Magick By The Moon

The phases of the moon and its cycles can impact the potency of spells/rituals and their successes. It can amplify the energy behind the intention of the spell! As Witches, we utilize the elemental forces, surrounding nature and intent for magick.
And of course, the moon.

The list below is what works for me in my path-

Dark Moon (no moon is visible)

Dark Moon is a night of stillness, contemplation and banishment. The best types of spellwork that should be done on the Dark Moon is banishment work or hex work. The Dark Moon is also ideal for all types of divination, as well as working with the departed.

New Moon (when the first crescent is visible, waxing to Full Moon)

The New Moon is when the very first crescent or sliver of the moon is visible. This is typically 1-2 nights after the Dark Moon.

The New Moon is the ideal time to begin spellwork that draws a life experience, physical possession or situations to you. This can be for love, money, health or personal development.
It is also the ideal time to begin a new venture, get married, apply for a job or embark on a journey. The same energetic attributes apply throughout the Waxing Moon, all the way up to the Full Moon.

Full Moon

The Full Moon is not only the most magically potent and powerful time of the month, but it is also the most physically stimulating. As the moon affects the ocean tides, so too does it affect our bodies and our emotions. This is the night that gives any spell the extra boost into manifestation. The Full Moon is best used to draw something into your life, such as love, financial prosperity or self-development. If you are choosing not to perform any magick on the night of the Full Moon, simply sitting under the moons rays and energetically absorbing the magnetism will reawaken and energize your spirit.

Waning Moon

As the moon wanes, the energy becomes particularly effective for ending various relationships, habits and overcoming hurdles. Whether you're having a difficult time leaving an unsuitable relationship or are trying to quit smoking, the Waning Moon is perfectly capable and willing to help you align with your greater good.

The Waning Moon reminds us of things yet to be done and that time is slipping away. Anxiety is usually heightened during this time, therefore self-care is especially important.

The rhythm of the moon and its pull is faintly palpable and just sitting with her nightly energy can be magical. Spend time alone in its beams and allow yourself to listen to the surrounding sounds and focus on the stillness. And always remember to trust in yourself!
