Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mystical Energy of the Moon

Product Information

Violet Mary Firth Evans (better known as Dion Fortune), was a British occultist and author. Her pseudonym was inspired by her family motto "Deo, non fortuna" (Latin for "by God, not fate"). I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved Lilith's courage, power and overall presence. What a perfect character! Strong yet gentle, masterful yet patient with her "student." Now that you know what the current lunar phase is, use the guide below to know what type of spells you should be working on this week. It occurs 14 days after the New Moon and it’s easy to identify because the night sky is suddenly glowing all around you. Look up and you’ll find a big pearl shining brightly as it reflects sunlight upon the Earth. It represents the culmination and success of everything you started during the Waxing moon phase. Now everything is in its fullness. During this phase, people are more receptive and social relationships become more favorable.

Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mystical

There are magic cults that belong to specific LGBTQI groups, nowadays, who come together as outsiders or refugees from mainstream religion, seeking enlightenment and empowerment through their own rites and rituals. Throughout history, wise women and men were well aware of the power of the Moon and its changing phases. Spells and rituals timed with these changes are meant to take as much advantage of this energy as possible. Best Spells to Cast on Each Moon As a novel, I felt this book was mediocre. Although there is only one instance of racist language, it did turn me off. However, as a book on how to conduct Golden Dawn style magic, Moon Magic was interesting and informative. The story keeps going over the same ground. Dr Malcolm goes to work where he is gruff and fiery to everyone. Dr Malcolm visits Le Fay and feels better afterwards. Look deep within for the energies and inspirations of your wealth, your wealth of knowledge, understanding, financial wealth. Understand this is a time of renewal and stillness. Dark Moon:This phase starts seven days after the Full Moon and lasts for three days. Let the energy of this moon quietly finish your removal processes and cleanses. Close any pending issues and quietly renew your inner energies. Because this is a very introspective and spiritually charged moon phase, you will want to work on strengthening your Witch Powers.If you are a Beginner Witch, go ahead and cast your first easy spell during this time: Use this time of the waning gibbous moon to transmute those obstacles on your path. Create your freedom to design your reality in the way that you choose

Lilith is a fascinating woman, especially for her time, not only because she lives entirely by her own lights but also because she is an unabashed predator, who willfully emanates a powerful spiritual and sexual magnetism to attract potential acolytes to her, hoping that she may find one to initiate as a priest in her rituals. What the men (Wilfred in the last book, Rupert in this one) expect and what they end up with are very far apart indeed, and one can't help but feel a bit sorry for them, as they inevitably fall in love with her. Their love is useful to Lilith because, as she explains, it makes her stronger as a priestess, thus empowering her magic and, ultimately, benefiting her goddess. To be fair, she does explain to Rupert fully and completely what she can and cannot offer him in their relationship, so that he goes into the depths of it with eyes wide open, which was not quite the case with Wilfred in The Sea Priestess. As the yang energy wanes, the cycle turns more yin. We have the opportunity to become more nurturing, more introspective, healing what is coming up to be healed. At the dark moon, the highest moment of Yin, we have the most access to the power of the dark. This is the power of destruction, it can remove obstacles, clear old habits, and break patterns. Take this time every month to destroy what no longer serves us before we start planting again in the next new moon. The constant cycle gives us opportunities to practice our skills again and again, holding our focus with each phase. Moon Magic Ho precedentemente letto i segreti del Dr. Taverner e The Goat Foot God, resto della mia opinione che lo stile di Dion Fortune sia unico. La scrittura in questo libro è precisa, come sempre figlia dei suoi anni, ma meno ripetitiva di The Goat Food God. Le descrizioni dei rituali sono stupende e suscitano pensieri e immagini molto oniriche. Ci sono dei retaggi culturali che oggi appaiono superati, ma la protagonista è una donna per molti versi attuale, piacevole e completa. Apprezzo come sempre che Dion Fortune e i suoi personaggi passino da momenti intensi e profondi a osservazioni ironiche senza mai risultare fuori registro. From new moons and eclipses to blue moons and the super moon, there are ample opportunities for the moon to influence our emotions and thoughts. Many believe our emotional potency is heightened during a super moon, while a new moon can bring change and new perspectives. Knowing when and how to use that power is key. This particular approach to ceremonial magic, from what I have read so far, takes a traditional approach to gender and sexuality. It relies on the "magnetism" between male and female and assumes a "divine feminine" that belongs to all women and is represented, in Nature, by the Moon and the Sea. Likewise, it assumes a "divine masculine" that is represented by the Sun. These elemental forces can be "drawn down" into the priest and priestess during their ceremonies and used for magical ends. I don't believe any of these things to be true, in a literal sense, but I can see how they might be psychologically potent for some people.The Little Book of Moon Magic: Working with the power of the lunar cycles (The Little Book of Magic) Below we define the 7 Magical Phases of the Moon to work with for Moon Magic. In our book Moon Magic and Transformational Meditation, we use four of the phases of the moon. The combination of Meditation and Moon Magic create a rhythm and focus to our work. If you feel a special connection to the Moon, then you will have an easier time connecting with the rhythms of Nature by following the Moon. Over time, it will harmonize you with your environment and become part of your daily life. Just like the moon has a huge stabilizing effect on Earth’s tilt, the key here is always to keep a healthy balance, knowing when to hold on to your Powers and when to release them to the Universe. Lilith explains her aesthetic and practical choices in some detail in Moon Magic, and also explains why she must remain celibate. There is a kind of cosmic sexual engagement that occurs between priest and priestess during the ceremonial rites; so, the sexual energy between the pair is used for the magic and cannot be used in the normal fashion. Apparently, it is understood in certain occult communities that, "When sex comes in the door, magic goes out the window" (i.e. they become magically impotent). In the rituals Fortune describes in her books, the goddess has thankfully stopped demanding literal sacrifice of men's lives and is content to have their energy and vitality drawn off them during the ceremonies, to use to her own ends. The goddess promises to bless them in exchange for their service, but the blessing will come in her own time and her own way. After these rites, both priest and priestess are left vigorous and revitalised (following a brief period of post-ceremonial exhaustion) much as couples feel after good sex. So their energy that is taken up by the goddess is returned to them manifestly amplified (which is not the case with the blood sacrifices of earlier times, where the reward had to be gained in the afterlife, or not at all). I would love to see some elemental magic spells, since I myself do not prefer to work with deities.

Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mysti… Moon Magic: Your Complete Guide to Harnessing the Mysti…

Moon Magic has helped me to realise and connect in a way that feels right. With easy to follow beautiful Rituals and crafts for each phase of the Moon, this book takes the reader on a journey of discovery and realization of just how much our lives and moods are connected with the phases of the Moon. Harness the power of the magical, mystical, glorious Moon with more than 100 spells, chants, and rituals, along with Esbat celebrations for the Full Moon. As this moon enhances communication with the spiritual world, any kind of ritual that is performed under the Full Moon will experience a boost of Power. Divination rituals are especially strengthened by this moon, like any personal spellwork that could use a major boost, including rituals for abundance, protection, love or wisdom. Your chances of success are greater than during any other lunar phase. Use the power of the full moon to cast any type of spell with confidence. Through the course, we learn how to transmute the energy of anxiety and personal trauma into personal power. We install your energy recycler and teach you how to charge it with energy from each phase of the moon. We then learn to use that energy to manifest our desires and create the life we choose. The book and recordings of the meditations are now available. The Spiritual Meaning of the 7 Magical Phases of the Moon Defined: New Moon: Oh, also Doctor Malcolm - our stalwart yet conflicted supposed-to-be sympathetic everyman - has a fight with anti-vivisectionists who are portrayed as silly and stupid and he’s obviously in the right to perform vivisections. This is incredibly gross and awful. Yeah, I know it was written in the 1940s, I just think it’s funny for something that puffs itself up to such ridiculous degrees about “enlightenment” to turn around and support torturing animals.This is the first phase of the lunar cycle. It starts when the moon is invisible (this state lasts for one day and is also known as a Dark Moon) because it rests between the Sun and the Earth. On the following days, the moon slowly begins to appear in the sky. The energy of the New Moon is associated with introspection, self-analysis and reflection on ourselves. It’s an opportunity for a fresh start and a New You. The Power Wish: Japanese moon astrology and the secrets to finding success, happiness and favour of the universe Dark Moon (often mistakenly taken as a New Moon) is a phase when the Moon is not visible in the sky. New Moon is the first visible crescent. They have slightly different meanings in magic, that’s why I like to treat them separately. There are articles on these topics in the Moon Magic section. As I said in my review for The Sea Priestess, Fortune was a British occultist who lived from 1890-1946. Her writing was foundational for what would become modern Wicca and Neopaganism and influenced fantasy authors as well as spiritualists. For these reasons, I find her an interesting figure and her writing is fascinating on a few different levels. There are in depth chapters that focus on each of the moon phases; waxing, waning, full and new. However it also details how the waxing and waning gibbous moons can be worked with effectively, something I haven't seen in any pagan book that I have read.

In this book, Lilith has acquired a small abandoned church and converted it for her purposes with the help of sympathetic old cabbie who is now her maintenance guy. The church had two secret upper rooms (cause the original owner was apparently a creep) which she turns into her spaces for worship. (With an “astral temple” built above it via her trained imagination.) But Moon Magic is irritating . There are some aspects that I absolutely detest, such as a defense of vivisection (gross.) And I find it a bit hard to swallow all this talk of the main character (obviously an insert for Fortune herself) being a reincarnation of an Atlantean and Ancient Egyptian high priestess and building astral temples above her house… It’s not even that I necessarily disbelieve in the concept of reincarnation, but anytime someone insists they were an amazing and super-powerful being in their past life, that gets a bit eye-roll-inducing for me. Also, Lilith/Vivien/Morgan Le Fay is so ridiculously snobbish about her occult rank. She’s entirely dismissive of even her friends who practice occult workings! She’s downright mean in her thoughts towards them. This book has been a real revelation and a pleasure to read. For the experienced and the beginner a way to attune your magic and your life with the cycles of the Moon. It is time to be cautious and use this lunar phase to rest. You can also use this opportunity to remove yourself from destructive relationships, negative behavior patterns or anything harmful in your life. Overcome melancholy and depression. Some Witches use this moon phase to cast spells for justice or against enemies (i.e. Baneful Magic). Building your power and your knowledge, allowing knowledge to emerge from your unconscious mind and the supra-conscious. Testing yourself by pushing past your self-imposed limitations to evolve at a greater level. Transmuting and transforming your weaknesses, growing relationships with self and others.Put energy behind increasing your finances and using your growing knowledge in new ways. Invoking healing and fertility, working with your lust, desire and love (those things you experience as wild). Developing your psychic, instinctual and dreaming powers guiding them to your spiritual growth. Balancing your intellect with your instincts and passions. Empowering your imagination. Waxing Gibbous Moon: Because Lilith has no emotional needs of other people, she is able to remain aloof and independent and center herself in her own world. She has her own money and, as a priestess, has set herself apart in service to her goddess. All that she requires from people (besides a servant or two) is a particular type of male to complete the spiritual work she wants to carry out, which is meant to serve not only her goddess but, ultimately, humankind. Given such lofty and noble goals, Lilith makes no excuses for being completely ruthless in reaching them, as she sees the ends as being worth the means. This tends to leave her men feeling used (as they should!) but, in fairness, she does leave them with a renewed sense of purpose and an enlightenment that they did not possess when they met her. Also, in this book, the fellow who is drawn to her, outwardly a tremendously successful endocrinologist and neurologist, is quite miserable and lost in his life. As with Wilfred in the first book, Rupert ends up enriched by his relationship with Lilith, even though his hopes for love are dashed. Both Wilfred and Rupert, having proved themselves and declared their devotion to the goddess, are empowered to act as priests in serving her, either with Vivien/Lilith or another priestess. Moon Magic: A Handbook of Lunar Cycles, Lore, and Mystical Energies (Volume 3) (Mystical Handbook, 3) This is the last phase of the Moon cycle. It starts 10 days after the Full Moon and lasts until the New Moon. It’s a moment of closure and reflection, do not use it to make any big decisions or start a new project.
