🌖 RETURN — Waning Moon IV (release, integration) | Luna Moth Collection

Luna Moth • Ritual Cycle

CHAPTER IV — RETURN (Waning Moon)

Release • Healing • Integration

In the hush after celebration, the Moon begins to bow. Her light thins; the grove exhales. The Luna folds her wings and returns to the barked cathedral to shed what is finished. This is not loss—it is compost. Old keepers say What we bless as we release becomes medicine.

What You Hold (Canon)
  • 100% beeswax pillar • ~9 oz • burn time ~30–35 hrs
  • Scent notes: Eucalyptus • Rosemary • Frankincense • Amyris
  • Botanicals: Yarrow Root (protect) • Sage (cleanse) • Nettle Leaf (fortify)
  • Crystals: Obsidian (shadow) • Fluorite (clarify) • Red Agate (stabilize)

Why These Allies Stand Guard

Yarrow Root protects as old warriors did; Sage clears residue + wandering thought; Nettle lends iron to the spirit. Obsidian pulls shadow forward for honest seeing; Fluorite sorts confusion into clarity; Red Agate grounds the body as release begins. Their notes + textures weave a clearing, temple-quiet atmosphere.

Energetic Purpose

  • Release what is complete
  • Cleanse emotional residue
  • Re-integrate self without burden
The Whispering Grove

Your QR leads to a rite of composting—naming the walls you shed, blessing them, and burying the last threads. Includes banishing breathwork, shadow-ink writing, and omen signs to watch for as you lighten.

Two Questions for the Path Down-Moon

  • What is no longer mine to carry—even if it once felt precious?
  • What might return to me if my hands were empty?

What This Supports

Letting go, emotional clarity, re-centering the body, healthier boundaries, calm re-entry into the self.

Moon Timing

Best: Waning Moon — Full Moon +1 to Dark. Bridge: leads into Chapter V — COCOON (Rest + Shadow-Dream).

✦ When It Is Time to Lay It Down

After the bright unveiling of the Full Moon, the world exhales. Petals loosen. Wings grow tired. The Waning Moon, elder teacher of thresholds, asks a single question:
“What is complete?”

In moth-lore, RETURN is the sacred compost — where worn identities are slipped off like old silk. What is shed becomes nourishment for what comes next. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is shame.

“To release is to remember your hands are still yours.”

Light this flame and whisper the name of something you are ready to set down — a habit, a story, a weight. Write it on paper and tuck it beneath the flame’s plate. The Waning Moon favors honesty offered quietly.

A deeper rite — cord cutting, grave-soil blessing, root fortification, and omens of release — waits in the hidden chamber.

Pillar Care + Safety
  • First burn 2–3 hrs to form a melt pool.
  • Trim wick to ~¼″ before each light.
  • Herbs & stones rest on top. If anything drifts toward flame: snuff, cool, nudge outward or remove.
  • Burn on heat-safe plate; away from drafts + pets.
  • Never leave unattended.
