When the safety of the hearthstone cites us to its blazing boundary, a blend of juniper, clove and orange, with its destructive and beneficent energies, spans Heaven and Earth to bring fire to our aid, burning away threats to produce the health-giving warmth of our aim. Associated with the Archangel Cassiel, whose name means “speed of God”, Raphael and Machaton, Fire Moon is primarily ruled by Cassiel. Ruler of the Seventh Heaven and the planet Saturn, Cassiel brings iron-handed boundaries and manifestation (quickly). Ruled by these Archangels are “contracts…correspondence” and fear (The Kabbalah & Magic of Angels, p. 181-4), effecting Fire Moon a decidedly fleet-footed aide in materializing the immediate end of disserving contracts, the realization of new commissions in lieu of the old and the accelerated actualization of ideas imagined. Together these Archangels rule the zodiac signs of Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius. The illnesses they rule include “arthrosclerosis…chronic colds…and the bones”, making this blend useful in the magical treatment of bone-related maladies, mobility issues and illnesses besetting in winter. Among Cassiel’s creatures resonating with Fire Moon are the bat and goat, great totems of fire energy that torches cellular and energetic garbage (goat) and the circumvention of threats (bat). Among the stones synchronizing with this blend are the smoky rutilated quartz (Cassiel) and proustite (Raphael), known for their abilities to promote practical organization, absorption of negative energies and help in combating viral, bacterial or fungal infections. Primarily increasing the element of fire, Fire Moon safely creates a circle of fire protection that energetically composts while bridging Heaven and Earth to open the manifestation channel. Strengthening the immune system, incinerating cords and eliciting truth are some of the strengths of this blend.
