Good Morning Witches!!! Are you excited yet for this Friday! I know I am, I
am practically vibrating! I know some people report issues with Friday the 13
th
(and Goddess bless our nurses and first responders because this might not be a
good night for them), but I have always had the very best of luck on Friday the
13
th and then to partner it with the full Harvest Moon is just a
dream to me! I started sharing ideas I found on my page and had a lovely lady
ask if I had any simple spell ideas for the full moon. Her question got my
brain working into overdrive and I came up with a small handful of ideas. I
hope everyone gets the most out of this full moon so I am sharing my ideas here
for anybody that is looking for inspiration and are running low on time. As
always I try and keep my workings super simple since I am a rather simple
creature at heart. So cast away my Witchy brothers and sisters!!! And thank you
to the lovely lady on my page for starting my brain on this creative track! It
was fun and I appreciate the inspiration you brought me!
Ok so the first one I take absolutely no credit for, it’s from a Facebook
page Luna and the Moon. In this you take 13 pennies, chant over them the
following verse:
“Today
I cast for money luck, As it is lucky, it will work today,
With
these Pennies, I display, The money is on its way.
The
13th is lucky, on the Witches day.
These
13 pennies, will bring it my way.
This
will harm non in anyway,
As
it is lucky, if done on this day”.
Once the chant is said burry the pennies. Remember that in magic the intent
is everything. You can have all the right ingredients and if your heart isn’t
it in the spell will fall flat on its ass. So if you don’t have pennies because
the Canadian Government phased them out ages ago, go with what you have. If you
have dimes use them, nickels use them, quarters great! If you have currency
from another country go ahead and use that. Mixed denominations, go for it!
What really matters is the intent behind the spell!
A fun twist on this spell you could do could help not only yourself but 12 others!
Charge slightly larger denomination coins such as loonies and toonies. Take the
coins and stand under the light of the full moon. Hold them in your hands so
that each coin absorbs the moonlight and chant something like:
“Money
Flows
Income
Grows
Blessings
for me
Blessings
for thee
Lucky
Friday 13
Bring
us money
With
Harm to None
My
charm is done”
Repeat the chant as often as you feel (or make up one that suits your
personal style better). As you hold them visualize anybody who touches that
coin being showered with abundance (including you!). Then the next morning give
away 12 of them, either to friends or perhaps in charity drop boxes. You can
even use pennies for this and give them as gifts to friends whenever they need
some luck in their lives.
If you are working to improve yourself a super simple idea is to take out a
pen and paper, if you want you can fancy this up with glittery paper, stickers
and coloured pens. Once you have picked out your paper and pen think of
thirteen things that you are working on improving in your life and write out 13
affirmations for those areas that you want to improve on. For example “I love
healthy food and feed my body the fuel it needs” “I am excellent with money and
love to add to my savings” “I love, I am loved”. My favourite author for
affirmations is Louise Hay and her affirmations always seem to be direct and to
the point (You can find some of them here if you are stuck looking for an affirmation:
https://www.louisehay.com/101-best-louise-hay-positive-affirmations/
).
Once you have selected your affirmations write them out nicely on your
chosen paper. Take it outside under the light of the full moon, read each one
to yourself and focus on the outcome of the affirmation. How will you feel with
this affirmation coming true? Healthier, stronger, happier? Focus on each one
for a moment then read the list aloud to the moon. Take your list inside and
put it somewhere you will see if often. Try to say each affirmation at least 13
times a day. On the next full moon you can either keep the list and keep
working on it or burn it and scatter the ashes to the wind.
One of the main themes of fall is releasing, letting go of the old so that
we can rest and then begin anew. If there are some things in your life you want
to let go of, such as bad habits or even people, you can do a short ritual to
release them. Go to your nearest tree that is losing its leaves. Gently take 13
leaves that are ready to fall (or pick up 13 leaves off the ground). Take those
leaves and using a marker write on each leaf 1 thing you are looking to
release, be specific (like I release my addiction to double chocolate brownie
ice cream). If the leaves are small just write one or two words that represent
the thing you are releasing. Under the light of the full moon go to a
crossroads (where two roads intersect). Stand as close to the center as you safely
can and take each leaf one at a time. States something like “under the light of
the blessed moon, I release the old to welcome the new” and then read each
leaf. Then let the leaf fall to the ground and state “I release you”. Once all
13 are gone walk away and don’t look back. When you get home, if you wish,
write down 13 things that will replace the 13 things that you have released.
And don’t overlook some of the simplest magic you can do under the moon.
Make a batch of moon water charged under the full moon, then you can anoint
anything you wish with this magical night’s power. Just
fill up a jar with water, take the jar outside and make sure it is under
the light of the moon. Hold it in your hands for a moment and thing of the
moonlight charging the water, filling the water with its power and magic. Then
leave the water out for like an hour. Bring it back inside, keep it somewhere
handy and then you can use a few drops here and there. If you are a bit of a
candle junkie like me and have 13 tea lights handy take them outside under the
moon light. Let them soak up the moonlight and fill them with your intent that
they are blessed and lucky. You can keep them for a special occasion or gift
them to friends!
This full moon would also be a great day to make
up or empower good luck charms. If you have handy a family good luck charm,
like say a horseshoe take it under the moon and state what luck you wish it to
bring to you. If you don’t have a family luck charm you could easily empower
your favorite necklace or ring to bring you good fortune. Another things you
could do is make up a good luck sachet or talisman for your home. Herbs such as
Rosemary, Lavender, Cinnamon, Basil, Clove, Chamomile, Mint, Thyme and Ginger
are all known to bring luck, good fortune and peace into your life and most can
be found by raiding the spice rack! A lot of grocery stores also sell the
plants for these so if you want you could pick one or two to purchase, bless it
on the full moon and then let it grow!
If you just want to soak up the energy why not
take a page from a friend of mine. She is going to curl up in a blanket, lay
under the light of the full moon and have a good meditation session! You could
also read some poetry or moon lore. A good one for the full moon would be something
like the Charge of the Goddess. You could perform a Drawing Down of the Moon to
soak up this amazing energy and reconnect with the Goddess. Grounding and
centering would also be a powerful exercise to do on this night! Bring
out all your gemstones, ritual tools and statues, give them all a good clean
and then set them under the full moon to recharge!
Whatever you decide to do this full moon I hope
you take the time to soak up the energy and dream of a bright future!
