Moon Phase Magic

Moon Phase Magic

You can do magic any time, any day, but sometimes you'd like a little bit of a lunar boost! Here's how the phases of the moon can match the intentions of your magic.

Full Moon: Great for manifesting, divination, and psychic ability. If you work with spirits or deities this phase can help boost your signal, so to speak.

Waning Gibbous: Helps with cleansing, protection and detoxing. If you're trying to get rid of some bad energy or place a protection spell on you house, this phase can help you out! Setting intentions to let go of things is also suggested during this phase.

Last Quarter: Great for breaking habits and abandoning bad situations. Sometimes we have to leave, if you need a bit of extra strength to do it, this moon phase could help you.

Waning Crescent: Good for release, surrender, and introspection. Sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses. Allow yourself to be still and let this phase give you some calm in the midst of chaos.

New Moon (or Dark Moon): This phase works best for cleansing, banishing magic, and shadow work. Similar to the last three, the new moon can give you that push you need to do the dirty work you need to succeed. We all have shadows, are you ready to face yours?

Waxing Crescent: Creation, imagination, and attraction are on "high" during this phase. Start to sew the seeds of new projects or ideas during this time.

First Quarter: Manifesting change and strength is a good idea during this phase of the moon. There are things that need changing, but it's not always easy, so allow this phase to give you the boost you need to change.

Waxing Gibbous: Best for motivation. determination and energy. You need to get things done? This phase can give you the energy to act. Your willpower and knowledge will help you succeed, but a little lunar love wouldn't hurt!

When using the moon in magic, make sure you thank our magnificent celestial being for helping you out. She works very hard and deserves a lot of gratitude from us!

A/N: Since this is my digital grimoire it is subject to my own opinions. The information here is what I've gathered after a lot of reading and learning from various other pagans and witches. However, If you feel that a moon phase is different for you then by all means don't let me change your mind!

Samhain is my favorite time of the year

WITCH TIP #1

Need to charge your crystals but don’t know if the ones you have can be put in the sun?

Put them in a bowl of salt!!

This acts as a double point system, purifying/cleansing your crystal, as well as giving it a little boost of energy!

Altars

To start off with, I just want to say that you don't need to have an altar if it doesn't feel right to you. As well as this, your altar doesn't have to be big or fancy, if you want it to be you can make it that way though.

Over the past few days I have been working to make my altar over, so that it fits what I want more than it did before. Some recent additions I have made are a shelf, an altar cloth and some more candles. Its still not completely finished and I'll probably keep rearranging it over the next little while.

But for now, here it is:

And here is a list of some of the things I have on it:

Some ribbon (Ostara is coming up in the southern hemisphere)

Salt

Water

Candles

Incense

Dried flowers

Dried sage

Crystals

Sticks

An owl statue

Burn dish

Jar of spring flowers

There is also a box with herbs and other things inside.

I still haven't fully decided what I will put on the shelf, but with time I'm sure I'll work it out. But that's besides the point.

When it comes to creating/decorating your altar, what goes on it and what doesn't is really up to you. If you think you should have a stick on your altar, have a stick on your altar.

Here are some things you could have on your altar:

Dried Flowers

Sigils

Artwork

Photos

Runes

Thats it for now, I hope everyone has a fantastic day! 🌻
