Moon Magick & The Tidal Pull

"The Sun sees your body, sugar, but the Moon sees your soul. She is the great mirror. If you want to know when to plant the seed and when to harvest the fruit, you watch Her face."

⏳ Spell Casting Timing

🌑 New Moon (Dark Moon)
Best for: New beginnings, setting intentions, cursing, banishing (during the dark hour), shadow work. It is the void where seeds are planted.

🌓 Waxing Moon (Growing)
Best for: Attraction spells, money growth, love spells, healing, "bringing things to you." As she grows, so does your power.

🌕 Full Moon
Best for: Everything. High energy, charging crystals, divination, clarity, protection. If you need a big push, do it now.

🌗 Waning Moon (Shrinking)
Best for: Releasing, weight loss, breaking habits, cleansing, decluttering, sending things away.

💧 Moon Water 101

How to Brew:

Get a glass jar (plastic is okay, but glass is cleaner).
Fill it with filtered water (or rain water if you nasty/wild).
Set it out under the Full Moon light. It doesn't need to be outside if you can't; a windowsill works.
Vital: Retrieve it before the sun touches it the next morning. If the sun hits it, the energy changes.

How to Use:

Add to your bath for a spiritual soak.
Water your plants to give them a boost.
Clean your altar or mop your floors (add a splash to the bucket).
Drink it (if the water was potable!) for clarity.

📜 Prayers to the Night Mother

A Chant for the Full Moon:

"Mother of Silver, Mother of White,
Lend me your mirror, lend me your light.
As the tide pulls the ocean to shore,
Bring me abundance and open the door.
So mote it be."

A Prayer for the Dark Moon (Hecate):

"Lady of the Crossroads, Walker in the Dark.
I stand at the threshold.
Take what no longer serves me.
Eat the rot so the new may grow.
I fear no shadow, for I am your kin."
