As the moon grows to full, rituals for bringing about positive change are the order. Ceremonies for luck, growth, and love will succeed during the waxing moon. The moon is in full Maiden aspect for the fourteen days of the typical waxing period. Invocations for personal and positive change in your environment and the people around you will burgeon during this phase.
Invoking the Blessing of Nikadama
In China and Tibet, the mountain holds a special place in mythology and religions because they are so close to the sky. Tibetan Buddhists bring down the blessings of one of their most benevolent deities, Nikadama, the female protection deity who lives high in the Himalaya Mountains. To get her attention, tie strings of Tibetan prayer flags or white silk scarves to the trees and bushes near your home or in your yard. If you live in the city, you can hang them at your door
to fly in the breeze. Every time the flags and offering scarves flutter in the wind, Nikadama is blessing you! Here is a very simple ritual you can perform alone or with loved ones to bring luck and blessings during the waxing moon. Spring is the best time to do this, but any waxing moon will bring fortune and providence.
Tibetan Prayer Flag 101
The color symbology of a string of Tibetan prayer flags comes from hundreds of years of tradition. Monks always fly the blue flag highest and it should be at the top of the string of flags, as it symbolizes the closest you can get to higher consciousness. Other colors that represent aspects of nature are as follows:
Blue: Sky White: Cloud Red: Fire Green: Water Yellow: Earth
