Edit: fixed the bad transcript of full moons from May to August.
A little witchy calendar to look forward to next year, since this one was a little bit.. cursed.
This lets you know about the full moons, new moons, wheel of the year celebrations and zodiac entrys, I hope you can use this to aid you on your practice.
Hello Everyone! I am here, yet again, to remind you of the full moon!!! (I almost opened this post with “it’s that time of the month again!”…yikes!) Anyway…
April 11th, 2017 is the full Hare Moon. In other traditions/sects it is called the pink moon.
The Hare Moon is a time of both fertility and also a time for self-care and growth. April is known as the time of year when everything is beginning to wake up, plants are beginning to grow, and a sense of beautiful things to come is on the way. It is said that those wishing to get pregnant have the best luck during this Spring season. Think about it…this holiday falls between Ostara and Beltane!
For the rest of, though, the Hare moon is a good time for personal growth. A time to enhance your spiritual and emotional self. Perhaps do a spell for self-esteem or a ritual to get in touch with your inner power.
If you planted seeds during the March full moon // Seed Moon, take a moments to whisper your goals and intentions to your newly sprouted seedlings.
And speaking of scent lockets! We have lightly restocked a bunch of our existing designs, such as Salome, Clockwork, and our beloved Triple-Dagger. These are perfect for enjoying perfume blends that don’t mix well with your skin chemistry: in the locket, they’ll smell just like they do in the bottle!
What if I came to your house at midnight on the Pink Moon evening during quarantine to bring you an herb for a spell you wanted to cast and our hands accidentally brushed when I passed it to you (and we were both girls)
So I just learnt there’s this actual thing called the Super Pink Moon, the moon of spring. But “that’s not a reference to its actual color. NASA notes it’s “a name that comes from the herb moss pink native to the eastern US, and one of the earliest widespread flowers of spring.”
Christopagan drawing down The Pink/Seed Moon Ritual:
Pink/Seed Moon: (April)
Four Elements/Quarters Candles
Gold and Silver Candles
Chalice/Bowl
Drinking-Water
Cakes and Ale
Crystals for charging: Beryl, chrysolite, diamond, garnet, meteorite, peridot, ruby, sapphire, sard, topaz and zircon.
Info: This is the season for planting the seeds that you hope will flourish in the coming season of growth and fertility. Since the whole phase of this particular moon is about growth and new beginnings. On the Full Moon, it is finally time to take all those thoughts and ideas you’ve had simmering on the back burner for the past few months and bring them to life. If you want that new job, to have a child, to bring love into your life, this is the time for new beginnings. The trees are budding, bulbs have sprouted (with some already blooming), birds are busy building their nests, the deadness of winter has passed and a new season of growth is upon us all.
Before you start make sure you have all that you need for the ritual by laying out your crystals, fill up the chalice/bowl with drinking water, place your candles and put out your food on a separate table. Then sage the area to make your sacred space and cast your circle, Invoke the elements, then God and Mary. Once you are done with the invocations turn to your altar and hold your arms open wide looking up to the Moon and chant:
Oh Mother Mary bless (me or us) with this Pink/Seed Moon. I ask you to bring new life, opportunities and self growth for (myself/ourselves). Please assist (me/us) in growing the seeds in (my/our) garden(s) and to also help with the seeds of opportunity (I’ve/we) planted in (my/our) (life/lives).
May they bring prosperity, hope and love into (my/our) (life/lives).
Take this time to reflect upon your goals that you want to achieve this month. Once done, raise up your chalice/bowl and chant:
The moon is the symbol of our holy mother, her purity and wisdom is great and all-knowing, and (I or we) honor her on this holy night.
Until the time when the moon becomes full again, please keep a watchful eye over (me or us) Oh blessed mother. In God and your name, we pray.
Amen
Take a drink from the chalice/bowl now that’s has turned into moon water and share if you have others participating in the ritual.
Thank God and Mary, then release the elements and you’re done! Keep your crystals out for this moon and make sure you remember to take them in the next day.
If you want you can either have a party or just celebrate by yourself; it’s up to you. Have fun and be safe!
