What to do when you're under quarantine but it's a full moon?
Howl, of course.
Tonight is the April 2020 full moon, also known as the Pink Moon. While that might lead you to believe the moon will be rose-tinted, the name actually comes from a pink flower that blooms in North America called phlox subulata or moss pink. The April 2020 full moon also happens to be a supermoon, meaning the moon appears larger in the sky because it is closer to Earth during its orbit.
Over the past few years, I've developed a ritual for full and new moons that is completely my own. I like to use these nights as a time to reflect on what is currently happening in my life or to take a deep breath and let things go. I usually take a hot bath while listening to music. I also like to pull a tarot card as a bit of guidance for the next two weeks. It's the perfect way for me to slow down and just...exist.
Since music is key, I like finding or making playlists for the occasion. To celebrate tonight's full moon, my spooky BFF Matt and I put together a pretty killer playlist, if I do say so. It's FULL of moon, werewolf and witchy songs we both love...and is perfect for, well, howling at the moon!
Howling at the Moon - A Full Moon Playlist
If Spotify is not your preferred method for streaming music, here is the complete playlist so you can create it yourself:
What's your favorite song for the full moon?
Share it in the comments, and I just might add it to the playlist!
P.S. If you dig this playlist, you might also enjoy my favorite songs with witchy vibes.
