Full Moon in Aquarius
Wort Moon
Saturday, August 16, 2008
Special Notes: Moon in AQUARIUS is the best time for spells involving science, freedom, friendship, breaking bad habits or addictions; healing of the calves, ankles, blood. Plan a ritual to preserve what you already have. This New Moon in Aquarius also begins the Chinese Year of the Dog. Like Aquarians, dogs are the most humanitarian of the signs. Dogs are both idealistic and imaginative. Compassionate companions, they are loyal, honest, and brave. Since the Chinese New Year is a time for new beginnings and sets the tone for the year ahead, embrace the Year of the Dog by sharing a New Year's treat of moon cakes with friends.
While traditional cakes are embossed with intricate designs, the following recipe is a fun and easy substitute.
Easy Moon Cakes
1/2 cup salted butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup jam or red bean paste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Stir together the butter, sugar, and one of the egg yolks. Mix in the flour, and form the dough into a large ball. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for half an hour. Beat the second egg yolk in a bowl, and set it aside. Unwrap the chilled dough and form it into small balls. Make a hole with your thumb in the center of each ball. With a teaspoon, fill each ball with a small amount of jam and close it shut again. Dip each ball into the beaten yolk and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for twenty minutes or until edges are slightly brown.

Entering the Circle
Welcome to this sacred place. We shall establish the Sacred Center
With the powers of air and earth, I cleanse you this day…blessed be.
Cast the Circle
Tonight we will be giving honor to the Goddess for the wonderful presence she has made in our lives. After I call her to fill me with her presence, you will have some time to speak to her. You can praise her, thank her, ask her questions, etc. As I haven't done this before, I don't know how long I can hold her presence, but I want everyone to have an opportunity to feel her presence and speak to her. After speaking to her we will let her part from me, move into spell work, partake in the cake & milk ceremony, depart the spirits and close the circle.
Pass the wand to Jerry. Taking your magical wand in your power hand and starting in the east, visualize a powerful, protective silver-blue flame shooting form the tip of the ritual blade. Aim it at the floor. Move clockwise from the east, drawing the magical boundary. Remember to overlap the ends in the east when you finish. While you are drawing the circle, say:
"I draw this magick circle let no evil or ill will cross its mark."
Move back to the altar, facing east. Raise your dagger or wand in greeting and say:
This is a time that is not a time,
in a place that is not a place,
on a day that is not a day.
We stand at the threshold between the worlds,
Before the veil of the Mysteries.
May the Ancient Ones help and protect
us on our magickal journey.
And the circle repeats the last line "May the ancient Ones help and protect us on our magickal journey."
Set the water bowl on the pentacle disk. Hold your dagger over it and say:
Great Mother, bless this Water to your service.
Hold your dagger over the salt, say:
Great Mother, bless this Earth to your service.
Sprinkle a little salt into the water, and then hold the chalice up high. Say:
Great Mother, I give you honor!
Pass the bowl to Jerry. Beginning in the east and moving clockwise, sprinkle the water-salt mixture lightly around the edges of the circle while saying:
May we wash away all Earthly cares."
Replace the chalice on the altar.
Hold your dagger over the lighted incense burner, saying:
Great Father, bless this Fire to your service
Hold your dagger over the incense, saying:
Great Father, bless this Air to your service
Put a little incense on in the burner. Touch the burner briefly to the pentacle, then raise the burner high, saying:
Great Father, I give you honor!
Pass the incense burner to Jerry. Carry the burner around the circle clockwise, beginning in the east saying:
May our Spirits rise within us.
Return it to the altar.
Go to the eastern quarter of the circle. Light the yellow candle and say:
Hail guardians of the East, element of air. I call you forth to witness this rite and protect this sacred space. So Mote It Be.
In the southern quarter, light the red candle and say:
Hail guardians of the south, element of fire, I call you forth to witness this rite and protect this sacred space. So mote it be.
Move to the west; light the blue candle and say:
Hail guardians of the west, element of water, I call you forth to witness this rite and protect this sacred space. So mote it be.
End by going to the north; light the green candle and say:
Hail guardians of the north, element of earth, I call you forth to witness this rite and protect this sacred space. So mote it be.
Move back to the central altar, and stand facing east. Raise your arms in greeting, say:
"This circle is bound,
with power all around.
Between the worlds, we stand
With protection at hand."
Light the red candle to your right, saying:
"We call to the God. Spark of the Spirit Eternal, Lord of the Wild Hunt, Judge of Gods and Men. Shining God of the Sun's rays, who walks with us through all our days, into our circle, We call upon you, to bless and guide all that we do. Hail and welcome."
Light the white candle to your left, saying:
"See us lady. We are your children. At this, the appointed hour, we stand before you and reach out with our whole heart to the full moon. Hear our words as they rise among the stars and at night, when our body lies resting, whisper to our spirit. Teach us secrets yet revealed. Fill us with your wisdom. Enfold us in your power. Keeper of the mysteries of the moon, hear these words and recall the ancient promise that all who seek your presence shall find your blessings. At this, the appointed hour, we stand before you and reach out with our whole hearts to the full moon. We are your child. See us." We call upon you, to bless and guide all that we do. Hail and welcome.
Full Moon Ritual
The charge of the Goddess is read tonight at the beginning of this ritual to reflect upon what she has given us. You can take this time to ground, center, and meditate to prepare for the ritual.
Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old, called amongst men, Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionhod, Bride, and by many other names.
At mine altar, the youths of Lacedaemon in Sparta
There shall ye assemble, who are feign to learn all sorceries who have not as yet won my deepest secrets. To these will I teach that which is as yet unknown. And ye shall be free from all slavery and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall sing, feast, and make music, all in my presence. For mine is the ecstasy of the Spirit and mine is also joy on earth. For my law is love unto all beings.
Keep pure your highest ideals, strive ever towards them. Let none stop you or turn you aside. For mine is the secret that opens upon the door of youth and mine is the cup of the wine of life and the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the holy grail of immortality. I am the gracious goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man upon earth. I give the knowledge of the Spirit eternal, and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught or sacrifice, for behold I am the mother of all things, and my love is poured out upon the earth.
I, who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon amongst the stars and the mystery of the waters and the desire of the heart of man; I call unto your soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the soul of nature who gives life to the universe; from me all things proceed and unto me all things must return. You, beloved of the Gods and man, whose innermost divine self shall be enfolded in the raptures of the Infinite, let my worship be in the heart. Rejoice, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who thinks to seek me, know that your seeking and yearning doesn't benefit you, unless you know the mystery. That if that which you seek you don't find within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold! I have been with thee from the beginning and I am that which is attained at the end of desire!
Stand before the altar facing North and say:
This is the time of the full moon, a time of great power for positive manifestation, a time of increasing and gaining. The tide of Moon-power is strong. I am of the Goddess. I stand before you at your altar, in love and adoration. Be with me Goddess. Let me feel your presence here tonight."
Go to the east with the bell. Ring it once and say:
"Hail Selene. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my mind."
Go to the South. Ring the bell once and say:
"Hail Cerridwen. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my spirit."
Go to the West. Ring the bell once and say:
"Hail Athene. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence within my emotions."
Go back to the North. Ring the bell once and say:
"Hail Aphrodite. Help me feel the Lady's power and presence in my body."
You will probably have an amazing wave of feelings come over you. Let them sink into your body and soul. When you are ready, return the bell to the altar, turn to the North, and raise your arms high above your head.
Say:
"Hail Goddess! Moon Mother, Lady of Light, Mistress of Magick and Animals. You are the white light of the Moon upon the Earth, the brilliant rays of sun upon life. You are the beginning and ending, the One who creates and takes away. Within You, I see myself and all woman. In this time, You come to me and fill me with your presence."
Communicate with Her now.
Now is the time to speak to her. If you have a request, concern, thought, praise, anything, now is the time to speak to her.

"The Goddess reigns supreme. She is clothed with the sun,
the moon beneath her feet. She holds in her arms the strength of the
universe. She cannot be dethroned. She is joy, truth, order and hope.
None can depose her. She is the beginning and the end of all things. The
God is our protector and our champion, and lends his power to her. The
floods of discontent have lifted up against Jerry & I, threatening to engulf us.
The waves are the many voices of our enemies. The Lord and Lady are
mightier than the many waves of our enemies' sea. Our testimony and those
who testify for us will be sure, strong, and winning. In the names of
the Lord and Lady, victory shall be ours!"

Fight against them that wish to harm us, or who speak out against us.
Take hold of your shield and sword, my Lady and Lord, and stand up for us.
Draw out the spear and stop the way against those that persecute us.
Let them be confounded and shamed that seek to hurt us.
Let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise our pain.
Let them be as chaff before the wind; and let their Karma chase them.
My Lady, Great Goddess of the angels, send your messengers on the wild hunt,
seeking them out, bringing their actions to rest in their own arms.
Send them to the pit they, themselves, have dug. Let their karmic destruction come upon
them at unawares and let his/her words catch them and snare them in their own deceit.
Rescue us, my Lord and Lady from this adversity. Let not our enemies rejoice over us.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice over our hurt;
let them be clothed with shame and dishonor, and may it be magnified against them.
Rise up now, great Lord and Lady, and deliver justice in our favor! So mote it be."
• Clap your hands to seal the spell. Allow all candles to burn completely.
• Note: If you have a sword among your magical tools, then hold the sword above your head as you intone the words to the spell. This spell will not work if you are guilty.
