NEW MAGICKS FOR A NEW AGE

Volume I: A New Order of the Ages
Book 3: Applications
Part 4: Magickal Ritual Applications
Monday: Luna – an example of an invocation during the hours between dawn and sunset

Saturday: Luna – an example of an invocation during the hours between dusk and dawn

Nota Bene: On Timing

As with any other ritual, it is extremely important to time the ritual properly. First, if the invocation
is for a benefic or neutral purpose -- a ritual of increase -- then the Moon should be waxing; if it is for a
malefic purpose or should otherwise be classified as a ritual of decrease, the Moon should be waning.
This is especially true for an invocation of Luna.
Second, if it is possible, the Sun, Moon, and/or the Planet itself should be in a Sign in which the
Planet to be invoked is strong; the best for this purpose are the Planet’s esoteric rulerships. Luna’s
esoteric rulerships are Pisces and Gemini; Her exaltations, next best, are Aries and Taurus; and Her
mundane rulerships are Cancer and Leo. If this isn’t possible, an alternative is to have the Planet in the
Houses ruled by those Signs; for Luna, these are respectively the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Twelfth Houses.
Third, in the case of the Outer Planets, Saturn through Pluto, it is desirable to have the Sun, Moon,
and/or Planet to be invoked in an Element which that Planet rules. In this case, that of Luna, no Outer
Planets are involved, unless by chance Luna is in conjunction with one of them at the time of the
performance of the ritual, but Luna is a traditional ruler of Water, so Water Signs, especially Pisces and
Cancer, are excellent here.
Fourth, the day or night of the week should always be the one ruled by the Planet involved. Luna
rules the daylight hours of Monday and Saturday night.
Finally, the hour of the day or night for the ritual should always be one ruled by the Planet. Luna
rules the first, eighth, and (in high latitudes) fifteenth hours (60-minute periods) after dawn of Her day,
Monday, and the third, tenth, and (in high latitudes) the seventeenth hour (after sunset) of Her night,
Saturday. However, under certain circumstances, this last rule has an alternative: Certain of the Planets
also rule the four Angles of the horoscope. These are the Ascendant, or Dawn, ruled by the Sun and
Pluto; the Zenith, ruled by the Sun and Saturn; the Descendant, or Sunset, ruled by Saturn and Uranus;
and the Nadir, or Midnight, ruled by Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Luna. Midnight is especially
appropriate for invocations of Luna, just as the Zenith is for invocations of Sol, and the Nadir is for Pluto;
so midnight on Saturday night is a perfectly acceptable timing for invoking Luna. (This, of course, refers
to local midnight and noon, which may differ considerably from “official” or clock time, depending upon
the locality and time of year. Find out what time zone you’re in, then subtract four minutes for every
degree west of the official meridian of your time zone, or add four minutes for every degree east of it, of
the location of your ritual. A good atlas can give you the longitude of that location to the nearest 15’ of
arc or so. There are also a number of software programs that can calculate that for you, often within a
few seconds of arc.)

A. Ritual Equipment
 1. Standard Altar Equipment
a. At the East
1) Candles set in silver candle-holders of indigo and violet; or of blue and silver; or of very
dark purple and citrine, flecked azure; or of cold, pale blue and silver, rayed sky-blue*

*Any or all of these pairs of candles may be used, but for any one of such a pair, both candles in the pair
must be used; e.g., if you use indigo candles you must also have violet candles, and vice-versa,
otherwise there will be an imbalance of influences that could create cumulative problems)

wand, heeled and ringed with silver
4) Fire-dagger

3) Enneagram (star of nine points); enneagon (polygon of 9 equal sides)

4) Tarot cards: Trump III, The High Priestess; the four Nines
5) Plants associated with Luna: Luna rules plants that resemble her in shape and/or color,
such as the banana, gourds, mango, melons, pumpkins, and such white or yellow
flowers as opium poppy, orris root, sweet flag and water-lilies; plants with high water-
content, often with soft, juicy leaves, such as cabbage, cucumber, lettuce, and other
leafy vegetables; and plants that live in or near the water, or under moist, wan
conditions, such as seaweed and watercress. Of trees, She rules all those with rich,
abundant sap, such as the maple and the olive. As Queen of Night, She rules all night-
 blooming plants, such as night-blooming jasmine. She also rules anything common, as
well as anything involved in cooking; therefore She rules all common or familiar
vegetables, and all herbs used in cooking and flavoring food.
She is also the Triple Goddess, Maiden/Nymph/Crone. As Koré or Diana, the
Maiden, She Protects women in childbirth. Its Selene or Hers, the Matron, She is
Queen of Fertility. And as Hekate, the Protector-Crone, She is the powerful, post-
menopausal specialist in Magick of all kinds, particularly Tantra; the Destroyer of
Demons; the Well of Wisdom; and the Mother of Last Things, the one who tenderly
and lovingly bathes and clothes the bodies of the beloved dead for their long, last sleep.
Thus as Diana, the Maiden, She rules any plants used to keep pregnant women and their
unborn children healthy; and those that make childbirth easier and safer for both
mother and child. As Selene, the Nymph, She rules those plants that promote fertility;
and those that increase sexual attractiveness or desire, in order to promote sexual
reproduction, such as damiana, garlic, ginger, and the mandrake. And under Her aspect
as the Crone, Hekate, She rules all plants growing in graves or cemeteries; all herbal
medicines and all poisonous plants (since these are dispensed by village wise-women,
who are ruled by Hekate; also, Hekate rules works of maleficent Magick, and anything
that kills, and thus all poisons). As the Medusa or Kali, the Crone aspects respectively
of Pallas Athena and Durga, She also rules the same plants that are used to enhance
sexual attractiveness and drive that are ruled by Hera, but for use in Tantra rather than
for the purpose of physical reproduction. In particular, as Hekate, She rules the willow,
because willow-bark is used to reduce the pain of cramps during menstruation, also
ruled by Hekate. Thus She rules the white rose, both because it is white and thus
resembles Her in color, and because it simultaneously represents death (the Chinese
color for death is white) and sexuality (the rose represents sexuality).
Liber 777 adds to these the banyan (Key 9); and the almond, mugwort, hazel,
moonwort and ranunculus (Key 13). Oken adds rosemary, chickweed, and iris. De
Vore adds adder’s tongue, clary, coral-wort, cuckoo flowers, dog tooth, duck’s meat,
hyssop, herb mercury, mouse-ear, pearlwort, privet, purslain, rattlegrass, spunks,
wallflowers, white saxifrage, whitlow grass, wild wallflower, and wintergreen.
According to Goldstein-Jacobson, Luna also rules common vegetables and mild herbs.
6) Stones, gems, minerals: Her archetypal, traditional metal is silver; others of Her metals
are aluminum (the atomic or 7-number of which is 13), lithium (the Z-number of which
is 3), and selenium (because of its association with the Lunar goddess Selene). Any
ores of these or minerals incorporating those elements are also ruled by Her. So is the
viciously active gas fluorine and its compounds, since the Z-number of fluorine is 9,
another Lunar number. She also rules all milky or nacreous stones; any white, round
stone; any round stone which is half-white and half-black; or any other stone or gem
that by its form and color suggests the Moon in any of Her phases.
Liber 777 gives quartz, moonstone, pearl and crystal as precious stones associated
with Her. The first and last of these are ruled by Her because of their appearance as
well as their use in scrying, a Lunar activity; the second, because of its appearance;
and the third, because it is formed in the sea, in the oyster, both ruled by Luna. Coral
could also be considered to be a lunar stone, especially those varieties that are light in
color, because of its origin in the sea.
Kunz adds to the above the following stones: selenite, sarcophagus, white Arabian,
androdamas, silver-colored and tin-colored pyrite, and calatia.
7) Statues:

Koré; Persephone; Hekate (Crone aspect of Artemis); Hermes, the Greek God
Who is Lord of Crossroads and, often, associated with Hekate; Pallas Athena

Athena Her Matron aspect, and Medusa Her Crone or Battle aspect)
American: Father Time (the Moon rules function and timing in all astrological charts);
the Grim Reaper (the Moon signifies critical changes in astrological charts,
including death and other passages)

Heaven (analogous to both Kali and Medusa); Sofia, or Wisdom, the feminine
analog of the Holy Spirit; the Archangel Gabriel, Angel and Archangel of the
Moon, blowing the last Trump
