Performing magickal rituals during an eclipse can be pretty tricky business. It is best for beginning Magicians to perform their spells during Waxing to “regular” Full Moons.

For seasoned practitioners, Black Magicians and Necromancers, of course the upcoming Blood Moon is perfect for such purposes as Seances, Spirit Evocation (not Goetia spirits though), Dark Angelic works, Enochian, Scrying in the Spirit Vision, Consecration of destructive talismans, and the like.

I’m sure the Vampyre Community has something interesting conjured up for the evening’s festivities, lol.

Remember to pay attention to the fact that doing any rituals tonight may have a negative impact on your life, depending on your astrological chart. The Full Moon is in Virgo, so rituals at this time can affect your 6th and 3rd Houses negatively — just remember to be careful.

For Necromancers, I’d suggest being extra cautious about contamination — spiritual and otherwise, during this most inauspicious Lunar phase.

Eclipse Magick: Many magicians choose to do their most powerful spells during a special astronomical event known as an eclipse. Just as the sign of the Moon affects the power of rituals and worldly events, there is an additional twist when the Lunar eclipse happens in a particular sign.

Causes of a Lunar Eclipse: A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon. Lunar eclipses occur, on average, about every 6 months.

Types of Lunar Eclipses: A Total Eclipse happens when the entire moon enters the Earth’s umbra (the darkest part of its shadow.)

Partial Eclipse: A Partial Eclipse happens when only part of the moon enters the Earth’s umbra.

Duration of Lunar Eclipses: During an average total lunar eclipse, the moon is within the Earth’s umbra for about an hour. This is called totality.

Frequency of Lunar Eclipses: Since the plane of the moon’s orbit is inclined about 5 Degrees from the plane of the Earth’s orbit, lunar eclipses are relatively infrequent. There are about two lunar eclipses each year,visible somewhere on Earth.
