In Gypsy magic, working with the Moon is of great importance, and many spells and rituals are based on appeals to the Moon-Gaena, using lunar energy flows for their processes. For the new lunar month, I present to you my Lunar Story.

My conversation with the Moon will allow you to hear ancient stories from Gypsy shuwanis and introduce you to the trends of the upcoming lunar month. Listen carefully, feel deeply… the Moon is speaking to you.

November nights are cold and piercing. Perhaps they wouldn’t feel quite so harsh if not for the long winter months ahead. Shuwany shivered at the thought, peering into the dark sky, waiting for the Moon to appear.

“Is there some remedy, some clever way to get through this season without losing joy — or, let’s be honest, our health — in such bitter cold?” she asked right after greeting the Moon, voicing the question that had been tormenting her.

“But of course!” the Moon agreed. “Listen…”

🌘 Once upon a time, there lived a man who had everything he needed and was satisfied with his life. But misfortune struck, and he fell ill. His weakness was so great he couldn’t even stand. Many doctors and healers visited him, many medicines and treatments were tried, but nothing helped him rise to his feet.

Time passed.

The man grew weaker and spent his days lying in bed, lamenting his sad fate. He no longer invited friends into his home, and when they came to visit, he refused to let them in. He didn’t want to speak to his loved ones either. He felt wronged by the whole world, cursing the bitter injustice that everyone else was healthy while he was sick and miserable.

One day, the man happened to be home alone — the household had gone about their business — and a traveler approached the house. He knocked and asked for shelter:

“I’ve come from afar,” he said. “I’m tired, my legs barely hold me. Please, kind people, let me stay the night.”

The sick man would have gladly offered hospitality — but how could he stand up and open the door?

“I can’t,” he replied. “I’m ill. I can’t walk to the door. Wait until my family returns — they’ll let you in.”

“What is your illness?” asked the traveler.

“For many years I’ve suffered weakness,” the man answered, “and I don’t even remember the last time I walked on my own two feet.”

“Then my arrival is just in time!” the traveler replied through the door. “I have a miraculous remedy for your ailment, a potion no doctor can offer! But I cannot wait — I’m exhausted. Open the door and I’ll give you the cure. If not, I’ll move on and seek shelter elsewhere!”

The sick man begged him to wait, but it was useless — the traveler insisted: open the door, or he would leave. The man had no choice. He thought: What if the remedy truly works? What if this is my last chance to recover? He summoned all his strength and willpower and rose from bed. Barely standing on his feet, struggling with every step, clinging to the walls, he finally reached the door, opened it, and let the traveler in.

The traveler entered, took a flask from his backpack, and handed it to the man. The man drank eagerly.

“Will your medicine really help?” he asked with hope. “Will I truly stand on my feet again?”

“But you’re already standing — look!” the traveler replied. “The flask contains simple spring water. The miraculous cure is hidden within you!”

The man looked down and indeed saw that he was standing — something he hadn’t been able to do for a long time. He rejoiced! He didn’t recover instantly, but from that day forward he believed in himself, grew stronger, and with time fully healed. 🌘

“And all because,” noted the Moon, “the greatest remedy — both for surviving dark times and for healing — is the will to live! Faith in yourself and a mindset oriented toward the brighter side. Without these, no magical cure can help. But with them, even simple water becomes a healing elixir!”
