I watched the lunar eclipse

Not, y’know, for an hour. But for ten minutes, and then again for five, and so on, while going back inside to bake brownies and warm up.

I don’t believe I’ve ever done that before. I think it’s always been raining or four in the morning or something whenever the opportunity arose.

It was very beautiful. Words fail me. It was astonishing.

There’s no tradition in Wicca surrounding eclipses, but on a previous lunar eclipse I had a strong experience of Hecate.

    Me too. Ten minutes then five minutes. No brownies, but I was watching Sondheim, which offers some comfort.

    I’ve had a lot of bad luck with eclipses and have only managed to see a couple. Once again this time the eclipse was completely obscured by clouds. Enjoy your new range!

    I’m in New Jersey, and it was a clear, slightly damp & hazy night, but perfect for eclipse watching. My son Lucas and I were at the window every 15 minutes or so (in between I ran back to the TV to watch “Some Like It Hot”!). I charged some candles and crystals on the windowsill overnight; not sure what I’ll use them for, but it felt right.
