Also known to us Northern Tribal Warriors as, “The Full Crust Moon” now radiant in Father Sky – is a not only a surging of spring energy, it also marks the beginning of at least one month of fantastic ‘crust skiing’ whereupon we nordic skaters can glide endlessly at mach speeds across a frozen canvas of withering snows…each undulation of Mother Earth’s hide creates BMX type of rolls and jumps! What SACRED FUN! Ilg so pities the sport-specific athletes who remain numb to the ever dancing glow of wholistic sport endeavor! Since yogis are a Solar-Lunar Tribe, here is more on March’s Full Moon:
Full Worm Moon – March As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.
coach’s note: all WF Blessed Mala wearers are welcome to send me their Mala’s for Re-Empowerments during any Full Moon cycle…
Great fun, using consolidated snow this way. (Miss it.)
Dang those are skinny skis!
Must be incredibly fast as well as challenging at times.
Blessings,
