Full Moon Irish/Celtic Love Spell

Full Moon Irish/Celtic Love Spell

As most of you know, on Friday, September 4, there will be a full moon.

 

This Full Moon Irish/Celtic Love Spell can be performed on Friday or Saturday, but it will work for the current full moon only. This love spell can strengthen existing love, turn friendship into love, or attract a new or reluctant lover. Aine (pronounced Ahn-yah), the moon goddess of the Irish Celts, is the one invoked here, and because Aine is a benevolent goddess, the spell will be successful only if the love you request is pure on your part and is beneficial for you.

 

Read the spell all the way through once before beginning it.

 

You will need:

• A clean bowl
• A bottle of water (any brand is okay)
• A flashlight
• Corn meal, or anything made of corn (a corn muffin, kernals of fresh corn, corn pollen, etc.)
• An envelope
• Tape or safety pins
• A picture of your beloved, or something small he or she has owned or touched.

You must perform the spell after sunset, when the full moon is in the sky. You can do this spell in any place at all, such as your own back yard or a parking lot. If the sky is overcast, the spell will be weakened, but it is worth performing anyway. If the weather is rainy, and particularly if there is lightning in the sky, the spell will not work, so don’t bother with it.

 

Before leaving home, put the picture or the object belonging to your beloved into the envelope, and put the envelope over your heart. Secure it in place by gently taping it to your body, or by pinning it to your shirt over your heart. Make sure it is held in place firmly enough that it will not come off as you walk out into the night.

 

Stand with the bowl and the bottle of water at your feet. The flashlight should be in your pocket. Holding the cornmeal (or other corn product) in your left hand at arm’s length from your body, turn slowly to your left making a complete circle, scattering the cornmeal in a circle around you. The circle need not be perfect, and if there are gaps, or if you run out of cornmeal before you complete the circle, that’s okay.

 

Pick up the bowl and the bottle of water. Pour some water into the bowl, and hold the bowl in both hands in such a way that you can see the reflection of the full moon in the water, or so that you can see in the water the light from the full moon hidden behind the clouds.

 

As you gaze at the moon’s reflection in the water, focus your mind on your beloved. Visualize the two of you happily together.

 

Say the following:

 

“Goddess Aine (ahn yah), moon goddess of the Irish Celts, my love is pure for __________ [say the name of the beloved here, or, if you don’t know the name, describe the person (“the cute blonde barrista at Starbucks”)]. Therefore, Aine, use your power to grant me the pureness and goodness of this love.”

 

The water has now taken on magical qualities from the power of Aine and of the moon. Drink some, but not all, of this magic water—as much as you wish to drink, as long as you don’t drink it all. As you drink, feel the power of the moon goddess flowing into your body, into your heart, and into your beloved’s heart through the object you have placed over your own heart.

 

Now hold the bowl in your dominant hand (the one you write with) so that you can again see the moon’s reflection. With your other hand, shine the flashlight into the sky in the direction of the moon. This will get Aine’s attention.

 

Say a second time, as you focus your thoughts on your beloved:

 

“Goddess Aine (ahn yah), moon goddess of the Irish Celts, my love is pure for __________ [say the name of the beloved here, or, if you don’t know the name, describe the person (“the cute blonde barrista at Starbucks")]. Therefore, Aine, use your power to grant me the pureness and goodness of this love.”

 

Stand for a moment, gazing directly at the moon, contemplating your beloved and the purity of your love.

 

Finish by saying, “Thanks and praises be to you, gracious goddess Aine.”

 

Pour the remaining water from the bowl onto the ground. Keeping the flashlight on, return home. Take the picture or object from over your heart and put it in a safe place in your home. Once you have done this, turn out the flashlight.

 

You have now completed the spell, and you may pursue any activity you wish once it is completed.

 

If the love is indeed pure and good, Aine will grant your wish. If the wish is not granted, either your feelings are not sufficiently pure, or the beloved is not good for you. In either case, if the wish is not granted, you should seriously consider moving on, away from this loved one, before the next full moon.
