Working with the Moon in magick.

HI Readers,

After last week’s post on working with the sun in magick I wanted to discuss how I work with the moon. I have read several articles, watched several videos, and read books on how the moon along with its various cycles can be utilized within a magickal context. For example, casting a protection spell at a full moon, a banishing spell to get rid of something or someone during a waning moon phase, however these are just a few examples out of many. Moreover, the moon can be used at different points during its cycle for different working aside from those mentioned above. For instance, I cast a banishing spell just before the new moon part of the lunar cycle as this was something, I was committed to not having in my life. This said, I could have started at the beginning of the waning moon, but I decided based on the spell itself to help me decide. Now, I want to share how I use the moon in my practice in terms of spells.

Protection spells.

When I think of protection I do not immediately think of negative entities, nor do I think of people’s harmful thoughts or vibes. Though these can be something you could protect yourself from it is not often that I cast a spell for protecting myself against some negative spirit. This is just my experience at this point. Further, protection can take a more practical approach such as protection against someone who is trying to harm you. Please understand that you still need to take all the necessary steps to ensure your safety in the physical world including setting alarms, locking doors, and everything else. I have cast protection spells during a Full moon, waxing moon, at sunset, I have even cast a protection spell during a waning moon. I start with the spell itself how I am going to cast, and I consider the sun along with the moon cycles.

Prosperity spells.

Prosperity spells are often linked with money but that is not the only thing they can be linked to. I think prosperity can mean different things to different people. For example, you could have lots of money but struggle to meet others or find that relationships are not fulfilling. However, prosperity can come in different forms. This said, I have cast spells for prosperity in the form of money. Once, I was broke at a different point in my life I had just started practicing and everything I read pointed to the full moon being an opportune time for performing magick in all its forms. Since I like to experiment, I decided to use candle magick to cast a prosperity spell during the next full moon. A few weeks later I received exactly what I needed but I know now that I could cast the spell during the waxing moon or at a new moon as part of starting a larger project. These are just some of the spells I have used but the moon gives us opportunities for other spells as well.

The main point.

Just like the Sun the moon provides us with opportunities to cast spells for all kinds of situations and is a valuable energy to work with in magick. Keep in mind that it is important to do the physical work before you cast a spell. Furthermore, I have used the moon to help me banish emotions, fears, along with protecting myself and family. Also, I have used the moon to connect with my intuition, perform divination, cast spells for help with creating new opportunities, personal growth, in addition to other aspects in life. I would urge you to explore working with the moon within your own practice. Experience can really help you learn.
