The Full Moon this month is called the Chaste Moon. What would you do if you could have a clean slate? Artemis/Diana, the Moon goddess of chastity, independence, and feminine strength, is the solitary huntress who teaches us to fend for ourselves. The trees sacred to her are hazel, hawthorn, myrtle, and willow. Call to the east, as this direction signifies dawn and new beginnings. Search for a tree sacred to Artemis and cut a wand for yourself. Ask permission of the tree, and do not cut any more than the small branch you need. Leave an offering behind worthy of the sacrifice: a coin, a crystal, nuts, incense resin. Craft your wand with magical intention, imbuing it with the qualities of the goddess by meditating on her. If you keep the bark on your wand, attach a crystal, ribbon, leather, or other decoration; if you strip the bark off, polish it with oil. Each time you use your new wand, imagine Artemis imparting her blessings of courage and capability to you.
