Mother LUNA

As the phases of the moon affect nature, so do they

influence our magickal work.The different phases of the

moon have properties that can lend energies to your magickal

workings. If you are working toward a specific result,

find the associated phase of the Moon for aid.

Let the Moon be your magickal calendar!

New Moon

The New Moon is the time of beginnings. It is the period of

controlled energies and growth. This is a particularly powerful

time for Divination. It is a time of personal growth and healing.

Since the rising energy of the moon charges and amplifies

the energy placed in the spell, the three days after the New Moon

are the most powerful times to perform spells for growth and

beginnings, which should be realized at the Full Moon.

Spellwork:	Beauty, Health, Self-improvement, Gardening, Job Hunting

The night of the New Moon, when the Moon is totally dark,

is an extremely magickal and potent time. It is a time of

'between the worlds'.

Waxing Crescent Moon

This is a good time for constructive magick. This is magick for

increase. The Waxing Moon is associated with the Maiden, so

align associations with this aspect of the Goddess.

Full Moon

The Full Moon is a time for work that requires great force. The

Full Moon can be conjured for 7 days to 3 days prior, the night

of the Full Moon, and the 3 days following. Sometimes the effects

of conjuring done on the Full Moon take one full lunar cycle to

take hold, and come to completion. At this time, the other planes

can be influenced. The subconscious spheres of influence are

at their most active and receptive as well. The Full Moon

symbolizes the Mother aspect of the Goddess.

Full Moon magick should be performed just before the exact

time of the Full Moon. The 14th to 17 1/2 days are excellent days

for spellwork, prophecy, protection, and divination. Any spell that

requires extra power can be performed at this time.

Waning Moon

This is a good time for destructive magick. This is magick that

concerns endings of such things as bad habits, ways of life,

harassment, negative emotions. This is the time for banishment

and rejection of things that we no longer wish to have around us.

The Waning Moon represents the Crone aspect of the Goddess.

Dark Moon

The Dark of the Moon occurs over the 3 days before the New Moon.

At this time, the moon cannot be seen at all. No magick should be

performed at this time. Meditations and vision questing may be

performed at this time, but not for specific purposes.

This is an excellent time for introspection and exploring the dark

and hidden recesses of our emotions, and trying to understand

our anger, jealousy, dependency and addictions.Hecate rules

this time of the cycle. If you will require her assistance, this is

the time to request it.
