The Moon has long been a symbol of intuition, reflection, cycles, and transformation. Its changing phases remind us that growth is not always linear and that periods of rest, reflection, and renewal are just as important as periods of action.

Many people are drawn to moon carvings because they symbolise inner wisdom, emotional awareness, and trust in life's natural rhythms. The crescent moon is often associated with new beginnings, possibility, and embracing the next chapter of one's journey.

The Moon also represents mystery, imagination, and the beauty of continual change.
