Moon Magick

The practice of Moon Magick unfolds through our alignment with the natural rhythm of the moon's cycle:

~Full Moon: Time to shine & share what we're experiencing & doing. 

• Full Moon is a traditional time for social gatherings, festivals & rituals. 
• The outward pull is at its strongest & invites us to be wild & free; to sensually participate in creation & howl at the moon.
• Instincts are heightened & life force is activated. In order to surf the wave & use the energy for our benefit we need to stay balanced, heart-centered & grounded.
• Full Moons are strongly linked to relationships, love, romance & passion. 
   

~Waxing Gibbous: Time to nurture & support whatever we want to create or change. 

• Its time to bring in resources, communicate & act with clarity & a strong sense of commitment. 
  ​​​​​​​

~First Quarter: Time to plant seeds & set intentions. 

• The outward pull increases. A good time to take action, make decisions, formulate goals, & move forward. 
  ​​​​​​​

~Waxing Crescent: Time to dream & explore new potential. 

• Open to inspiration & ideas, we envision what's possible for us & how to move forward.
• At this stage the impulses are observed & held but not yet fixed or translated into action. 
  ​​​​​​​

~New Moon: Time to rest up & let go of all that no longer serves us. 

• The New Moon bring renewal & regeneration, but first we need to empty ourselves.
• The inward pull is at its strongest & invites us to look deep into our inner world & acknowledge both shadow & light. 

~Waning Crescent: Time to integrate. 

• Assess what's essential, what needs to be kept & treasured & what needs to be released. Reflection & thanks-giving. 
  ​​​​​​​

~Last Quarter: Time to harvest. 

• Celebrate what has grown, changed & manifested since the First Quarter. The inward pull slowly increases again. 
  ​​​​​​​

~Waning Gibbous: Time to complete & to keep going. 

• This time is ideal to tie up the lose end of our projects. Discipline might be required to master, ripen, & bring to fruition that which we are working with. Right priorities & focus are required & a sense of satisfaction starts to arise from each completed step.
