Koia (Winter Moon, the Hag Moon):Symbolising Protection, endurance, secrets, wisdom."]As Koia is always dark she does not have traditional phases, however her Rest and Dominant times are noted by sages as she generates psychic whispers that affect dreams and rise and fall with this cycle. [/spoiler][spoiler="4.

After 8 years the cycle is restored.</li> </ul></li> </ul>[/spoiler]</blockquote>
