Iām going to be doing the Worm Moon ritual and journaling from the site, it looks good and I should have everything I need. But I also wanted to share this picture. I got a tapestry for my living room off Amazon for twelve bucks! It makes me feel better because I canāt see the Moon from my apartment.
I love it! Iām wearing my moon phases tank top today too! We were getting things ready in the greenhouse today.

We have all kinds of things from herbs to veggies to flowers in there!
Oh am I ready for this One
I love those planters at the bottom! Those long ones! I just love the look of new soilā lol
Charging moon water~
Kasie, love the tapestry.
Jeannie, so many charms! Iād use The Divine Feminine.
Tamera, same here. The full moon wonāt even be up during that time. The app on my phone says tomorrow is a better day to celebrate the full moon but it also says tonight is the start of the full moon phase.
mrs, thank you for your full moon in Libra post. As I said to Tamera, for me it makes more sense to celebrate tomorrow. I think I will split the difference and light my silver candle after midnight.
Krissie, today is the perfect day to work on the greenhouse. I would love one of those in my backyard.
Krista, I canāt wait to see the recipe and pictures! (As I am typing this, you posted the first one. Thank you!)
Marissa, My selenite is one of the only crystals out for the full moon. Thank you.
Stephanie, you can make moon water even when itās cloudy out. It is all about intent.
Nadine, that is a great idea for the weekend.
I took my son to one of the local shops. He had never seen this one, although the rest of my family has. He enjoyed it so much. Thanks to that trip, I have 261 candles across 14 colors. (The one is the silver candle.)
Even though my wife doesnāt believe anything related to my practice, she recently became a fan of @MeganBās work on YouTube. She also surprised me today with this:
Candle magic tonight. Canāt wait!
I love to read about your plans and preparations for the full moon, itās something we can all see with our own eyes no matter where in the world we are!
The moon water picture is from yesterday, the moon was so bright and visible! Tonight I also caught a glimpse of her but right now the sky is cloudyā¦ Iām in bed writing this but in the living room, on the same windowsill thereās a jar of moon oil in the making! Iām using safflower seed oil, which is a very light oil (not sticky at all) and absorbs into the skin easily. Also I just learned that the safflower plant has often been used as a substitute for saffron. So through Hekate and her saffron colored robes, thereās a moon connection too!
Your greenhouse is lovely! Iāve never seen one like that!
Thank you, kind sir! It really makes the room I think. Love your wifeās present to you! Thatās just lovely!
Krissie,
I put all my crystals in this box so that way I could put it outside tomorrow for the full moon however Iām thinking theyāre going to get ruined in the box and get scratched and now Iām worried about that.
Jeannie
Kasie,
I love your Tapestry, I was just thinking about getting some thing with the moon phases as well! Good pick!
Jeannie
Krissie,
I love your Greenhouse, you are a inspiration!
Praecog29
You are blessed! I could imagine how much light you have across the room with all those candles!
Tamera
I was just cleaning up the house trying to prepare for tomorrowās ritual and meditation too! Allās I have to do is get my alter set up! This will be fun!
KristaMoon,
Thanks For making the connection with Hecate and I didnāt know that she like the sunflower seed oil very good to know! Iāll try to give you some of my information too like that!
Jeannie
@Jeannie1 I had to check, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) are close relatives even if they arenāt the same flower! The namer of the former must have been a lover of puns. Both of them produce two kinds of oil, one thatās good for the skin (containing more linoleic acid) and one thatās better suited for cooking (containing more oleic acid). Iād like to do a separate topic about carrier oils at some point. Usually theyāre not given very much attention when it comes to correspondences? More like āuse whatās availableā Iād guess. Either way I know Hekate is very pleased with those who take time to learn about herbal lore especially
(Sorry if I sound like an insufferable know-it-all without feelings sometimes, I tend to be like this when I donāt know people very well yet and I know it doesnāt helpā¦)
I was excited to take part in this challenge because it gave me the motivation I needed to do my first full-on Full Moon ritual. Up until this point, Iāve been super nervous for some unknown reason. I guess it was just my typical anxiety around new situations that was getting the better me I feel that the Worm Moon ritual went really well, and I will definitely be making much more of an effort to do more rituals moving forward!
I didnāt do the journaling prompts, but I did use them to set my intention for my goals moving forward from this full Moon to the next. My intention was to plant the seed of not caring so much about what other people think about me. Up until this point, I have been someone who lives his life in a way that puts more emphasis on the needs of others before himself. My intention moving forward between this full Moon and the next is to experiment with saying ānoā and to learn to prioritize myself, even if just a little. I also want to plant the seed of not caring so much about what other people think of me.
I also didnāt do the suggested pentagram tarot spread.
After dinner the day I decided to do the ritual, I had two fortune cookies whose fortunes I feel like were good messages to go along with my goal of learning to live for myself. The first one said āIf you wait too long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by.ā The other said āHave a vision. Be demanding.ā I used these fortunes as motivational statements to begin shifting my mental and physical energies to take more care of myself.
I began by casting a circle. Next, I charged my green seven-day candle with energies of growth, potential, and my Will to flourish and be successful in whatever goals I set at any given time. I chose to use a seven-day candle because I figured I could use it moving forward when I want to release my Will as described above out into the universe. (Plus, I didnāt have any smaller green candlesā¦ )
This was also my first time using a crystal grid. I found five stones on my driveway that I felt represented the different Elements. I put the crystal grid on label paper and stuck it in my Book of Shadows/grimoire. I set a piece of Chrysocolla (which is supposedly helpful in meditation) in the center with the intention of charging it with the Elements for when I meditate with it.
My favorite part of my experience with my first full moon ritual was that right before I started it, coyotes started howling and yipping. As soon as I snuffed out the candle, they started howling and yipping again ā I found that to be a truly magical experience!
Thank you! I got it off Amazon so you might be able to pick it too!
Thanks, @Rowan! I was originally going to get a picture but it was like, sixty bucks. Iām glad I got this instead!
Sounds like you did a great job @Jewitch! The suggestions are just that, suggestions. When you do something like that for yourself, you make it special and unique to only you! Glad you got up the courage to do it!
Iād like to point out something I think is quite important but it may be a thought anomaly~if youāre not āfeelingā it on the nite of whichever moon (for example toniteās worm moon) you donāt HAVE to perform your spellsā¦ you donāt want to bring your low juju to the party as itāll inevitably infuse said spells with unintended emotions. Which can be quite confusing to the universe as it likes specificity. So if your head or heart arenāt meeting up save it for when you ARE feeling āitā and call in the power of the full moon and her glory. Call in the goddess of the said moons or however you see her and so mote it shall be
Also on that note Iām doing a hair growing spell working with the God Anubis (Anpu) where Iāll require a few strands of my hair and five rose petals and then under the power of the full moon tonite Iāll invoke his spirit and beg for his blessings and help in making my hair grow long. Iāll light a white dressed candle, recite a prayer and then release the hair and rose petals to the winds. Iāll be using a small birthday candle so I can be sure to let ir go out on itās own! Super excited!
Crystals are soaking in the Worm Moonās energy. Getting ready to complete the Worm Moon Ritual!! I got everything printed out!! I am new here and I am excited to get a chance to know everyone!
So Beautiful Hearther28
I like the way it looks very natural in the outdoors. I have done that before and had a wonderful experience with the energies outside. There is so many different things going on outside! I hope you have have a happy (worm moon spell) moonshine tonight!
Jeannie
