Aries Blood Moon and Total Lunar
Eclipse
The lunar
eclipse begins on October 8, 2014 at 6:25AM, Eastern Daylight Time.
The Full
Moon will occur the same day at 6:55AM EDT.
Wednesday’s
Blood Moon will be nearly the size of a super moon, appearing 5.3% larger than
last April’s Blood Moon. The total lunar eclipse, lasting about an hour, will
be visible over Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas.
The eclipse
marks the completion of a cycle and a particularly good year for those born on
October 8 or April 8. Additionally, according to Pam Ciampi, co-author of Llewellyn’s 2014 Daily Planetary Guide, this
eclipse “can be a major positive influence on national or global power
struggles.” Let’s hope so!
Moon Magic
Use a burnt
red-orange or white cloth on your personal altar. Add a dark red candle to
represent the fire sign Aries and the sun’s rays slipping around the periphery
of the Earth and reddening the moon. Add a white candle to represent peace and
the moon in its normal state. Consider performing personal magic for completion
and global magic for peace.
String Magic
For personal
magic you will need a length of red yarn or string that is long enough to fit
around your wrist (or ankle) after knotting. Or you may make it 9 inches to
harness the power of three times three, wrap it around your wrist or ankle, or
leave it on your altar.
1. Perform this spell the night before the
Blood Moon or during the full moon before it becomes void of course (10:20 AM,
EDT).
2. Before you begin the working, thread a
bead or in some other way mark the point where you will begin the spell. Then
knot each end of the yarn to keep it from unraveling. For global magic, use a
white or pale blue yarn.
3. What project or cycle do you wish to
complete? Light the red candle. List three things you can do to wrap up the
process. Place the list on your altar and read it out loud. Holding the red
yarn or string, envision completing the tasks or actions with ease and grace. As
you say the spell below, tie the first knot near the bead, then the second
wherever the placement feels right, then the third near the end away from the
bead:
A knot of one, the work
has begun.
A knot of two, I see it
through.
A knot of three, so mote
it be.
4. Over the next three days untie the
knots in the order your tied them.
Day One: begin the work;
untie the first knot.
Day Two: see it through;
untie the second knot.
Day Three: release the
third knot as you complete your goal.
For Global Peace and/or Wellness
1. If possible, perform this spell on
Tuesday before the Blood Moon. Tuesdays are the best day for magic involving
men, conflict, and politics.
2. Use a nine-inch white or pale blue
yarn. Thread a bead to mark the point where you will start, and then knot each
end of the cord. Decide on your intent — conclude one particular conflict or
more? Stop Ebola? Choose how long you wish to power the magic. Three weeks?
Three months?
3. Light the white candle. Hold the cord as
you envision a global conflict or health pandemic ending. Envision the crisis
as it is now, and then imagine the steps that must be taken (peace treaty
brokered, creation and dispersal of a vaccine, etc.) to achieve a positive
outcome. Then envision peace or wellness. Once knotted, do not wear the string.
Leave it on your altar.
A knot of one, the work
has begun.
A knot of two, I see it
through.
A knot of three, so mote
it be.
4. The day after you perform the spell,
untie the first knot. If you chose a three-week spell, then untie the second
knot on the second week, the third knot on the third week. For a three-month
spell, untie the first knot on the day after you cast the spell. Release the
second knot at the November full moon and the third knot at the December full
moon.
