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.

I wanted to send out a special Astral Happy Birthday to my friend, the late John Balance, (aka Jhonn). He would have been 45 in earth years.

John was a founding member of the remarkable musical group, Coil, with his life partner, Peter Christopherson. I’ve been an avid listener and fan since he first began putting out his music. During the 1980’s, we began a correspondence which lasted a few years.

John was an extraordinarily talented Magician who worked with soundwaves. We shared an insatiable interest in Magick and the works of such men as Aleister Crowley.

John, wherever you are, may you have accomplished your True Will, continuing to play the music of the spheres as you shine your lovely light upon us all.

New Moon in Capricorn PDF – Astro Chart and Aspects!

The New Moon in Capricorn at 28 Degrees will happen tonight at 8:08 pm, PST (11:08 pm, EST).

The Meaning of The New Moon: The New Moon is the beginning of the Waxing (growing) phase of the moon. This phase is best for starting projects, and attracting energy toward manifesting your desires for the next 14 days — that is, until the next Full Moon phase, which represents the next cycle of completion. (Learn more about the Voxx Magickal Forum and check out the folder for New Moon Rituals.

Meaning of the New Moon in Capricorn: The New Moon in Capricorn is one of the best for setting goals, initiating projects, and making a serious commitment toward manifesting your long-range plans.

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, and both sign and planet are associated with the ideas of restriction, and discipline — both necessary in order to accomplish the greater things in life.

Right now, Mars (the planet of action) is also in the sign of Capricorn, lending a kick-ass energy which enables us to actually fulfill our New Year’s resolutions! While Capricorn is the starting point for this new lunar phase, the energy will build, adding a positive sense of forward movement to all you attempt.

Procrastinate tomorrow! (lol) Right now, it’s time to get yourself in gear and start moving forward for once. Just because this energy is so powerful and positive, there’s a likelihood that you’ll expect results quickly — but, don’t get exasperated when this doesn’t happen. Just because you’re finally taking your life seriously doesn’t mean that everything can be magickally sorted out overnight. Have patience. That’s the ultimate Capricornian phrase. Chill out for heaven’s sake!

Planetary Aspects: Uranus and Jupiter make an uneasy 45-degree semisquare to the Sun-Moon conjunction. Meaning of this aspect suggests that plans can be disrupted at the last minute, so make sure to have a backup plan. In order to keep things going smoothly, it’s best to adapt to the situation, rather than give up entirely. You can still achieve your goals, but maybe just not as quickly as you had originally hoped. Balanced communication is necessary to keep pressure from building up. Roll with the punches, and don’t take things too personally at this time.

Global Effects of the New Moon in Capricorn: The Lunar/Saturn influence will no doubt be tough on weather patterns, and make us start paying attention to the damage we’re doing to the planet — not as punishment, but to guide us toward changing our patterns of planetary abuse.

“Nothing is true. All is permitted.” _ Hasan i Sabbah

Robert Anton Wilson left his earthly vehicle for a late-model astral body, leaving the chaotic shores of Gaia for possibly the last time at 4:50 am (PST), on Thursday, January 11, 2007, with the Moon at 29 Degrees Libra.

According to a news source, Robert had been in ill health for the past several years. He suffered from the effects of post-polio syndrome which had severely damaged his legs and weakened his body. After a serious fall in June 2006, Robert was unable to walk, and confined to bed. Many of his closest family, friends and fans rallied around the author during his last several months to support him emotionally and even financially, for which Wilson was truly grateful.

Wilson, or RAW as he was popularly known, was a prolific author, penning a wide range of fascinating work during his long, and eventful life. Among his works left behind, are novels and essays.

In addition to being a celebrated author, he was also a philosopher, psychologist, futurist, anarchist, and conspiracy theorist.

A small selection of Wilson’s best-known works include such popular books as:

• The Illuminatus! Trilogy (1975) including the following:
  
• (The Eye in the Pyramid)
  
• (The Golden Apple)
  
• (Leviathan)
  
• The Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati (1977)
  
• Schrodinger’s Cat (Trilogy, 1980-1981)
  
• Masks of the Illuminati (1981)
  
• The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles (1982-1991)
  
• Prometheus Rising (1983, revised 1987), and
  
• Quantum Psychology (1990)

He was also friends with the late Timothy Leary, with whom he collaborated on two books, Neuropolitics and The Game of Life.

I had the personal good fortune to meet Robert several times over the last several years. Here I go, taking an acid trip down memory lane …
