MOON Gemini SUN Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse

Posted on by

This eclipse gate is an opportunity to gather valuable information & understand this information within the context of your life. We can do this by searching the deep dark places & facing the shadows with courage, bringing to them clarity & cutting through all the things that may be holding you back… Sound like fun?? Here is a ceremony that I will be doing at the Witching Hour on Saturday night:

You will need: a candle, a bowl, a jug of Holy water (alternatively spring or river or ocean water will suffice), writing implements

Ceremony: Create your sacred space in whatever way suits you. Hold the empty bowl in your hands & feel it becoming an extension of your body. When you feel connected breath three long slow breathes into it & place it down gently. Hold the jug of water in your hands & open your emotional body to it allowing your heart to pulse through it. When you feel the connection say “Waters of Awakening I call thee” & gently pour the water into the empty bowl. Hold the candle in your hands & allow the Celestial Beings to move through you & into the wax. When you feel the current say  “I reconnect to all that is & honour the source of life itself” & light the candle. As you hold the lit candle, let go of time & thought & inhibitions… feel them oozing off of you & seeping into the ground. When you are present & open & empty, begin to drip the wax onto the water. You will know when to stop, you will feel it, & when you do, place the candle in a holder & gaze into the bowl under the light of the candle. Gently open your mind to receive what lies upon the surface of the water, what lies beneath the surface. As information comes to you write it down without explanation or justification. When you have gathered all that you can, release your sacred space & allow the candle to burn down in a safe place. Pour the water with the wax into a river or the seas or a hole under a tree.

Follow up: About 3-9 hours after you have performed the above ceremony, revisit the information you found & begin to piece it all together.

Scorpion Eclipse Ritual

Shield of Power

To be performed at the time of the eclipse (9:10am AEDT, Wednesday November 13 2012)

You will need 5 candles (preferably 1 white, 1 green, 1 black, 1 pink or purple & 1 orange or yellow; alternatively 5 white candles will suffice) & a scribing tool (preferably your athame)

Gather your items & sit in a quiet room. Focus on your breath. Visualise yourself sitting on a mountain top. You are surrounded by your guides & allies. Look at each of them, see them & know them. Ask all gathered to assist you in finding your protective symbol for this ritual. When you have found it, thank them all & return your awareness to the room. Take your athame in both hands & feel it filled with Spirit. Use it to scribe your protective symbol on each of your candles.

In the Centre of the room light the green candle & say -I am connected to Nature, to all things existing within the Universe.

In the East of your room light the purple or pink candle (if its white you will need to visualise pink or purple light emanating from this candle) & say – I open the gate to creativity, imagination & unconditional love.

In the North of your room light the orange or yellow candle (if its white you will need to visualise orange or yellow light emanating from this candle) & say – I have the strength to transform myself from Victim to Saviour.

In the West of your room light the white candle & say – I repel the snakes & seducers, the toxins & poisons.

In the South of your room light the black candle (if its white you will need to visualise black light emanating from this candle) & say – I surrender to the Fates.

Stand in the Centre & breath in the green light, feel it fill your body & your Aura space.

Stand at the East & breath in the orange/yellow light, feel it fill your body & your Aura space.

Stand at the North & breath in the purple/pink light, feel it fill your body & your Aura space.

Stand at the West & breath in the white light, feel it fill your body & your Aura space.

Stand at the South & breath in the black light, feel it fill your body & your Aura space.

Back in the Centre, stand with your eyes closed & visualise your shield, know what it blocks & what it will let pass through. Hold the image of it in your mind’s eye & commit it to memory & say – I have met the terrain that lays before me & I embrace the blessings that are upon it. I give thanks for this Shield of Power that will see me through in safety & peace. It is done! It always works! Always a blessing!

Snuff out the candles in the order in which they were lit (DO NOT BLOW THEM OUT). They can be used in this same way to enhance your Shield of Power at any time.
