Magick For An Autumn Harvest Supermoon In The Shadow Of Hecate

Embrace the return of the darkness that accompanies the Equinox. The darkness is a beautiful thing, because it is where seeds germinate. The darkness is deeply potent: it is our subconscious and a source of our own power.

We are in a very potent time for magic and manifesting, because the gateway between both the spiritual and physical world has been unlocked.

It’s fall, a time where the veil to the other realm begins to become more thin, and we’re meant to reap all the benefits of our hard work we’ve put in through the spring and summer months.

Channel the new energy of the changing seasons.

Speak words of love and praise aloud to the darkness. Share what you love about it. What you’re ready for. What calls to you about this time of year?

Perform a release ritual where you make a list of all the things you want to leave in the past. This can be a very powerful way to release the past and let go. 

Let go of the things that aren’t serving you!

Reflect on your personal harvests, and take stock of what you have nurtured this year. 

The final Harvest super moon of 2023 will rise on the evening of Sept. 29.

This specific super moon will be the brightest of the year due to how close it is to Earth.

September’s full moon is also a full moon in Aries.

We will feel fired up to seize the day, carve out our own paths, and follow the desires of our egos.

It’s energy could infuse you with passion, desire and enthusiasm.

Powerful energy swirls in the lunar-charged sky. 

Drawing down of the moon carries an especially highly charged power during the supermoon.
Some people feel an especially heightened sensitivity during the full moon, and this multiplies tenfold during a supermoon. 
Use it for psychic or dream work, or just bask in its glow. 
Then, as the moon begins to shrink back or wane, think about what you want to get rid of, make smaller in your life. Think about reducing negativity and stress.
Hecate
The 29th of every month is her sacred day.
Originally a goddess of the wilderness and childbirth, who, over time, became associated with the practice of sorcery.
Over time, the apotropaic associations with the goddess, specifically with respect to her role in driving away evil spirits, led to the belief that Hecate, if offended, could summon evil spirits. Thus, invocations to Hecate arose which characterized her as the governess of the borders between the mortal world and the spirit world.
Eventually, Hecate’s power resembled that of sorcery. Medea, who was a priestess of Hecate, used witchcraft in order to handle magic herbs and poisons with skill, and to be able to stay the course of rivers, or check the paths of the stars and the moon.

attested to in Hesiod’s Theogony:

For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favor according to custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honor comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favorably, and she bestows wealth upon him.

Hecate was also seen as able to use her chthonic powers to deliver spiritual punishment to moral wrong-doers. Using “curse tablets,” which were buried in the ground, supplicants requested the aid of the goddess in pursuing their interpersonal vendettas, many of which have subsequently been discovered through archaeological research.
Give her an offering on dark moons and the 29th of each month.
Capable of both good and evil. She was associated with witchcraft, magic, the Moon, doorways, and creatures of the night like hell-hounds and ghosts.
