🌕 Super Moon of December 4, 2025 – The Cold Moon
✨ A Super Moon of Release, Truth, and Passage
On December 4, 2025, the last Super Moon of the year rises in the icy stillness of winter. Its bright, almost metallic glow contrasts sharply with the gentle radiance of ordinary full moons: it reveals, purifies, and severs the invisible ties that hold us to a past grown too heavy.
It is called the Cold Moon, reflecting the time when nature sheds all that is non-essential, keeping only what is needed for survival.
In pagan traditions, it also bears the powerful name Moon of Mourning — mourning for old versions of ourselves, illusions, wounds, and cycles that have reached their end.
This is not a sad moon. It is a courageous moon courageuse, a moon of “just endings,” a moon of deep liberation..
Amplified by its proximity to the Earth, this Super Moon acts as an inner spotlight. It illuminates the shadowed corners we have long avoided, opening a rare, almost harsh clarity — yet one that is profoundly healing.
🌬️ The Spiritual Energies of This Super Moon

Its cold light acts like a winter wind:
sweeping away the superfluous, clearing the mind, and cleansing the emotional burdens accumulated throughout the year.
🔥 2. Detachment and Closing of Cycles
The Moon of Mourning teaches us to say “enough.”
Enough of the fears that hold us back.

🔥 Powerful Ritual: The Fire of Release
A simple, traditional, and deeply transformative ritual.
Materials:
🕯️ A white or silver candle
📜 A sheet of paper
🖋️ A black pen
🥣 A fireproof bowl (if burning isn’t possible: tearing is sufficient)
Steps:
➡️ Dim the lights and let the candle’s glow fill the space.
➡️ Write down: habits, emotions, thoughts, relationships, attachments, heavy memories.
➡️ Take a deep breath and say: “Under the Cold Moon, I release all that no longer belongs to me.”
➡️ Burn the paper (or tear it slowly if fire is not possible).
➡️ Place your hand over your heart: “I shed what weighs me down to be reborn. I make space for my light.”
➡️ Finish with a glass of water or a warm infusion — a symbol of returning to gentleness.
