You may have heard that the second of the three eclipses in this crazy, stressful and powerful eclipse season occurred today. The first was a couple of weeks ago and the third will be in a couple of weeks and were both solar eclipses. This one is the first lunar eclipse of the year. It was a really long one too – over an hour and a half – and if you were in anywhere from Eastern Africa to Western Australia it would have been an amazing sight. Here in good ole NYC, we’ll have to settle for seeing a regular full moon.
There are so many full moon rituals that have existed through the ages, but you’ll have to consult with someone a little more Wicca than me to find any magical spells. (Or is it magikal?) But before you hasten to Google, here’s one better suited to us anyway. Hey, it’s worth a try at least: dancing.
Here’s Wolfe’s cover of “Dancing in the Moonlight.” I used to hate it and now I completely love its breeziness. And just because it’s always fun to compare, here’s the original 1972 version by King Harvest.
The lesson for this second eclipse is clear: you can’t dance and stay uptight.
