Monday Moons #63 - 20th Jan 2025
Monday Moon's
Drawing Down the Full Moon Energy
Used mainly by Wiccans, but hey, if you like the moons energy then give it a go whatever your belief system.
As with the Sabbats, you have a 3 day window for doing this ritual. The day before - day of - and day after, but the highest energy is always on the day of. It is better to do it outside, but if the weather is terrible you can do it indoors.
There are lots of different versions for this ritual, but you can do this if you have never done it before and need somewhere to start.
Stand with your arms crossed over your chest and your feet together. Face towards the full moon (doesn't matter if its cloudy) and say -
"Goddess of the Moon, You have been known by many names in many lands in many times. You are universal and constant. In the dark of night, You shine down upon us and bathe us in Your light and love. I ask You to honour me by joining with me, and allowing me to feel Your presence within my heart space." (or similar)
Move your feet apart to stabilise you, and raise your arms up and out to form the letter Y.
You do not need to memorise the next bit, it is better to speak it spontaneously from your heart as it is coming direct from the Goddess.
Say something like -
"I am the Mother of all life, the One who watches over all. I am the wind in the sky, the spark in the fire, the seedling in the earth, the water in the river.
I am the vessel from which All Things spring forth. Honour Me from within your heart! Remember that acts of love and pleasure are My rituals, and that there is beauty in all things. Honour Me on this night of the full moon.
I have been with you since the moment you were created, and shall remain with you always because I am the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone, and I live within you."
Feel the power of the Goddess within you, the energy rising and enjoy it. When you are ready to finish the ritual, thank her for joining you before releasing her back to the Universe.
Take a moment to stand and breath deeply, enjoying the feeling of this new energy and the full moon. Lover your arms and make an offering to the Earth. Either leave a crystal outside or put some herbal tea on the garden, bird feed out on the ground, anything that feels like an offering to you.
