Vine Moon

The Vine Moon rules the Celtic Tree Month of the Grape Vine Tree and goes from Septembeer 2 to Sept. 29

The Vine Moon coincides with the Autumnal Equinox, when the bounty of the harvest is celebrated. Fruits and wines are central to the holiday feast, and a portion is always sacrificed to the God and Goddess, whose uninon produced the harvest. The Vine Moon's energies are also used for seeking the blessing of inspiration from the dieties

You will need wine or fruit juice, an apple (symbolic of wisdom and sacred to the Crone Goddess, who rules in Autumn) a shapr knif, and a long pin or nail. Make a wine toast to the God and Goddess, offering it as a gift to them. Visualize the God and Goddess filling the wine with the essence of unity. Take the knife and slice the apple crosswise to reveal the five pointes pentacram inside. Pour some of the wind into the center of the apple, and reseal the apple with the pin. Keep it through autumn as a talisman to draw both wisdom and divine inspiration.
