Current Moon Phase for December 2nd: Waning Gibbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /74% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Current Moon Phase for November 30th – Full Moon (Waning)

Full Moon

(waning/86% illumination)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life.

Moon Spell

Moon Spell

 

Materials:

  • A small globe of crystal or clear glass.

 

Initial Preparation:

The first time you starts this spell and every time you wish to use it for a new special purpose, you have to clear and consecrate the globe of crystal/glass by holding it up to the light of the Full Moon, so that the lunar image is caught therein.

Monthly:

After this has been performed, the globe may be used as a charm to procure the secret wish of the owner.  On the night of each New Moon, hold the sphere in the left palm, by candlelight, gaze upon it, and chant:

Crescent be full and crystal fill: Thus my eye and thus my will: Fiat Voluntus Abdita! Fiat Voluntus Abdita!! Fiat Voluntus Abdita!!!

The globe should then be kept in a small bag of leather incribed with figures of the Moon’s phases, and worn about the neck during those days and nights between the crescent and the full.  While it is not being worn, the globe should be wrapped in a black cloth and hidden away.

Dark Moon
Hidden Moon
Old Moon
Shining on the crossroads of our souls.
Darkness hides nothing
But our fears
But your mysteries
But the hounds who wait
To leap upon us.
Underground stream
Underworld river
Keeper of deep places
Keeper of magic
Lead us trembling
Into our own darkness
To be midwifed out again.
You offer us retreat from the rigors of the day
To find the challenge of the depths.
Wild old witch of the waning moon,
Lady of the dark caves that wait
In unending damp echoes
Like the hollow rooms of our minds,
You know the wisdom of the secret places
And we dare not pretend that your kingdom
Does not lie beneath all that we have built.

Chant: Hecate Cave Within
Old Mother let us in
Hecate Cave Within
Guide us through the dark
