Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your fur-lined guide through moonlight and instinct.
Tonight, we turn our hearts to the Beaver Moon, the full moon of November. Named for the time when beavers prepare their lodges for winter, this moon is all about getting cozy, staying safe, and trusting the wisdom of preparation. It’s a time of burrows, blankets, and quiet intentions.
Find your nesting place—pillows, quilts, a warm feline companion—and prepare to sink into this moon of protection and peace.
Let us begin.
Step 1: Nestle into the Lodge
Sit or lie down in a space that feels enclosed and safe.
If you can see the moon, picture it above a quiet pond, reflecting off a beaver’s dam.
If not, imagine its light finding you through a window, soft and steady like a well-placed paw.
Breathe in the cool air of approaching winter.
Breathe out the tension of unfinished plans.
Breathe in calm intention.
Breathe out hurry.
Cats—and beavers—know the value of shelter.
Let your space become one now.
Step 2: The Protective Stretch
Raise your arms as if building something soft and warm around yourself.
Flex your fingers like you’re tucking straw into place—or patting down a blanket.
Inhale deeply, filling your chest like a burrow ready to hold rest.
Exhale gently, like a breath warming the nest.
Feel yourself settling.
Safe. Still. Prepared.
Step 3: Let the Moon Seal Your Shelter
Picture the Beaver Moon overhead, glowing like a watchful eye above your den.
Its light settles into your spine, sealing up cracks, warming the corners.
Breathe in security.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in stillness.
Breathe out noise.
There is nothing you must do tonight.
Only be.
Step 4: The Den Purr
If your cat is purring beside you, let that sound wrap around you like fleece.
If not, imagine the slow hum of a creature deeply content in its winter den.
Now breathe with that rhythm:
Inhale slowly…
Exhale softly…
Inhale…
Exhale…
Every breath adds another layer of calm.
Step 5: Trust Your Instincts
The Beaver Moon reminds us: preparation is not panic.
It’s love for your future self.
Feel your breath steady.
Feel your body soften.
Feel your paws (or feet) resting in a space you’ve made your own.
Cats don’t explain their choices.
We know when it’s time to curl in—and we do.
Step 6: Return with Moss in Your Fur
When you’re ready, wiggle your fingers like you’re burrowing deeper into softness.
Stretch like a cat who built this nap with her own two paws.
Blink back into the world slowly—calm, protected, and whole.
If your cat is grooming you, accept it with grace.
If your cat has taken over your blanket, you may ask to share—but only once.
Carry the quiet wisdom of the Beaver Moon with you.
And remember: You know what you need. Trust it.
Purrs and protected peace,
Tyson 🐾
