🌕 Lunar Eclipses & Magick: This Month is a Portal for Transformation 🪞

Two eclipses this month. Two massive energy shifts. Are you ready to harness them?

Eclipses get a lot of hype in the magickal world. Some witches avoid working with them altogether, while others tap into their raw, amplified power. The truth? An eclipse is just a full moon or a new moon—but supercharged. The energy is extreme, fast-moving, and permanently transformative.

This month, we have both: 🌞 A Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (3/14) → Releasing, refining, shadow work, clearing blocks. 🌑 An Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse (3/29) → Bold new beginnings, personal power, manifestation acceleration.

If you know how to work with these portals intentionally, you can use them to create rapid, lasting change.

🌕 What Kind of Magick is Best for a Full Moon?

A full moon is when energy is at its peak—perfect for: - Releasing what no longer serves you - Finalizing spells & sealing intentions set months ago - Doing deep shadow work & self-exploration - Strengthening intuition & dream magick - Cord cutting, banishing, and purification rituals

When that full moon is also a lunar eclipse? Everything is intensified—spells work faster, subconscious shifts go deeper, and anything out of alignment will be forced into view.

♍ Why the Virgo Eclipse is a Spell-Sharpening Portal

Virgo is the sign of precision, refinement, and mastery. Under this eclipse, your magickal focus should be on cutting out what dulls your power and refining what makes you stronger.

- Physically: Cleanse your space, organize your altar, remove distractions. - Mentally: Release limiting beliefs, patterns, and self-doubt. - Emotionally: Let go of attachments & emotional blocks holding you back. - Magickally: Strip away unnecessary steps and refine your practice for clarity & precision.

The Eclipse Portal is Open—What Will You Do With It?

🌕 Virgo Eclipse Spell Sharpening Hypnosis is on the way! 🗡️

Baptism By Eclipse

A ritual to inspire radical change of the self

Before the eclipse, prepare ashes of cedar and mesquite wood

Make a pitcher of the following and be sure to charge under the sun for several hours. (Do not drink!)

water

rosemary for mental power and motivation

bay leaf for manifestation 

sage for wisdom

lavender for peace and acceptance 

cinnamon bark for personal strength 

comfrey for protection during transition 

Prepare three offerings of your choosing for the sun, moon, and earth.

Just before the eclipse, invite the mind, body, spirit to the ceremony

"I invite the Human Spirit in the form of the Sun, the Human Mind in the form of the Moon, and the Human Body in the form of the Earth to witness this ceremony. As these three celestial bodies align, I offer the following gifts in exchange for your favor." 

Present the offerings. 

"I ask the Earth, the body, to nurture me and guide me through this time of transformation as you have always done."

As the eclipse begins, use the ashes to draw a dark circle on your forehead and say,

"I ask the Moon, the Mind, as you eclipse the sun, let your shadow pass over me and carry my old self with you when you depart."

Meditate on the aspects of yourself you are letting go of, visualize yourself releasing these things, picture yourself as an empty vessel, a clean slate.

As the sun begins to appear say,

"I ask the Sun, the Spirit, as you return, let your light shine on me and grant me the strength to manifest my best self. " 

Pour the water over your face, letting it wash the ashes away. 

Meditate on the person you will become. How will you act, think, feel? Feel the suns warmth on your skin, charging you. Feel the herbs working their magic to inspire you and guide you. You will be a better version of yourself.

During A Lunar Eclipse

The total lunar eclipse on the night of March 13-14, 2025, will be visible across the Midwest. During totality (1:26 AM - 2:31 AM), the Moon will take on a reddish hue due to Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight.

Lunar eclipses are powerful celestial events that carry deep spiritual and magickal significance. They represent a time of transformation, endings, revelations, and deep shadow work. This guide explores the mystical potential of lunar eclipse magick, including its meanings, best practices, spells, and rituals.

Understanding the Magick of a Lunar Eclipse

Astrological and Energetic Influence

• A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the Moon. This symbolizes the veiling of emotions (the Moon) by external forces (the Earth) and the light of consciousness (the Sun).

• Eclipses are seen as moments of fate, bringing hidden truths to the surface.

• They mark a time of release, transformation, and karmic cycles closing.

• The astrological sign in which the eclipse occurs influences the type of energy being released.

Why is Lunar Eclipse Magick Different?

• Unlike regular full moons, lunar eclipses are highly unstable energetically, making them unsuitable for typical full moon rituals (such as manifestation and charging tools).

• Instead, they are ideal for banishing, shadow work, endings, spiritual transformation, and ancestral work.

• Eclipses accelerate spiritual evolution, so spells and intentions cast during this time may have rapid and intense results.

Preparing for Lunar Eclipse Magick

Set Your Intentions Wisely

Since the energies of a lunar eclipse can be unpredictable, take time to reflect on what you truly need to release or transform. Ask yourself:

• What patterns or emotional wounds am I ready to face?

• What cycles in my life are ending?

• What do I need to purge to make space for new growth?

Create a Sacred Space

• Cleanse your space with smoke (sage, palo santo, mugwort) or sound (bells, singing bowls).

• Dim the lights or use candles to reflect the shadowy energy of the eclipse.

• Set up an altar with items related to the Moon (silver objects, lunar crystals like moonstone and selenite, bowls of water).

• If working with deities, ancestors, or spirits, invite them with offerings (wine, honey, incense, or symbolic items).

Ground and Protect Yourself

• Meditate for a few minutes to center yourself.

• Visualize a protective shield of light surrounding you.

• Carry or place grounding crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, or hematite nearby.

Lunar Eclipse Rituals and Spells

Shadow Work Ritual (Best for Inner Healing & Self-Discovery)

Needed:

• A journal or piece of paper

• A black candle

• A mirror

Instructions:

Light the black candle and sit in front of the mirror. Gaze into your own eyes, asking: What truths do I need to face? What parts of myself have I been avoiding? Write down the thoughts and emotions that arise. After journaling, say,

"Under the shadowed Moon, I embrace my hidden self. May I heal, grow, and transform."

Blow out the candle, thanking the eclipse energy for its lessons.

Banishing and Cord-Cutting Spell (Best for Letting Go & Breaking Attachments)

Needed:

• A piece of paper

• A black string or cord

• A candle (black or white)

• A bowl of saltwater

Instructions:

Write down what you want to release (a habit, fear, toxic relationship). Tie the black string around the paper, symbolizing your attachment. Light the candle and say,

"By the power of this eclipse, I release what no longer serves me. The past is gone, the future is mine."

Cut the string with scissors or burn the paper, then drop it into the bowl of saltwater. Dispose of the remnants outside to finalize the release.

Ancestral Connection & Divination (Best for Seeking Guidance & Wisdom)

Needed:

• A photo or object of an ancestor/spirit guide

• A candle (blue or white)

• Tarot or oracle cards

• Mugwort or rosemary incense

Instructions:

Light the candle and incense, inviting your ancestors to join. Meditate, focusing on their presence, and ask for guidance. Shuffle and draw tarot/oracle cards with the question: 'What message do my ancestors have for me?' Record any insights, dreams, or emotions that come through. Thank your ancestors, leaving an offering if desired.

Moon Water for Releasing (Best for Cleansing & Emotional Healing)

Unlike regular full moon water, eclipse-charged water is best used for cleansing rather than charging magical tools.

Instructions:

Place a bowl or jar of water outside during the lunar eclipse. Whisper into the water,

"Absorb the power of transformation, cleanse all that is old."

Use this water later for ritual baths, washing hands after shadow work, or sprinkling around your space for energetic cleansing.

What NOT to Do During a Lunar Eclipse

• Avoid manifestation or charging crystals. The chaotic energy can create unintended effects.

• Do not perform love spells or attraction rituals. Eclipse energy is about endings, not beginnings.

• Refrain from making drastic life decisions. Emotions run high, and things might appear differently after the eclipse.

• Don’t ignore your emotions. If deep feelings arise, acknowledge and process them rather than suppressing them.

Post-Eclipse Integration & Grounding

After the eclipse, you may feel drained or overwhelmed. Here’s how to rebalance:

• Take a Ritual Bath: Use Epsom salts, lavender, or rosemary to cleanse residual energies.

• Journal Your Experience: Write down any emotions, visions, or messages you received.

• Eat Grounding Foods: Root vegetables, herbal teas, and nuts help stabilize your energy.

• Spend Time in Nature: Walking barefoot on grass or meditating outside aids in grounding.

• Rest and Reflect: Eclipse energy lingers for a few days, so give yourself time to process.

Lunar eclipses are portals of deep transformation, offering opportunities for profound inner work. By approaching them with respect, intention, and awareness, you can harness their power for spiritual evolution, healing, and release.

🌕The Full Moon: Virgo, The Worm Moon & Eclipse Energy🌕

Full Moon Blessings, Seekers!

It’s Full Moon time again—the Full Worm Moon rises in the sign of Virgo, and this one comes with an extra dose of enchantment: a lunar eclipse! ✨ This moon is teeming with earth-bound magic, a potent time for release, transformation, and deep healing. So, be sure to peek at some moon charts to catch the eclipse's peak for you locally—you won’t want to miss this cosmic spectacle! 🌕✨

---------

🪱 The Seasonal Magic of the Worm Moon 🪱

March’s Full Moon is known as the Worm Moon, a nod to the softening earth as the land wakes from its winter slumber. The soil stirs, worms wriggle forth, and the first true whispers of Spring call to us. It’s a moon of fertility, renewal, and transition, urging us to clear out the old—both physically and spiritually—to make room for new life and fresh energy. This is the perfect time to shed what no longer serves you, just as the land shakes off the last clutches of winter.

---------

♍ Full Moon in Virgo: Sacred Order & Practical Magic ♍

Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is the sign of ritual, refinement, and sacred order. This full moon brings a practical, grounded energy, perfect for sorting, cleansing, and healing. While Pisces (Virgo’s opposite) dreams, Virgo makes things happen—this is a moon for bringing structure to your magic and clearing mental, emotional, and physical clutter. Think of it as witchy spring cleaning for your soul—a time to organize your practice, update your grimoire, or set new, realistic intentions for your craft.

---------

🌑 The Eclipse: A Portal for Shadow Work & Release 🌑

A lunar eclipse is not chaotic—it is deeply transformative. It compresses an entire moon cycle into one night, making it a powerful time for endings, releases, and working with the void. Think of it as a cosmic reset button, helping us shed outdated patterns, illusions, and limitations. This is deep shadow work territory, where we can unearth hidden truths, reclaim lost power, and close doors that no longer serve our path. This is liminal magic at its finest.

---------

🔮 Ideas for the Full Worm Moon & Eclipse 🔮

🔥 Banishing & Release Ritual – Write down what you’re letting go of, burn it, and scatter the ashes to the wind or bury them in the earth.

🖤 Shadow Work & Divination – Use this eclipse as a portal to your subconscious. Try scrying, tarot journaling, or meditating on what’s hidden in the shadows.

🌿 Grimoire & Spellbook Organization – Virgo loves order! Rewrite, refine, and reorganize your magical practice.

🕯️ Sacred Bathing Ritual – A purifying bath with rosemary, salt, and lemon to cleanse away stagnant energy and reset your spirit. Time it with the peak of the eclipse for more potency.

🛁 Void Ritual Bath - When the eclipse reaches its peak, the liminal veil of the Void stretches wide, calling us to shed, dissolve, and transform. This ritual bath isn’t just about washing away the old—it’s a symbolic death and rebirth, an initiation into a new chapter of power, purpose, and authenticity.

Link to post on Void Ritual

🔮 Energy Cord Cutting – Release toxic ties with a simple cord-cutting ritual using black thread and candle magic.

As the Worm Moon rises and the eclipse sweeps across the sky, honor the endings, embrace the void, and trust in the rebirth that follows. 🌙✨

The Harvest Moon - September’s Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Super Moon •🌝•

─ ⊹ ⊱꒰☆꒱⊰ ⊹ ─

Today the Harvest Moon, or Corn Moon (and I believe for some the Barley Moon) will take place! Its energies are going to be incredibly powerful and “chaotic” however, due to the partial lunar eclipse. Manifestations and rituals will be affected far more emotionally and intensely than a typical full moon, so be careful! Here is a link to help you find out when the eclipse will be visible in your location! Autumn is here, and it’s important to take this time to find gratitude for what we are able to love and access in our present lives (and for most of us I’m sure this time may be a very busy one indeed!). This allows us to celebrate our own version of a bountiful harvest, but this would also be a good time for

• Cleaning and tidying, find something to touch up just a bit that will bring you some clarity or joy or simply cleanse your spaces energetically

• Dancing by a fire would be incredible, but you could also listen to some of your current favorite tunes and allow yourself to get in touch with your physical being as one under the light of the full moon! (You can also do this in other ways and I always like to let myself feel the energy of the celestial body from wherever I am throughout the day)

• Celebrate with someone/others! Share a meal together and maybe catch a glimpse of the eclipse, express thanks to the Earth for nourishment :)

• Go for a walk or watch the sky for some time, let it be a reminder of the interconnectedness between humans and nature

• Let your creativity and imagination flow, if there is a space of creativity that you find much joy in then there is no better way to celebrate the event! Maybe even try some moon-inspired crafts

• Indulge a bit! Whether it be your favorite TV show, a good book, or a delicious treat, let yourself take pleasure in this existence and bask in the harvest!

• Journaling! It’s always a great way to find some time to understand yourself, your wants and needs, and just releasing yourself into a medium that is thankfully very accessible🙏✏️

• Meditation and release, perform a you-specific ritual to release energies in your life that may be hurting you or find some time to meditate

There is also so much more! And while there are many cultures and traditions whose mythos or rituals have revolved around the Harvest Moon for a long long time, it is all up to you to determine how you want to celebrate it :)

(Please leave some comments and criticisms! I hope you enjoyed!)

[raining-tulips]

Yes eclipses suck and feel awful, terrifying, emotionally exhausting...but less people talk about how eye opening and empowering they can be. How something just shifts and suddenly you can see clearly, you can make a choice confidently, and you can rest knowing that it's truly your choice.

That's how this one felt for me.

This isn’t just another full moon. This is a total lunar eclipse. A cosmic force that shifts reality, sharpens spellwork, and amplifies manifestations in ways no ordinary moon can.

One thing I’ve loved about the eclipse is learning how different ancient cultures viewed it, literally and symbolically. Many saw it as an omen of death and strife, or an attack on the Sun God itself.

The thing I love the most is seeing the outpour of love humanity has for the Sun. Apollon or Re or whatever you call him. Imagine being an Apollon devotee back in those days, and seeing his glory being completely overtaken in real time! Scary! How they must have prayed and wished for him to return! How terrified they must have been at the prospect of losing our dear Sun forever! How we took him for granted! How we lived our days obliviously thinking he would always be with us! Oh no! Dear Sun please smile on us again! We love you! We call for you! Oh glorious God, do not leave us in darkness!

And then, moments later, the moon passes by, and his light grows again, and soon things are back to normal, it’s like nothing even happened. He’s returned! Like he said he always would! Was it because of our praying? Was it because he knew how much we’d miss him? Oh well, who knows! All that matters is that our lovely Sun is back again! Hooray! All is well, the Sun is back!

Solar Eclipse on Oct 2 in Hasta Nakshatra 

As a Goddess worshipper, Hasta is the Isis nakshatra to me. She is the embodiment (and so much more) of Hasta’s themes: her sovereignty as the Great Virgin, the literary arts, gifts of the palm, magic, and medicine. She encourages us on this eclipse to use these modalities and our own gifts and talents to heal ourselves, and to not neglect the power of our sacred sexuality. Everything we need is contained within us and needs the practicality and meticulousness of Virgo to be made manifest to the outer world. Wear white and shine!!
