September Moon Magic by Jess
9/7/25 Full Moon, blood moon and also a moon eclipse!! 9/14/25 4th quarter. 9/21/25 new moon and particle solar eclipse. (Both eclipses are not for our area but we can still feel the energy.)
9/22/25 Mabon/ fall equinox 9/29/25 2nd quarter

Full moon’s Historical Name: Harvest Moon less common: barley moon
Historical Significance: The time for harvest, the Moon’s bright light also helped farmer’s work late into the night. Today’s Magical Significance: Consider what you may need more time to accomplish. Absorb the Moon’s energy to light your way. This may be marvelous night for that Moon Dance.

Your song of night sings quietly, sweet melody I hear. Enticed-I sway, I dance, I pray. Dear Moon, help guide my way. With all that great energy emanating from the Full Moon (the original disco ball in the sky!), now’s the time for a dance party. Invite the neighbors or friends for a formalized group event, or keep it simpler-just you. If you’re outside, sprinkle some glitter on the grass for a little “mood” magic. Crank up the tunes-or let your inner rhythms guide you-and dance to celebrate life and the culmination of another month’s work. Feel the energy cleanse your soul and the joy fill your heart. When finished, take a moment to be quiet and give thanks.
September is Sapphire
Meaning: Sapphire is another symbol of purity and wisdom.
Energy: Sapphire’s energy has a calming effect. Work with it to strengthen belief in yourself and foster self-esteem.
Zodiac Signs: Virgo August 23-September 23
The Maiden: Earth Sign
Let shine in the Full Moon’s Glow: Analytical, insightful, productive.
Allow dimming as the Moon’s light Sets: Critical, anxious, no fun
Associated essential Oil: Lavender-promotes a sense of calm and peace, heightening your natural intuition and relieving stress and anxiety.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) By Living Green
Medicinal: A member of the mint family, the qualities of Rosemary are: Stimulant, circulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and a good cold tonic. Rosemary has been used as a memory enhancer. Rosemary has been known to aid with liver, nerve, brain, and lung functions. Scientist has been testing rosemary as possibly helping the body with preventing strokes and cancer. This makes a good mouthwash and a hair rinse. Rosemary is high in iron, calcium, and vitamin b6. Do not drink tea in excess.
Culinary: Rosemary is an aromatic herb, just walk by any Rosemary plant and brush your hand through its branches. What a wonderful smell. Rosemary makes an excellent accent to any chicken dish. I have also had Rosemary bread.
History: Rosemary has been used since word was written; there are many accounts for this throughout history. Apothecaries of the 16th century knew of the properties of Rosemary. Mary was said to have laid her cloak over white rosemary and when she retrieved her cloak, the flowers turned purple. Romans wore this herb in their hair to increase their mental powers while reading. Rosemary means “Dew of the Sea” in Latin. In the Middle Ages wedded couples wore rosemary sprigs for love and loyalty.
Metaphysical: Magically, Rosemary protects, purifies, heals, aids in sleep, induces mental powers, and attracts elves. It works with love, lust, youth, and exorcism. It is said to wash the feet of a thief in Rosemary and he will not have the strength to steal. Rosemary soap purifies before any healing work. Rosemary in a pillow will drive away nightmares away and aid in a good sleep. Stuff a poppet with rosemary for love or to expel illness.
On Midsummer, place a bowl of flour next to a rosemary plant, and in the morning, the initials of your future love one will be written. Gender: Masculine, Planet: Sun, Element: Fire.

Mabon Autumn Equinox Second of the Three Harvests.
Also called winter’s Finding or Alban. Named after the Welch God who symbolizes the male fertility in Welsh myths.

Colors: Maroon, gold, orange, brown, white, red, black and violet.
