We're staring into the abyss of the blank page. Oof...

We've drawn the moon phases and neatly entered a full moon ritual in our books.

Done.

Check.

Now what??

1) Forage a local plant with lunar associations and use it to create prints, make marks or press into your book.

2) Create a moonscape texture by stamping with tinfoil, recycled plastic wrap or a sponge. Use ink pads, watercolor or acrylic paints with alternative stamping techniques to create lunar inspired visual textures in your grimoire.

3) Craft a recipe for your own dream tea. What's in it? How do you prepare it? What words might you say before drinking it?

4) We've heard of the Strawberry Moon and the Wolf Moon, but what about your moon? Enhance your relationship with the seasons by creating your own names for the 13 full moons . How do they reflect what's going on in *your* environment? Explore ethnoastronomy to deepen your understanding of the land you live with.

5) Mirror magick is associated with the moon and the water element. Incorporate mirror tiles or other re purposed reflective materials for divination related work or lunar offerings.

6) Create a gallery of creatures with lunar associations--both mythological and those who live in your area. Do you have a special connection to any of these creatures?

7) Document your gardening efforts. Whether you tend a sprawling yard or a pot on a window sill. What did you plant? Why did you choose it? (Almanacs are treasure troves of grimoire inspiration!) Or create a spread depicting a lunar garden you visit in meditation.

8) Record or illustrate cyclic self care and community care ideas. For example: Perhaps you have a potluck dinner with neighbors when the moon is full, spend nourishing time alone during the waning moon or dive into art magick projects during the waxing moon. How could you synch up your daily doings with the moon for more flowing magick?

9) Experiment with a resist technique by drawing on a light colored page with masking fluid, glue or rubber cement, then painting over the dry adhesive with a darker color. When the paint has dried, remove the masking with a soft eraser to reveal lighter colors. This achieves a beautiful watery or nighttime effect, perfect for glowing seas, galaxies and moon beams.

10) Do you have a favorite plant that corresponds with the moon? Work with it in ritual, visit it in nature or drink it as a tea (if it is safe) and create a spirit portrait of the plant diva.

11) Illustrate your favorite homemade moon-charged house keeping potions (floor washes, room sprays,) to reference during waning moon cleaning of waxing moon blessing.

12) Dive deep and create a spread exploring your moon sign. Unsure of what it is? Find out here. Investigating your moon sign can deepen your sense of identity and give you great ideas for meaningful self care.

13) Make a moon cake to share with friends, celebrate a specific lunation, enjoy during a personal ritual or give as an offering. Record the ingredients, draw an image or photo document your yummy moon magick!
