The Days of Power in Pagan Ritual and Celebration
Most Pagans celebrate the Full Moon and observe the changing of the seasons. The year contains 12 or 13 full moons and eight days of powers. This first section will list the 13 Full Moon celebrations, or Esbats, and the best type of magick to perform each full moon.
January - Cold Moon: for spells of protection, strength, and introspection; dream magick
February - Quickening Moon: for spells of renewal and cleansing
March - Storm Moon: for spells of success, and spiritual growth
April - Wind Moon: for spells to start projects, attain magickal goals, and use the powers of the elements
May - Flower Moon: for spells of wisdom, love, good health, and faery magick
June - Strong Sun Moon: for spells of abundance, success, and health
July - Blessing Moon: for spells of healing and divine communication; time to harvest herbs
August - Corn Moon: for spells of abundance and good health; time for formulating spells
September - Harvest Moon: for spells of protection and confidence; time for honing magickal skills and attaining magickal goals
October - Blood Moon: for spells of healing and divination; time for remembering and honoring lost loved ones
November - Mourning Moon: for spells of healing, protection, and hope; time for honoring family and fellowship
December - Long Nights Moon: for spells of change and banishing negativity
The 13th Moon - Blue Moon the second of two full moons to occur in the same calendar month, the month in which it occurs varies: for spells of transformation and rebirth; time when the strength and power of our magickal workings is increased, so care must be taken with the powerful energies [/glow]
