The Moon of the Wand-Maker 滿月魔杖
The full moon in Aries represents the divine impulse that inspires creativity. Artistic skills are often a solitary pursuit, as much a matter of self-development as of honing talents. Aries is the sign of the quest, the spark that initiates a personal mission in life. Artists in the Craft may choose to dedicate talents as a form of dedicate talents as a form of Sacred Artistry. Wand – Makers are excellent examples of the sacred arts because thy not only make wands, they charge and dedicate the finished tool, preparing it for service.
當滿月出現在牡羊座時，將激發出神聖而熱烈的創造力。追求藝術的旅途往往都是孤獨的，面對的各項挑戰都代表磨練與突破、最後使你獨一無二。牡羊座的關鍵句是「追尋」，而在追尋的過程中激發出生命的火花。工藝師會選擇適當的客戶製造專屬他個人的成品，並在裡面融入某種神聖的藝術特色。「魔杖」就是個很好的例子；因為製作魔杖並不是單純做個手杖而已，而是用心雕琢、而且交貨後還要持續提供適當的服務。
While the last three full moons have emphasized service and sympathy, this one highlights blazing individuality. Each person has a unique mix of talents and skills, and the cove benefits when those skills are shared.
10、11、12月這三個月份的滿月將使你更加願意奉獻與同理心，並且用熾熱積極的表達方式顯露出來；雖然每個人都有不同的長處與特質，但當大家都做出自己最擅長的部份時，正好互相補足一切缺失。
A solitary may choose to make an altar cloth, a candleholder, or a wand for this full moon ritual, or decorate a prefabricated item like an athame, a grimoire, or ritual clothing. Consecrate the item by the four elements. And dedicate it to magical use. Likewise, a coven ritual could feature similar activities or handmade ritual items members may also announce and dedicate a specific talent or project at a favored deity, and ask for blessings.
請準備自己個人專用的滿月祭壇。你可以自己選擇適合的布毯、燭臺、魔杖，再加上你喜歡的裝飾品，譬如精緻的刀刃、魔法書、或儀式專用的禮服。當然，若能包含四大元素的各種象徵物品自然是更好。同樣的，魔法師也可以在這天舉辦聚會儀式，儀式將會以某種特定能力或專長為主題，並祭拜施予此能力的天神，最後大家互相祝福。
