Current Moon Phase for October 2: Full Moon

Full Moon

(waning/92% 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.

New Moon Report for September 29 – Full Moon in Aries

Full Moon in Aries

Saturday, September 29, 8:20 pm PDT, 11:20 pm EDT

The hyperactive Aries Full Moon is restless and ready for action. While the opposing Libra Sun prefers a gentler approach to change or simply straddling the fence, it’s unlikely to have its way now. Rebellious Uranus conjuncts the Moon and opposes the Sun while implacable Pluto squares both, rattling everyone’s cage one way or the other. This is a highly excitable lunation that spikes emotions and charges the atmosphere with surprises and drama. It could, though, be a starting point for creating a radically different world with personal and collective breakdowns and breakthroughs. Maintaining flexibility is the secret to successfully riding these extraordinary waves of change without falling into despair or turning anger against others. If love conquers fear, anything is possible!

Calendar of the Sun for September 24

Calendar of the Sun

24 Halegmonath

Yemaya’s Day

Colors: Blue and silver
Element: Water
Altar: Upon cloth of blue place strings of silver stars, seven blue candles, a bowl of rice, a bowl of blue corn meal, a bowl of salt water, a bowl of sea salt, and many shells.
Offerings: The food should be taken, if possible, to an ocean shore and left for the tides to take it away. If this is not possible, it should be dissolved in salt water and given back to the earth.
Daily Meal: Fish and seafood.

Invocation to Yemaya

Ocean Mother
Whose blood runs with the tides
Whose pulse is the turning of the moon
Beating like a great white drum
Whose soul is a white bird flying
Over the waves
Into the moonlight
Whose children are everywhere
Whose love is neverending
Whose sacrifice is awesome
And from whose embrace we once
Crawled long ago.
Ocean Mother who sacrifices for her children
Even to the point of pain,
But who requires that we do the same for our own,
Teach us, Yemaya, what it is
To love more than we can understand.
Ocean Mother,
May we never take for granted
Your pulse
Within our veins.

(The salt water is passed around, and all anoint themselves with it.)

Chant: Yemaya Yemaya
Tides turn on the shore
Yemaya Yemaya
White seagull soars
Yemaya Yemaya
Moon Moon Yemaya

To Break a Voodoo Curse

To Break a Voodoo Curse

Items You Need:

Blood Root

 

The Spell:

On a night when the Moon is in a Waning phase, take a blood root (a favorite Voodoo root used for breaking all evil spells and hexes) and throw it onto the doorstop of the person who has placed the curse upon you. You will then be released from his or her magickal power and the imprecation will immediately be turned back to the sender of the curse.

Current Moon Phase for Sept. 21: Waxing Moon

Crescent Moon

(waxing/44% illumination)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.
