The Blood Moon is more than just an astronomical wonder; for centuries, it has held deep spiritual meaning, invoking both awe and reflection across cultures, religions, and spiritual practices worldwide.

This year, two Blood Moons are set to take place on March 13-14 and September 7-8, 2025, making these dates prime opportunities for anyone seeking to harness the moon’s potent energy for spiritual renewal and personal transformation.

For personal growth, the Blood Moon represents a moment when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is at its thinnest, inviting us to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

The Blood Moon is a time to reset and realign our energy.

It’s as if the cosmos is offering an invitation to tune into the deeper rhythms of existence and tap into our own latent power.

The Blood Moon is seen as a powerful opportunity for personal reflection and self-awareness. It invites us to take stock of our emotional state and consider what needs to be released in order to move forward. This is not just about physical release but a spiritual one—letting go of toxic thoughts, relationships, or habits that no longer serve our higher purpose.

Blood moons can be incredible for protection magick and for releasing anything that is no longer serving you.

The blood moon eclipse energy is the strong, unapologetic revealing of the truth that may cause upheavals. It’s not coincidence that it also sits with other chaotic astrological events in this month.

A lunar eclipse is more than just an astronomical event; it’s a gateway to heightened energy and transformation. Discover why these moments are pivotal in pagan and witchcraft traditions for connecting with the divine, embracing change, and undertaking shadow work.

Imagine the veil between worlds as a curtain that gets thinner during an eclipse. This makes it the prime time for reaching out to other realms, chatting with spirits, or simply basking in the moon’s amplified energy to supercharge your magical workings.

This is the time to aim high with your magic. Want to banish those pesky negative vibes? Break a curse? Set intentions that stick? The eclipse’s energy is your ally, making your spells more potent and your intentions clearer.

DARK MOON WORK AND THE POWER OF BANE

Total lunar eclipses are called blood moons because the moon has a reddish tint when the eclipse is in the total stage. This coloring is because of how light from the sun passes through Earth’s atmosphere, a principle called Rayleigh scattering.

Few celestial events mesmerize like the blood moon, where the moon takes on a deep red hue.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth sits directly between the sun and the moon, causing Earth’s shadow to be cast on the moon, according to NASA. This can only happen during a full moon. 

The unstable nature of the blood moon’s energy can lead to inauspicious starts. Even ancient cultures all around the world associated the blood moon with uncertainty and fear, so it’s no surprise the blood moon can leave you feeling unsettled.

Some cultures believe that when the blood moon takes place, it means that it’s time to explore your dark side and dive deeper into the hidden emotions hidden in our subconscious mind like rage, and grief. A blood moon symbolizes it is time to let go and heal.

March is a month that often goes unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of transitioning seasons, yet it holds deep symbolic and magical significance. As the bridge between the icy introspection of winter and the vibrant rebirth of spring, March beckons us to awaken from our slumber and embrace transformation.
