13 small flags sewn on a string. Each flag is 7 inches wide. Connections between the moon phases and the rhythm of nature (the tides) and humans (menstruation) are obvious. The Maiden, Mother and Crone aspects of the Goddess are associated with the moon phases.

The appearance of the crescent or the full moon is sometimes celebrated by a rest from work, or a time to begin new projects and plant seeds. The full moon is seen as being the time of greatest power and good luck, a time for rituals and celebrations. The waning moon is a time for finishing projects in preparation for the resting of the dark moon.

The three dark days of the "death" of the moon are feared by some, as death is often feared as the mystery of transformation. During this period the moon is sometimes believed to be killed by other heavenly beings and later revived, or in hiding. It is time to rest and introspect.

The 13 flags on this string represent the 13 moon cycles within the calendar year, the original "months". 13 was always a number sacred to the Goddess, which is why it was thought unlucky by patriarchal traditions. Each flag features the name of a moon goddess.
