Moon Phase Magick

Full Moon:
Full Moon energy is used for banishing unwanted influences in your life; protection magick; and divination. Planning, releasing, and working backwards in time are done on the full moon as well. It is said that the best Full Moon magick can be conjured for seven days: the three days prior to the Full Moon, the night of the Full Moon itself, and three days after the Full Moon. Sometimes the results of Full Moon magick can take approximately one moon cycle to take hold and come to completion. The Full Moon is the time to invoke the Mother Goddess at the height of her glory; this is when the ceremony called “Drawing Down the Moon” is performed. During this ceremony the energy and essence of the Full Moon is drawn into oneself, when done properly you will feel a heightened trance state combined with a power surge that radiates through your whole body. Traditionally this is only done within a protective circle. The Mother is the ripeness of womanhood, her color is red, the color of blood and the life force.

New Moon:
The New Moon is used for personal growth, healing, the blessing of a new project or venture, etc. If done correctly, success should be obtained by the first Full Moon. This is the time when the Crone is transformed into the Maiden. It is a time of renewal and new beginnings. The Maiden is essential to the continuation of all life; her color is white, denoting innocence and newness. She is the springtime, the dawn, eternal youth and vigor, enchantment and seduction.

Dark Moon:
The three days before the New Moon is known as the dark of the moon. This is when you can’t see the moon at all in the heavens. Traditionally, this is a time when no magick is performed. It is a period to give yourself a break; a time of rest. Deep meditation and vision questing can be performed now, but not for a specific magickal purpose. However, The Crone, or the Dark Mother, rules this time, and if her magick is needed, now is the time when you should use it.

Waxing Moon:
The period between the New Moon and the Full Moon is called the Waxing Moon. This is a good time for attraction magick, especially between the New Moon and the First Quarter. The Waxing Moon is the time for invoking the Goddess in her guise of Maiden.

Waning Moon:
The period between the Full Moon and the New Moon is called the Waning Moon. This is a time for banishing and rejecting things in our lives that no longer serve us. Negative emotions, bad habits, diseases, and ailments can successfully be banished during this time. During the Waning Moon the Mother Goddess is transformed into the Crone. Invoke Her in this guise. The Crone, or Dark Mother, sometimes called the Hag, has black as her color, the color of darkness where all life rests before rebirth. This aspect of the Goddess is Winter, night, wisdom, counsel, the gateway to death and reincarnation, the Waning Moon.

 

Moonlight Candle Spell

Take a soothing milk bath to awaken your senses and the mind. Anoint yourself with Lunar Oil or your favorite magickal oil. Cast your circle and light one white candle placed within your cauldron filled with spring water. You will need a heavier pillar candle to be able to sit within the filled cauldron.
Gaze upon the flame dancing upon the water in your cauldron and state the following:

Great Lunar Mother
Teach me the ways of your healing light
Anoint me with your silver glow and cleanse my Soul anew
Grant me the power to change what thy will
Only with your white Lunar Magick
Great Lunar Mother known as many names
I honor you in this spell, please grant me your wisdom.
So Mote It Be

This is a wonderful spell or chant to use before or during any Moon Rituals or Spells. It can bring about a shift in your own consciousness to help you to go with the Ebb and Flow of the Sacred Moon.
