The new moon carries deep significance in many healing traditions and medicine stories across cultures. These stories often frame the new moon as a time of renewal, initiation, and healing potential.
In traditional medicine stories, the new moon represents the beginning of a cycle - a time when energy is gathering but hasn't yet manifested outwardly. This mirrors many healing processes, where recovery often begins in the unseen realms before physical changes appear.
Several key themes appear in new moon medicine stories:
The new moon represents the void - a place of creative potential where intentions can be planted like seeds. Many healing rituals begin during this phase because it's seen as a time when our energy and the cosmos are most receptive to new directions.
Indigenous traditions often view the new moon as a time when the veil between worlds is thinner, making it easier to connect with ancestral wisdom and healing guidance. Medicine people might conduct ceremonies during this time to receive insights about healing practices.
The darkness of the new moon is also significant in medicine stories - representing a time to rest, reflect, and turn inward. This mirrors the healing wisdom that recovery requires periods of withdrawal and restoration.
In several traditions, the new moon is associated with feminine energy and the womb - a place of gestation and protection where healing can begin safely before emerging into the light.
Medicine stories about the new moon often teach us that healing isn't always visible at first - like the new moon itself, the initial stages of transformation happen in darkness and silence before manifesting visibly.
“Where gravity is present” he described…
My brother has entered into a deep healing cycle with pancreatic cancer today. He has gone for treatment in a way he trusts will help shepherd him though what ails him.
A few days ago he shared a vision he was seeing over and over. He requested my help to manifest this vision for his healing journey.
This is the strength we all wanted to hear in him.
We exchanged a few iterations of an evolving animation based on his visions then on the second day he sent a recording telling me of the words that were now coming through, his mantra:
“I can feel you flaking off and falling away.”
Upon hearing his voice all of our family entered my head lovingly insisting they want to be with him every step of the way. So the request was sent for everyone to record:
“We can feel it flaking off and falling away.”
Such is the story of medicine stories I can honestly say. Knowing we could each chant with David. Sitting editing all of our voices layered to respond to David’s call for health. Overwhelmed at times with the pure sense of love. Healing in so many ways.
Upon sharing this with Dave yesterday on his birthday, his response was immediately…
“Perfect! Thank you, I will live by this.”
This morning, as the new moon cycles in, it was the first thing I watched and chanted along. I also heard from David as he prepared to go to the clinic how he and MJ watched it over and over this morning.
It is his wishes, as part of his medicine, I share this out for any who are called to sit with him and his healing mantra.
Thank you for being the medicine.
