Full Moon in Virgo - Osiris Rising
Total Lunar Eclipse & Star Alignment of Bellatrix in Orion
Ritual written* and led by Janine Donnellan(February 15, 2008)
This Full Moon is in Virgo and will assist greatly with healing and being of service which is polarized by the Sun in Pisces. The cosmic flow of divine energy from this full moon is one to assist humanity out of their fears and the consequent disharmony caused by this. This full moon will also illuminate the beauty that lies within, that your body is Liquid Light Plasma and your temple. When honoured and loved you will experience all the joys of embodiment, you will go beyond all limitations and fears and you will become One with all creation.
A star alignment is when the star or star constellation in question is aligned back into the earth plane in harmony with us. During the time of the lunar eclipse there will be a star alignment with Bellatrix, 'the Conqueror' which is in the constellation of Orion, the saucepan in the sky, a very familiar sight to the Southern hemisphere sighted all year round and in the Northern hemisphere sighted as the Hunter. Orion has a very strong connection with Earth and to the Ancient Egyptians was the star system the eternal pharaoh returned to. Osiris the Pharaoh/God, who was tricked by Seth and cut into parts that were then gathered back again by Isis/Sirius his sister/wife and unified.
At our full moon ceremony we will be calling upon Osiris & Isis to aid us in the process of gathering our fragments and embracing all dark and light within us in divine love. This process will bring about a healing and a new understanding of our unified divinity.
Hexagram (Star of David): The six-pointed star is found throughout the world. It was referred to as the "Seal of Solomon". This star is based on an occult Hebrew text called the Kabbalah.
Beyond the Kabbalistic interpretation, the hexagram has had a long history of occult usage going back the Egyptian mystery religion. Throughout this time the meaning of the Star of David has always remained the same -- it represents the cosmic union of good and evil, of light and darkness, of destruction and creativity. Freemasonry uses it to portray the male and female generative powers of the universe and Rosicrucians embrace the symbol for its esoteric properties. Other western occult societies claim that rituals which incorporate the Star of David are extremely potent. And within witchcraft the hexagram is viewed as having a high degree of magic and of being one of its most important emblems.

Activity: Writing the things you want to bring into your lives in the three sections of the body diagrams handed out (legs/abdomen - physical; chest/arms - emotional; head - spiritual). Then cutting the paper "bodies" into the three sections to represent going through a process of dismembering. All the pieces are then collected by Isis and placed in a box.
Osiris Rising Meditation
Isis goes around the circle randomly handing the parts back to each person, and after some contemplation of the different parts received and the things listed on them, everyone will then go around the circle to retrieve their own parts, which are to be kept until the actual full moon (21/2/08) and burned on the night to release those energies.
