Dark Moon in Virgo (Blood Moon Cycle)
I celebrated the Dark Moon on my own. This time I celebrated on my own since unfortunately two of the moon circle now live down on the Isle of Man. I miss them, and it's gone back to just me and P, but P wasn't feeling too well.
I decided to celebrate entirely using my mind and energy so I left all my candles and incense in their drawers. I visualised casting the circle with a sword, then asperged with water, incense and then the flame. I opened the North, East, South, West, the Underworld, the Heavens and finally the centre. I called on Isis and Nephthys and then called Anubis and Horus.
I focused on what the Blood Moon means, a time of letting go, of weighing up what I need and what I don't, and of the rubbish in my life what to do to release. I decided I liked my confidence and respect at work but I needed to get rid of my anger. I focused on visulaising my anger and burying it in the earth.
I then thought that as it's a time when people would be beginning to gather together for the winter that I should get to see my family more.
I sat in silence for a while, letting my mind pick up what it needed. I then closed down my circle and went to check on P.
I enjoy doing rituals that involve my visualisation rather than actual items, it always focuses me, sometimes I get distracted by the real thing, after all the real thing is a representation of the spiritual world so it's better to use visualisation. It's often quicker too.
