The Full Moon occurs on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 2:31 am E.S.T. This Moon is in the astrological sign of Gemini, which is considered a “Mutable” air sign. The energy for this lunation fluctuates between active and passive in dealing with matters of the Mind and Intellect.

The events that are ripe to occur during this time may be a harsh ‘wake-up’ call for some who may be spending and eating too much. The mood of the times, bolstered by other planet’s movements, gives a harsh reality to what is going on, especially in the matters of spending and eating. Take care that you are not spending to fill an emotional ‘need’ or that you consume foods that may have been out of refrigeration too long. Gemini rules the respiratory system, so take care around crowds to avoid breathing in someone else’s cold germs.

During this time it is good to prepare all your candle works, including research and calculations for measurement and timing. This is also an excellent time for candle charging as Gemini’s Moon gives added mental intensity to this step in your candle burning process. Your creative powers and mental powers at at a prime during this Moon. Burn yellow candles with “Crowning Glory” or “Crown of Success” Anointing Oil during this time when doing any studying or research.This spiritual condition oil is reputed to assist in seeking and remembering knowledge that is necessary to succeed.

The Full Moon is also considered a great time to “reverse” or “send away” any bad or negative thoughts, things or incidences. Burning a “Reversible” candle, anointed with “”Reversible” oil, with a small petition paper underneath asking that all negativity directed towards you be sent back to its’ origins.

The next New Moon will occur on Wednesday, December 16, 2009.

Here is a simple but effective candle spell that can be used while entertaining guests as a centerpiece or even an altar and they won’t even know the blessings you are surrounding them with!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cranberry Red Candle
1 Pumpkin Orange Candle
1 Golden Spice Candle
1 bottle “Crown of Success” Oil
1 bottle of “Fast Luck” Oil
1 bottle of Protection” Oil

This candle spell is easy and the earthy scents of the Condition/Anointing Oils will be mixed with the delicious aromas from your kitchen and your guests will not know that you are actually bestowing them with protection and best wishes for their luck and success.

Clean candles as prescribed in right hand column labeled in Categories as “Proper Candle Preparation”. Let dry.

Carve three little holes/wells in candle top and add the “Fast Luck” to the cranberry red candle, the “Crown of Success” to the pumpkin orange candle and “Wall of Protection” to the golden spice candle.

Arrange on something pretty like the gold charger I am using here. Decorate with leaves, mini pumpkins or even glass ornaments. I used faux mini squashes and gourds.

Keep an eye on your candles while you are entertaining because if you use free standing ones as I have here, they will eventually distort and hot wax will run down one side. Extinguish with a candle sniffer before taking a post dinner nap.

Enjoy this festive celebration and Give Thanks for all that the Universe has given to you.
