Moon Lore

Full Moon: Good for almost all types of magick and power raising, but the energy of the Full Moon is generally used for protection magick, divination, and banishing unwanted influences in one's life. It can also be used for planning, releasing and working backwards in time. Give thanks for blessings that have come your way. It is believed that the best results for Full Moon magic can be obtained by conjuring within the seven day period surrounding the Full Moon, three days prior, the night itself, and three days after. Success may take one moon cycle to be obtained. Goddesses: Diana, Mari, Isis, Ashera, Selene.

New Moon: Especially good for new beginnings, the New Moon can be used for personal growth, healing, or the blessing of a new project or venture. The results should come to completion by the first Full Moon. The dark of the moon, the three days before the New Moon, is a time when the moon cannot be seen at all. Traditionally, no magick is performed at this time. It is a time of rest. Hecate rules this time, however, so if her magick is needed, this is the time. Goddesses: Artemis, Nimue, Diana, Astarte, Ana.

Waning Moon: This is the period between the Full and New Moon. A disseminating time for banishing things that we no longer need or want to in our lives. Banishing negative emotions, bad habits, diseases and ailments can be successful at this time. Goddesses: Hecate, Anna

Waxing Moon: This is the period between the New and Full Moon. This is the best time for attraction and growth magick, especially between the New Moon and First Quarter. Waxing is the process of building up, now is the time to push things forward to manifestation. A good time to work with the triple Goddess aspect.
