Moon Phases

Waning Moon


Moon is getting smaller, after the full moon. Use for magick that deals with making things less. Such as weightloss, sending something away, banishing and such. Any magick may be performed during this phrase.

New Moon


Sometimes called "no moon" or "black moon." Some religions say this moon is controlled by the god instead of the goddess. Only High priestess and high priest usually use this moon. It is very strong, commonly associated with negativity. Though this is a strong moon phase, some say it is best for love spells and the like you should only cast during this phase if you are trained in energy control and understand the use of magick. So try not to cast during this moon.

Waxing Moon


The crescent moon is now facing the other direction. The moon is becoming full once more. This moon is for making things more. Use this time for spells like money spells, making your hair grow and gaining life and friendships. Good time to use spells.

Full Moon

The full moon is a time for celebrations. This moon can be used by all that worship used for warmth and banishing. Feel free to express your emotions and to cast spells. The power of the goddess and the moon are with you on this night use it well. As long as you harm none do as thou wilst.

SPELLWORK BY LUNAR PHASE

The following is a list of different types of spellwork (arranged in alphabetical order), followed by the appropriate lunar phase/s during which each one should be performed. (If you are ever in doubt as to which phase of the moon is the correct one for a certain spell, I would recommend performing it on a night when the moon is full because this is the time when the power of magick is greatest.)
