Magick of the Solar Eclipse: 8th April 2024

What, When and Why

We are having a solar eclipse on the which falls on the 8th of April 2024.

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon falls between the earth and the sun which casts a shadow over the earth.

This will be a total solar eclipse and occurs when the moon and the sun is exactly aligned with the earth but the moon being smaller than the sun enables the sun to surround the moon as a bright ring.

Please Note: A solar eclipse should ONLY be viewed through solar filters like a pair of solar eclipse glasses for safety reasons, as you don’t want to damage your eyes. PLEASE NEVER look at the sun without adequate protection. For more information on what you need to see the eclipse safely which includes what equipment you need please go here for more information:

This solar eclipse where the Sun forms a ‘ring of fire’ around the Moon will be visible along a path that crosses the USA.

Magick of the Solar Eclipse

Solar eclipse magick is when the energy is amplified due to the moon energies intermingling with the sun energies.  The sun and the moon are in the same star sign and the energies co-mingling this way, emphasis is the energies of that particular sign.  This solar eclipse is in Aries* therefore the energies heightened during this time is the Libra star sign.

The kind of magick you can perform during the solar eclipse:

  • Liminal – magick worked between the darkness and the light.
  • Transition – use the sun and moon moving through this time to highlight or work with important transitions in your life.
  • Transformation – deep within and also that which surrounds us.
  • Change – harness this quick moving energy to bring about purposeful change in your life.
  • Rebirth – moving from one cycle to the other in the form of a death of the old and and bringing in and welcoming of the new.
  • Breaking – down barriers before you which have caused blockages in your life can now be removed.
  • Movement – cleanse the stagnant decayed and no longer necessary and embrace the fresh new and potential within problem areas of your life.
  • Rituals/Spells – in dedication to Gods who embrace this time and can assist you in manifesting the energies of the liminal, transitional, rebirth, movement, breaking away and change such as Hekate.

Sorcery of the Solar Eclipse

*Aries moon is a good time for renewal of energies, transformation and new beginnings.

Since Aries is a fire sign it’s a great time to work with this element.

This is a good time to rebalance with Hekate’s fire and bring in manifestation of courageous endeavours with the confidence she illuminates.

The element of fire resonates with passion and purpose through drive and determination. I feel that fanning the flames of your personal hearth can be used to manifest the magick of this moon in the form of renewed progression or the sparked beginning of a specific task or goal your want to achieve along with career, travel or health objectives you want to materialise.

Fire magic using incense or flame such as candle, lamp or even torch and fire place/pit is ideal for this moon.

Setjataset’s Bay Leaf Spell

Take a bay leaf (dried) and write your name on one side and then your desire on the other and then burn it after reciting these words:

Great Hekate bring your illumination

As I come to you in veneration

I request my desires to be fulfilled

Bless my magick to grow and build

Great Hekate bring me my desire

Manifest my wishes with your fire.”

*Aries is an fire sign which is ruled by Mars. It is a sign which can appear confident, fiery, direct and motivated. It is also quite an outgoing energy and builds community with leadership and passion.

Magick of the Solar Eclipse: 14th/15th October

What, When and Why

We are having a solar eclipse on the new moon which falls on the 14th of October in the Northern Hemisphere and the 15th October in the Southern Hemisphere.

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon falls between the earth and the sun which casts a shadow over the earth. A solar eclipse can only occur during the new moon phase.

An annular eclipse is when the moon and the sun is exactly aligned with the earth but the moon being smaller than the sun enables the sun to surround the moon as a bring ring.

Please Note: A solar eclipse should ONLY be viewed through solar filters like a pair of solar eclipse glasses for safety reasons, as you don’t want to damage your eyes.

*Libra moon is a good time for rebalancing and rejuvenating your life. It’s also an ideal time to bring in new experiences, connections and things which can facilitate this.

Since Libra is an air sign it’s a great time to work with this element.

This is a good time to rebalance with Hekate’s words of power and bring in manifestation of divine justice within and outside of yourself.

The element of air resonates with sacred speech. I feel the chant below would be particularly useful to intone during this time which can be used to manifest the magick of this moon in the form of protection, desire and manifestation of wishes:

“Askei Kataskei Eron Oreon Ior Mega Samnyer Baui Phobantia Semne” (1)

Intone it 3 times after you have made offerings at a crossroads or her shrine or altar.

*Libra is an air sign which is ruled by Venus. It is a sign which can appear intelligent, persuasive, charming, honest and thrives on connectivity. It is also quite outgoing and resonates with attaining balance though peace and justice.

Magick of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse: 20th April 2023

What, When and Why

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon falls between the earth and the sun which casts a shadow over the earth. A solar eclipse can only occur during the new moon phase.

An annular eclipse is when the moon and the sun is exactly aligned with the earth but the moon being smaller than the sun enables the sun to surround the moon as a bring ring.

This is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse which is a rare type of eclipse – a combination of an annular eclipse and a total solar eclipse. This rare solar eclipse is sometimes known as an A-T eclipse and is produced when the moon’s shadow moves across Earth, it starts as one type of eclipse and transitions to another.

This solar eclipse will be visible in Western Australia, Antarctica and SE Asia.

You will be able to view this hybrid eclipse with the ring of fire for a few seconds in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Please Note: A hybrid solar eclipse should ONLY be viewed through solar filters like a pair of solar eclipse glasses for safety reasons, as you don’t want to damage your eyes. PLEASE NEVER look at the sun without adequate protection. For more information on what you need to see the eclipse safely which includes what equipment you need please go here for more information:

Sorcery of the Solar Eclipse

*Aries moon is a good time for beginnings, endings and coupled with the eclipse which is all about revelations this can be a good time to help reveal things which you can tackle with headstrong determination.

Since Aries is a fire sign it’s a great time to work with this element.  Being a sign which embraces the warrior it allows us to tackle obstacles with courage and confidence as we can finally see the truth before us. Great for letting go of old things which no longer serve us and embracing the new possibilities which aid us.

This is a good time to heal with Hekate’s fires of illumination and transformation as she can show us what we path we need to move away from and what doors are open to us for the progression forward. This can be a connection to someone, employment or a personal behaviour which no longer serves us and whilst difficult to let go of makes room for new connections, jobs and choices/habits/ which are stronger and healthier and overall better for you. 

Sacrifice that which no longer is needed and allow the blessings of what will benefit you moreso a place in your life.

The element of fire is creative and it is the element of action just like Hekate.  Fire is at the hearth of the home, a place where Hekate’s shrine is placed.  Fire illuminates and brightens the darkness allowing us to see which way we need to go and Hekate’s role as psychopomp can help us with that.  Here is a ritual I would like to share with you which you can use to honour Hekate in a Hellenic way and which utilises the element of fire:

Hellenic Hekate Fire Ritual
© T. Georgitsis 2015

Purification/Consecration

Wash your hands in some khernips (lustral water) which you have placed in a bowl outside sacred space (where the altar is kept).  

At this point state, “Let all that is profane be gone!

Take barley and throw the offering of cleansing upon the altar and upon the sacred space and say “Hekas hekas este o-bebeloi” (Afar, Afar, O The/Ye Profane),

Procession

Form a formal procession and walk towards the sacred space from the east, carrying the offerings with you 

Present the offerings to Hekate by holding them up in a gesture of oblation and place them on the altar. You do not need to speak to do this but may say a few words as a statement of purpose if you are inspired.

Sprinkle khernips over offerings to purify them with the words “Xerniptosai” (be purified).

Invocation

Light a fire pit, oil lamp, brazier or candle for Hekate.  

Throw or sprinkle incense into the fire.

Read out loud or sing a hymn in Hekate’s name.

Preces (Prayer Proper)

Write a petition to Hekate and read it out loud three times.

Pour a libation of oil, wine or honey’d milk to Hekate upon the ground.

Praxis (Working Proper)

Create the magickal working needed such as divination, healing or blessings of any items.  This can be accompanied with singing, dancing, chanting and more offerings and libations.

Thanks and Closing

Thank Hekate by saying:


Hekate, in your name we gathered, in your name we depart.  Thank you for your eternal illumination and blessings.

Step away from the ritual space by backing away, turning to the right and leaving without looking back.

Ritual is now complete and any feasting can take place.

*Aries is a fire sign which is ruled by Mars. It is a sign which can appear passionate, motivated and direct, yet they are cheerful and make great leaders due to their determination and ability to built community.

blood-moon-eclipse-3572756_1920

What, When and Why of the Lunar Eclipse

We have a lunar eclipse coming up on the 8th November 2022. A solar eclipse always comes two weeks after a solar eclipse which occurred on the 25th October 2022.

A lunar eclipse which is often called a Blood Moon, happens during a full moon when the earth’s placement falls between the sun and the moon – which casts a shadow across the moon. 

This lunar eclipse will be visible in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, North America and parts of South America.  A partial lunar eclipse will be visible from Russia, Central Asia, Iceland and parts of South America.

You will be able to view this lunar eclipse safely with the naked eye.

moon-2146596_1920

Magick of the Lunar Eclipse

Eclipse magick is when the energy is amplified due to the moon energies intermingling.  The Lunar Eclipse energies transition through the new and full moon phases during the eclipse, which enables the moon to cycle through the various stages of the moon and its magick.

This total eclipse is in Taurus* therefore the energies heightened during this time is the Taurus star sign.

The kind of magick you can perform during the lunar eclipse:

  • Liminal – magick worked between the darkness and the light.
  • Cleansing – with relation to body, mind, spirit and emotions.
  • Releasing – energy which is chaotic and destructive.
  • Raising – energy which is grounded through movement.
  • Working – on the shadow self.
  • Manifestation – reveal that which is hidden.
  • Protection – against curses, bad habits, bad relationships and untoward connections.
  • Devotion – to lunar or liminal Gods and Goddess.
  • Intention – mundane and spiritual development which needs illumination.
  • Reduction – magick which can reduce a situation, habit or thing.
  • Banishment – removal of obstacles which have been hindering you.
  • Transformation – of self or situations you are involved in.
  • Veneration – of the blood bound ancestors.
  • Revelation – of what we need to complete or move on from.

Sorcery of the Lunar Eclipse

This Taurus moon will be very empowering and will motivate us to embrace that aspect of ourselves.  It will pull us towards the way we have been drawn towards for a while, however it will feel somewhat unexpected.  This is due to hidden desires being able to be fully felt and acknowledged, connecting us and enabling them to be seen and manifested.  It will also allow us to seise our personal fire found within our souls to deeply explore these desires and make them a reality.

Since Taurus is an earth sign it’s a great time to work with this element.  The perfect magic for this sign is working with something tangible where you can get your hands dirty.  

Below I have outlined a ritual you can perform in any tradition you resonate to, with the guidance of Hekate which works with the energies of this moon:

Hekate Eclipse Magick by Setjataset

Preparation:

Chose a liminal time and place for the ritual to be set, preferably around the time of the eclipse.

Purify body by showering.

Your working space and offering should be placed on a shrine or working altar and should include: a bowl of earth (or sand), black candle, red candle, purified water, salt, a token or offering you have for Hekate, incense and an image/statue of Hekate.

Welcoming and Opening

Open sacred space or the shrine/altar and welcome Hekate by simply calling to her or reciting a hymn, poem, evocation in her name.

Light your incense and waft over sacred space.

Sprinkle purified salted water mixed with salt over sacred space.

Magical Working

Write or carve on a black candle what personal hindrance you want to move on from.

Write or carve on a red candle what personal desire you want to manifest.

If so desired anoint both candles. Use an oil such as Abramelin oil or something simple such as olive oil. You can also use one of the Oils For Hekate from the list I have compiled previously used in her devotion.  If you have no oil, use your own saliva.  Sprinkle a bit of the earth on each of the candles over the oil/saliva to earth them.

Light both candles.

Push the black candle away from you and the red candle towards you and then say:

“Hekate Queen of Earth, Sky and Sea

Assist me to straddle this liminal time

Guide me through the Darkness and into the Light

With the power of the moon I bless and release my intentions” 

Let the candles burn down completely in a safe manner.

Thanks and Closing

Thank Hekate and close sacred space or the shrine/altar.

Ritual is now complete and any grounding work can take place.

Do not speak about your working until it has manifested.

*Taurus is an earth sign which is ruled by Venus. It is a sign which can appear stubborn but is consistent, stable, hard working, loyal, resilient, ambitious,  focused, trustworthy,  full of sensual passion and devotion who loves luxury and comfort.

Solar Eclipse Magick: 25th October 2022

eclipses-434338_1920

What, When and Why of the Solar Eclipse

We have a solar eclipse coming up on the 25th of October 2022. A solar eclipse always comes two weeks before a lunar eclipse which occurs on the 8th of November 2022.

A solar eclipse is when a moon is placed between the earth and sun which casts a shadow over the earth.  This only occurs during the new moon phase. This solar eclipse is a partial solar eclipse which means the moon doesn’t fully block out the sun, therefore only a portion of the sun is obscured and the moon looks like it’s taking a “bite” out of the sun.

This solar eclipse will be partially visible in Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia, East Indies, Middle East, Northern Africa and Europe. For Melbourne, Australia the eclipse begins at 7.58pm, is at its maximum at 10.00pm and ends at around 12.02am.

Please Note: A partial solar eclipse should ONLY be viewed  through solar filters like a pair of solar eclipse glasses for safety reasons, as you don’t want to damage your eyes.

  • Change – harness this quick moving energy to bring about purposeful change in your life.
  • Rebirth – moving from one cycle to the other in the form of a death of the old and and bringing in and welcoming of the new.
  • Breaking – down barriers before you which have caused blockages in your life can now be removed.
  • Movement – cleanse the stagnant decayed and no longer necessary and embrace the fresh new and potential within problem areas of your life.
  • Rituals/Spells – in dedication to Gods who embrace this time and can assist you in manifesting the energies of the liminal, transitional, rebirth, movement, breaking away and change such as Hekate.

Sorcery of the Solar Eclipse

Scorpio moon is a good time to cleanse and reset so I would suggest focusing on releasing what no longer aids you to be able to focus on a fresh start. Work out what you need to let go of to be able to fully embrace a new beginning. This can be anything from unhealthy relationships, situations we find ourselves in, to habits we need to move away from.  It’s time to remove these things to make room for that which benefits us.

Since scorpio is a water sign it’s a great time to work with this element.  The perfect water magic for this sign is the ebb and flow ability of water which is found by the sea, stream or river. As it is a moving body of water – its waters are transformative.  I have created and used the following ebb and flow water magick in practical workshops dedicated to Hekate.  I would suggest this be performed liminally on the shore of a beach/bank of a river.

Ebb and Flow Water Magick

Stand on the shore of a beach or bank of a stream/river and place the container which you will be using to collect the living water on your right. Pick up a handful of sand or a stone from the shore/bank and place it on your left.

Evoke a Deity which resonates with this time of sorcery and leave an appropriate offering (I would suggest Hekate Einalia if you are working on a beach and using sea water).

Look out before you to into the ocean/stream/river and repeat the following blessing:

“I come to you during this time of transformation

To take of your waters for self consecration

Like the powerful energies of your ebb and flow

I ask you to remove obstacles to allow me to flourish and grow.”

Pick up the sand/stone with your left hand and pick up the container with your right hand and walk down to the water’s edge. Focus on your left hand with the sand/stone and think upon what you want to let go of in your life and then throw it in the water.  Now focus on your right hand with the container and think upon what you want to bring into your life and collect some water in it .  Take the water home and either place it into a bath you have run, ensuring you submerge you head or pour it over your head in the shower to receive the blessings of renewal.

*Scorpio is water sign which is ruled by Mars. It is a sign which can appear intense and introspective yet emanates authenticity, loyalty, intelligence, creativity and passion whilst embracing fearlessness and boldness.

Hekate Magick: Micro Moon & Partial Lunar Eclipse

The Magick of this Moon

The Full Moon which is also a Micro Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse this month is happening on Friday the 19th, 7.53pm EST.

Partial Lunar Eclipse is when the the earth moves between the moon and the sun however the moon moves through the outer part of the earth’s shadow which prevents the sunlight from reaching the moon.  In this way, the sun earth and moon do not form a straight line enabling a full eclipse but a partial eclipse due to the angle the planets are placed.

Micromoon is a New or a Full moon which coincides with the apogee – the point in the moon’s orbit farthest away from the earth.  This means the moon appears smaller than usual from the perspective from earth.

There are various types of magick you can perform during this coming moon:

  • Liminal – magick worked between the darkness and the light.
  • Cleansing – with relation to body, mind, spirit and emotions.
  • Releasing – energy which is chaotic and destructive.
  • Raising – energy which is grounded through movement.
  • Working – on the shadow self.
  • Manifestation – reveal that which is hidden.
  • Protection – against curses, bad habits, bad relationships and untoward connections.
  • Devotion – to lunar or liminal Gods and Goddess.
  • Intention – mundane and spiritual development which needs illumination.
  • Reduction – magick which can reduce a situation, habit or thing.

This moon will be the last eclipse of the year and it will be time of headstrong change and intense transitional movement.  However since the full moon is in Taurus and Taurus is about stability, you may feel unmoored or unhinged energetically due to the opposite polarities.  Therefore go with the flow and don’t resist the change as your plans or efforts might be interrupted but just push through and work around them and things should work out.  

Below I have outlined a ritual you can perform in any tradition you resonate to, with the guidance of Hekate which works with the energies of this moon:
