Moon Work

Crown Astrology & Moon Work

The crown is a living sky, a constellation of spirals, each lock a star in orbit. Just as the moon pulls the tides and stirs the waters within us, it also whispers to the crown, guiding us through cycles of growth, release, and renewal.

Working with astrology and moon phases invites us to sync DreadCraft with celestial rhythms. Under the New Moon, we set intentions, weaving fresh energy into our locs through adornment, oils, or simple words of power. The Waxing Moon supports growth and strengthening rituals, perfect for nurturing the roots and feeding the scalp. The Full Moon is a time of illumination — cleansing, deep washing, and charging beads or tools in her light. As the Waning Moon draws energy inward, we release: trimming loose ends, detoxing, or cutting away what no longer serves.

Astrological transits deepen this work. Fire moons bring courage to begin; water moons call us to cleanse; earth moons root us in care; air moons invite us to braid intention into form. By attuning to these rhythms, dreadcraft becomes not just maintenance, but cosmic ceremony.

When we honor the crown in alignment with the heavens, our locs become more than hair — they become celestial threads, weaving us into the great tapestry of earth and sky.
