Lunar Phase Meanings and Associations 🌙

🌑 New Moon 🌑 — time used for starting anew, personal growth and setting new intentions

Magic: consecrating new tools, cleansing and banishment

When: the moon is directly between the sun and earth, so we see the dark side of the moon

🌒 Waxing Moon 🌔 — time used for gaining power and energy and acting on intentions

Magic: love and attraction magic, cleansing and protection rituals

When: the sun begins to move closer to the moon so we see the first crescent of light until the moon is almost full

🌕 Full Moon 🌕 — time used for using power and energy and sealing intentions

Magic: cleansing and charging rituals, manifesting and divination

When: the sun is opposite the moon so we see the entire light side, two weeks after the new moon, for three days before and three days after

🌖 Waning Moon 🌘 — time used for gratitude and banishing negativity

Magic: cleansing and banishing rituals

When: the sun begins to move further from the moon so we see the first dark crescent until the moon is dark

🌑 Dark Moon 🌑 — time used for regaining energy and reflection

Magic: no magic is performed, focus on personal matters and self care

When: three days before the new moon, the moon cannot be seen in any phase

Here’s the explanation for fellow baby witches

It's generally accepted in witchcraft that we get our energy and power from the moon. As the moon goes through different phases, so do our abilities. This is why it's important to pay attention to the moon phases, so we know which forms of magic are best to perform and what time for the highest success rate.

I never did this, and I dont know why, but i regret it. I lost motivation in witchcraft for a while because nothing i seemed to be doing was impacting my life. I had a recent spark that brought me back though, and i regret not paying more attention to this stuff, because i'm a very structured person as it is.

An important note is that this isnt a complete list of all the phases, it's an overview. there are more detailed versions all over tumblr with crescents, gibbouses and quarters, but this is my current understanding at my current level, and one day i'll expand it.

Also, other versions have setting new intentions during the waxing phase, whereas i have it in new moon. This is just personal preference because it's what makes sense to me. If you have questions or corrections, let me know!

.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ Tea Potion for Change ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+

Hello friends. We have finally come to the end of 2021, and I'll be the first to say that I am ready for a new chapter. The new year can be a challenging transition as it may welcome new pressures, uncertainty, and anxiety. 2022 is going to be full of many changes in my own life, and I am sure that many of you are in the same boat. Therefore, to welcome the new year, I wanted to focus on the idea of change and welcoming change. Change may be scary but it is normal and healthy. Peppermint is the main ingredient of this potion because it is associated with change which may assist you in your transition into the new year.

.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ Ingredients ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+

1 tbsp of peppermint (leaves or a teabag) ~ Change, prosperity, purity

1 tsp of honeysuckle ~ Confidence, protection

1 tsp of lemon balm ~ Healing, success, anxiety relief

A pinch of black pepper ~ Courage, protection

1-2 cups of water

Honey to taste ~ Love, money, healing

.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ Directions ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+

To a tea bag, add peppermint, lemon balm, honeysuckle, and black pepper.

Boil the water and add the tea bag, allowing the tea to steep in a pot or a mug for 3-5 minutes.

Add any honey or sweetener you may like (or don't) and stir the tea clockwise. You can use this as an opportunity to think or speak out any affirmations or changes you hope to manifest in the new year. Finally, enjoy!

.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ Affirmations ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+

My heart is ready to welcome change.

I am transforming into the truest version of myself.

My goals are achievable.

I deserve to be happy, healthy and loved.

I am allowed to go at my own pace and take breaks.

Candles: Color and Purpose

Candles are seen as the most powerful object for witches. If one lights a candle while reciting a chant or prayer for enlightenment, empowerment, and good health is one way to use a candle. One can also ward off negative energy and impart positive energy into one’s life using a candle also. 

Historical Uses

Birthdays were the first ritual with candles used. Many believe the practice of wishing and blowing out the candle brought this wish to the gods who would grant it via the smoke. 

Candles represent earth (wax), air (smoke), water (melted wax), and fire (flaming wick).

Magical Uses

Always be in the right frame of mind, or the spell will create an opposite effect intended

Allow candle to burn down on its own for most rituals 

When the candle has extinguished itself, the spell will be complete

Some rituals and spells may ask for the candle to be extinguished and then re-lit the next day

Never leave a candle unattended 

Give decent amounts of time for the candle to burn

Choosing a Candle 

Magickally disinfecting your candles before using them is very important, since the energy from those who shipped it may linger on the wax. It is good to make your own candles from scratch for this reason also. 

Avoid dipped candles such as white candles dipped into colored wax. Try to find ones solid color throughout  

Cleansing Your Candle

Depending upon your preference, you can do a few things to cleanse your candle, such as leaving it outside for a week in the garden to soak up the moon’s rays at night. 

For a less time-consuming cleansing, you may anoint your candle, using water and oils prior to the spell or ritual:

Wipe clean with a paper towel, removing all dirt 

Prepare a solution of spring water, one teaspoon of sea salt, and warm until the salt dissolves. Allow to cool, and then pour back into the bottle. Keep this in the refrigerator for about a month for use over time. 

Intent. Stand in front of your sink, hold the candle in your left hand (nearer to your heart). Be very careful not to wet the wick, and pour a small amount of the sea salt spring water solution over the candle. If using a tea-light candle for quick burn time, remove the candle from its casing before cleansing with the water. Take a fresh paper towel and dry the candle very well and say the following: “This magickal water cleanses thee, with good intent and purity” (Robbins and Bedell, 2017).

Inscribe the candle with a small, sharp knife or thick needle, and scratch your full name and your wish into the wax. It is not important that it be legible, nor the location where inscribed. The words will clout the spell more as the candle burns down. 

To anoint your candle, pour some pure vegetable oil into a bowl. This oil is used for most anointing, but if using a spell for health and well-being, you may mix in a few drops of other oils if you wish. Lavender is common for health and well-being spells and will make the magick more intense. Hold the candle in your left hand again and dip the first finger of your right hand into the oil and run it down the candle from top to bottom in a line. If anointing a tea-light, place it back in its casing, dip your finger into the oil, and smear it in a clockwork motion around the top of the candle wax. Say this invocation: “This magickal oil anoints thee, with all things good, magickally” (Robbins and Bedell, 2017). The candle is now cleansed, charged, and ready to be placed in a suitable holder in preparation for the spell you choose. 

Rhyming and repetition can help add punch to a spell. A lot of ancient and prewritten spells will rhyme with a poetic fluidity. Repeating the spell will give power to the message each time. The most magickal numbers that represent completion are 7, 9, and 12. 

To end the spell, you will need to close the ritual. Choose one of the phrases such as “and so it is” or “the spell is cast” or “so mote it be” before looking upward and saying “thank you.”
