Did Anyone See the Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse? (Patreon)

Hey witches! Did anyone do anything special for the Super Flower Blood Full Moon Eclipse? Or did you just chill? I’m currently PMSing so hard right now so I’ve been feeling a bit cray cray and emotional. And sore and so tired! Was anyone able to see the eclipse?

If you want to do a ritual, you still can! The energy of the eclipse can be felt from 2 days before and 3 days after. You can charge your crystals and make moon water, too, if you feel comfortable! If not, that’s totally fine because it is a lot of strong, chaotic energy.

Lunar Eclipse Rituals You Can Do Still:

"The time between the lunar and solar eclipse is a portal," says DeFaltay, from the source listed below, who has studied astrology all her life. "People use this energy as a symbol for what they want to change in their life."

DeFaltay says that the eclipse represents a culmination of energy, and for this eclipse, she recommends that people focus on what they want to release — like bad habits and negative thinking — in order to focus their energy.

There are dozens of different rituals someone can perform, such as taking a ritual bath, but DeFaltay says the most important aspect of any given ritual is that it's personal to the one performing it.

"During the eclipse, people will sit in meditation or light a candle or write about what they want to manifest and what they're looking to release," DeFaltay says. She says you should set your intention, think about what you want to create, and "send it out into the universe."

There are different specific rituals you can follow, but for the most part, DeFaltay recommends just utilizing the eclipse to set an intention and work towards goal clarity.

Lately, a few people seem to have latched onto the idea that it’s just plain dangerous to perform magic during a lunar eclipse, especially if you’re a “newbie Pagan.” There is absolutely no logical basis for this theory. If you’re worried enough about the state of your psyche that you believe it could be somehow damaged by doing magic during an eclipse, then you need to either (a) not do magic at all, or (b) learn how to ground, center and shield so you won’t self-sabotage any workings you do.

So, what kind of workings should you focus on during an eclipse? Well, remember, an eclipse only takes place during the full moon phase of the lunar cycle, so this is a good time to do rituals focused on personal growth and spiritual development. Some examples could include, but are not limited to:

- Spells related to increasing your intuitive awareness and psychic ability, as well as divination and wisdom.

- Healing magic or rituals, particularly those that tie in to women's mysteries or reproductive health.

- Rituals that connect you closely with deity, such as Drawing Down the Moon, or other spell work designed to invoke the god or goddess of your tradition.

- Any working related to developing your magical skills.

- Rituals that honor lunar gods and goddesses–now is a really good time to make an offering to them!

Finally, remember that even if an eclipse is taking place where you can’t see it — it’s raining, there’s a cloud cover, or you’re just stuck inside for some reason – you can still take advantage of its power and energy. It’s out there and it’s happening, so make the most of it and use it to your own benefit.
