Magickal M n of Octob - 2nd Octob
The first full moon of October
“Full Harvest Moon”
The Harvest Moon is different from the other full moons of the year as this moon name corresponds with when the Autumn Equinox falls.
The full Moon that occurs nearest to the
equinox being the one to take on the name
“Harvest Moon.” The Harvest Moon does
typically occur in September, taking the place of the Full Corn Moon. However, it occasionally lands in October instead, replacing the Full Hunter’s Moon.
This time of year is always based around harvesting and celebrating gratitude for what our great mother earth has given us from the seeds we sown earlier in the year. Our ancestors would have been cutting the corn and harvesting the crops to store ready for the brutal cold that was on it’s way within the winter months of old. We still do this today but we don’t rely on our own countries' crops, fortunately we have other countries we buy from to bring food to our country so we don’t have to store so much to get by. But we still pay homage to this time of year and what our ancestors went through and be grateful for what we have within our culture today.
As we enter our new season of Autumn we need to release what is no longer serving us to welcome in the new when spring arrives, however start to release only when the full moon has started to wane as this is the prime energy of the moon to use.
Simple Releasing Ritual (you can do this any waning moon) You will need:
Pen & Paper - Fireproof Container & a Candle
Step-By-Step
Light your candle.
• Ground and Centre Yourself - meditation, deep breathing, chanting or simply
grounding.
• Write down on pieces of paper what you wish to release from your life, be it
negative feelings your experiencing, bad experiences from you life, bad habits etc. Spend a while visualising these things leaving you, picture your life without them. Focus as if they have already happened and you feel much lighter because of it. Do as many slips of paper as you wish.
• Fold the paper away from you (this sends out more intention of the written message to leave)
• Now simply light the paper from your candle and drop it into the fireproof container and watch the flame cleanse and transform each piece of paper into smoke, releasing the intention of releasing energy into the air and upto the universe.
• Once you have finished it is a good idea to cleanse yourself as well to neutralise any stagnant energy remaining in your aura. 12
