“A giant is rising,
It’s shadow is tall.
A rebirth is needed,
Answer the call.
Let go of emotion,
Phoenix take flight.
You’re sure of your heading,
You’re sure of your light.
Hold onto your vision,
Let it not leave your sight.
Hold onto your courage,
Through darkness of night.
Nothing will come,
If the shadow should fall.
Trust something higher,
Trust natures call.
The past, it is over,
The future has won.
Though battle is over,
The war’s never done.
Come together in healing,
Bring the whole of your truth.
Being authentic,
Is the fountain of youth.
The endgame is upon us,
It is time for a show.
It is time for our healing,
It is time to let go.
Let emotion explode,
As success hurries near.
Let joyous emotion,
Erase any fear.
Let dreams take on form,
Let reality shape.
Let unwavering commitment,
Master our fate.
Within us is magic,
When energy aligns.
Within us the power,
Within us divine.
Faith in your dreams,
Faith is the start,
Faith in your soul,
Faith in your heart.
Let the laughter ring out,
Let the gratitude flow.
Let the world start its healing,
Let the pain
Just
Go.”
This spell was to be my magnum opus, if it were not for the fact that I intend to constantly improve myself and my craft.
This spell was crafted following my usual process with one VERY big exception. There was a hard time limit, because I could not start crafting this spell until the partial lunar eclipse began, and I had to finish crafting before the maximum eclipse, so that I could then cast it and bless some stones before the event was over.
If I failed, I would not have another chance at a partial eclipse until 2026, and I really did not want to wait that long.
Sitting in a clearing that I was very familiar with, I could FEEL the energy as I awaited Her arrival. I’d arrived early and eager, my favorite dress, my trusted cloak, my favorite pointed shoes even though hiking in those was a B, and if I may say so, my makeup looked sensational.
I occupied myself with card readings, as planned, to build my attunement, I’d brought a bag of oracle decks with a couple of my favorite tarots and started to shift through them as intent called to me. I did craft one other spell, but mostly I just recorded the insights and used the cards to sharpen my focus for the night. Because I wanted this spell to happen.
The other spells I’d crafted until this point where spells that frankly, just came to me. I did want to craft them and I did set my intent to that, but I did not have to offer much of myself in turn, nature was simply recognizing my intent and gracing me with magic. But this spell was different; this spell, the pursuit of it captivated the entirety of my mind and I had to manifest it, I had to make it a part of reality.
The moment the moon crested over the trees I let out an audible squeal of glee. Even though showtime was still a ways away, the star was approaching Her stage and I was so happy to see Her. knew I was using my Moonology Oracle decks, cause I mean, come on, it was a lunar event. But I started working with the tarot decks I had brought to chose. I should have known I’d land on my Modern Witch deck.
With my two favorite decks side by side I started to ask questions to really hone down my intent. I needed to make sure my ask was true for this all to work. Thankfully I took notes, and there are many blessings, affirmations and spells that could be crafted from these readings (one day), but finally I did arrive on an intent that rung true:
“There is good in this world and it’s worth fighting for more. Let this spell start it’s healing and let light endure.”
Thank you Samwise the Brave for showing up in my cards a few times to help this come to be, as I re-read my journal from that night- I should have picked up on it the first time I saw you… The full context was there, I was just slow.
With this intent locked into my mind, I retrieved from my bag a handful of stones shaped into crescent moons I’d recently acquired and laid them on my travel altar. And then I waited.
As soon as I saw the eclipse begin I set to work, I laid a slightly modified Celtic Cross spread I’d devised for the occasion, utilizing both Oracle and Tarot.
Unfortunately I can’t tell you much about the crafting, as in my rushed state I was 9001% focused in on the crafting and I really don’t remember it if I didn’t write it on the page, and what I wrote on the page was…. nightmare garbage. So forgive me for skipping right to the casting.
I actually finished crafting ahead of schedule, I finished about 10 minutes before mid-eclipse and so I took a brief moment to relax. That may have been a mistake. As when the maximum eclipse moment arrived, I took a couple quick photos, then set to casting-and I failed to cast three times.
I was attuned (or so I thought) and so I immediately went to cast thinking I could seal a few dozen stones. Holding my wand, intent ringing true, saying the words, breaking the seal and…. nothing? I felt no energy, no magic. Nothing had happened.
Slightly panicked I decided to recheck my attunement. Afterall, I hardly ever went straight from crafting to casting, maybe I just need to follow my usual process. So I did a reset, I recast the spell and… I don’t think I caused that gust of wind through my hair… Nothing again.
Incredibly worried now, my mind started to shatter. I’d tried so hard and got so far close, but now at this crucial moment my magic was failing me. I offered a prayer to the Goddess for Her grace and understanding, I begged Her aid. I completed my attunement ritual all over AGAIN, and went to cast, so sure that this time it would work. I already told you I failed three times. I was crestfallen.
What happened next I can only mirror to the climax of the 3rd HP book. Seeing the imminent loss of something I had just found but held dear, but also knowing I alone had the power to save it-I set forth to cast one last time, after that is, I laid a three card spread. These cards for me, were Harry’s realization that his dad wasn’t coming, I knew why the spell didn’t work, and I knew now that it was going to.
I stood up, dropping my wand, ripping off my hat and cloak, and for a very brief moment confidently stared at that beautiful Moon face to face once more. Then I close my eyes, and read the spell. Not from the page, not from memory, from the heart.
As I read each line I felt the magic building. I did have to keep my excitement in check as mentally I briefly felt like…. well, but the energy was building within me, waiting for the pay off at the end. My heart, mind and soul were overflowing with magic as I approached the final stanza, the energy tingling every inch of my body, until at last, the spell was cast.
The release I felt at this moment was phenomenal, tears of joy were rushing down my face, but I knew my work wasn’t done yet, quickly I identified from my handful of stones the ones that were calling and began sealing those in wax, knowing I had just precious minutes left. Unfortunately even with three burners going, I only got in two rounds of wax before the eclipse ended.
I managed to seal seven. They remain sealed to this day, and I haven’t decided what to do with them. Maybe break one open next eclipse and see what happens. But the spell they are infused with is now free for everyone to read and bring into their own reality! (though an eclipse would be required for a true recasting)
Blessed Be
Pic is sadly the best quality I could take of the sheer majesty, and you can’t even tell it’s there.
