Choosing when to cast a spell does NOT need to be complicated. If you feel like casting a spell, then do it. However, many people feel that spells are more powerful when they cast them [spells] during certain moon phases or moon signs, and even during specific days of the week. This is because various planetary energies are believed to be more available for use during this time and those energies can add power to your own.



Phases of The Moon

To use lunar phase energy to enhance your spells just follow this simple rule. To draw something to you, cast your spell any time between three days after the new moon to the full moon, with the full moon being the best. I find that spells using spell scripts are best performed closest to the full moon.

To send something away from you, or for binding spells, cast your spell anytime between three days after the full moon to the new moon, with the day of the new moon being the best. I find that astral magic, dream work, and active meditation works best closer to the new moon.
