Tonight we held an esbat preparing for the lunar eclipse tomorrow night. We played drums and chanted to raise power. The drumming went particularly well this time. We directed the power into stones that will be set out during the eclipse later. These included malachite, lapis, and moonstone. They were held in a dish shaped like the head of a blue horse, another lunar symbol. When the stones (and other objects near them) are set out during the eclipse, they will absorb that energy, and can later be used to access it during rituals.
