Moon-Phases

The Moon's phases are very important to many people in all walks of life, not just Witches. The waxing and waning of the Moon is said to have an effect on the tides of the sea as is linked to the female Goddess, Diana.

The Moon has 5 phases:

Waxing for 1st and 2nd quarters

Waning for 3rd and 4th quarters

Dark Moon or Crone Moon inbetween Old Moon and New Moon.

 

The Waxing Moon is good for getting positive experiences and gain and starting new projects, the Waning Moon is good for starting things that are to do with clearence, removal and banishment. It is unadvisable to start anything new under the Dark Moon as it is extremely unpredictable.

Many spells or cleansing of crystals, tools, etc, are often done during the phases around a Full Moon. The Moon is considered a very powerful force upon the Earth - it is our satilite and it's movements affects all of us - especially woman.

The Moon runs in a 4 weeks plus 7 days cycle and it is well worth getting either a Moon Phases poster, or infact getting a Witches Datebook from a bookshop. There is a review of one in the Library section. Another way of understanding the Moon is to keep a diary of your thoughts and experiences over 2 or 3 months - this gives you a feel for what happens to you and others around you and even the environment.
