with its enchanting light, bathing us in a powerful energy that we can harness with a magick spell.
February’s Full Moon is called a Snow Moon because historically the heaviest snowfall usually occurs in this month (in the northern hemisphere). But not only is this a beautiful astronomical phenomenon, it is also a great opportunity to create a favorable environment in our spiritual lives.
Why This Spell Works
Snow can be used to cleanse and purify your crystals and tools. It is associated with clarity and the possibility for a fresh start. If it does not snow where you live, gather raindrops in a glass container.
February is the season of Imbolc or Brigid’s Day, and Februa (or Lupercalia), a pastoral festival of Ancient Rome observed annually to purify the city, promoting health and fertility.
Cast this cleansing spell on or near the Snow Moon, which is February’s Full Moon π

Spiritual Meaning of the Snow Moon βοΈ
Traditionally, the Snow Moon signifies winter and the end of the growing season. Because of its relationship to the end of growth in the natural world, snow is often linked to death and hardship.
Melted snow can be used to symbolize a new beginning or the end of difficulties. As snow covers everything and turns a familiar landscape into something new, it can be associated with transformation. For example, snow is often used to represent a life-changing situation.
