ONCE in a BLUE MOON RITUAL

Once in a Blue Moon Ritual - Saturday, Sept 2nd - Gathering 7:30 - Ritual 8 - By Joe

Postponed from Wednesday, Aug 30, due to Hurricane Idalia.

There's never a fee to attend!

If you have yet to visit Sublime Elm, this is an excellent time to come visit, meet our members, see our circle and of course participate in a Very Special Blue Moon Ritual.

The term Blue Moon can refer to the second full moon in a given month. When people say "once in a blue moon" they are speaking to the rarity of the occurrence of a second moon happening in the same given month.

A blue moon occurs about every two and a half years, making it a perfect time to do special magic and honor the Goddess.

Full moon magic is something that people have been performing throughout history. Each month's moon represents different energies, depending on the time of year and what is happening in nature at the time. A full moon's energy is very potent so many people choose to do powerful monthly magic on that evening. However, there is one extra special full moon; a Blue Moon.

Because Blue Moons happen “once in a blue moon”, it’s a good time to take advantage of their valued energy for doing special magic, ceremony and ritual.

Magick for Specific Goals and Intentions

The energy of the Blue Moon lends itself nicely for setting goals and intentions. The goals and intentions chosen should be ones that are big, important and lofty - not the average goals. Deciding how to focus the Blue Moon energy can be made by choosing the life area or areas that seem the most significant, such as love and happiness, physical health, prosperity, protection and healing.

Celebrating the Blue Moon is something that can only be done about every two and a half years. Taking advantage of its special energy is worth the effort to decide on specific goals, gathering the right tools and then completing the celebration.

Blue Moon wishes to me be sent

Mother Goddess hear my intent

Of wishes, goals, and dreams I desire

Power imbued by the flame of the fire

In two years time I shall see results of my goals be drawn to me

I tuck away now my desires into this jar

Sealed with magick and love so bright

Now be manifested through her loving light

So mote it be
