Moon Phases and Magick

Moon Phases Chart for 2004

The moon is a very sacred object in Wicca. It is a link to the Goddess and the ever-changing wheel of life. The moon holds a special power and its phases can make or break a spell.

Wiccas celebrate 13 esbats, or full moon rituals, a year. The moon completes its cycle every 28 days.

A Blue Moon happens when two Full moons occur in the same month. The second moon of the month is the Blue Moon.

The new moon is a time for new beginnings, fresh starts. This is the time to do magickal workings that deal with gains, starts and increases. It's a great time to repeat dedications. Most magickal workings undertaken on this day come into fruition by the Full moon.

Workings done between New Moon and Full Moon (the Waxing moon) follow suit. Use this time for spells that bring gains or to start new projects (money spells, good health, knowledge, etc.)

Chant to seal a waxing moon spell:

O, Maiden Moon, now hear my plea
Hearken, Hearken unto me
As you grow, my spell enhance
And power its magick with your dance (Dorothy Morrison)
