The Snow Moon is also known as the Hunger Moon, traditionally appearing during times of heavy snowfall when winter supplies are running low and spring has yet to fully arrive.
Snowdrops come to us in our grief as we let go of the winter, of yesteryear, and what was for what is and what might be. They hold us in our grief at the world as we witness the unbearable betrayal of humanity unfolding.
Snowdrops allow for shifting emotional and psycho-spiritual trauma trapped and contracted in the physical body to be witnessed and released. This is mirrored in their nature as this process requires a gentle strength, to push through the damp, dark, hardened soil of our unconscious, to break the surface.
The white drops have a lunar signature relating to memory, dreaming, and the subconscious (snowdrops contain the alkaloid galantamine used in the treatment of Alzheimer's and to enhance lucid dreaming).* As the moon looks on the earth, they too bow their heads back to the ground, in reverence and contemplation, shining their luminescence into the shadows of our memories, as we shift our perspective and see things as they are.As we transmute and transcend the old ways, they hold space for our inner waters to flow and to weep, heated by our inner fires to evaporate into visions of spring, so that we might begin anew.
* Although snowdrops have a folk history of use for migraines and headaches, they should not be ingested due to toxic alkaloids. Instead, receive their medicine through meditation or flower essences. It is also illegal in the UK to pick wild snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis).
