Product Information

Jaffer, Hassan (2005) Moon Magic. Willowdale: Astrograph Inc. An annually published astrological self-help guide by astrologer Hassan Jaffer, using lunar cycles. Take a moment to reflect on what you want to manifest during this New Moon phase. Write your intentions down on a piece of paper and place it in front of the candles. Speak your intentions out loud, focusing on the energy of the New Moon and visualizing your desired outcome. During the waning moon phase, the moon is steadily shrinking. The waning moon takes the full moon and turns it into a new moon. During the process of the waning moon, you’re watching the moon get smaller and smaller to the human eye.

The moon is believed to give power in the sense that it has a strong influence on our lives and the natural world. By harnessing its energies, we can tap into its power to bring about desired outcomes and manifestation. Can you get power from the moon? This phase is when the last sliver of the moon is visible on the furthest left side. At this stage, the Moon has used up the last of its power and surrenders to Nature’s cycle. If you have not achieved your goals that you’ve set at the beginning of the month, don’t beat yourself up over it. The waning moon phase is also about self-kindness. Moon altars help you to stay focused on each phase of the moon, and learn to turn your personal energy to its cycles.Each phase of the moon corresponds to a particular type of energy, making it a powerful tool for timing your magical activities. For example, during a Waxing Moon (which occurs between the New Moon and Full Moon) is an excellent time for attracting new opportunities and manifesting your desires. During a Waning Moon (which occurs between the Full Moon and New Moon) is a great time for releasing negative energy and letting go of things that no longer serve you. Moon Bathing: Standing outside under the light of the Moon and allowing the energy to wash over you Learning to work with these phases is ultimately about learning to live in harmony with nature and its endless cycles. It is said to symbolize the ability to make choices and bring change. Representing the element of fire, it isn’t used as a mundane knife for carving or cutting. 7- Chalice Tarot or Oracle Cards: Using tarot or oracle cards can help you tap into your intuition and gain insight during the different lunar phases.

I typically work as an eclectic witch, pulling from both folk magic and traditional magic, but I do consider myself a lunar witch or moon witch too, because I work so closely with the energy of the moon. I find that the moon is incredibly powerful and comforting at the same time, making it the perfect energetic force for both beginner and advanced witches! Incorporating the moon’s energy into your practice can be done in many ways. Some popular methods include creating moon water, charging crystals under different phases, performing spells or meditations during specific times, and using moon phases for setting intentions or goals. It is essential to find a method that resonates with you and to follow your intuition. 6. Can I Practice Witchcraft Alone?

So what is moon magic?

Light the candle and say a prayer to your patron God or Goddess. Spend some time visualizing the obstacle disintegrating from your life. I personally love to write out my affirmations for the moon cycle during the new moon. These are specific things that I want to accomplish or things outside of myself that I want to happen by the full moon. I write these affirmations in the present tense (as though the thing has already happened), then I burn each slip of paper and bury the ashes in a houseplant or outside. Most witches take this time to recharge their magical energies in this phase. There are some that enjoy harnessing the dark energy associated with the dark moon. This is a time when some would consider ‘closure’ to the lunar cycle. Magic rituals done in this stage center around breaking destructive habits.
