June 7, the dyad, honey or mead moon is associated with rose @-)--
and strawberries.
It is an esbat date, one of the lower celtic pagan wiccan ritual/holy days of the wheel of the year.
Time to ask for blessings and enact anything is possible to manifest!
A good time to balance body/mind..life

Dyad Moon Sacred Marriage of the God and Goddess. When all meet their opposites in perfect balance and in perfect harmony.
Let there be beauty strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence, within you."

What are your plans for these days if in ritual?

It is the harvest or wine moon and not the later blood moon of october before Samhain, as oct 4 is the first full moon after fall equinox. It is full tonight but officially tommorow at 0610 am it is the full moon. It is an odd moon, we will not have a late oct full moon until 2017, it will be at the end of september until then. The full moon can be celebrated during the 3 days of its most fullness. It rises early and is more golden and bright, for farmers to work in the field and harvest longer.

As tonight is saturday, power, control issues, protection or banishing would be best done tonight as well as reverance as it is the true judaeo-christian sabbath, with healing, divination and and magickal goals better for tommorow night: sunday oct 4 this year. These spells can be made stronger with an exact magical planetary hour.

As it is a harvest moon, workings that were done around the equinox on Mabon such as breadmaking would be appropriate or any other thanksgivings. As the wheel of the year is turning at this time protection for the winter on the family and house are appropriate..
It is always a good time for divination. But new starts for new magical projects that take time to develop and are less harsh are best done on the new moon and take effect by the full moon. However spells can be done at this time for full effect such as full on blast of healing.
During full moons I like to commune and let my goddess walk in during drawing down the moon. I will also consecrate my crystal ball with mugwort and look at it in the moonlight. My honey is making bread right now and it smells wonderful, a piece would make a good offering/sacrifice. Tommorow we will harvest the grapes and make wine.

Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky,
I ain't had no lovin'
Since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.

From Starhawks spiral dance equinox:

We have sown, we have tended
We have grown, we have gathered
We have reaped a good harvest
Lady, we thank you for your gifts
Lord, we thank you for your bounty
I thank you for [fill in yourself].

Do you still do Full Moon rituals? I may do something early in the AM late tonight.
