As the celestial dance of the cosmos unfolds, we are on the brink of a powerful eclipse season. This transformative period begins with the upcoming lunar eclipse on September 18th, followed by a solar eclipse on October 2nd, and concludes with another lunar eclipse on October 17th.
If you’re interested in making your own Eclipse Water during this powerful time, you can follow the recipe we’ve included below for a simple guide on how to harness the lunar energy during this season.
In the post by Francisco it says:
“A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon aligns precisely with the Earth and Sun, casting its shadow upon our planet.”
The description and the picture do not seem to match.
I am confused.
Is the Earth casting its shadow on the moon, or is the moon casting its shadow on the Earth?
The Earth is casting its shadow on the moon because the moon has moved behind the Earth. I’ll update the description in the post to make it clearer. Thanks for pointing that out!
The moon casting a shadow on the earth is the solar eclipse, while the earth casting a shadow over the moon is the lunar eclipse. People named the eclipses by what they saw from their own point of view on earth rather than from a position outside the event, looking at the cause. We have grown and learned a lot since then. Still, the old names can be quite confusing. Thus, from our point of view, the sun gets eaten during a solar eclipse, and the moon gets blotted out during a lunar eclipse. It’s all a matter of perspective.
The original post about the lunar eclipse had the moon casting a shadow on the earth but with a correct diagram for a lunar eclipse. The explanation has been corrected.
I was interested because the lunar eclipse will be on my birthday and also on the culmination of my year and a day. I have some big decisions to make!
I went to the bank today, which is too close to the metaphysical shop, so I celebrated my birthday early. I got 5 chip jars, 6 tumbled stones, and this 4 inch cast iron cauldron with the triple goddess symbol!
