All about Moon water: Tips, how I make it, and more.

Hi Readers,

Lately, I have been working on plans for the Full Moon on Friday May 5, 2023. When I first started learning all about the types of Witchcraft and Magick I first learned about Full Moons along with how Full Moons can be used for several types of magick including cleansing, protection, or prosperity. Since I have grown more in my practice I have added more to working with the moon and its other phases apart from the Full Moon.  This said celebrating and working with the Full Moon energy is something I have kept going as much as possible. Even If it is just a simple ritual outside while the moon is out or just a meditation with no spells involved. Another aspect of working with the Full Moon is using its energy to charge items like crystals, objects for spells, divination tools like oracle cards, and making moon water. I want to discuss making moon water as moon water is something I have been using in my practice for a few years now. I want to discuss what it is from my own view, share some tips, and how I make it. I also provide a couple of resources towards the end of the post on other guides to give other ways of creating moon water.

Moon Water my View:

IN my view, Moon water is water charged with the moon’s energy. The water is placed in a container such as a mason jar, or bottle then the water is placed outside under the Full Moon. The process is similar when you charge crystals as the direct light of the moon and by extension the energy is transferred into the water and is given energy from the moonlight passing into the jar.  This is just my experience and how I have come to understand how moon water is created.  Others may have a different view and I encourage you to read up on Moon water. Quick Tip: I like to leave my water out at sunset so when the moon rises the water is already placed to receive direct moonlight as I leave my water out all night.

Tips and how I make Moon Water:

I would like to share some other tips for making moon water before I get into how I make it:

  •  I use clear jars or bottles, so it is easy to identify and for labeling purposes.
  • I keep my moon water for the duration of the lunar cycle.
  •  I use pure water as pure as I can find (even IF it is from a bottle because sometimes it is all you have.)
  • Write the date and when you made it so you can keep track.
  • You can use Moon water for cleansing, protection, purification, psychic abilities, to add lunar energy to spells, elixirs, offerings, and so much more!
  • Note: If you wish to consume the water, please boil it If you forget to pick it up the next day or if you are unsure of the safety of it.
  • You can make moon water during any time of the moon cycle. Just know that for full moon will have a different energy than the rest and I figured since a full moon is coming this is a suitable time to start with making moon water.
  • This includes eclipses!! Not sure where people got the idea where not being able to do something magick related during an eclipse, but I have done so, and it works with no issues.
  • Finally, be sure to start with small batches at first so you know how moon water works and be sure to charge it with a specific purpose (cleansing, psychic abilities). Also, store in a cool dark place.

As far as how I make moon water here is my general process. Sometimes it varies based on location, time, and what I have on hand. I use filtered water when available and I make sure to prepare my containers before placing the water into the container. I have used jars, spray bottles, and other containers so I am sure to wash the container physically and cleanse it magically especially if I have used it for something before. Also, I am sure to add the water after the container is washed and dried then I place it outside when the sun has set, or the moon is rising depending on timing. I usually start at least a few days to a few hours before IF I have the time to do so. If I am in a hurry, I have started within minutes of the moon rising. As mentioned previously, I leave the water all night and collect it as soon as possible. If it gets some sun energy its ok but I try to pick it up before then when I remember. I use it for all that I have discussed above and a final use for moon water is using a mist. You can get some spray bottles to use as a cleansing mist IF you can’t burn incense or candles, you can use to mist your space before spell work, ritual, or you can use it to mist yourself to help cleanse and purify you If you’ve charged the water for that purpose. I have also added it to baths or other forms of purification rituals. I am sure to label the moon water but sometimes I do forget.

If you have used moon water before I hope these tips and discussing my process can help you get started. If you have used moon water before what were your results? How did you choose to use it? Share in the comments below!
