Happy♥️Full🍓Strawberry 🌝 Moon! 🍄
Throughout history, our ancestors recognized the capacity for the full moon to draw up tides, bring on growth spurts in plants, and alter fluids in the brain and body that make some people 'lunatic', and others go into childbirth. The Strawberry Moon in June is know for bringing on the late spring harvest of strawberries, and a season of good old fashioned strawberry festivals and summer picnics. Among gardeners and farmers, each full moon was seen as a time to harvest seasonal herbs, seeds and produce that would be laden with juice, sap and essential oils that could make them more potent when preserved for later use. The full moon offers a perfect time to hang and dry overgrown herbs and botanicals to make full moon herbal teas that you can use throughout the seasons. As for me, I am gathering and drying abundant tea and culinary herbs including: mint, lemon balm, lavender, roses, rosebuds, thyme, sage, lovage, calendula. What will you be gathering?

🍄✨🧚🧙🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🐸👑🔥 Don't forget to get out and celebrate under the light of the full moon on this first full summer night!
