Hello my darlings and welcome.
In this video I share a magical bit of blue moon art witchery, with my spell intentions
woven into the tapestry of a weaving project.
Let’s do some magical crafting.
Before I share this art witchery blue moon spell, I want to let you know that if you
are inspired to create this weaving project and do your own spell work on the blue moon,
I have created some kits for this project.
Several people mentioned wanting to do a group blue moon ritual or spell.
And I understand that most folks would not want to buy five entire skeins of yarn to
do this project, when they would only need a few yards of each yarn.
If you are interested in a magical crafting project kit, I will link to it below the video.
To begin this project I am starting with an 8 inch wooden embroidery hoop.
I am creating a weaving loom by tying on some navy blue yarn and wrapping 27 warps around
the hoop.
No matter how many times you wrap your warps it is crucial to end up with an odd number
of them.
Once you have an odd number of wraps, tie off the yarn and put the outer embroidery
hoop on and tighten it down as tightly as you can.
Then take the navy blue yarn and wrap it around the center where the threads intersect, causing
all of the warps to come into line.
You can center the knots in the middle of the embroidery hoop or you can tie them together
slightly off center as I have done.
Once the center wraps and knots are tied, take the remainder of the yarn and begin weaving
it in and out.
As a leftie it was most comfortable for me to move from left to right, and this clockwise
or deasil direction is an auspicious direction for bringing something into your life.
If your spell is to banish or remove something, consider weaving counter clockwise or widdershins.
When you want to change yarn, simply tie a new piece of yarn onto the current one, just
make sure that the yarn ends and knot are placed on the back side of the weaving.
I like using variegated yarn because it changes color on its own without having to continuously
tie on new colors.
Variegated yarn also creates kind of a spiral pattern in the weaving as well.
The idea of doing a blue moon spell came up during a live stream planning for August.
I noticed a second full moon in the month, a blue moon.
Someone commented that Blue moon magic is supposed to last until the next Blue Moon.
On average, a blue moon occurs once every 33 months.
Almost three years.
That really piqued my interest and led to a discussion of what kind of spells we would
like to do with that kind of time horizon.
We began discussing how to create a group ritual for the blue moon and the intentions
that people might have for a three year long spell.
After the live stream I began to think about creating an art witch project for the blue
moon.
Something that everyone could participate in individually and I settled on a weaving
spell.
This project is something that can be done for an hour or so over the three nights of
the full moon.
Because a blue moon occurs only once every 33 months, it’s important to take some time
to consider what kind of magic you would like to manifest over that kind of long term, nearly
three year time frame.
Before I started this weaving spell I spent some time reflecting and thinking as well
as journaling about what my spell intention would be.
What is my most important long-term intention for a three year period?
I recommend that you really take the time to determine your true will and intention
and get clear about what you wish to manifest in the future.
Once I came up with my spell intention I wrote a series of chants or mantras or affirmations
about my intention.
I repeated these phrases throughout the weaving process.
Weaving my intention into every row of yarn.
You may wish to phrase your affirmations or chants in a simple and straightforward manner
as you will be repeating them hundreds of times.
After each mantra or affirmation I added the phrases, “this is my will, so mote it be”
to reinforce each statement.
You may wish to dress a candle and burn a spell candle while weaving your blue moon.
You might wish to burn incense that corresponds to your intention or play music that sets
an appropriate mood.
You may even want to do this project outside in the light of the full moon.
I found that the entire process took just over 4 hours, and it might be easier to split
the project up over the three nights of the full moon .
Once you have completed your moon, it is time to transition into the night sky.
I did this with some dark blue yarn twisted together with black to represent the moon’s
shine.
Then I continued with black yarn to fill up the rest of the night sky around the moon.
In various cultures and spiritual traditions, the moon is associated with cycles of renewal
and transformation.
The Blue Moon, with its powerful energy, serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life
and the universe.
Just as the moon waxes and wanes, our lives ebb and flow.
This celestial event offers a unique opportunity for self-reflection and release.
You can use this time to let go of old habits, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs, paving
the way for personal growth and transformation.
Before the invention of the Gregorian calendar, blue moons didn’t exist; they are a relatively
recent concept.
Because of this, they don’t have much symbolism outside of astrology.
To be honest, I could not find a source to confirm that magical intentions or spells
done on a blue moon last until the next one.
But that doesn't really matter.
What matters is that a community of witches wanted to create a group spell or ritual to
join energy to manifest their long-term desires.
That kind of positive community environment and gathered energy can supercharge everyone’s
magical workings.
This blue moon will also be a super moon, which won't happen again until 2032.
A super moon appears larger than usual because it is slightly closer to the earth.
Because it is bigger and brighter it is a time of illumination.
Revealing important information and key actions you should take.
It shows us more of what we need to know, we can see our accomplishments, we can see
the way forward and make plans for the future.
Once your weaving is complete, tie off the yarn and weave the end into the back.
Then weave in or clip off all of your tied-on ends.
The final portion of the project is to add the stars in the night sky with these copper
star charms and copper jump rings.
Simply open the jump ring, place the charm onto the ring, then put it on a strand of
yarn and close the ring.
I decided to charge each of my stars with a specific intention that related to my overall
spellwork.
This way I added several smaller spells onto the larger one.
And here is my completed blue moon woven spell.
And here is a quick look at the project kit in
case you want to make your own.
It includes an 8 inch wooden embroidery hoop, the five different yarns I used in this video,
a tapestry needle, step by step instructions and copper star charms and jump rings.
The only things you need to have at home to complete the kit is a pair of scissors and
pliers or jewelry tools to open and close the jump rings.
I hope this video inspires you to do your own blue full super moon magic this month.
I would love to see your project If you create this kit or create a blue moon spell project
of any kind you can tag it with the hashtag #bluemoonmagic and share it on social media.
