Full Moon Magick is generally performed from fourteen to seventeen-and-a-half days after the new moon. Prime time for rituals for prophecy, protection, divination. Any working that needs extra power, such as help finding a new job or healing for serious conditions, can be done now. Also, love, knowledge, legal undertakings, money and dreams.
If you can, find a spot outside, in full view of the moon. If you live in
the city and cannot find anywhere but the confines of your dwelling, then
make your abode as warm and spiritually comforting to you as possible;
light candles, play music that feels spiritual to you, burn incense that smells good to you(jasmine and vanilla are good for the moon).
Purify your space and yourself with incense, sage, salt, a witches' broom,
or by visualizing protective white light surrounding the area and your
body.
Start by inviting the elements in (casting a circle)...Start with air: "I
call upon the spirits and powers of air; intellect, thouht, and
imagination,
come into this sphere on this night of the full moon. Be here now." If you
have any representation of air, such as a white or yellow candle (light it
now), or a feather, etc. place this in the east. Visualize this part of the
circle protected by air.
Move now to the south. Call in fire. "I call upon the spirits and powers of
fire; passion, action, and regeneration, come into this sphere on this
night
of the full moon. Be here now." Light any red or orange candles you may
have
or place any other representations of fire in the south. Visualize this
part
of the circle protected by fire.
Move now to the west. Call on water. "I call upon the spirits and powers of
water; emotion, purification, and fluidity. Come into this sphere on this
night of the full moon. be here now." Light any blue or purple candles you
may have or place shells or water in the west. Visualize this part of the
circle protected by water.
Move to the north. Call on earth. "I call upon the spirits and powers of
earth; balance, nature, and sustinence. Come into this sphere on this night
of the full moon. Be here now." Light any green or brown candles you may
have or place any representations of earth such as a plant, dirt, or stones
in the north. Visualize this part of the circle protected by earth.
Now with your dominant pointing finger, an athame, wand, or feather,
visually draw a circle from the point at the east in a clockwise, or
deosil,
motion, ending back at the east. The circle is now cast and ready for the
God and the Goddess to enter.
You may have candles or other representations for the God and Goddess, but
it is not necessary, just as it is not really necessary to have any
representations of the elements; but it helps.
Sit or stand in the middle of your circle and start with the Goddess. You
may use your own words as they come to you, this is just a suggestion to
start with...
"Hail, Goddess of the moon, (you may add a Goddess name or three in here if
you wish), hear me. Descend and illuminate this circle with your prescence
and light. Be here now." (the more accolades and words of emotion, the
better)- light any candle that represents her and place it in front of you
to your left.
"Hail, cosort of the Goddess, Lord of the night. (you may add any god names
here) Come into this circle and bless it with your strength and protection.
Be here now." (light any candle that represents him and place it in front
of
you to your right.)
Now, with all the energies and dieties called in, sit down in a comfortable
position. Start your full moon meditation or any meditation that you know
works for you. Here is my full moon meditation. You may add to or change it
when you feel the urge to do so...
Close your eyes and start by focusing on your breathing. Breath in and out
DEEPLY at least three times. Quiet your mind. Clear out all annoying or
disturbing thoughts. Erase your worries. Become a pure light of energy.
Breathe deeply. Visualize yourself in a deep forest, surrounded by its
sounds and flora. The full moon is above you, in a clearing in the middle
of
the treetops. In front of you is a warm, soft fire in a pit. You hear its
crackling. You feel the cool grass underneath you. You feel the cool air
with an occasional warm breeze. Hear the wind through the trees...Look up
at
the moon. You see a soft, sparkling, illuminescent beam of light coming
down
from its orb. You sense it coming right to you. You stand up and wait for
this energy to reach you. You stretch your hands up to it. It slowly
touches
your fingertips. You feel your fingers tingling. It's a warm, happy,
energetic feeling; full of magic. It moves down your arms and all
throughout
your body. You feel the power and strength of the moon and its magic. You
have the power to make any dream come true. This is an excellent time to
make a wish if you have one. This is also a good time for your dedication,
or just to speak with the goddess and/or god....
If you wish to, you can see
the God or goddess in the orb of the moon, looking back at you and smiling
with love and approval. They are happy you are here to see them. They know
your heart, and they know if you are sincere, just as you know it yourself.
As their images fade, one last brilliant flash from the moon almost blinds
you; and you know your wishes and words have been heard. With that flash,
the beam of light retreats back to the orb, but you still feel infused and
energized by its beam. You have been divinely touched, and may return
anytime you wish...Now, look back down at your soft campfire, now fading
into embers. Close your eyes and feel a sphere of this light still inside
you. Breathe it in- and slowly open your eyes. Thank the God and Goddess.
Now, with your palms, touch your floor or the earth to ground. Feel the
throbbbing heartbeat of energy that the earth gives off. Know that you are
back and safe and still full of this moon energy, and now, the earth's
energy as well.
Thank the god and goddess for being here and dismiss them individually.
Start with the earth element- thank it and dismiss it, putting any candles
out with your fingers or a snuffer, but not your breath...Move
counter-clockwise, or widdershins, to the three remaining elements.
Dissmiss
them and thank them.
Your circle is now open but never broken. You are protected above, below,
in front, behind, to your left, to your right, and within. So Mote It Be.
