𓋹 The Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse September 7, 2025

𓋹 The Blood Moon: The Crimson Gate 𓋹

𓋹 The Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse September 7, 2025 , the Moon will pass fully into Earth’s shadow, creating a total lunar eclipse. At its peak, the eclipse will last for over an hour, bathing the Moon in crimson fire and revealing the ancient face of the Blood Moon.

In Eastern Daylight Time, the eclipse begins in the afternoon with totality at 5:11 p.m., though the Moon will already be below the horizon for many in North America. Across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, the red Moon will rise fully visible, a sight that countless peoples have long revered as an omen and a gate of power.

Tomorrow night the heavens open in a rare display. Astronomers call it a total lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth swallowing the face of the Moon and turning her red. Since ancient times, spiritual peoples have known this as the Blood Moon — a time when the boundaries between worlds are loosened, when shadow and flame dance together in the sky.

For the witch of the Black Veil, this night is a gate. It is a chalice of endings and beginnings, a vision of mortality and eternity poured into the heavens.

𓋹 The Voices of Our Ancestors 𓋹

The ancients watched the red Moon with awe. In Babylon, the eclipse was an omen for kings, a sign that cosmic order was shifting. In Norse lands, they spoke of wolves devouring the Moon. Among the Inca, it was a jaguar consuming her light. In India, the shadow was the head of Rahu rising to drink her radiance.

These myths carry one truth: that the Blood Moon is a struggle in the heavens, a moment of cosmic unveiling. Our magical ancestors tuned themselves to these nights not for fear, but for power. They knew the veil was open, that spirits moved freely, that rites spoken then were magnified.

𓋹 The Current of Now 𓋹

This Blood Moon rises in Pisces, the sign of dissolution, dream, and release. Pisces is the tide that dissolves illusion, the womb of vision, the sea where boundaries fall away.

Aligned with Jupiter in Cancer, this eclipse expands the call to ancestry and bloodline. It is a time of healing through release, of nourishment through surrender. It also occurs during the sacred period of Pitru Paksha, when many turn to honor their dead. This night is therefore a profound threshold for ancestral communion.

𓋹 The Occult Power of the Blood Moon 𓋹

The Blood Moon is the Full Moon intensified. It carries all the illumination of fullness, and adds the shadow of eclipse, making it the cauldron of transformation. It is the womb and the grave, the chalice and the blade.

For the witch, this means a night of release, banishment, shadow-work, and vision. It is the perfect time to pour grief and rage into the earth, to honor ancestors, to call the Free Soul into flight, to seek visions beyond the veil.

𓋹 For those who are members of this Temple, it is important to know that the lunar rituals already given must be performed on this night if you wish to harness the full power of this eclipse. These rituals are available through subscription, and they are keys to working with the Moon as gate and teacher.

𓋹 For those members walking beneath the Black Veil, it is especially vital to perform the rite that has been given. This ritual prepares you for the descent, and for the work that begins on Monday, the very next day, as we open the darker spiral of the year.

𓋹 Rituals of the Crimson Gate 𓋹

𓇽 The Bowl of Water

Fill a vessel with water. Speak into it what you release: griefs, illusions, chains. Place it beneath the red Moon. At dawn, pour the water into the earth and let the soil drink your offering.

𓇽 The Ancestor Flame

Light a candle of red or black. Speak the names of those who came before you. Invite them to walk with you through this eclipse. Offer silence, and listen for their reply.

𓇽 The Crimson Vigil

Sit in stillness, gaze upon the red Moon. Breathe her flame into your bones. Let your heart take her rhythm. You are drinking from the same chalice that witches, shamans, and kings once trembled before.

𓇽 Divination at the Gate

Lay your cards, cast runes, or scry in water. Ask the eclipse: “What dissolves, and what is born in its place?” Record the answer, for this eclipse turns the page of destiny.

𓋹 The Charge of the Priestess 𓋹

Beloved, this is the Blood Moon. It is not only the reddening of the sky, it is a gate for your soul. When you gaze upon it, you stand in the lineage of all who have trembled and sung beneath crimson moons since the beginning.

This is the night to release, to honor, to see. It is the night to pour your burdens into the soil, to speak to your ancestors, to drink the power of the eclipse into your very marrow.

𓋹 Perform your Temple rites, and let the current prepare you for the descent that begins on Moon Day. Step into the crimson current. Walk the shadow and flame. Feast in the temple of the sky. Return crowned in sovereignty. 𓋹

Mantra for the Blood Moon Flame

“Flame of crimson, gate of night,

I kindle fire, I claim my sight.

Shadow and blood, ancestor breath,

Through Lilith’s veil I conquer death.

I burn, I release, I rise, I descend,

In power eternal, without an end.”
