On November 15th, the Full Beaver SuperMoon graces the night sky, marking the last full moon before the Winter Solstice. This supermoon carries the energies of preparation, transformation, and embracing the cycles of life. Traditionally, the Beaver Moon signified a time for early settlers and Native Americans to prepare for the long winter ahead, symbolizing diligence, resourcefulness, and the building of safe havens.
As a supermoon, the encouragement to release the old, solidify our intentions, and focus on building a life aligned with our soul’s purpose is amplified. Let’s explore how to honor this sacred moment to support your journey.

1. Hecate: The Goddess of Transformation and Crossroads
Hecate, the ancient Greek goddess of the moon, magic, and the crossroads, is a powerful figure to study during this time of transition. Known as the keeper of keys, she guides us in choosing paths that align with our deepest truth. Hecate’s connection to the cycles of life, death, and rebirth makes her an ideal goddess to invoke as you release the old and prepare for a new chapter.
Focus for the Moon Cycle: Explore where you’re at a crossroads in your life and seek guidance to move forward with clarity.
Suggested Practices: Research the "Night of Hecate" happening on 11/16 to learn more about her.
2. Demeter: The Goddess of the Harvest and Cycles of Life
Demeter, another figure from Greek mythology, is the goddess of the harvest, nurturing, and the natural cycles of life. Her myth teaches us about the importance of preparation, surrender, and the inevitability of seasonal change. She reminds us to embrace the quiet, regenerative power of winter as we prepare to plant seeds of intention.
Focus for the Moon Cycle: Reflect on what you’ve harvested this year and how you’ll nurture yourself during the upcoming season of rest.
Suggested Practices: Place offerings of seasonal fruits or grains in the sacred space where you pray, symbolizing gratitude for abundance and cycles of renewal.
3. Deborah: The Prophetess and Judge of Ancient Israel
Deborah, a prophetess and leader from the Hebrew Bible, embodies wisdom, strength, and clear vision. Known for her ability to guide her people with foresight and conviction, Deborah is an inspiring figure to study as you focus on building stability and alignment in your life. Her story encourages trust in divine guidance and unwavering faith in your purpose.
Focus for the Moon Cycle: Seek clarity and courage in your personal leadership and decision-making.
Suggested Practices: Read Deborah’s story (Judges 4–5) and journal how her wisdom applies to your life. Consider pulling oracle cards to connect with your inner prophetess.
