Full Moon, Crane Moon: Peace, Independence, Longevity

Full Moon:  Peaceful Crane Moon

"This is our cry.  This is our prayer.  Peace in the world."

       "On this Libra Full Moon, work for peace and harmony.  Draw a rough outline of a crane in salt on a plate, pouring into the salt all your beliefs about finding inner peace or witnessing world peace.  Allow the salt's bitterness to soak up your fears and doubts.  Pour the salt into a bowl of water.  As you watch those beliefs and emotions dissolve, recite the Druid's Peace Prayer:

                       Deep within the still center of my being, may I find peace.
                      Silently within the quiet of the Grove, may I share peace.k
                      Gently and powerfully, within the greater circle of humankind,
                          may I radiate peace.
