✨Lucky 13✨

Today is Friday the 13th, a celebrant of magick and good fortune. Both the day and the number are associated with the Great Goddesses, and therefore, regarded as the sacred essence of luck and good fortune.

Thirteen is certainly the most essentially female number -- the average number of menstrual cycles in a year. The approximate number, too, of annual cycles of the moon. Thirteen is the number of blood, fertility, and lunar potency. Embrace the magick!

Sending blessings from MooncraftmagickStore to you and your loved ones. May the day bring you good fortune.

🍁Mabon Magick🍁

In many countries, the autumn equinox was a time to revere and speak to relatives that had passed over to the other side. This tradition now seems more akin to Halloween/Samhain but, as we slip into the autumn months and the light fades away, now is actually the perfect time to be looking at the darker side of life and thinking about the uncomfortable things from which we usually shy away.

While there is an element of darkness to Mabon, it is still firmly a harvest festival and is closely linked with apples and sweet fruit. Mabon, just like the autumn equinox that houses it, is a time of embracing balance in your life – welcoming in the dark and the light. To honour this, journaling your emotions can really help you get a handle on the change and juxtapositions that are occurring at this time of year.

Honour your ancestors by including photographs on your altar, making their favourite foods or visiting places you once went to together. This might be tricky, particularly if your loss is very recent, but finding light in the darkness can be a way of easing any sadness that autumn might stir up. 🍁🍁

❄️Welcome December❄️

This magickal month seems to come when everyone needs it most.

December is truly magickal, anything can happen.

December can be warm one day and snowing a white wonderland the next.

Not only does December contain the excitement of Yule and Christmas, it also gives us a time to reflect. To reminisce on the good and bad times of the year; the best is saved for last and the close of December brings the start of a new beginning.

So make sure you grab hold of December and let it sprinkle a little magick into your life before it is too late. Sending December blessings to you and your loved ones. 💙💙

🥚Rebirth & Renewal🥚

Easter is a time of rebirth, a time to reflect and go forward with new intention. Eggs are a symbol of new life and rebirth, just as nature returns to life after the cold of winter or Jesus is resurrected after the crucifixion. Decorating and eating eggs on Easter first became a custom during the Middle Ages, when people would decorate and eat hard boiled eggs following Easter Sunday mass after fasting throughout Lent. This ritual is still popular in many Eastern European countries, where you’ll find families hand painting and eating actual (non-chocolate) eggs on Easter.

The symbol of the rabbit also represents new life as it symbolises fertility, rebirth, and renewal as celebrated by the pagans. The sacred symbol of the goddess Eostre was a hare, and rabbits have long been considered a symbol of fertility due to their ability to reproduce quickly and in large numbers.

✨Moon’s Companion✨

For wild cats, each month will adjust the schedule of life according to the moonlight intensity and the change of the moon position. Pet cats are not as "sensitive" to the moon as wild cats.

But the influence of the moon on cats can still be observed.

When the moonlight is gone, many pet cats will eat. A few days before the full moon, many pet cats will eat less, and their appetite will return to a good state at the full moon.

At the full moon, domestic pet cats are also prone to restlessness, and some cats still try to go out and play.

When the moonlight is gone, cats will often be with people. But this is not the only factor that cats like to look at the moon.

Another important factor is that cats are used to seeing the "moon as an indicator".

Whether it is a wild cat or a domestic cat, it needs to use some things in the environment or around as indicators.

For all cats, the moon is a good indicator.

If your cat often goes out to play, on the way home, the cat will use the position of the moon to identify the direction.

For domestic cats, the location of the moon is also an important factor for cats to define their home. In addition, the results of the new research on cats show that moonlight itself can have some effects on the health of cats.

A view that has gradually become a trend is: allows cats to see the moon, which can increase the natural atmosphere of the cat’s living environment .

And this natural atmosphere can alleviate many domestic pet cats "emotional problems caused by being kept at home for a long time."

If the window itself has good ventilation, then the moon and fresh air are enough to make a cat feel good. If your cat likes to stare at the moon outside the window, try not to disturb the cat.

Looking at the moon can make cats feel better and less stressed, truly the moon’s companion! Sending blessings to you and your loved ones. 💙💙

☔️The Magick of Rain☔️

Nothing is more soothing than listening to the sound of rain on a dark October evening, remembering that rain is just as much a part of the wilderness as anything else.

There is great value in being exposed to the elements more often. We spend much of our lives in climate-controlled shelters, and can sometimes forget the symphony of a rainstorm on our tent, the beauty of silver raindrops jumping out of the lake, the excitement of a cloudburst from nowhere, and how quickly we dry out.

According to an old woodsman's adage "No matter how cold and wet you are, you're always warm and dry." If not warm and dry, perhaps we find that we are less uncomfortable than expected…and more appreciative of the sun when it shines.

Sending Mooncraftmagick blessings to you and your loved ones. 💙💙

🎄Happy Christmas/Saturnalia🌞

Pagans celebrate on the same 25 December, the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. It is a joyous winter festival honouring the the god of agriculture — and the return of the sun. In these solemnities and revelries, the Christians also took part.

Historians argue about the exact relation between Saturnalia and Christmas — the holiday that, by many accounts, grew out of it. Or perhaps, co-opted it. But, for all, it is an occasion to celebrate and look forward to new beginnings.

Happy Saturnalia/Christmas magickal ones. Hope your day is blessed. 💙💙

🌞Midsummer Magick🌞

Midsummer, falling on the 21st June 2022, is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Goddess is now full and pregnant with Child, and the Sun God is at the height of His virility.

This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements.

Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year.

At this time the God, as Oak King, is rich in abundance, but he too surrenders his reign to his brother twin, the Holly King, and the descent begins.

But before we welcome the return to the Dark side of the year, and acknowledge this great turning point of the Wheel, we celebrate!

Sending Midsummer Magick and Litha blessings from Mooncraftmagick to you and your loved ones.

🥖Lammas Blessings🥖

Lammas is one of the four “Greater Sabbats,” making it one of the most important days on the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. It is the cross-quarter day between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox, and it marks the beginning of the harvest season. Though it’s often the hottest part of the Summer, this is also the moment when the first hints of Autumn are perceptible—the first grains are ready to be harvested, the trees begin dropping their fruits, and the ever-shortening daylight becomes more apparent with each sunset. At this time we give thanks for the abundance of the past growing season and look forward to the remaining weeks of light and warmth as we continue reaping what we have sown.

Wiccan mythology holds that the God’s power begins to wane at this time, as the days grow shorter and the crops are ready to be cut down. In some traditions, the Sun God actually infuses the grain with his power, and so is sacrificed, in a sense, when the grain is harvested. This grain is then used to bake the first bread from the year’s crop, which in earlier times would then be taken to a church and laid on the altar to be blessed. This custom is a good example of how pagan religions and Christianity were able to coexist and even commingle for a time. The name “Lammas” actually comes from this tradition, taken from an old Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning “loaf mass.” 💙💙

🌙Magickal Moon Musings🌙

Solar Eclipse. Blood Moon. Harvest Moon. Ruler of the waves. Temptress of the tides. Do you ever notice that you are out of sorts around the same time each month? Have you looked up to the heavens and noticed that big, beautiful bulb shining fully? Is there a correlation? You are not alone!

The moon, our Earth-home’s satellite, has a scientific sway on our ocean, crops, and moods. It is no wonder this celestial body has marked the passage of time, and been studied and worshipped for thousands of years. Connecting with the phases of the moon can bring awareness to other cycles and rhythms within our own body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Although the moon is always whole, depending where the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in their rotations, only part of the moon is visible to us at any given time. This is why there is the New Moon phase (when the moon is not visible from Earth), Waxing and Waning Moon phases (when a crescent or partial moon is visible), and Full Moon phase (the moon is illuminated when the Earth is located directly between the Sun and the Moon).

In almost all faith traditions, the New Moon is considered the start of the month and a good time to begin projects. In many cultures, the Full Moon is considered a time of celebration, delight, and mystery.

However you define your spirituality, choosing to tap into the energy of the moon can add an element of beauty, mystery, and flow to your convictions. Sending magickal moon musings form Mooncraftmagick to you and your loved ones. 💙💙

🍓Strawberry Moon🍓

June’s Full Moon, happening on the 14th June GMT, is named after the wild strawberries that ripen this month and could be gathered by the Native American tribes. Other native names are Berries Ripen Moon, Green Corn Moon, and Hot Moon.

The Celtic names are Horse Moon, Dyan Moon, and Rose Moon. Other English names are Flower Moon and Planting Moon. Other sources quote Mead Moon as the Anglo-Saxon name because this was the time for mowing the meads, or meadows.

🌕🐟Sturgeon Supermoon🐟 🌕

Three supermoons have filled our skies in as many months this year, and this week sees the fourth – and last – supermoon of 2022. Supermoons are full moons that appear much bigger and brighter than normal.

Supermoons take place when a full moon coincides with the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to the Earth. They do not happen all that often, so to catch a glimpse of the rare celestial event is pretty special.

The Sturgeon supermoon rises at 8:55pm on Thursday 11th August as seen from London as the sun begins to set at 8.30pm. The supermoon will reach its peak – otherwise known as a syzygy, when the Moon is almost directly between the Sun and the Earth in a straight line configuration – at 2.36am on the morning of 12th August.

Sadly, this will be the last supermoon of the year. There was the Flower Moon in May, then June's Strawberry Moon, followed by the Buck Moon – the largest supermoon of the year, orbiting closer to Earth than any other full moon – last month.

The Old Farmer's Almanac named August's full moon after the giant sturgeon fish of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, which were often caught during this part of the summer. Alternative names for the Sturgeon Moon are the Flying Moon, Corn Moon and Ricing Moon, amongst others.

🍁Autumn Aurality🍁

Be still and listen as Autumn brings its orchestral overtures of nature’s magick.

We are used to noise around us almost constantly, but how often do we actually stop and listen to the sounds of nature around us? The leaves gently falling from the trees, and the scrunch of them underfoot. The magickal sound of the rain gently falling as darkness falls…

Learning to listen to the stillness is to ‘feel’ Autumn’s gentle music lulling us into a nurturing slumber of regeneration and rest.

May Autumn’s aurality bring you peace, rest and blessings, from Mooncraftmagick. 💙💙
