Affirmations Of The 13 Moons

Here's a wonderful series of affirmations that I have been using for some time now. You can do one affirmation, individually, at each full moon, in association with each corresponding tree moon. You can also do all 13 as part of your monthly full moon ritual cycle, or all 13 together in a single full moon ritual, or even at every full moon rite. You can take these affirmations one step further by using them as a guided meditation or visualization as well.
