Info: Full Lunar eclipse and magic

Late on the evening of Thursday, May 15, 2003, a total eclipse of the Moon will be visible, weather permitting, throughout most of North and South America beginning at about 10:00 p.m. EDT.

The eclipse officially starts at 9:05 p.m. EDT, as the Moon crosses into the penumbra of the Earth (the faint shadowy outline it casts in space). The eclipse won't really be noticeable until the Moon enters the full shadow of the Earth (the umbra), a few minutes after 10:00 p.m. EDT.

Totality, the point where the Moon is completely covered by Earth's shadow, begins at 11:14 p.m. Totality ends at 12:07 a.m. EDT (May 16) and the umbral phase of the eclipse will end at 1:17 a.m. EDT (May 16).

This is a great site to show where you can view it in your area

Here is a website on what you can expect it to look like.

as relates to magic
quote
"Some people may sense a time of stillness, or hesitation during an eclipse . . . like the tiny glitter of time before a pendulum swings back after having swung all the way in one direction. This is the essence of an eclipse, and is a similar sensation to that felt within a magic circle. Equinoxes provide us with a time "between the worlds," or a window through which we can work magic. "

quote
"During a lunar eclipse, we experience what might be called a "micro month". The moon is full, then partially or completely hidden, and then visible again. Within just a few minutes, an energy similar to a complete cycle of full, waning, new/black (if it is a total lunar eclipse), waxing and full again.

In addition to this cyclical energy, we are aware of the Earth's presence. Her shadow falls across the Moon as she appears between the Moon and the Sun. This adds the unification of earth and lunar energy, reinforcing the sense of wholeness, completion and cycles of a lunar eclipse."

and of course as previously noted in other posts this is also Beltain and the moon is the flower moon.

Im researching fairies and the lunar eclipse but it is boggling to sift thru all the sites Laughing

The lunar eclipse

This is from dales email to me today

"
The only source of light was a full moon
above me. I saw a figure, a man I think, approaching in the distance. He was
still too far away to make out clearly. I felt a strange sense of urgency and
excitement mixed with apprehension as I watched him draw closer. Finally, just
as he was getting close enough to perhaps see his face, the moon suddenly went
dark, as if something blotted it out from the sky. In the darkness, I hear his
footsteps continue to approach, until I can tell that he must be right before
me, though I can't see a thing in the pitch blackness. I almost feel his warm
breath on his face as I see a very faint reddish glow sparkle into life where
his eyes should be. They get brighter and brighter, until they almost seem to
be aflame in the dark. [/quote]

well there is something gonna happen to Dale tonite for sure. He said he was gonna try and contact me....
