Full Moon Ritual for November 4th, 98

Since the Full Moon falls in Taurus and is involved in a T-Square with Uranus (in Aquarius) and Venus/Sun (in Scorpio) conjunction this ritual is designed to help you with those forces.

You may find yourself involved in quite a few power struggles in relationships that are very subtle and controlling and can result in breaking up a relationship. The first matter that needs to be taken care of is too reduce the ego problems with this Full Moon.

Take a piece of rose quartz that is small enough to wear or carry in a small pouch. A gold pouch is best but anything will do. You'll also need a gold and a pink candle. You'll need some peace oil or some sandalwood oil. If you can get a piece of Dumortierite (available from the Cosmic Salamander) it is a good focus stone. It will help you get rid of stubborn attitudes while still standing up for yourself.

The Full Moon is at 12:18 AM EST on November 4th Wednesday. So that is the best time to do the ritual although you can do at 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 1:30 PM, 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM, or 8:30 PM EST.

Take the Gold candle and annoint it with oil saying:

"Lessen the egos,

Help us let go!

Give and Take is Balance,

Eliminate all malice!"

Place the candle on the left side of the altar. Take the Pink candle and annoint it with oil saying:

"Unconditional love is mine,

Unconditional love is thine!

I have power over myself,

You have power over yourself!

Place the pink candle on the right side of the altar. Place the Rose Quartz in between the two candles while saying:

"Stone of love and peace,

I charge thee!

Power of love and peace,

I infuse thee!

Energy of the Moon,

Bring me this boon."

(Optional) Place the Dumortierite next to the Rose Quartz and say:

"Stone of Blue,

This task please do:

Bring me courage,

and take away rage!"

Light the Gold Candle and imagine egos growing smaller. Light the pink candle and imagine love growing stronger. Meditate on peace and love taking over your life. Imagine your confidence growing. When you feel calm enough, Blow out the candles and make this vow:

"Silphs of Air and Salamanders of Fire!

I combine thee and promise thee:

Each day for fortnight (two weeks) I shall compliment on person on something unexpected and personal (hair, a piece of jewelry, clothes, etc) and shall I perform one act of random kindness. (This can not be writing a check to a charity. It must be personal and involve an interaction between you and another person.)

This I vow and I know, that this energy shall return to me ten fold!"

Take the stones and place them where the light of the Full Moon will shine on them. Carry the Rose Quartz with you and each night for 7 days place it in the light of the Full Moon. Leave the Dumortierite in the light of Moon and Sun for seven days and then place it at your front doorsaying:

"Stone of Blue,

Strengthen me,

Tamper me!

Let peace be!"

Each night for as long as the candles last, do your meditation and then take the wax if any is left and bury it where there is abundant plant growth.

This Full Moon is also and excellent time to rid yourself of a controlling relationship.

Take two appropriate image dolls in white or pictures of each of you or of the two of you together. You'll need a seven day white candle and some "Go Away Evil" or "Uncrossing" Oil. You can use Black Pepper Oil. You'll also need some Black Pepper if you have a Peppermill and Pepper Corns that's a real Plus!

This ritual must be done at 12:18 AM EST.

If the only picture you have contains both of you, take a sharp sissor and in one stroke cut the two of you apart saying:

"Instrument of Steel, sever this relationship now. Cut us apart forever!"

Place the white seven day candle in the center of your altar and light it saying:

"Spirits of fire I beseech thee:

Protect me and help me!"

Annoint the image doll representing you or the picture in a clockwise motion with Black Pepper Oil or Uncrossing Oil visualizing this oil covering your body and protecting you. Place it on the right side of the white candle. Annoint the other image doll or picture in a counterclockwise direction with "Go Away Evil Oil" and place it on the left side of the candle. Keep moving the pictures or image dolls (they should have their backs to each other) away from the each other. Meditate on this person leaving your life and wish them no harm. Carry peppercorn or piece of cotton soaked in black pepper with you at all times. Try to eat something with black pepper everyday for seven days. At the end of seven days, bury your picture or doll in place where plant life flourishes. Take the other person's picture or doll and wrap in aluminum foil, shiny side in, packed in salt and throw it in your freezer for three months saying,

"You can harm me no more,

Control me no more!

Your power has weakened.

Your will has frozen!"

At the end of three month, take the package out and toss it in the garbage or bury it where nothing grows (that place is not a graveyard!).

Blessed be!
