Moon Phase Guide For Magic

Magic Moon Phase Guide For All Your Spell Workings

The Moon is a very powerful body, and much energy can be harnessed and harvested from it. It is a mysterious and magnificent being. The moon can charge us with extra energy if we need it, and if we ask for it.

For magic purposes, the moon is used for all kinds of spells and rituals. The various phases give various amounts of energy and frequency for us to use for our workings; whatever those workings may be.

The moon can give you a boost of power if you choose to harness that power, so you want to choose your moon phase wisely or else you may end up getting a spell that backfires because you harnessed the wrong polarity of energy from the moon.

This is a simple moon phase guide as to which moon phase is best for the different types of spells. It is generalized as for type of spell, not for specific spells. The spells you perform are up to you, this is simply a guide if you wish to do your magic by moon phase.

Moon Phases

New Moon – dark, unlit moon; the new moon phase is the start as well as the end of the cycle for the moon phases.

Waxing Crescent – the portion of the moon that is lit is in the shape of a crescent; this moon phase is also sometimes referred to as a Waxing Quarter because roughly one-quarter of the moon is visible at this time. Waxing Crescent is when the moon is on its way to becoming a Full Moon.

First Quarter – also referred to as Waxing Half, this moon phase is where half of the visible side of the moon is lit and is making its way to becoming a Full Moon.

Waxing Gibbous – this moon phase is sometimes referred to as a Three-Quarter Waxing moon because roughly three-quarters of the moon is lit as the moon heads to becoming a Full Moon.

Full Moon – a Full Moon is when the entire visible moon is lit bright; the Full Moon is the halfway point in the moon phase cycle.

Waning Gibbous – this moon phase is also sometimes called Three-Quarter Waning moon, and is when roughly three-quarters of the moon is lit after passing the point of Full Moon on its way to returning to the New Moon.

Last Quarter – also referred to as Waning Half, this moon phase is when half of the moon is lit during the cycle of returning to a New Moon.

Waning Crescent – the portion of the moon that is lit during the Waning Crescent moon phase looks like a crescent in the sky; also referred to as Dark Moon or Waning Quarter as the crescent is roughly one-quarter of the moon lit as it returns in the cycle to being a New Moon.
