Wow...I am impressed, this is really interesting and amazing and complete, and many other things I would like to say, but would get short in the end anyways : ) thank you for the invite.
Blessed be with love and light...
This is the month when the winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark. This full Moon is also called the Long Nights Moon by some Native American tribes.
During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule.
The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time.
The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.
Lady Moon, your light has just returned, For the cycle of your power. Maiden, mistress of new beginnings and youth, Your light shine down upon the earth. Upon night's darkest cloak, Let your mark be spread for all to see, Glowing ever stronger in the sky. Tonight let your powers of new beginnings, Wash away the follies of last cycle. Seep away my weariness and sorrows. Fill me to the brim with strength and hope, Replace faded dreams with new, And give me the endurance to carry on. Goddess in the sky, look down upon me, Your Witch, Sorceress and Priestess, In your presence, gathers here. As the moon moves through its cycles, May the blessing of the Maiden, Remain strong and surround us. In the name of the Threefold Goddess, So mote it be.
See me. I am your child. At this, the appointed hour, I stand before you and reach out with my whole heart to the full moon. Hear my words as they rise among the stars And at night, when my body lies resting, whisper to my spirit. Teach me secrets yet revealed... Fill me with wisdom... Enfold me in your power... Keeper of the mysteries of the moon, Hear these words and recall the ancient promise that All who seek your presence shall find your blessings. At this, the appointed hour, I stand before you and reach out with my whole heart to the full moon. I am your child. See me.

New Moon Incense equal parts of anise, camphor, wormwood & lavender (might want to use just a pinch of camphor, it's very strong)
DARK MOON INCENSE:1/4-1/2 cup base, 1 tspn calamus, 1/2 tspn each of eucalyptus,juniper and patchouli, 10-15 drops of Dark Moon oil. Make this three nights before the New Moon. Allow it to sit outside for each of those three nights, but do not allow sunlight to touch it.
FULL MOON INCENSE:1/4-1/2 cup base, 1 tspn each of willow bark and jasmine blossoms, 1/2 tspn each of white sandalwood and lemon peel. 10-15 drops of Full Moon oil. Make this on the night of the Full Moon, allow it to sit in the Full Moon light for a few hours to finish charging.
This can be used for scattering around candles, placing in poppets, adding to charm bags, etc
Exact amounts depend on how much you want to make
Grind together equal amounts of sandalwood, lemon peel and poppy. Add a pinch of bladderwrack, grind into a powder. To add more fragrance, you can add a few drops of any of the following essential oils : sandalwood, lemon or lily fragrance oil. Mix it all together and let it dry before using.
While preparing for bed, read this blessing aloud as part of your nightly prayers:
'When the nights are dark and stormy, And things become hard to see, Dear God and Goddess Help to keep the light within me glowing. So that no matter which way the wind’s blowing, I am on the Path I should be; I am one of the blessed, Who seek complete union with the Divine, I am one of the shining ones, Whose light continues to brighten the night. In the name of the Lord and Lady, Blessed Be!'
As you drift to sleep, imagine that you are the candle that the Goddess has lit. Imagine your light burning bright and shining like a star in the night sky. Every night, your light grows brighter and brighter and your life becomes filled with the joy of Divine Love.
This New Moon occurs on Tuesday, February 21st, 2012, at 5:35 PM EST. On Tuesday afternoon, a new cycle begins. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of "perfection", starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. This New Moon is especially creative and imaginative as it is aligned with Neptune, newly in Pisces, the sign that it rules. While we are likely to feel very inspired, and this New Moon can motivate us to take a leap of faith, we should check into reality from time to time. The New Moon's trine to Saturn helps ground us and a sense that we can turn our dreams into reality.
Silver rays flowing, Full Moon's power growing, Coming, going, coming, going, flowing down on me... Coming, going, coming, going, flowing into me! So Mote It Be.
April's full Moon heralded the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox (one of the first spring flowers). It is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon. Historically, Native Americans living in what is now the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each full Moon. This name was used to refer to the entire month in which the Moon occurred. With some variations, the same Moon names were used throughout the Algonquian tribes from New England to Lake Superior.
It is also called the Pink Moon because of the wild ground phlox, one of the earliest widespread pink flowers of the spring, usually in bloom right now.

According to folklore, if hair is cut during the Moon's waxing phase (between new and full), growth is encouraged. The opposite will occur if hair is cut during the waning phase (the day after the Moon is full to the day before it's new).
Mistress of the night time sky Shine down on me from above
Bathe me in your cool silvery, beauty
And shower me with your love
Watch over me while I am sleeping
Keeping me safe and free from all woe
Bless all that dwell within my home
May your loving kindness they know
And when you're the Queen of Darkness Your face you do not show
I know you will still watch over me
No matter where I go
For I'm your child Mother Goddess
And I am truly blessed
I thank you for watching over me
As I lay me down to rest.

Magickal Moon with a light so bright
Watch over us all and protect us through the night
When you're large and full of grace
Even when we can barely see your face
We know you are always there
Your magick fills the air
Waning and waxing as the nights come and go
Feeling that mystic tug and tow
Abundance and blessings you give without take
Please accept these prayers we now make
Our words we send to thee with love
We cast them to you and the heavens above
Magickal Moon in the night
Thank you for the dreams, the visions, the second sight
A blessing at the end of each day
You light the darkness in a loving and magickal way
Carrying with you the secrets from ancient times gone by
Your presence is felt beneath the starry night sky
Magickal Moon thank you for your love, thank you for your light
Thank you for watching over us every single night.

Moon Prayer
Lady Moon, your light has just returned,
For the cycle of your power.
Maiden, mistress of new beginnings and youth,
Your light shine down upon the earth.
Upon night's darkest cloak,
Let your mark be spread for all to see,
Glowing ever stronger in the sky.
Tonight let your powers of new beginnings,
Wash away the follies of last cycle.
Seep away my weariness and sorrows.
Fill me to the brim with strength and hope,
Replace faded dreams with new,
And give me the endurance to carry on.
Goddess in the sky, look down upon me,
Your Witch, Sorceress and Priestess,
In your presence, gathers here.
As the moon moves through its cycles,
May the blessing of the Maiden,
Remain strong and surround us.
In the name of the Threefold Goddess,
So mote it be.
