New Moon Magick ~ October ‘24

During the October New Moon Eclipse, the heightened energy of both the New Moon and the eclipse creates a powerful time for specific types of magick that align with transformation, new beginnings, and releasing what no longer serves you. Here are types of magick particularly suited for this celestial event:

Shadow Work and Self-Reflection Magick

* Eclipses are known for revealing hidden truths, making this a potent time for shadow work. Shadow work involves delving into your subconscious to confront aspects of yourself that you may have repressed or ignored. During this New Moon Eclipse, rituals that focus on self-awareness, healing past wounds, and integrating your shadow self can be incredibly transformative.

* Suggested Ritual: Create a space for meditation and journaling. Use black candles and herbs like mugwort or yarrow to enhance intuition. Focus on asking your higher self to reveal any hidden fears, patterns, or beliefs that are holding you back. Write down what comes up and plan for how you will address or release these aspects.

New Beginnings and Transformation Spells

* The New Moon’s natural association with fresh starts is amplified by the eclipse’s potential to accelerate change. Use this powerful energy to cast spells for setting new intentions, starting projects, or transforming an area of your life. Eclipse energy can help you break through stagnant energy and open new doors.

* Suggested Ritual: Write your intentions on a piece of paper, then create a sacred space with crystals like clear quartz (for clarity and focus) and moonstone (for new beginnings). Light a white candle to represent purity and the start of something new. As you meditate on your goals, imagine them manifesting swiftly and powerfully due to the eclipse's energy.

Banishing and Releasing Magick

* Eclipses are prime times for removing blockages, bad habits, or toxic influences in your life. This is a great time for banishing spells, as the eclipse’s energy can help to clear out anything that no longer serves your highest good. You can also focus on breaking negative cycles or dissolving energetic ties that are holding you back.

* Suggested Ritual: Perform a cord-cutting ceremony if you need to release emotional, spiritual, or psychic connections that have become toxic or draining. Use black candles and symbols of protection, like salt circles or obsidian crystals. Visualize the energy of the eclipse burning away what is no longer needed.

Karmic and Ancestral Healing Magick

* Since eclipses often deal with karmic cycles, this New Moon Eclipse is a powerful time to focus on healing ancestral patterns or clearing karmic debts. You may feel drawn to resolve lingering family issues or heal from patterns passed down through generations.

* Suggested Ritual: Prepare a sacred space and use incense or herbs such as sandalwood or sage to clear the energy. Meditate on your family lineage, asking for healing and releasing of negative patterns. You could also set up an ancestor altar to honor your ancestors and ask for their guidance in breaking these cycles.

Relationship and Balance Magick (Libra Focus)

* With the eclipse in Libra, it’s an ideal time to work on magick related to relationships, partnerships, and balance. Libra’s energy is all about fairness, harmony, and justice, so any rituals focused on these themes will be amplified. This is a good time for spells to improve communication, resolve conflicts, or bring more balance into your relationships or life in general.

* Suggested Ritual: Set up a balance altar using scales or other symbols of harmony. Work with pink or green candles (for love and balance) and crystals like rose quartz or jade. Focus on intentions that invite peace, mutual understanding, and equilibrium in your relationships. You can also perform forgiveness rituals to help heal past wounds.

Intuition and Psychic Development Magick

* The veil between worlds tends to thin during eclipses, making this an excellent time for psychic development and divination work. If you’re seeking to enhance your intuition, this is the time to do so. The eclipse energy can help you access deeper levels of consciousness and insight.

* Suggested Ritual: Use divination tools like tarot cards, runes, or scrying mirrors under the New Moon Eclipse. Light candles and incense associated with enhancing psychic abilities, such as lavender or frankincense. Focus your intention on receiving clear messages or guidance from your higher self or spirit guides.

Magick for Major Life Changes

* If you’re seeking to initiate a major life change—whether it’s a career shift, a move, or a significant personal transformation—this is the time to perform powerful magick. Eclipses bring with them fast-moving, fated events, so setting strong intentions during this time can help you manifest profound shifts in your life.

* Suggested Ritual: Write down your desired major life change on a piece of parchment paper. Use fire or candles to symbolize the transformative power of the eclipse. As you burn your intention, visualize the energy of the eclipse bringing swift and positive change into your life.

Protection Magick

* Eclipses can stir up intense and unpredictable energy, making it important to protect yourself spiritually. If you feel vulnerable to these shifting energies, use this time to perform protection rituals for yourself, your loved ones, and your space.

* Suggested Ritual: Cast a protective circle around your space using salt or protective herbs like rosemary or basil. Light black or white candles and place protective crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, or hematite around your home. Visualize a shield of light protecting you from negative energy.

Key Tips for Magick During an Eclipse:

* Grounding is essential: Eclipses can bring intense energy, so make sure to ground yourself before and after rituals. Walk barefoot on the earth or use grounding stones like hematite or black tourmaline.

* Be prepared for unexpected outcomes: Eclipses can bring sudden, sometimes surprising results, so stay open and flexible.

* Don’t overdo it: Eclipse energy is potent and intense. It’s best to focus on one or two specific intentions to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

This New Moon Eclipse is a time of powerful transformation and renewal, making it ideal for magick that aligns with deep inner work, significant life changes, and creating balance in relationships.
