Full Moon October 8, 2014 Rituals & Spells

Full Moon Hunter Moon October 18, 2013The full moon on October 8, 2014 is called Hunter’s Moon, Falling Leaf Moon or Blood Moon.  This full fire moon in Aries exudes positive energy and enhances your enthusiasm. It’s an ideal time for Wiccan spells and rituals to enhance boldness, daring deeds and audacity.

This full moon might also be a super moon, depending on whose definition you read. However, there will certainly be a lunar eclipse. Since the full moon and eclipse take place in the early morning hours of October 8, (6:50 AM EDT), you should do your spell work on the evening of the 7th and leave your tools and talismans out to charge overnight.

October Correspondences

Flowers: Calendula and Marigold

Stones:  Morganite or pink Emerald, Opals and Tourmaline.

Advance Preparation

Before the night of the full moon, find a photograph that shows you at your most joyous and enthusiastic.  Were you zip-lining through the jungle? Creating the perfect dish at a cooking class? Getting married or receiving an award?  It doesn’t matter whether the photo was taken ten days or ten years ago, what counts is your passionate expression.

Place this picture in a small frame. You can paint the frame orange or glue the photo to an orange background.

QUICK SPELL

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed. You will need the following items: one orange candle, angelica oil and incense, a pen with blue ink, a self-portrait in an orange frame.

Use the oil to anoint the candle and your forehead. Light the candle and the incense and sit silently for a few moments, holding your photograph. Close your eyes and ask the Goddess or the Universe to guide your meditation. When you feel the time is right, say the following affirmation:

Full moon wish, joy and bliss.  May I always feel like this. So mote it be!

Hold the picture in your hands and recall the exact moment when your heart was filled with so much joy and enthusiasm. Chances are, you had to expend some effort to get to that state, but the end result was well worth it.  Hold the blissful feelings in your mind and make notes about the experience in your Book of Shadows. Write the affirmation down and dab the corners of the page with angelica oil.

When you are ready, give thanks for your blessings and extinguish the candle.

Menu

Cucumber salad with rice vinegar dressing and toasted sesame seeds.

Ginger Chicken Stew

Carrot Cake with Chocolate Glaze

Autumn Equinox Spells & Rituals September 22, 2014

The Autumn Equinox, or first day of fall, occurs on September 22, 2014. Also known as Mabon on the Wiccan Wheel of the Year, the Autumn Equinox is traditionally a time for spells and rituals pertaining to organization, future plans, self-discipline, balance and rest after labour. The hours of light and darkness are equal, just as they are at the Spring Equinox.

Not so long ago, fall was a period of hard work, harvesting the fields and preparing for the long winter ahead. Today, Wiccans use this festival to examine their year so far, and to adjust their plans for the future.

Autumn Equinox Correspondences

Colours: Orange, Brown, Yellow, Gold

Oil: Bergamot, Storax, Rosemary

Philtre: Motherwort, Blessed Thistle, Benzoin, Rosehips, Sage, Lavender

Candles: Yellow, Orange, Brown

Flowers: Hollyhock, Aster, Milkweed, Marigold, Bittersweet

Incense: Sage

Stones: Peridot, Citrine, Beryl, Chrysolite

A Preview of Your Future

If you need a ritual for Mabon, My Wheel of the Year guide has a meditation that will offer insight into your future. A portion appears below:

As you walk to the edge of the field, you notice one green stalk still unharvested, with a fresh ear of corn still attached.  You snap off the corn and anxiously pull down the husk. Instead of yellow kernels, the cob is studded with jewels and precious metals.

Remember what you see and write it down. You will check below later for the meaning of the jewelled cob! You put the “corn” in your pouch, give thanks and head home for a harvest feast with friends and loved ones.

Meanings for the following stones and metals are provided: Amber, Amethyst, Bloodstone, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet, Gold, Jade, Opal, Lapis lazuli, Pearl, Peridot, Ruby, Silver, Sapphire, Topaz, Turquoise.

Blessed be and Happy Autumn Equinox!

Wiccan Spells for September 8, 2014 Super Full Moon

On September 8, 2014, at 9:38 EDT, the third of three consecutive super full moons will appear. This full water moon is in the sign of Pisces, opposite to the sun sign Virgo. It’s known as Harvest Moon, Wine Moon or Singing Moon.

Wiccan rituals use this Piscean full moon to tap into clairvoyant powers, tell fortunes and interpret dreams.  Psychic powers are heightened now, as is the ability to communicate with the spirit world.

Supermoon

A supermoon is a full moon that appears within 24 hours of perigee, (when the moon is closest to the earth in its orbit). Since this orbit is elliptical, rather than circular, the moons distance to the earth varies. You might find that the energy is greater than usual, so use it to your advantage.

September Flowers: Aster and morning glory

September Stones: Blue sapphire and citrine

Spell to Increase Your Psychic Powers

A full moon in Pisces is the perfect time to tap into your clairvoyant powers, tell fortunes and interpret dreams.  Psychic powers are heightened now, as is your ability to communicate with the spirit world.  My book Simple Wiccan Magick Spells and Ritual Ceremony has a Samhain ritual for communing with those who have passed to the other side, so my Full Moon Spells & Rituals guide has a spell which uses Runes to help develop your inner sight.

Harvest Full Moon Menu

Mussels with Green Herbs

Oven-baked French Fries

Lemon Wafers

This full moon is also an ideal time to cleanse and charge your Witches’ tools in preparation for the Fall Equinox on September 23, 2014. All of my e-books on witchcraft are also available at Barnes & Noble and iTunes.

My Full Moon Spells and Rituals eBook has a simple spell using a pendulum, or you can follow your own ritual to ask the same question. You should use a purple candle and frankincense oil and incense. Tapping into your subconscious and thus, the power of the universe, will help set your course with confidence. And don’t worry about this full moon falling on Friday 13.

What is the Wiccan Wheel of the Year?

Wheel of the YearOne of the most popular questions from beginner or novice Witches concerns the Wheel of the Year. Since ancient times, our ancestors celebrated the annual solar cycle of the four seasons and their midpoints.

These eight festivals are rich with symbolic meanings and many were appropriated by Christians as a way to expedite the conversion of pagan people. For example, the spring equinox celebration of Oestre or Ostara is now Easter; Samhain, on October 31st, is now Halloween, which evolved from the Christian All Hallow’s Eve on the same date.

Different candles, oils, philtres, flowers and stones, as well as food and drink, correspond or best relate to each festival on the Wheel of the Year. By using these time-proven correspondences we are able to generate the most powerful and effective magick.

THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR

Samhain – October 31

Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the Witches’ New Year. Here, we remember our past, including departed loved ones and friends. We also plan for the future with new hopes, dreams and ambitions.

Yule/Winter Solstice – December 21

Yule or Winter Solstice brings the longest night of the year. From now until the Summer Solstice (June 21) daylight hours will increase. The Oak King, who brings with him the return of longer days, now vanquishes the ancient Holly King, who represents the longer nights. It’s a good time to tap into your personal alchemy.

Imbolc/Candlemas – February 1

Imbolc or Candlemas is the feast of the waxing light as we now become more aware of the lengthening of the days. It’s a traditional time for Wiccan initiation.

Spring Equinox/Ostara – March 21

The festival of Ostara or Spring Equinox, takes place on the day when the hours of light and dark are of equal length. Ostara was the Goddess of Spring, signifying all that was new and fresh. In the past, old fires were extinguished and the grates were cleaned and this is the origin of the tradition of spring cleaning. Balance and energy breaking out are Wiccan themes for Ostara.

Beltane/May Eve – April 30

The feast of Beltane or May Eve is the traditional Witches’ celebration of fertility and creative energy. On May Day, bonfires were lit, garlands were worn and carols sung. Suitable Wiccan spells for Beltane include love and creativity.

Midsummer/Summer Solstice- June 21

Midsummer or the summer solstice marks the longest day of the year. Now, the Holly King vanquishes the Oak King and we begin our long descent toward the darkness of winter. It’s a time to plan and to take stock of the year so far. Spells for confidence and decision-making are appropriate.

Lammas – August 1

At Lammas, we can see that summer is fading as we prepare to gather the first harvest. It’s a time for Wiccan spell work around riches, appreciation and contemplation.

Autumn Equinox – September 21

This is the time for rest after labour and planning for the future as we head towards Samhain and complete the Wheel of the Year. Balance, flow and self-discipline are also hallmarks of this festival.

Wiccan Spells for Full Wolf Moon January 16, 2014

Howling WolfThe full moon on January’s 16, 2014 is known as Wolf Moon, Quiet Moon or Chaste Moon. As it occurs early in the morning on the 16th, you may want to start your spell work on January 15, in order to take advantage of the powers of the waxing moon. It’s the perfect time to cleanse and charge your tools for the next Wiccan sabbat, Imbolc, which takes place on February 1st.

Flowers associated with this month are carnations and snowdrops; stones are garnet and jet. Because the sun sign Capricorn, (December 22 – January 20), rules, the full moon is in the opposite sign of Cancer.

FULL WOLF MOON IN CANCER  

During a full moon in Cancer, you might be more sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others, particularly if they are negative. So, this is a good time for cleansing rituals.  My eBook Simple Wiccan Magick Spells for Everyday has a house cleaning and blessing spell. Love spells and others regarding the family and home life are also traditional with a Cancer full moon.

CANCER FULL MOON LOVE SPELL

Do you want romantic love, a new companion or partner? Do you want to rekindle the flame with your current love?  Do you want more love and togetherness among your family and friends? Do you want to love yourself more? These are the questions to ask yourself before you proceed with any love spell. You can use your own love spell or the one from my Simple Wiccan Magick Full Moon Spells & Rituals, where you will create a talisman to help you remember to channel the energies of the ceremony. You will also need a rose quartz stone, vervain oil and incense and a pink candle.
