The Magick of this Moon

The Full Moon which is also a Blood Moon this month is happening this September full moon between the 7-8th (the total eclipse will happen around 3.30am EST in the Southern Hemisphere on the 8th – it starts around 2.28am and ends by 5.56am).  For specific times around the world please go here for further details: Date and Time Total Lunar Eclipse

A Blood Moon is a Full moon which is a Solar Lunar Eclipse.  The earth is between the sun and the moon which causes the moon to have a reddish tinge due to the red light which skims over the earth.

The Lunar Eclipse energies transition through the new and full moon phases during the eclipse, which enables the moon to cycle through the various stages of the moon and its magick.

Eclipse magick is when the energy is amplified due to the moon energies intermingling.

There are various types of magick you can perform during this coming moon:

Liminal – magick worked between the darkness and the light.Manifestation – setting goals, intentions and affirmations.Breaking – curses, bad habits, bad relationships and connections.Transformation – self/surroundings, spellwork and health encompassing all aspects of oneself (body/mind/spirit and emotion).Devotion – to lunar or liminal Gods and Goddess.Focus – personal and spiritual development along with illumination and psychic work (divination and magickal goals).

This is a good time to clear the energies which no longer aid you in preparation for the next phase in your life.

Now is the time to work on breaking the bonds which drag you down and transform it into manifesting that which raises you up.

Since the full moon is in Pisces it will be an intense time full of transformative evolution, therefore I suggest working on the self and opening yourself to insight and truth. Below I have outlined an easy rite you can perform in any tradition you resonate to, with the guidance of Hekate:

Hekate Eclipse Magick by Setjataset

Preparation:

Chose a liminal time and place for the ritual to be set, preferably outside if you can manage it under the full moon or alternatively where the moon beams can shine upon your workings.

Purify body by showering or washing head, hands and feet.

Your shrine and offering items should be placed on a shrine or working altar and should include: black candle, red candle (or white/neutral coloured candles if you don’t have red/black), purified water/khernips mixed with salt, a token or offering you have for Hekate, incense and an image of Hekate.

Welcoming and Opening

Open sacred space or the shrine/altar and welcome Hekate by simply calling to her or reciting a hymn, poem, evocation in her name.

Light your incense and waft over sacred space.

Sprinkle purified salted water over sacred space.

Magical Working

Write (with a sharpie) or carve (with a blade, wand, knife, pin, fingernail) on a black candle what you want to get rid of.

If you don’t have a black candle use a white or neutral colour and write on the candle a word representing what you want to get rid of ie procrastination.  Think about it carefully and don’t be rash in what it is you are wanting to get rid of and make sure its what you really want.

Write (with a sharpie) or carve (with a blade, wand, knife, pin, fingernail) on a red candle what you want to bring in.

If you don’t have a red candle use a white or neutral colour and write on the candle a word representing what you want to bring in ie self-love.  Think about it carefully and don’t be rash in what it is you are wanting to bring in and make sure its what you really want.

If so desired, anoint candles.  Use an oil such as Abramelin oil or something simple such as olive or lavender oil.  If you have no oil, use your own saliva.

Light both candles.

Push the black candle away from you and the red candle towards you and then say:

“Hekate Queen of Earth, Sky and Sea

Assist me to straddle this liminal time

Guide me through the Darkness and into the Light

With the power of the Moon I release my intentions”  © T. Georgitsis 2020

Let the candles burn down completely in a safe manner.

Thanks and Closing

Thank Hekate and close sacred space or the shrine/altar.

Ritual is now complete and any feasting and/or grounding work can take place.

Do not speak about your working until it has manifested and even then be cautious with how you share it.
