Blessing Moon - 15/07/2011

Happy full moon everyone, Blessing Moon tonight. The full moon of July is known to represent work, tolerance and learning. The spells to do during this time, may relate to your work life, personal relationships or concentration.

There are many activities to do, to fully appreciate Blessing Moon. For each Wiccan it is different, I have listed some possible activities below.

• Set up a Summer altar, you can simply decorate it with Summer colours/fruits or pictures.
• Perform a ritual, thanking your chosen Divine for the fortune that has recently come your way, whether it be a new job, a good harvest or a successful cooking experiment.
• Be creative, choose now to create your own potions, spells or add to your Book of Shadows. As now is the perfect time for any magic!

Blessings to you all!

Lunar Eclipse - 15th June 2011

Now is very special, as it is the longest Lunar Eclipse we have seen in over a century. Parts of Europe and most of Asia will be able to see the full eclipse, while the North parts of Europe, South America and Britain will be able to see it partially.

It will appear in a dark orange/red colour, and for the UK and surrounding areas it will appear at 'moonrise' or 9:20pm. Blessings and special rituals are very important right now because of this special event, the energies are at their most potent, and the Sun King's power is also very influential right now with the closeness of the Summer Solstice. I would suggest casting any spells to do with, wealth, health, prosperity, passion and creativity.

Remember, this month's full moon is not only called Strong Sun Moon, it is also called Lover's moon. So spend time with your special someone tonight.

Blessings to everyone and have an eventful day!

Strong sun moon - 15th June

In June, the sun is at it's highest point and the plants are basking under the glorious rays. So it makes sense for this month's full moon to be called the Strong Sun Moon. This moon is also known as Lover's Moon.

Your magical workings should focus on maintaining and enhancing what you already have, so it is a brilliant time for bonding with family, nurturing your garden, career and soul.

Full moon - May 17th

The Full Moon of May is known as the Flower Moon, it reminds us that all blossoms will be fading from this point and onwards. This is part of Life's natural cycle. During this time, the faded flowers teach us to take only what we need and store away things for later. The Goddess is in her phase of Mother at this time, so she is at her most powerful. Now is a good time to perform any rituals or magic, as your results are likely to be successful.
