The season of harvest has begun, and tonight’s Full Corn Moon promises to be a time of plenty and abundance. Pull a little of that first harvest energy into your Full Moon celebration tonight and rejoice in the fertility and bounty of the Earth. This quick Full Moon ritual would be appropriate for either closing up a group ritual or working by yourself. Consider setting up your altar with green and gold candles, ears of corn, and fresh sunflowers (these blossoms promote wealth and fame). Green herbs from the garden would add a touch of herbal magic, too. Try spearmint to promote prosperity, basil for love, lavender for protection, and arrange some pretty and fragrant yellow roses for friendship. When your ritual is done, send everyone home with a rose as a token or if you worked solitary, just enjoy the bouquet. Happy August Esbat!

Tonight we/I celebrate the Full Corn Moon,
May the Lord and Lady Grant us/me a boon.
In this season of plenty
Grant us/me prosperity,
By the magic of nature and Bound with three times three.
