On September 7, 2025, a rare and powerful celestial event is set to unfold. The total lunar eclipse, popularly known as a Blood Moon, will last approximately 82 minutes of totality. This striking lunar dance will paint the Moon in haunting shades of red as Earth cast its shadow, filtering sunlight through the atmosphere.
This eclipse is also known as the Corn Moon, the traditional name for every full Moon in September, and in 2025, it takes on even more gravity with its dramatic eclipse. The grand spectacle will grace skywatchers across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia with its presence, marking a globally visible moment of celestial convergence.

The Dual Dimensions: Science Meets Myth
Scientific Wonder
Astronomically, Blood Moons occur when Earth completely blocks the Sun’s light, and only the longer, red wavelengths of sunlight refract into Earth's shadow and touch the lunar surface, which creates the crimson glow. This particular eclipse stands out for its lengthy totality and broad visibility, making it truly a sight to behold.
Spiritual Resonance
Across cultures and traditions, lunar eclipses and Blood Moons evoke powerful symbolism:
In Hindu culture, eclipses like this one hold deep cultural and spiritual weight, especially when aligned with sacred periods such as Pitru Paksha, a time for honoring ancestors.
Norse, Inca, Mesopotamian, and Chinese mythologies feature lunar eclipses as cosmic battles or omens, wolves devouring the Moon, jaguars attacking, or dragons consuming the lunar body The Pagan Grimoire Wikipedia.
In more esoteric circles, the Blood Moon signifies transformation, shadow work, release, and rebirth, a potent time for karmic reset and facing inner truths The Pagan Grimoire The Seasonal Soul Janet Rae Orth.
Astrologically, this eclipse lands in Pisces, weaving a tapestry of spiritual depth, intuition, emotional release, and dreamy transcendence, inviting a surrender to fluid, unseen forces astrosofa.com Janet Rae Orth.
Taken together, science and spirituality frame this Blood Moon as a cosmic reset, where hidden patterns collapse and inner clarity emerges through the crimson veil.
Turning the Blood Moon’s Energy into Personal Magic
Amid this powerful eclipse energy, charged with endings, revelations, and transformation, there exists a sweet spot for ritual: magical knots. Crafting knots allows you to capture lunar energy for later use, weaving magic into tangible form.
Why Magical Knots?
Knots have long been used as energetic vessels, pinning intentions, spells, or protective energies into physical form. During this Blood Moon, when energy peaks and shadow work intensifies, they become anchoring tools, transforming ephemeral cosmic pulses into enduring support.
Ritual: Crafting Magical Knots to Preserve Blood Moon Energy
Materials You’ll Need:
Cord or ribbon- (natural fiber like silk, cotton, or hemp)—choose a color resonant with your intention (deep red or black for release, silver or white for clarity).
A small crystal- such as garnet, bloodstone, obsidian, or smoky quartz (aligned with Blood Moon correspondences).
A candle- (red or white), matches or lighter.
A quiet, moonlit spot—ideally outdoors, where you can observe the eclipse, or indoors with lunar-themed decor or music.
Steps:
Ground & Set Intention- Begin by sitting quietly and breathing deeply. Tune into the eclipse’s energy, imagine Earth’s shadow enfolding you, revealing what’s hidden. State your intention clearly: Are you releasing fears? Seeking transformation? Write it softly on paper if needed.
Light the Candle- This flame symbolizes illumination in the darkness. Gaze into it and bring awareness to what needs release or what truth you wish to anchor.
Charge Your Crystal- Hold your crystal close, raise it under the blood-tinted Moon (or candlelight, if indoors), and affirm your intent. Feel the lunar energy coursing through it.
Tie the First Knot — Release: Holding the cord, tie a deliberate knot while visualizing the emotion, habit, or thought you wish to shed being 'tied off' and removed from your spirit. You might whisper: “With this knot, I release….”.
Tie the Second Knot — Anchor: Form another knot, this one anchoring your new intention, whether clarity, healing, or transformation. Speak: “With this knot, I anchor….”
Embed the Crystal- If the cord allows, slip the crystal into a loop or enfold it with the knots. It becomes the heart of your charm, amplified by lunar memory.
Seal with Lunar Blessing- Raise the knotted cord toward the Moon (or the candle), and say a personal blessing: “Moon of Blood, seal this knot with your transformative fire; let change be lasting, let clarity abide.”
Stow & Return Later- Keep the magical knot safe, on your altar, in a sacred box, or tucked beneath your pillow. Whenever you need support, hold it close and reawaken its energy.
