Celebration of the Full Corn Moon

Take the Spellbook Home

Most years the Harvest moon falls in September, but this year sees the full September Moon as the Corn Moon.  This is because the Harvest moon is always the closest moon of the year to the Equinox.  That is set to happen Tuesday September 22nd, much closer to the October full moon.

The common names of moons have been cemented through the Farmers Almanac, which uses those from Native American Algonquin tribes.  These people lived along the Atlantic Seaboard all the way in to the Great Lakes.  They called this the Corn Moon because, as you’d expect, it was time to harvest corn.  Celtic British peoples were known to call this the Wine Moon, pushing the prosperity of harvest into its end product.  The Lakota Sioux, a people linking that area through the Dakotas and Iowa towards the Pacific coast called this the Moon When Plums are Scarlet.  The Swinomish, a Pacific Northwest Coast Salish Tribe, names this the Moon of the Silver Salmon.  Either way, it’s a time of gathering in and with. 

Astrologically, this moon occurs in Pisces.  A pisces moon is plentiful with intuition, rich in dreams and magic.  It’s the place of universal oneness, the last sign we must ascend before we finish the wheel of karma.  This sign knows were are all divine star seeds, and when the moon is there, we don’t just know it, we feel it.  This is a time of balance, of reaching into the universal to snap into your healthy self. 

This month we will not meet in person, or virtually.  You can join us in spirit, access the power over the Piscean universal spirit web.  This is not meant to continue in a spellbook only way, but the aim will be to merge these two offerings in the future, including live circles as well as spellbook chapters.

Two days before the full moon, I will send you your own full moon spell, complete with embodiment practice, instructions for relevant ritual craft and a mantra to invoke the astrological influences of this month. 

Open to all women and nonbinaries.
