How I like to celebrate the Full Moon!!
Hello, everyone!! Itās been a while, and Iām really sorry about that! With school, work, and my own personal relationship issues; itās been quite hectic in my life! But, Iām here now; and Iād like to share some ways that I like to celebrate the full moon!!
So, first of all; Iām sure that thereās at least one of us who might not know the significance of the full moon thatās in about two weeks! Let me explain why this moon is super significant: Halloween full moon is a relatively rare occurrence. The next Halloween with a full moon will occur this Halloween/Samhain!! The previous fullones date back to Halloween 2001 and 1955. The entire 21st century will see only six Halloween full moons: 2001, 2020, 2039, 2058, 2077, and 2096. With the non-spiritual facts out of the way; letās get to the spiritual side of things!
As stated above, Octoberās second full Moon appears on Saturday, October 31, making Halloween night extra special this year. This full Moon is known as the Hunterās Moon, as this is the time of year when humans and animals alike are stocking up on food in preparation for the long winter ahead. This is also known as a āBlue Moon.ā It is also believed to be the time of year when the veil between the living and deceased is super thin!! So, please be extra careful if you do any form of spirit work/divination; make sure youāre grounded and safe.
MOON FOLKLORE:
Corn planted under a waning Moon grows slower but yields larger ears.
Babies born a day after the full Moon enjoy success and endurance.
A new Moon in your dreams promises increased wealth or a happy marriage.
Here are some ways that I celebrate the full moon!!
1. Observing the moon!
The simplest witchcraft rituals are often the best. Just looking at the moon is a magical act and a divine communication in and of itself.
It doesnāt need to be complicated ā just go outside and look! Gaze gently, see every shadow and every line. See how the light diffuses around it. See how it illuminates the world and the night sky. Just watch without expectation or assumption about what might happen. Breath deeply and enjoy!
2. Talking to the Moon!!
Whilst you are outside looking at the moon you might feel drawn to speak to the moon. Donāt hold back ā speak whatās in your heart and mind! You can speak out loud (I often use a purposeful whisper) or in your mind. You might like to prepare something in advance if you do not feel confident.
3. Acknowledging the elements!!
A very simple ritual which can be done any time, but is particularly strong at the full moon is to acknowledge the elements where you live. To do this I simply go outside and take some deep breaths, and say something like:
āI breathe of the Earth, of the land which Holds Me
I breathe of the Air, of the breeze which Inspires Me
I breathe of the Water, of the rivers which free Me
I breath of the Fire, of the flame which illuminates Me
I breathe of the Elements. I breathe of Lifeā
I then spend a few moments just ābeingā.
Remember ā the elements exist everywhere and all around us. Whilst some traditions attribute elements to specific directions there is no need to do this, and I do not turn or face a certain direction when I do this greeting.
Thank you very much for reading this!! I hope you all have a wonderful day/night, stay safe, and blessed be!!
