Burn The Last Bridges With The Last Quarter Moon

🌗✨ Burn the Last Bridges with the Last Quarter Moon ✨🌗

Hello lovely witches and magickal creatures 💫

The Last Quarter, or Third Quarter Moon, is a powerful time for final closures and concrete actions to end what no longer serves us, and clear out stubborn old habits or situations definitively. 🧹

This phase is distinct from the earlier waning phase as it calls not only for gradual releasing from negative influences, but for cementing those decisions with definitive actions and making sure there’s no turning back.

🕰️ Phase Duration: 2~3 days

🧙‍♀️ Suggested Rituals:

This is a period for deeper introspection and reflection on what truly must be removed from your life. It’s the perfect time for cycle-ending spells that ensure readiness for the new beginnings the New Moon will bring.

Consider cord-cutting spells to sever emotional ties, cleansing rituals using sage or salt to purify your space, and banishing negativity through focused visualizations or affirmations.

#IVYSANCTUM

(detail from the San Barnaba Altarpiece (c. 1488) by Sandro Botticelli)

bring back homeric epithets. call people brave-hearted, swift-footed, laughter loving and loud thundering. view the world with its rosy fingered and saffron robed dawns, its wine dark seas. make your own, walk across kiln fired earth and moss soft as sea sponges. be dew-eyed and soft-cheeked and silver-souled, deft-fingered and bright-tongued. gaze up at the many-storied stars and feel the warmth of the ancient sun, father of gods and men, as it beats down on the shimmering world, soft spun like caterpillar silk

The Underworld is a Galaxy

TW: Death

One day, I'll become like the stars,

Passively watching the earth below,

Looking down at the chaos that is life,

I will be surrounded on all sides,

By other celestial bodies,

And I'll never be alone,

I see myself traveling down,

The starry river of Styx,

A galaxy that Charon rows through,

The burning hot suns will light our path,

As he rows to the gates of Haides,

And star-ladden Cerberus lets us through,

We'll enter through a meteorite archway,

And see millions of souls looking onward,

Millions of stars facing us,

And I'll take my place amongst the stars,

I'll stand at the sparkling shores of the Lethe,

And I'll drink from its icy waters as I look down,

And once again, I'll forget the trials of earth,

I'll see but won't perceive them,

I'll forget how it feels to live through it all,

My tears will join the Lethe's waters,

With bits of stardust sprinkled into them,

And I'll mourn the flesh that once covered my body,

I'll ask to return to earth once more,

I'll live again through the hardships,

And again only find relief,

Upon returning to the stars.

WITCH TIP: use that ugly ass jar for making moon water. Tools don’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be effective. Buying unnecessary things that you already have a version of is pushed too much in witchcraft.

I’ve fallen victim to this very mindset!
