While I can’t see the full glory of the blood moon from my spot on America’s east coast, I’m still pretty stoked about it!
A “blood moon” happens when the moon is in a total lunar eclipse. The position of the moon and the earth shifts the light wavelengths from the sun, which blocks blue light and lets in mostly red light, thus creating the striking sight in the sky of the red or brownish full moon.
This moon is also a “super” moon because of the proximity of the moon to Earth. It’s closer, which makes it appear bigger, or “super.”
Technically, there is no astrological significance in this super blood moon. But that doesn’t have to stop us from making it a cool-as-hell event!
Plus, the full moon is when magical energies peek and is the perfect time for practicing a little magick.
Here are a five quick and easy things to do to take advantage of the expansive energies that occur during a full moon:
Call in abundance. This super simple affirmation is great for calling in energies of abundance into your home.
Open your front door and say aloud, whisper, or say to yourself:
I now open the door to wealth. I invite in luxury, prosperity, and abundance. All good things flow to me now. And so it is.
Release limiting beliefs. This is another super simple ritual to help you come into your higher purpose or simply feel better about yourself. This works during the full moon because it is beginning to wane, which makes it a good time to banish conditions you no longer desire.
Write down all the things that have glued themselves to you that weigh you down on a piece of paper. I like to tear a note card into small pieces and write a word on each piece. Some of these “words,” things, or people can be: lack of confidence, feeling stuck, feeling unworthy, a person’s name that you want to distance yourself from. Or anything that you want to rid yourself of.
When you have your words written down, go outside or grab a fireproof container like a pot if burning things outside is out of the question. Then, burn each piece of paper, and as you do, visualize those words or limiting beliefs leaving your body, as if the weight is literally being lifted off of you as the smoke and ash are released into the ether.
For added kick, as each paper burns, chant: I now release feelings of unworthiness (or whatever your paper says). I am now free from this affliction.
Repeat until the piece is completely burned.
Call in romance. If you have them, make a tincture of rose essential oil, sandalwood essential oil, and sweet almond oil (if you don’t have these, it’s okay).
This is best performed at sunrise. Dab a little oil on your belly, third eye, and palms. Greet the rising sun with open arms, and say:
I now draw beautiful love into my life. I am irresistible to this love. It nourishes my heart, mind, body, and spirit in every way. Love, come to me now. Love, come to me now. Love, come to me now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And so it is.
Clear and cleanse your home. This is great if your home is in need of a positivity boost.
First, literally clean your house. Dust and dirt harbor negative energy. It’s easy not to think of it this way, but it becomes noticeable after we’ve cleaned our house and we feel good and refreshed.
Second, clean and restore positive energy. Burn some sage or incense and carry it around your house in a clockwise fashion. Let the smoke get into all the corners of your home. (Be sure to use a tray to catch any ash or cinders that may fall off.)
For added kick, while clearing the energy in your house, chant: I cleanse this space of all negativity and call in positivity, abundance, good health, and good luck.
Manifest a new job. If you’re in need of a job that aligns more with your soul, or if you just need a job, this ritual will help.
First, meditate and imagine your “perfect” job. See yourself doing it in your mind’s eye. Imagine how it feels, what it looks like, and even how much money you’ll make. Allow yourself to be in a receptive state.
Light a candle. One made from bee’s wax is best, but if you don’t have one, draw or carve a bee on the wax with a toothpick or other sharp tool.
Then sit with a piece of paper and your candle and write down what you want from your job. It might be something like:
The culture at my job is amazing.
I like my coworkers and my coworkers like me.
This job is perfect for my abilities and talents.
I make $___ a year. (don’t be shy here.)
Whatever else is important to you.
Be specific about what you want, but not so specific that you limit your options. And remember to be open to the possibility that the perfect job for you might not look exactly like what you envision, but will still be perfect for you now.
Fold your paper toward you eight times and keep it in a safe place. If you have a clear quartz crystal, place it on top. Let the candle burn out over time. It’s okay to extinguish it and relight it.
And remember to thank the Universe for the awesome new job! Imagine it as if it’s already done.
Let me know if you tried any of these and if they worked for you!
Love and magick!
