New Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at dawn and sets at
sunset. For the best use of this energy, magick should be performed
between dawn and sunset. This is not to say that you cannot work at
night. However, to get the most punch for your magick, choose the
correct timing. Also check the planetary hours to give added power to
the working. |
| Conjuring: |
New Moon workings can be done from
the day of the new moon to 3 1/2 days after. Naturally, the closer you
are to the new moon, the better your chances of success. Your work
should manifest by the full moon or the next new moon. If it does not,
repeat the working. Things to work for include: Beauty, Health,
Self-Improvement, Farms and Gardens, Job Hunting, Love and Romance,
Networking. |
| Meditations: |
Work on bringing abundance into
your life. Picture the harmony you desire, the current needs you have.
Make a mind movie about how you want both short- and long-term goals
to manifest. Concentrate also on parts of yourself (body, mind, or
spirit) that need regeneration. |
Crescent Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at mid-morning and
sets after sunset. The crescent's greatest strength would be at the
midpoint. Check an almanac for exact timing. |
| Conjuring: |
This phase lasts from 3 1/2 days
after the new moon through the seventh day. You can do some minor
magicks each day to enhance your goals and projects. Things to work
for include: Animals, Business, Change, Emotions, Matriarchal
Strength. |
| Meditations: |
Continue to work on your mind
movie for the manifestation of goals and projects. |
First Quarter (Waxing Moon)
Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at noon and sets at
midnight. Sunset is the primetime for waxing moon magick. Dusk is
auspicious for fairies and their energy. Altars devotions and
offerings for the fairy folk in return for a favor work especially
well during this moon phase. |
| Conjuring: |
Moon is from 7 to 10 1/2 days
after the new moon. Check the planetary hours for spellworking or
additional ritual performance. Do rituals for: Courage, Elemental
Magick, Friends, Luck, Motivation. |
| Meditations: |
Meditate upon Gods and Goddesses
of strength and success in pathworking exercises. Continue to use the
mind movie. Instinct and intuition are valuable assets during this
time. Program your mind both in and out of meditation to take
advantage of these gifts. |
Gibbous Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at mid-afternoon
and sets about 3:00 a.m. This is a wonderful time for workings around
10 or 11 p.m. |
| Conjuring: |
The moon is 10 1/2 to 14 days
after the new moon. Work for: Patience |
| Meditations: |
Continue your mind movie to bring
small or large goals closer to you. Mentally prepare yourself for the
full moon energy yet to come. |
Full Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at sunset and sets
at dawn, therefore a midnight working (or when the moon is directly
overhead) is best. |
| Conjuring: |
The moon is from 14 to 17 1/2 days
after the new moon. Work for: Artistic Endeavors, Beauty, Health and
Fitness, Change and Decisions, Children, Competition, Dreams,
Families, Healing, Knowledge, Legal Undertakings, Love and Romance,
Money, Motivation, Protection, Psychic Powers, Self-Improvement. |
| Meditations: |
Meditations involving prophecy and
power in occult skills should be done now. Dream work is at its
height. Keep a notebook by your bed to record those important
messages. |
Disseminating Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at mid-evening and
sets at mid-morning. The time of souls (3 a.m.) would be the midpoint
here. Check planetary correspondences if you aren't inclined to
wakefulness in the wee hours of the morning. |
| Conjuring: |
The moon is 3 1/2 to 7 days after
the full moon. Workings should be focused upon: Addiction, Decisions,
Divorce, Emotions, Stress, Protection. |
| Meditations: |
Meditations involve removal of
outmoded thoughts, bad habits, or anything that bothers you. Continue
to work on thoughts of abundance and joy in your life. Keep working on
that mind movie for short- and long-term goals. |
Last Quarter (Waning Moon)
Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at midnight and
sets at noon. |
| Conjuring: |
The moon is 7 to 10 1/2 days after
the full moon. Work involves: Addictions, Divorce, Health and Healing
(banishing disease), Stress, Protection. |

disentangle yourself from sticky situations, bad interpersonal
affairs, healing (with regard to banishing illness), and removing bad
habits. Again, keep working on the mind movie for short- and long-term
goals. Reaffirm the positive things in your life. |
Dark Moon Magick
| Timing: |
The moon rises at 3:00 a.m. and
sets at mid-afternoon. Despite the oddity, around 10:00 a.m. is the
strongest pull of the dark moon. |

Moon is 10 1/2 to 14 days after
the full moon. Workings involve: Addictions, Change, Divorce, Enemies,
Justice, Obstacles. Quarrels, Removal, Separation, Stopping Stalkers
and Theft. |
| Meditations: |
Reach within yourself to pull out
unwanted thoughts or desires. Examine them and dismiss them. Continue
the mind movie for positive workings in your life. |
Lunar Eclipses
There are two types of
lunar eclipse:
1. Partial Eclipse
2. Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon
You will need a Planetary Guide to check
dates and times during the year when these two occur. Choose long term goals
you wish to work on well ahead of these events. Eclipses represent the perfect
union of sun and moon, therefore practically any type of magick is acceptable.
Moon Void of Course
The rule of thumb is to avoid doing
anything important while the moon is void of course. If what you have done
during this period works, consider yourself lucky.
Before the moon enters a new sign (Leo,
Virgo, Cancer, etc.), there is a sort of dead space. The best way to explain
this is through Wiccan terms. The moon is between the worlds, in a time that
is not a time, in a space that is not a space--it is in a celestial void where
neither positive or negative energies behave as they normally do. To make this
circumstance more irritating, it never lasts the same length of time. For
example it could last only ten minutes, or as much as a day and a half. It
isn't a phenomenon you can set your watch by, so you need to check either a
planetary datebook or pocket astrologer.
The effects of the void moon vary. Some
people manifest scattered energy, or that "I don't feel like myself
today" position. Decisions have a habit of bordering on the illogical.
Individuals under psychological counseling or drug therapy swing toward the
irrational. Of course, those who need counseling and refuse to get it move
toward more violent behaviors. The general rule during this time revolves
around stuff you shouldn't do:
Don't do magick
Don't make major decisions
Don't make major purchases
Don't begin or complete any magickal operations
Don't make any major repairs
The void of course moon is a good time for relaxation and more spiritual
pursuits, such as studying or taking a walk in the woods. It is like a cosmic
time-out and can be very advantageous if used properly
