Eclipse Magick: 4 things to do, and 2 things to NOT do.
There is nothing wrong with doing Magick during an Eclipse. But consider these things...
What Magick can you make during an Eclipse? What can you manifest during an eclipse? What should you avoid during an Eclipse?
Tomorrow, September 17th, there will be a lunar eclipse flitting through the dreamy sign of Pisces.
You might be thinking, “Ooh! An eclipse! Time to make some REAL Magick!”
Well. Maybe.
Or you might think, “Oh no! An eclipse! Hide from all Magick!”
Again. Maybe.
Eclipses are indeed powerful. They are emotionally powerful to witness, and can be a serious boost to your Spiritual practice as well. They can also be tricky and chaotic. In fact, many cultures don’t advise that their people go outside during an eclipse.
There is nothing wrong with doing Magick during an Eclipse. But consider these things:

What can you do spiritually during an eclipse?
Shadow work. Because eclipses, especially lunar eclipses, are essentially shadows in the sky, it’s a perfect time to do Shadow work of your own. If you missed last week’s Tarot Tutorial, there’s a great Shadow work spread.
Create chaos. Chaos has a role in life and eclipses have historically heralded and caused chaos. If you want to create chaos in a given situation (maybe in a rival political party’s campaign???), an eclipse *could* be a good time to do it. You may end up with a little more chaos in your own life too as chaos sticks to whatever is present.
Invoke secrecy (best during a solar eclipse). During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the earth and the sun, briefly blocking out the sun. Use this eclipse to charge crystals for secrecy and use them in your rituals to keep your Magick secret, or put them with your projects if you want to keep something undercover!
Shed a new light on something (best during a lunar eclipse) Moonlight changes during a lunar eclipse, often looking red. If you want to shed a new light on something, consider doing Magick for that during a lunar eclipse. Be prepared: the light may not be exactly what you WANT it to be, but a different light it will be nonetheless!
What should you NOT do during an eclipse?
Spells for your own leadership or to increase personal power Eclipses have historically been bad omens, often believed to mark the downfall of powerful persons. Doing Magick to increase your own leadership or personal power during an eclipse will likely set yourself up for a tough ending!
Transformation work An eclipse isn’t a transformation of celestial bodies—it’s an illusion of one. Doing magick for transformation during an eclipse may make you think something has transformed…but you might only trick yourself!
