The Magic of the Blood Moon
A blood moon is one of the most mystical and potent celestial events, occurring when a total lunar eclipse casts a reddish hue on the moon. This eerie red color is caused by Earth’s shadow covering the moon. It is believed to be a time when the veil between worlds thins, allowing for deep personal transformation and the amplification of magical energies, though with this often comes chaos. These are energies that you do not want to absorb, and this moon should be used instead to cleanse your space and rid yourself of negative energies.
Transformation and Shadow Work
At its core, the Blood Moon symbolizes transformation. The Blood Moon marks a powerful time for shadow work, which is the process of confronting and integrating the darker, hidden aspects of ourselves. Under the Blood Moon, these buried aspects of ourselves can surface, creating a unique opportunity for healing and self-awareness.
This phase calls for a letting go of the old to make space for new beginnings. By working with the energies of the Blood Moon, we can harness its transformative power to break free from negative patterns, toxic relationships, or limiting beliefs. Releasing what no longer serves us is key during this time.
Practical Applications of Magic
The blood moon is the perfect time to identify what you can let go of, whether that be old clothes cluttering your closet or pent up feelings about something that happened. Here are some ideas for things you can do during a blood moon
- Declutter your home
- Write down something you want to let go of, perhaps a negative thought or habit, on a small piece of paper. Safely burn the paper, and think about how you are actively releasing yourself of this negativity. Focus your intentions on letting go.
- Complete tasks you’ve started, but never finished.
- Clean your home to start the new lunar cycle in a fresh space.
- Drink Dandelion root tea or chamomile tea
- Avoid starting new projects during a blood moon, wait until it is completed. Use this time to prepare your space and your mind for new beginnings.
