The moon is a feminine energy that rules the waters, a woman's cycles, emotions, and the sun sign Cancer. If you have Cancer as a dominant force in your chart, you will be more impacted by moon phases than other people.
There are four phases of the moon: New (or dark) moon, waxing moon, full moon, and waning moon. Check the chart on the right to see the current phase of the moon.
Here are their energies:
New Moon (also known as dark moon)
This is the period when you can't really see the moon at all. This is a great time for regeneration, meditation, or working on improving or empowering psychic abilities. The dark moon is a wonderful time for reading oracles.
Waxing Moon
In between dark moon and full moon is the waxing moon. Each night the moon gets bigger, making it a good time to work on those things that require growth. Think increase in all positive things like health, money and relationships.
Full Moon
The full moon occurs when the moon is round and full. Use this moon time for amplifying your intent. This is a powerful moon energy, use it wisely.
Waning Moon
When the moon is between full and dark you will find the period of the waning moon. Because the moon is getting smaller, it's a good time to practice any rituals for ridding self of bad habits, bad relationships, bad jobs.
By the light of a full moon, take a silver ring and wrap it in a clean white cloth. Dig a small hole and bury the ring inside. While focusing on the kind of lover you are looking for and pouring a small amount of wine (or milk) over the earth recite these words:
Blessed Mother fair and true
This Gift I offer unto You
Bless this ring and make it shine
Bring a lover to be mine
So Mote it Be!
Leave the ring buried until the next full moon, then dig it up and wear it. If your lover is near, he/she will be drawn to you.
Spells
A spell to stop an argument between you and another or to change their feelings of aggravation...................
YOU WILL NEED:
1 glass plate - purple in color. (deep purple if possible)
1 picture of the person. (Polaroid is best but not necessary)
Place the picture face down on the plate for no more than 15 minutes at a time. If you don't have a Polaroid, you need to have the negative of the picture handy, so you'll know where it is.
The person will either call or come by with offers of apology in no more than 24 hours. If they do not, do a treatment again for no more than 15 minutes. If by the 3rd treatment you still haven't heard from them try to give them a call or go see them because their feelings will have changed.
You will need 1 small, handheld mirror, 3 candles, rose oil, patchouli incense and a little privacy.
Select one color for the strongest effect, or mix and match to get a bit of each:
Red if you are going for sex appeal
Silver if you want to be the center of attention and display star-quality charisma
Orange if you are going for general attractiveness and likeability.
On a night when the moon is full, find a secluded outdoor spot. Light your incense and your three candles. Disrobe and anoint the parts of your body you would like to change with the rose oil. For example, if you think your feet are too big, anoint the tops of each foot. If you are going for an all over make-over, then anoint your forehead, your breast bone, the center of your belly, each wrist and behind each knee. Pass the mirror through the smoke of the incense, then raise it over your head, reflective surface facing the moon.
Recite:
Wood and Wind, Ember and Mist
Grant your blessed child's wish
Sacred Mother charge this mirror
Let your light make beauty clearer
Wrap it in your gentle glow
So that tis all it ever shows.
Lower the mirror and gaze into it. Visualize the way you wish to look, and how you want others to see and react to you. Repeat the following:
As a blossom in your glade
Let my beauty never fade.
Now, use the mirror's reflective surface to shine the moonlight on the place(s) you would like to make more pleasing to the eye. When you are done, wrap the mirror in a dark cloth and keep it safe. If the mirror is ever broken, so also will be the spell. Snuff the candles, dress and let the incense burn out.
For an extra boost, like before a big date, business meeting or audition, annoint yourself again with rose oil and spend 10 minutes gazing into the mirror. While doing so, focus on the things you find attractive about yourself and the things you want others to see when they look at you.
Tools:
One candle at each compass point
Athame
Cast the circle
Invoke the God and Goddess
Statement of intent : "On this night, I invoke the powers of fire to protect me from all that would harm me, whether physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually."
Start at the south. Light the candle, shouting: "Nothing from the West can harm me!"
Imagine the flame creating a wall of protection on that side of you.
Move West, light the candle and shout: "Nothing from the West can harm me!"
Again, with each candle you light, imagine the wall around you growing in power and intensity
North, light the candle and shout: "Nothing from the North can harm me!"
East, light the candle, shouting: "Nothing from the East can harm me!"
Hold up the Southern candle to the sky, shouting: "Nothing from above can harm me!"
Place it back on the earth, shouting: "Nothing from below can harm me!"
Sit in the center of the circle, watching the candles burn. Know that the fires are burning away all evil and harm that comes your way.
Meditate on the flames and feel their power forming a shield around you - a shield you can erect anytime you feel threatened.
Have Cakes and ale (eating bread and drinking wine or juice to restore energies spent during ritual)
Release the circle
Thank the Goddess and God for their protection and presence in your circle
Go to each of the four directions in turn, saying:
"Guardians of the East (South, West, North),
Powers of Air (Fire, Water, Earth),
I thank you for joining in my circle
And I ask for your blessing as you depart
May there be peace between us now and forever.
Blessed be."
Used to neutralize the power of those who intend to do you physical harm, or hurt your reputation, or in any way pose a threat to your security.
You will need:
4 tbsp Frankincense or Myrrh
4 tbsp Black powdered Iron
4 tbsp Sea Salt
4 tbsp Orris-root Powder (or oak moss)
1 white candle
1 bottle with a cork or lid
Mortar and pestle
Parchment Paper
Black Ink or black ballpoint pen
Black thread
Mix the sea salt, orris-root powder, and the iron in a bowl. Then cut a piece of parchment to fit inside your bottle and write on it with black ink:
I neutralize the power of (name of adversary) to do me any harm.
I ask that this be correct and for the good of all.
So mote it be!
Roll up the parchment, tie it with a black thread to bind it, and place it in the bottle. Fill the bottle with the dry ingredients. Then take the white candle and while turning the bottle counterclockwise, drip the wax over the cork to seal it. Last, secretly bury the bottle in a place where it will not be disturbed and no animals or people will dig it up. This spell is like a genie in a bottle. It should never be unleashed or the power of the spell is lost.
