MOON PHASES

                         Being aware of each moon phase is very important when dealing
                                        with magick, different kinds of magick can be performed.
 
 

                             Waxing Moon-Means that the Moon is getting larger in the sky, moving from
                              the new moon to the full moon. This is the time to do spells that attract. Such as
                              love, health, luck. During this time when using candle magick, when you anoint
                              your candle,  work from each end of the candle towards the middle. In this way
                              you are attracting and gathering the energy needed to do the spell.
 

                       Full Moon-This is the time that the moon has reached a full and perfect sphere.
                              at this time any magick that is performed will have more power. If there is
                              something special that you have wanted to do well now is the time to do it!
                             Just being outside and  gazing at the moon you can feel its pull on you. Breath
                             in the magick it offers. Doing your magick under a full moon would give it
                             more energy, but for those of us that live in a colder climate for half the year
                            this isn't always an option! This is also a good time to do spells for self-
                            improvement, doing psychic work and fertility.

                            Again if you are doing candle magick, anoint the candle from both ends to the
                            middle.
 
 

                       Waning Moon-This is the time that the moon is decreasing in size. Moving
                              from the full moon to the new moon. This is the time to do spells that banish
                              or release, weight loss spells are done at this time. If you need to break a bad
                              habit, or if someone you know is caught up in an addiction, now is time to do
                              the magick to help them.

                              When using a candle during the waning moon, , anoint the candle by starting
                               in the middle and working your way out to both ends. By doing this you are
                               pushing the negative energy away from you.
 

                             Black Moon-New Moon-No Moon- During this time, either perform no magick
                              or work and think things through very seriously before attempting to use a
                              spell.

                      There will be times when you are in need of doing a spell, to either help your-
                             self or someone else and it can't wait for the moon to be in the right phase.
                             Gather as much energy into yourself as you can and put all of it into the spell.
                             Granted you will be a lot more tired than usual, but this will help your spell to
                             be all the more effective. Learning how to raise energy and directing it into
                             your magick will take practice. Keep track of all the spells you do, this way
                             you will be able to tell what you might have done wrong, or done right so that
                             next time you can make the appropriate changes if necessary.
