Nature has always held a profound connection with human spirituality and energy. Among the celestial phenomena that captivate our attention, the occurrence of a rare Blue Supermoon stands out as a mystical event that holds immense significance across various cultures and spiritual practices in the world. We're going to delve into the enchanting realm of the Blue Supermoon and explore how you can tap into her (we like to think of the moon here as a "She") unique & divine energy to charge your crystal jewellery, creating a potent fusion of natural and metaphysical energies.

A Blue Supermoon is an occurrence where two celestial events coincide, they are a "Blue Moon" and a "Supermoon." 

A Blue Moon refers to the second full moon within a single calendar month, a phenomenon that happens roughly every two to three years. It should be noted that the moon isn't actually "blue", despite its strange name, it comes from the fact that we have 2 full moons in one month. The US space agency NASA explains that the moon can only look blue if there are "lots of 1-micron particles (like smoke or ash) in the air". This could happen if extreme wildfires or volcanic eruptions blast lots of smoky debris into the atmosphere. With the temperatures we have been experiencing here in Lisbon and the forest fires, it most certainly could be the case that the moon will appear blue.

A Supermoon which takes place when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit results in a larger and brighter appearance in the night sky, approximately up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter to be exact. The moon will be about 222,043 miles away from us — nearly 17,000 miles closer than average which is why she will look bigger and brighter than the other full moons of this year. 

When these two events harmonize, they create a "Blue Supermoon" – a breathtaking celestial spectacle that infuses the night with an otherworldly glow. The energy of this event is said to be amplified, making it the perfect time for spiritual practices, rituals, and energy work.

Crystals have been used throughout history for their ability to store, amplify, and transmit energy. Many believe that crystals are conduits of Mother Earth's energy, each possessing its own unique properties that can affect our overall well-being on all physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Harnessing the energy of the moon to cleanse and charge crystals has been a practice in various cultures for centuries past. 

The moon, with its phases and energies, plays a pivotal role in this process. The full moon is often associated with a peak of energy – a time when the moon's light is at its fullest and most potent. This lunar energy can be harnessed to cleanse and recharge crystals, allowing them to release accumulated negativity and regain their natural vibrational frequencies.

The Blue Supermoon presents an extraordinary opportunity to charge your crystal jewellery by Xander Kostroma (or raw crystals) with powerful lunar energy. Follow the below steps to harness this energy and connect with the metaphysical properties of your crystals:

1. Choose the Right Crystals: Not all crystals are suitable for charging under the moonlight. Research the crystals you possess and understand their specific properties. For instance, Amethyst is known for spiritual insight and protection, while Rose Quartz embodies love and compassion. Both of these stones are perfect to charge under the moonlight.
2. Cleansing Preparations: Prior to charging, cleanse your crystals to ensure they are free from any lingering negative energy. You can use methods like smudging with sage or immersing them in salt water (ensure the crystals are safe to be submerged).
3. Setting Your Intention: Before placing your crystals under the moonlight, take a moment to set a clear intention for what energy you wish to infuse them with. Whether it's healing, protection, or creativity, your intention will guide the process.
4. Finding the Optimal Placement: Locate a spot where your crystal jewellery will receive direct moonlight. A windowsill, balcony, or garden are excellent choices. The energy of the Blue Supermoon will be at its peak during the night of the event.
5. Arranging Your Crystals: Arrange your crystal jewellery in a way that allows them to be bathed in moonlight. You can use a special cloth, a tray, or even a crystal grid if you're familiar with the practice.
6. Charging Ritual: On the night of the Blue Supermoon, place your crystals in the chosen spot. As you do so, you may choose to meditate, perform a simple grounding exercise, or merely express gratitude for the natural and cosmic energies converging upon your crystals.
7. Retrieve Your Charged Crystals: The next morning, retrieve your crystals and thank the moon for its energy. They are now cleansed, charged, and ready to work with you on your spiritual journey.

The belief in the interconnectedness of all things is the central pillar of many spiritual philosophies. This concept is echoed by the idea that the energy of the universe flows through all living and nonliving entities, and crystals are certainly by no means an exception; they are believed to be part of this universal energy web and are interconnected in the cosmos.

By charging your crystal jewellery under the Blue Supermoon, you are not only connecting with feminine lunar energy but also tapping into the broader cosmic energies at the same time whilst boosting your positive emotions filling your body with good energy.

While the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of charging crystals under the Blue Supermoon are deeply compelling, it's also fascinating to explore the scientific underpinnings of this practice. The moon's gravitational force affects the movement of all water on Earth. Considering that crystals can store and transmit energy in their lattice structures, the gravitational forces of the moon might also influence the energy flow within these crystals as well.

The Blue Supermoon's occurrence is a result of precise celestial mechanics, and its rarity adds to the intrigue. This synchronicity between the cosmic and the scientific underscores the richness of human experience and our connection with the universe.

It's worth noting that the last time a blue moon and a supermoon occurred in the same calendar month was back in December 2009 and the next time there will be an event like this will be in 2032 so take this opportunity now to re-charge and receive good.

Love,

Xander & Co.
