Summer Blue Full Moon Ceremony
- Details
- Written by CrystalWind.ca
Blue Full moon magic is something that people have been performing throughout history. Each month’s moon represents different energies, depending on the time of year and what is happening in nature at the time. A full moon’s energy is very potent so many people choose to do powerful monthly magic on that evening. However, there is one extra special full moon; a Blue Moon. Because Blue Moons happen “once in a blue moon”, it’s a good time to take advantage of their valued energy for doing special magic, ceremony and ritual.
A blue moon occurs about every two and a half years, making it a perfect time to do special magic and honor the Goddess.
This special ceremony can be conducted as a group or just as beautiful on your own. .
If with a group each member of the group brings an item to place on the altar that represents the warmth of the summer growing season. Some ideas would be:
- Fresh herbs or flowers
- Summer fruits such as strawberries, raspberries
- Solar symbols
- Sea water, sand or shells
Assign a member of the group to call each quarter. Each person should stand at their assigned quarter holding their unlit candle (and a lighter or matches), and facing the altar. If there are more than four of you present, form a circle.
The person in the north quarter lights their candle (green if available), holds it to the sky, and says:
We call upon the powers of Earth,
and welcome you to this circle.
The sun’s heat has warmed the earth
and will bring us the bounty of the soil,
when the harvest time comes.
Place the candle on the altar.
The person to the east should light her candle (yellow if available), hold it to the sky, and say:
We call upon the powers of Air,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the wind bring us fruitfulness
and togetherness of family and friends,
in this season of growth and light.
Place the candle on the altar.
Moving to the south, light a red candle (if available) and hold it to the sky, saying:
We call upon the powers of Fire,
and welcome you to this circle.
May the shining light of this season’s moon
illuminate our way at night,
as the sun has brightened our lives by day.
Place the candle on the altar.
Finally, the person to the west lights a blue candle (if available), holds it to the sky, and says:
We call upon the powers of Water,
and welcome you to this circle.
Although the earth may become dry and parched
during the long hot weeks of summer,
we know that again the rains will come
and bring with them life.
Place the candle on the altar.
Have everyone in the circle join hands and say:
We gather tonight by the light of the moon,
to celebrate the season, and rejoice.
May the next turn of the Wheel bring us love
and compassion, abundance and prosperity,
fertility and life.
As the moon above, so the earth below.
Go around the circle, share one thing they are looking forward to. Summer is a time of growth and development before the harvest arrives. What do you plan to manifest for yourself in the coming month? Now is the time to state your intent.
Take a moment to reflect on the growth you’ve seen since Spring, in yourself and those around you.
A lovely way to finish is read and feel the energy of the Luna Prayer – see below for the words xx
Luna Prayer
Believe in yourself – for you are wonder of creation
Let go of fear – and you’ll discover a shining star
Trust in the healing power of love, for you are an ocean of
light, reflecting the light of the sun, universe and stars
The flame of love resides in your heart, it engulfs all in its path
Through this light, new stars are born. Explosions of love
A glowing heart that moves the ocean tide
One eternal heart forever bathed in light
The night sky a tapestry of jewels. Dew drops form an ocean
Starlight fills your heart with the glow of ancient Suns
Through trees, mountains and valleys
You shine eternally
