When you look into the night sky you will see that there is a beauty when it comes to timing and to things around you. There are different phases of the moon that can be seen, and it is amazing to see the different moon cycles. For those that are able to look at the moon and see the phases, it can be a time of trying something new in life or a time to meditate or to do rituals to get the things that you desire in life.
A blood moon is something that happens that is special. It is sometimes called a total lunar eclipse and is something that you should try to see at least once in your life.
What is a Blood Moon Eclipse?
A blood moon eclipse is the same as a total lunar eclipse. It is a rare thing that happens, and it happens when the sun shines right on the earth and it is passing through the atmosphere which sends the light to the moon. It makes the moon look red when the eclipse happens. This can happen during a full or a partial eclipse.
When Do Blood Moons Happen?
There are different blood moons that happen throughout the years, and it is something that is an umbral shadow of the earth. When it goes into a total eclipse, it can be seen in North and South America, Africa, Europe, and the East Pacific. Fred Espenak, who is a scientist, says that when this happens during a supermoon it can be even more powerful. A supermoon happens when the moon is closest to the earth.
There are three times each year that a blood moon can happen and so if you haven’t seen one yet, keep your eyes out for one to come.
Rituals of a Blood Moon
An eclipse can be something that is beautiful to see but it is also a beautiful thing for your life. It can change how you see yourself and the world around you. A blood moon can help to put your emotions in check, and it is a time to face your shadow self. If there is something that you have been holding on to. This can also be a time that you let go of things that no longer serve you.
You can use the power and energies of the blood moon while you do a ritual. Make sure that you are grounded and that you let go of things before you begin your ritual. To do a ritual like this, here are some things that you need:
- Incense, sage, or Palo Santo.
- White candle.
- Black candle.
- Lighter.
You can start by going outside and sitting under the moon. Use the incense, sage, or Palo Santo to smudge the area that you are sitting in. Light the black candle and release any negative energies that you have by saying, “When I light this candle, help me get rid of beliefs that are limiting me. I will light this candle to see my shadow self. I light the candle to accept the things in my past so I can move on gracefully.”
Take time to meditate and to be comfortable while you focus on your deep breathing. If you are feeling stress or anxiety, notice it and then try to relax until you are at total peace. Then, imagine a white light filling your area and protecting your space. Open your eyes and light your white candle. Then say, “I will use this candle to let light shine into my life. I want joy and love to come to me and I want to see good things.”
Closing the Ritual
You can meditate as long as you want, and you can leave the candles burning as long as you don’t leave them alone and you are in a safe space. Let the candles burn until they burn out so that you can manifest what you need while doing the ritual.
If there are things that you want to change in your life, you can use whatever color candle that you need because candle magic can help you to focus more on things you need.
