Moon Book
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2020 2:38 pm
I like to tackle a project a year (or so) & over a few years I’ve made up personal booklets on my research on each of the elements, just my spells, seasonal rituals, just salt & I’m just sittin’ here musing with my amusing Muse on making a Moon Book. It was prompted when I looked up the moon phase on the day I was born & news of the day. I hadn’t thought of just studying the Moon & 2019 was the 50th anniversary of the first (public) lunar landing.
What you’d need
. Any size notebook, journal, etc.
. Colored gel pens - especially silver, various blues, and black
. Drawing templates with circles and crescents, straight edge; or trace around assorted sized coins
. Any drawing items or rubber stamps associated with the moon ... frogs?
. Sticky notes
. Lotsa researching
You could research different Moon goddesses & gods
. Note their special dates, unique and shared powers, symbols, culture
. Research customs associated with the moon and taboos
Maybe divide the book with sticky notes into sections for each phase
. Phases - waxing crescent, 1st 1/2, waxing gibbous, Full Moon, waning gibbous, 2nd 1/2, waning crescent, New Moon
. Write a ritual & a few spells for each phase
. Note myths and special powers associated with crescent, full & dark moons
. Moon gardening planting & harvesting by phases
. Best phases for household tasks, banishing spirits or pests, attracting desires
. Special effects - lunar eclipses, magical associations & calendar; solar eclipses, magical associations & calendar
. Seasonal visible changes & effects in the Moons appearance at your longitude
. Personal data on zodiac moon phase at birth, and news of the day
What are some more ideas?
. Oh yea, just buy a Moonology book from Llewellyn
